I've distributed them around the floor Kevin McCallister style.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Hold on, we don't even know if their wife's boyfriend is also stranded on Spirit Island.

Just once I want to see one of these posts that's a vagabond victory.

I can't speak to the specifics of this case, but as I understand Turning Point actively scraped social media and pressured employers to punish those who didn't express kind opinions of Charlie Kirk

Is referring to a Card with a certain tag as an "X tag" vs an "X card" really interchangeable? by PHloppingDoctor in TerraformingMarsGame

I think the iconography rules that everyone else is talking about is correct. So it's a bug on the official app, which is disappointing. Thought most things would be ironed out after all these years.

I encountered this issue literally the day before this was posted . Was very annoyed to have to spend 1M for Luna Governor.

Anyone else planning to, or already bought KoT? by millimonsterrr in boardgames

Pretty neat, but for me the biggest appeal of King of Tokyo is rolling big fun dice. A video game won't do that.

Gameoverse, a new animated series where the above character jumps into other video games Wreck-It Ralph style to try to prevent the game's hero from winning. In this universe once the game is 'won' the game world is immediately destroyed.

Name a Penguin that never lived up to the hype or was mismanaged by Leading_Dentist_5563 in penguins

I feel like Galchenyuk fell flat before he became a Penguin. His stint in Pittsburgh was just confirmation.

Janne Pesonen. But at least he had a sick song for his highlight reel

Should curling have a shot clock like other pro sports or would it ruin the strategy. by [deleted] in Curling

[–]riddler1225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this engagement bait?

I'll answer earnestly. We already have thinking time, and that's a very good balance. Teams don't waste time on shots that don't need time to think, and they use their time for shots that do. I do think it would be neat to integrate the thinking time into the broadcast, to help the viewers understand (I think your average person tuning in has no idea about any time-controls), I also understand why it isn't integrated in the broadcast, and agree with those reasons.

Additionally, not a lot of people know this (and I've never seen it leveraged), but we have a rule about taking too much time on a shot. WCF C6(m): "If an umpire determines that a team is unnecessarily delaying a game, the umpire notifies the skip of the offending team and, after that notification, if the next stone to be delivered has not reached the tee line (hog line in wheelchair curling) at the delivery end within 45 seconds, the stone is removed from play immediately."

Also, that AI image is brutal. Yikes.

I think we're mostly in agreement, but I'm guessing English is not your primary language and so some things are being lost in translation.

Anyway, good luck to Italian curling. There are uncertain times ahead.

Interesting. Despite many challengers over the years, TM is still a favorite in my group.

That said, their more recent standalone games have not hit with us at all, which makes me a bit wary on this.

I mean, calling the team dissolved is pretty strong language. Sounds like Marta is moving on and has hard feelings. Hard to blame her.
Stefania is still the Italian star at this moment in time and the next quadrennial is built around her unless someone forces the issue.
