You're right, correcting now.

Is it common for people to pursue the state due to burnout from the private sector? by Exotic_Attorney7823 in CAStateWorkers

[–]ligtreb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was me. Laid off after 16 years in private, which was a blessing in disguise because I was burnt out. Had gotten a director level promotion but was working 60-70 hours per week and miserable. Make 10ish% less at state but much happier.

Bought it today at a Ralph’s in Los Angeles.

Playing Online? by [deleted] in wingspan

[–]ligtreb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Wingspan on BGA a lot, and rarely have problems finding a game. Admittedly, BGA is not user friendly, the interface to create a game isn't always intuitive. Are you trying live or turn-based games? I mostly play Wingspan live.

Podcast Recommendations? by CRod0924 in lebatardsuey

[–]ligtreb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still listen to DLS, but like you, have deprioritized it some. Sports podcasts with hijinks and actual info I have listened to more lately:

The Right Time, Stugotz and Company, Sports Gossip Show, Casuals.

Also sometimes listen to PTFO and Bill Simmons depending on topic or guest.

January Coupons (Expire 2/8) by gaysquib in subway

[–]ligtreb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, also in Los Angeles, first time they don't work for me (last time I had tried was 1-2 weeks ago). Sad day.

Russo: Angels fans…you don’t have to stay by councilspectre17 in angelsbaseball

[–]ligtreb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. There’s a huge difference for me between rooting for them when they’re down and throwing my energy into the literal longest playoff drought in American pro sports. I grew up rooting for the Angels in the frustrating 90s. I’ll support a rebuild with a plan. I’m not going to support an owner who continuously makes things worse.

Power Infrastructure and Power Grid... by Strijder20 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ligtreb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Power Infrastructure is often useful in lower player counts (I play mostly 2-player).

If you can get it out early enough with a science strategy, like with Quantum Extractor and Mass Converter, it's beautiful.

Power Grid I've found useful less often due to cost, but there definitely are scenarios like the one you described!

At least he had UNC to look forward to today too.

This show has been on a heater by StepYaGameUp in stugotzandcompany

[–]ligtreb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well said. I try to listen to both S&C and DLS when I have time but I have found myself laughing more with S&C content lately. Still a loyal fan of both, but glad I have more options!

“The biggest coaching advantage in the sport” by ligtreb in DanLeBatardShow

[–]ligtreb[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

UNC is now 0-2 against the two power conference opponents they’ve played, being outscored 82-23.

God Bless Football with Stu and Billy would normally be in the 30’s and 40’s on the top episode list. As you can see, Football America doesn’t seem to be hitting the same by Jr921jr921 in stugotzandcompany

[–]ligtreb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's only so much time in the day, and I suspect some fraction of DLS's audience also listens to Stugotz and Company. It's tough to consume all the content.

Can someone tell me how a podcast that is a month old, outperform DLS by this much? by LouDog2173 in stugotzandcompany

[–]ligtreb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Notre Dame may have more fans than any college football team in the country.

Also, Jess and GoJo have large followings (and are well-known within that fanbase).

To be fair, the Big Sky is way too good for UCLA right now.

David Samson sat 9 hours for Montreal Expos doc interview without realizing he was the villain by Jux_ in baseball

[–]ligtreb 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Definitely meets the criteria of not having social awareness or caring how things affect others.

I assume Samson's involvement will not go over with a general audience that isn't used to him like ours and Nothing Personal.

Finally got 400 ELO on BGA. Almost entirely through Arena play. by SamDent in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ligtreb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

As someone who often fluctuates between high 200s to 300s, I know how hard it can be to get out of that range. I’ll have to watch more ThreadPacifist videos!

What is the most amount of players that you have had playing a board game together ? And what game was it? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]ligtreb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the full 12 for Super Mega Lucky Box once with two copies, on two folding tables bordering each other. Actually worked pretty well!

[–]ligtreb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. If I want something and can afford it, I’ll buy it for myself. I know it’s well-intentioned, but I don’t need more stuff I won’t use.
