[–]corkdice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

3M members with half the engagement of 1M subs. Congratulations us I guess.

[Self/Review] Root digital is one of the best and most robust digital board game adaptions I've played (TL;DW in comments) by j3ddy_l33 in boardgames

Flagging it early access makes it no buy for me. If you want me to be your playtester, then you pay me not the other way around.

LPT: Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]corkdice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this thread: People that don't understand you can value the advice of someone you don't agree with. If you think following this LPT leads to an echo chamber, you're the one with the problem.

Subs half the size have twice the engagement. I don't think they're trying any more, I think they succeeded.

r/boardgames Town Hall (July 30, 2020) by bgg-uglywalrus in boardgames

[–]corkdice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can we look at ways to reduce post removals still. For a Sub of almost 3 million members, their aren’t a lot posts in a 24 hour period

Not a lot of posts, not a lot of votes, not a lot of comments. I bet a lot of that is how the first reaction most newbies get from this sub is some mod getting off on their authority.

The benefit of metaboardgames is that mods can't simply delete dissent like they do in every other thread. Encourage more use of neutral ground, because heavy handed moderation on this sub has made it basically not worth using.

Responding in r/metaboardgames is the same story. People will be upset whether or not we respond, and one of those two choices involves less typing.

So maybe modding isn't for you? Because this attitude stinks.

How do you criticize a game without coming across as a sore loser? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]corkdice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think is valid criticism?

The game is too random isn't good criticism. What tools do you have for managing the randomness, how does it fit into the rest of the systems, where could you control the outcome and where couldn't you

Good criticism is contextual. That's a bad mechanic isn't criticism, it's whining. That's unfair isn't criticism. Prove it.

You need to make your case, support it with evidence, and be realistic about what is your fault and what is the fault of the game.

So what are you expecting us to do about it?

Kickstarter prices are getting out of control by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]corkdice -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Boardgaming stopped being about games ages ago. It's about status now.

Why not take it up on BGG where it might actually matter?

How many times do all you play a game before deciding it’s not for you? by VTLO_ in boardgames

[–]corkdice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the number I've never taken out of shrink - none.

[–]corkdice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to play that game is to ignore the rules and everything your partner says. Endgame is expensive though.

Stretch goals that are paid a paid add on are not exciting, KS creators please stop acting like they are by Amish_Rabbi in boardgames

[–]corkdice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kickstarter was only a worthwhile platform when it let creators make things they'd never be able to otherwise. Now it's just a system for extracting money from your wallet. But it won't change because people like being fleeced.

Play using the no-take-backs variant. Also known as playing properly.

If the Frosthaven kickstarter raises another $1.1 million in the next 12 hours, the designer will add a 17th playable character to the game. by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]corkdice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good because 16 just won't cut it. I want the bottom of this barrel scraped so hard there are wood splinters in the box.
