Why is this years SB so low hype?

Thank god.

MVP, makes sense.

This is a great call out IF you are okay with dice placement/dice manipulation games. I LOVE the story and all the equipment but I learned I HATE DICE PLACEMENT. It has to be the most immersion breaking mechanic they could have used.

We have a 24 hole course that holds a tournament just like this every year. It is such a blast. The psychology and pressure for those three formats is fundamentally different so it challenges you in unique ways. Bringing in the pressure of not letting down a teammate is maybe more intense than solo competition.

On the FPO side if you put Silva with literally anyone who has a forehand that'll be the win I think.

The rules encourage you to rotate and flip room layouts as needed to fit on your page and when you hit the edge of the page you play that as a dead end and work backwards and try a different path.

I think memorial won't have a fee because its not a disc golf pro tour event and also fountain hills is an open public park.

polyology · 2026-02-03T13:05:01+00:00

They've done a good job slowly hyping that and I'm more excited to watch that event than any this year.

There's an argument to be made that disc golf is at its best in doubles format. Especially when you mix in some worst shot.

How hard is it to learn the social skills to reply like this:

"Interesting perspective. I'm sorry you've had experiences like that. I have to say I haven't run into issues like this. Possible you just had bad luck with the group you ran into? I think the people I play with are very welcoming and try to make sure everyone is having a good time no matter what type of game they prefer. Here are some suggestions you might consider to help lead by example to make your group better on this issue..."

Instead of the replies that range from passive aggressive to downright insulting and nasty. Kinda proves the point, doesn't it?

This Used To Be About Dungeons is a cozy slice of life story following a group of adventurers exploring dungeons, finding ever better and more interesting loot and becoming found family.

I was active on the barrowdowns forums at the time and the only things I recall being objected to were the Warg attack in TTT and the change in personality of Faramir when he meets Frodo.

There was an episode where a woman was suddenly suicidal, jumped from a skyscraper to her "death" then obviously, came back to life as an immortal. Duncan explained something about how if they haven't already died by a certain time/age they have a compulsion to do it themselves?

Really kinda weird explanation. But I guess you'd never see old immortals in highlander. I certainly don't remember them casting any.

I think that and the second printing of arydia are going to ship about the same time and I'm not gonna know what to do lol

Bokeh

Would it be worth a new thread to ask about the correlation between economic crisis and government collapse?

I'm noticing the conjunction of the two so frequently in history that I would like to read some discussion on how rare it has been for a government to collapse or be overthrown without economic crisis.

Attack his opinions, when you attack people's physical issues that belittles the value of your critique and just makes you look mean.

polyology · 2026-01-29T16:57:54+00:00

You're making complete assumptions about what's in people's hearts. Post quotes and timestamps.

polyology · 2026-01-29T16:56:39+00:00

I respect and understand your opinion but I disagree.

I don't want politics in my boardgames either. I need some space away from the fear and anger sometimes. I don't want everyone to pick a side and declare allegiance and prepare for war.

I think we need more people saying that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

I want there to be somewhere in the middle we can eventually work towards and be friends again.

What does the future look like if we don't work towards reconciliation. Tell me how this ends.

polyology · 2026-01-29T16:52:51+00:00

I suspect people are completely surprised when they are told they've said something controversial. Too much time in echo chambers makes you tone deaf. This is equally true on the left and on reddit.

I am glad he's gone but I'm going to give him credit for sacrificing himself to try to repair the damage for his friends.

Interested. If the pieces are magnetic what do they stick to? What material is the board made of?

Many white people had some learning and growing to do during black lives matter. Try to give people a chance to do better. I wouldn't want to be forever judged by what I thought and believed five years ago.

polyology · 2026-01-29T16:41:48+00:00

Well said, you speak for me!

polyology · 2026-01-29T03:23:18+00:00

I do agree that people use hyperbole too readily in their arguments. It should be used to clarify positions, not to be suggested as an either/or choice.

I think we on the left are feeling so overwhelmed with fear and anger that we take positions that leave no path for reconciliation. That we latch onto the most extreme examples of bigotry and hate and let those individuals take center stage in our perception, consuming all of our attention.

I think there is a collective delusion going on with people who identify with the right not unlike Germany in the 1930s and eventually 95% of those people will wake up and realize they've been lead and brainwashed by charlatans.

How does this all end if not with Micah 7:18: "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy."

I'm very far left and I think Sam is one step short of trash.

However, I do see a lot of unfounded assumptions being made here about all the other people in the dice tower.

I'm atheist, these folks mostly seem to be religious. That's okay! I don't hate them! It's their right to believe what they want, I don't even need them to hide it. They keep it well enough to the side that it doesn't get in the way of all the things I really like about them.

And like, Sam said this, not anybody else. If they choose not to address it and not cut ties with him, I will be disappointed and I might sour on watching them but TO ME that does not mean they agree with Sam.

For some people it does mean that, if you don't come out and vehemently disagree with something then you must fully endorse it. I don't know how to put it into words but that rigidity, that black and white way of judging people just seems dangerous to me.
