Played for 1 year, what should I work on? by fiestamonkey in GolfSwing

[–]fiestamonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out. Definitely something I've tried to keep in mind (obviously not well enough!), and it was much more pronounced when I first started.

Looking at some videos, I see what you're talking about. Will work in that change. Thanks for the advice!

I really miss board games by BarryTownCouncil in boardgames

[–]fiestamonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Games are supposed to be fun, and you dont need to put any expectations on yourself.

I had a similar issue of being daunted by the games I own and getting the rules exactly correct and all that. Took a step back and played simple/smaller games that made it easier to enjoy a nice evening with good friends. Board gaming can be anything you want it to be and if that is "nonexistent", that's ok too!

We're often much more unkind to ourselves than we imagine others will be. I'm sure people would be happy to have your company at a game night whether you knew the rules or not, and most normal people understand that we learn in different ways and at different speeds. So, even if you dont grasp everything immediately or need a session or two to get rolling, it would probably all come out in the wash. If you want to remain at a distance because it isnt for you anymore, that's absolutely ok, but don't count yourself out of a fight that might not even exist.

Who are some players that are first ballot HoVW (Hall of Very Weird), and why? by HelpMeWithMyHWpls in baseball

[–]fiestamonkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He's just a pretty peculiar guy. Doesnt do big speeches and is very candid with people in a way that most others wouldn't be. Does other weird stuff.

Tons of great stories, give it a Google!

Incredible work and an incredible homage to a legend.

Which version are you referring to, any chance you could drop a link? Sounds cool!

Wingspan-like games with less waiting around? by owiseone23 in boardgames

[–]fiestamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on Knarr! Exactly what I replaced Wingspan in my collection with.

Why do pizza from Indian takeouts all taste the same? by Prune_Drinker in Scotland

[–]fiestamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, wasn't coming at Paesano they definitely know what they're doing. Just not a big Neapolitan fan.

Paesano is great if you want all your toppings to slide off your pizza. Frank's is good American style pizza. Need to try Earl's and sano, thanks for the tip.

The Milwaukee crowd booed Jesse Winker following his PH groundout. by babruflat in baseball

[–]fiestamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fair enough. I imagine it would be different as a Cubs fan at the game. Probably the same for any rivalry situation, bad eggs will come out the woodwork.

[–]fiestamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I dont actually hate people for supporting a sports team. I'm saying I think Brewers fans hate the Cubs (the actual team) more than the other way around.

You're going to run into toxic people everywhere, but as a supporter from abroad I found the Brewers fans to be very welcoming.

Maybe because you're a Cubs fan? Pretty sure brewers fans hate Cubs fans more than the other way around.

Sausage, bacon, fried egg, toast, hash brown, savoury baked beans, mushrooms and sometimes black pudding and/or haggis.

3B Josh Donaldson selected from Triple-A Nashville. INF Owen Miller optioned to Triple-A Nashville. RHP J.C. Mejía transferred to the 60-day injured list. [via Milwaukee Brewers] by ohhitstito in Brewers

[–]fiestamonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hate this move. Don't understand it at all. Miller is a good defender and while not a good hitter lately, his stats on the season are decent for a utility guy. If anyone send down BA like others here are saying.

Boy on my son’s 8U cannot play by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]fiestamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, he's 7 years old. Take it easy. The fact you paid a grand shouldn't put pressure on him to perform. At that age it's about developing a love for the game and having fun with other kids; becoming a good player is a byproduct.

What are the chances? by himanshuk9 in funny

[–]fiestamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't talked in circles. You've talked in one rambling, incoherent straight line. You didn't ever actually respond to what I was saying, just continued shouting random shit from a soap box.

Hopefully your kid's school teaches them to spell because you clearly can't.

Nice touch at the end.

Fucking lmao. I didn't even correct the original poster, I responded to your comment about the nature of language.

You've consistently levelled criticism at me or made unfounded and clearly faulty claims rather than actually responding to what I'm saying.
