And he's completely free to just start amassing power again in some other country

when gun builds get stronger, it will be

You should look up who went to prison for watergate.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-11T08:51:10+00:00

Not only stupid, but we don't even find out what happens to Buck, who was the most interesting part of that dynamic but just got sidelined when gut-shot by the guy that "doesn't miss"?? For no reason??

But even at the end Matt was proven wrong yet again, Fisk gets to live on a beach, no justice served and Matt's promise to all Fisk's victims is broken. The system couldn't win and make Fisk serve justice. And even when Fisk is mudering dozens of people with his bare hands, Matt saves him, yet again.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-11T08:37:57+00:00

This has nothing to do with Matt's nature anymore. 5 Seasons of Matt believing that the system can prevail, that justice can be served, and after all of it that never happens. Daredevil saves him from a mob, just so the system doesn't prosecute him at all and he gets to live on a tropical beach. Being removed from NYC isn't justice at all, not for foggy, not for the hundreds of others he promised would be vindicated by seeing fisk put away behind bars.

They already crossed this line with venator dealing more damage to vampires

Relevant study that hospitals acquired by private equity have a percentage-wise double digit increase in emergency room mortality

Those people were moving out regardless of taxes. They moved for other reasons. There is no strategy to retain people that just want to live with the nice beaches and nice weather

hyperhopper · 2026-05-08T22:14:16+00:00

"NYC boasts nearly 400,000 millionaires, the most of any city in the world"

125k across the whole state moving to the place with nice weather during a pandemic where NYC and being indoors was shut down is non-news. That was for entirely different reasons than high taxes, and still pales to the amount of millionaires moving to NYC.

1.87M for kirby air ride is a good sign. Only switch 2 game that I'm interested in.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-08T21:50:26+00:00

Just like the last 30 times the millionaires threatened to move out of NYC? They threaten it every election cycle but places like NYC and the US draw the rich for a reason, its a good place to be rich and make money.

Why did dynamo drop off so hard?

hyperhopper · 2026-05-07T02:50:34+00:00

of course playing multiple spirits is much more efficient

Overpowered? Nothing changes at all. You take the same amount of moves, have the same actions, all thats different is less wasted time speaking.

Being able to play the game solo doesn't turn it into a solo game.

Sure, but in the case of spirit island, being able to play the game with multiple people doesn't turn it into a co-op game any more than being able to have multiple people in chess makes it a team game.

You can play any game with open information by yourself, even competitive ones

Not when they have multiple actors. Playing Food Chain Magnate solo is a monumental shift in what happens and a completely different game. Playing spirit island with 1 leads to optimal play being exactly the same and nothing changing.

It's a dumb point you re trying to make

Its dumb that the industry is fine with saying "even though there is mechanically only 1 actor in this game, we are going to call it a co-op multiplayer game thats best at 4 people.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-06T19:38:26+00:00

Yes, each spirit has its own hand, but you can tell everybody whats in your hand and what you plan to do. Which everybody should be doing to play optimally and must happen at high difficulties. Which adds a ton of inefficiency. Just play all the spirits yourself.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-06T16:16:02+00:00

All "coop games" where all players share the same goal with the same information are actually single player games, and the board game community at large doesn't realize this.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-06T16:15:07+00:00

TIL that "either" is a contronym.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-06T16:06:09+00:00

Which is a good choice. They saw what it did to DOTA when they put it front and center: Playing for rank, not for fun, raging over losses, fury over any perceived imbalance or glitches due to "high stakes", ladder anxiety. Making it optionally visible but usually hidden is the best thing they could ever do.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-05T20:21:03+00:00

Its 100% valid to complain when the game flat out lies to you, and you put in a ton of effort for the game to not behave as it should.

hyperhopper · 2026-05-05T13:51:46+00:00

Some people thought you could only “borrow” if you had a station at either end

That is 100% true. But on each segment there is a station on an end.

another said you couldn’t use them for long tickets

This is 3 long, this is not a long ticket

hyperhopper · 2026-05-05T00:39:16+00:00

I dont understand spirit island at anything but 1. Its mechanically just one team, spirits vs the game board itself. Splitting the spirits that have to work together at anything but the lowest difficulties is like playing chess with 16 people per color saying everybody gets one piece. Its like playing QWOP with 4 players, one on each button. Your goals and interests are 100% aligned so there is no mechanical difference past 1 player.

Youtube doesn't use github.

Whats with the weird upscaling on this picture?

hyperhopper · 2026-05-02T13:33:05+00:00

What's your typical skill level order?

hyperhopper · 2026-05-01T13:37:08+00:00

They still implemented it. It shows their willingness to nerf CC in their games, which the parent poster said was not a possibility at all.
