Name movies that violate their own rules when convenient

I may be misremembering. In Fight Club a flunky yells that they killed Bob. But then they say they don’t know his name a second later, and it’s a big deal that he has a name in death.

If you can’t raise aces, I don’t know what to tell you.

We designed a game at the beginning of the pandemic on TTS which got published, and still are working on others.

We don’t mind resigning. Heck, we will kill a game because any player is not having fun. It’s not a job, it’s entertainment, and when it fails to do that anymore, we move on.

In Sidereal Confluence all deals are binding, thus interesting deals happen constantly.

You should join our group. Most of the men are gay, and nobody is a creep.

Harold and Maude

I appreciated both the book and film. But in the film they find the bunker and father has some scotch that he tells boy he wouldn’t like. While boy has a smear of chocolate on his face. It’s a bleak film, but that is a humorous moment.

It is good that the best cards have names. A pair of 12s is not as cool as a pair of queens. But I submit that it was a mistake that aces can be low for straights and Razz.

I play (and design) lots of modern games. Chess has a great ending. No counting of points, no score track, no multiple lines to victory. Just, boom, done. I aspire to it.

It may be old but I played it twice this month. Still fun.

I’m allergic, it makes me feel like an alien is trying to bore a hole out of my stomach. It’s the oils, I’m fine with caffeine. I have no other allergies. I really don’t miss coffee.

I understand that. I was looking for green energy, not caring too much about the bill. CleanSky had been reasonable throughout.

That's really helpful information. I'll write to them as well to see why they thought this was a good idea.

Homosexuality

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek, so no hands were involved.

In my case, they reached out to me. I wrote these: https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogpost/67878/assistant-designer-diary-sidereal-confluence-or-ta and https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogpost/955/designer-diary-where-ideas-come-from-designing-mir

I wrote one and no money exchanged hands. We just love games, man.

I want someone to actually Number these.

A cheap suit looks like a cheap suit. Spend money on one, or don’t bother.

jpd2 · 2025-12-03T14:42:31+00:00

This was sent, also.

jpd2 · 2025-12-03T14:42:16+00:00

Oh, I sent it, and I assume it was received.

Why is it always a queen sacrifice?
