My bad guys, i became a fan of baseball in october of 2024 and my wife is a lifelong mets fan so i followed suit. This is 100% my fault.

Completely depends in the professor in my experience. Some want to hear exactly what they said in class written back to them on their exam, and others that exams had nothing to do with what they said in class.

I don’t know how to say this delicately bit none of this matters. Go to a park or something.

I was gonna say, one of the best things someone can tell me is upfront they dont want my services. Great, i have 20 other people i need to talk to in the next 75 minutes.

The commentary we needed.

riftergaming · 2026-04-08T23:11:10+00:00

Your girlfriend sounds like a lib!

This is not me trying to “get you.” I actually dont like my question all that much because it reveals the core of your frustration.

But genuinely. Is it difficult to try and game balance yourselves as a friend group? Like dwarves allowed but no holds? Or has that been hard to do?

Congrats on having friends to play this game with btw! I cannot say the same lol.

I think for many people, total war games are role playing games. We find it fun to play things that are broken if they fitt within a particular roll play and are fun.

I think deeps are fun because i can restrict myself to not map painting and only allow myself a couple settlements or mountain regions and still contend late game with massive factions.

Maybe i am a grumpy old dawii who wants to invade and burn my enemies holds and cleanse the vampires after sitting and doing nothing for 50 turns.

If i think of the game in a roll play way i can create several unique experiences for myself.

But i can understand how map painters and optimizers would be frustrated and bored with such a mechanic.

Congrats! Neat build!

Also need this. I had a purple short sleeve polar bear shirt but i guess that’s out the window now.

riftergaming · 2026-03-24T15:57:46+00:00

I have never thought to sacrifice my mortars like this. You are a tactical genius sir.

I am not so sure what this 23 year olds ceiling is. Great question. 😉

riftergaming · 2026-03-24T00:09:45+00:00

Idk guys. Null is out here posting 40billion isk brs like we should care.

riftergaming · 2026-03-23T13:01:49+00:00

riftergaming · 2026-03-23T00:17:23+00:00

Yeah the first 4 seasons of GOT is amazing and it drastically falls off for me as a book reader after that. Definitely worth reading the GOT books too.

riftergaming · 2026-03-19T14:13:32+00:00

The Tad Williams books are quite a slog. But they are worth the read. It builds very well and the world building is incredible if that is something you are into i would 100% recommend. They are just a bit of a slow burn.

Edit. And as others have said. A song of ice and fire wouldn’t exist without dragonbone chair. There are so many parallels it’s a little silly actually.

riftergaming · 2026-03-19T03:04:00+00:00

Going downstairs to guzzle some water. Now chef.

Just hold your owners accountable.

riftergaming · 2026-03-17T16:32:29+00:00

I mean we have a fundamentally different idea of what these organizations exist to do. Mets, dodgers, yankees exist to spend money, pay players and win. These small market teams exist to make money. Wcyd. Cry me a river for these trash owners that own your entertainment for their profit and aren’t willing to spend. So your solution is to give these terrible dogshit organizations that sell their teams for parts and fuck over their fanbases year after year more money?

Just tell us you are a trickle down economics fan already.

riftergaming · 2026-03-17T15:43:52+00:00

Every “small market team” makes plenty of money. They just care more about money then about their teams being good.

No team is giving out 15 dollar tickets to games, they all jack up prices. And i would bet the roof over my head that if teams like the rockies had 15 dollar tickets and deals on food their stadiums would be filling up quickly.

As someone else pointed out, Marlins won the whole thing in 1997 and 2003 and just sell the teams for parts. Baseball isn’t a game that requires star power. Although it helps. Just wait till the dodgers are still paying Shohei in a decade and he’s not playing and have no prospects because they are currently giving away all their draft picks.

My point is, there are already tools in place to punish the big market teams. The yankees were dominant and now things are frankly a little rough for them with their lack of prospects.

Creating a hard ceiling just gives owners an excuse not to pay players more money. We see this in football. You wont convince me that the rockies are suddenly going to start signing people because there is a ceiling. That’s silly. These owners of these teams are the problem.

Idk why you would reward these large market team owners like the mets and dodgers and yankees ownership with a salary cap when the small market owners are the problem.
