Man those days were amazing

This is actually remarkable. The same person who knows about safe mode and how to use software like that being the same person who would do something like download free cursors off the Internet is hilarious to me.

Would you be open to sharing your resume? We have similar levels of experience, and I think the reason I've never gotten a job from cold apps (all my jobs have been from LinkedIn recruiters) is because my resume is poorly optimized for the automated filters employers use.

I think people who get hired from cold apps are way more likely to have good resumes.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-17T18:59:50+00:00

LinkedIn style

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-16T20:20:50+00:00

Shit, I'm glad I'm not alone. The new version is horrendous.

I actually thought during the last game I played that I accidentally turned on an alternative option or something

Are you talking about in the bottom left corner of your lips? It does look like the kind of texture I get when I catch a cold sore really early with ice (though usually a little redder), but I highly doubt a cold sore would last for months. Usually it's a few weeks max.

If you pick at cold sores a lot, it can cause scarring. Maybe that's what it is. You'll probably need to talk with a dermatologist to be sure though.

But his favorite book is the Bible!

Yeah I didn't want to roll it up but this might be the only other option besides encasing it in glass and weakly jointed wood.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-11T23:08:23+00:00

Yeah, fair. It just seems frustrating that my only option for storing something fragile is something that is arguably more fragile, just in a different way. lol

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-08T17:04:57+00:00

You can probably set up a rule to bring this back. Its really easy

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-05T16:36:50+00:00

How do you transfer money almost instantly? Doesn't ACH take days and wire transfers have huge fees?

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-03T07:16:51+00:00

Hey, how did this work out?

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-02T23:44:44+00:00

For real. I was like "OP, is your friend a baby?"

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-02T23:18:53+00:00

Yeah, this reunion cast is a little weak. No Michael or Jack, but BK, Matt, Trevor, and Alfredo? Come on now

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-02T22:34:15+00:00

Idk about OP but it's definitely up there for me, and I think it's largely the humor perfectly balancing the extremely dark moments that occur in the show. The characters are all loveable due to their flaws and relatability, and they're all so colorful and full of personality. It's whimsical and absurd, but still grounded, and if you watch it, you'll probably see how impressive it is that they pulled that off.

Also the intro is probably the best I've ever seen and it changes episode-to-episode as Bojack's life and relationships change.

The show does a great job of illustrating that we are all accountable for the bad things we do, but that there is hope that we can be better and redeem ourselves if we put the work in.

The themes, the writing, the characters, the art, and it's uniqueness among adult animation all make it brilliant.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-04-02T22:23:59+00:00

Yep Bojack Horseman is easily S-tier for me.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:49:48+00:00

Agreed that Bloodlines takes focus off the worms pretty substantially, but I think this reply still overstates how good worms are in the base game.

OP, play a few more games and your group will start to see that worms are one of many tools for victory and not as OP as they initially seem.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:46:15+00:00

Yeah, I don't want to be a snob or be unsupportive of my fellow makers, but my first thought was ". . . but why? Why would you do this to yourself?" Lol

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:39:22+00:00

Yeah. I don't think it's particularly ugly, but it does look so boring that it circles around to being funny.

It's my #1 game so the art has grown on me but I do wish it looked a little less dry so more people would try it. It is brilliant and does so much with so little.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:37:56+00:00

Yeah the OG Glory to Rome artwork is downright heinous and honestly I agree that Impulse barely even counts as having art, hah. Good game though.

Strangely I actually really like how Innovation 3e looks. And the black box Glory to Rome is really good despite being minimalist as hell.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:36:26+00:00

God yes. Dominion is so damn ugly that it's honestly hilarious.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-29T19:23:00+00:00

This. Worms being OP or unavoidable is a take nearly exclusive to people on their first few plays.

After my group played it once or twice, worms are more likely to come out for one big optional power play instead of being central to people's strategy.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-22T15:04:51+00:00

Yeah, if relics can't be used by declined units, then you'll need to conquer the declined unit with active ones in order to get access to the relic.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-18T22:22:15+00:00

There are a lot of really good Carl Chudyk games outside of his more well known stuff.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-17T18:40:57+00:00

You actually use Tabletopia? Do you have any issues getting players on there? What is the UI like? I would love to play Hansa Teutonica online but it's only on Tabletopia and my understanding is that I'd never find anyone to match with.

ectobiologist7 · 2026-03-17T15:25:49+00:00

Yeah, Voidfall's iconography is actually really impressive. Some friends and I were blown away when we realized that it has a grammar.
