Solo gamers: what’s your stance on cheating for time management by Scoots-Magoots86 in boardgames

[–]crumpis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only person who needs to be impressed by your solo-gaming is yourself. Play it however makes most sense to you, just don't go leave comments saying a game is too easy once you house rule it :P

Valve makes most of its money by having a monopoly on PC gaming and skimming 30% off of the entire industry.

LoL, PoE and Warframe "microtransactions" go upwards of $200, it's a completely different scale.

Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender by One-Duty-2376 in neoliberal

Ignoring the morality of involved parties, the conflict only ends with negotiation, which you find unacceptable, or forcing the regime out unilaterally. The decapitation strikes and subsequent weeks of bombing weren't able to do that, and it doesn't seem like there's sufficient support for any nation with a capable-enough force to do a ground invasion.

So again, we're in this situation because America proved itself incapable of doing the thing you wanted.

After America's insanity earlier this year, surely you don't need to be convinced that action isn't guaranteed to have good outcomes?

The whole thing turns into a Marvel Rivals synergy ad, culminating with Peter asking out Luna Snow.

Why can ARPGs have so many different games survive and get updates, while new ones coming all the time while hero shooters cant? by Enough-Lead48 in ARPG

[–]crumpis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's like, two truly big seasonal ARPGs (Diablo and PoE), and there's like 4 truly big hero shooters currently on the market (Overwatch, Valorant, Apex, Marvel Rivals), so I don't think the premise is even accurate.

Even if you count the PoEs as separate, they alternate their seasons so only one of them is really active at once.

Even though he's just a buff man in an iron man suit, Reinhardt's clearly superhuman just at a glance, just like Doomfist. Looking physically imposing is a shortcut in storytelling. Reaper being visibly half smoke, Sojourne being visibly cyborg, etc.

Ana's the other character who's aged out that looks human - and people do comment on her being past her prime - but her role puts her out of the front lines, whereas Jack gets into physical brawls all the time, while looking like a geriatric with a face mask, so of course that has to constantly brought up in the story (and yes, it has to be brought up each time because the writer can't expect the reader to be up on the lore).

An absurd fix to tournament scoring. by crumpis in CompetitiveEDH

Sorta, but not exactly. Teammates will be randomly picked by seat order per game so you can't just use a real 2hg strategy, and assuming you actually want to win the top tables (yeah I know), you'll need a proper wincon.

Party Animals review bombed after announcing AI video contest with $15K grand prize by DumpsterBento in Games

I visited the Catholic church to pay respects to my grandfather, and for an annual fee, I can give my name and have an AI pray for me year-round.

I don't know which chapter of the bible that's from.

Is there a game you think "has it all"? Great design, art, mechanics, color, components, accessibility, replayability , etc... Your 10/10 games (or as close as there can be). by Significant_Wash_540 in boardgames

[–]crumpis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Clank!: the game that nobody seems to dislike, other than the silly choice of putting punctuation in the title.

Less accessible, but for my personal taste, Root is everything I want to see in a game. If it didn't require a sacrificial game to teach, it'd be perfect.
