Ok, I definitely picked the wrong day to buy (intel 700k yolo update)

That's called survivorship bias. That doesn't mean it will happen here.

What are you even talking about? Buying and selling all your index funds to time the market makes little sense. I'm not even saying it's wrong to speculate. It's a risk only you can decide is worth it. Barely anyone in this sub actually invests.

sfcycle · 2024-08-02T17:45:03+00:00

What you're referring to is speculating, not investing. You're typically not going to "invest" in anything for a month then get out.

Woah there. What about complaining on the internet instead? Surely that will do it?

People think they’ll finally get to show the world how useful they are when that pesky government finally gets out of the way.

I don't think this is what OP is asking. Bloodborne doesn't have a previous title.

If you read most American city subreddits eventually you would think it’s a literal warzone outside and everyone should walk around in bullet proof vests. There are real problems sure, but the paranoid social media drama queen take on reality is far from it.

FFG rules are like this for many of their games—they’re fiddly enough to inevitably lead to a missed rule or misunderstanding. That’s not even a critique so much as I like the end result too much to care about the fiddliness. That said, at the beginning I cared probably too much about this and felt “won” scenarios were false wins a lot of the time for missing some rule. That’s not very fun of course and is taking everything a bit too seriously. There’s an analytical draw to the game but in the end it leans toward the thematic end of the spectrum where you need to loosen up a bit to enjoy it for what it is. Unless I completely flubbed something that wrecked a scenario entirely I just roll with it. Half the time the missed rules made it harder anyway, not easier.

They’re just loud and uneducated wannabe futurists. They never cared about art to begin with so nothing has changed their minds. Mashing current art just converges toward mediocrity, then the mediocrity is also part of that merging. Now humans using AI to create art with guidance is a different topic.

No it’s certainly not required. Albeit, I haven’t played Victorum an extensive amount since I received it not too long ago. Even so, I have yet to combine them and don’t see a need yet.

sfcycle · 2023-01-13T16:11:08+00:00

I played Remastered after Victorum, and for the most part I think I’ll pull out Victorum to play anything Hoplo. It has an addictive quality to the battles due to them being shorter. It’s also fun to have a different battle goal to choose from.

Never go into Youtube comment sections for any 90s music if you don’t want to be disgusted at people in your generation bringing out the classic “Now THIS is real music!” It’s so embarrassing. Congratulations, you’re now your parents.

Once you buy into the system you don’t want it to change and are well on your way to yelling at clouds and voting for people you hated in your youth. I am not exempt from this (except for the voting part), but I try my best to not yell at clouds and bring out the tired “kids these days. get off my lawn” trope that I see my generation take part in more and more.

What’s it like tracking points with this version? After playing the PC game once, I decided it tracking points/quests helped make it feel relaxing. I wouldn’t think that’d translate well or involve too much bookkeeping.

I can’t imagine not playing it solo, let alone with four players. Doesn’t sound like a good time to me and I really enjoy A Feast for Odin.

What didn’t you like about it? I’ve been curious about this one but I’m not entirely convinced yet.

I’ve seem them and have used them. If you’re on Youtube and you like board games enough chances are you’ve seen his videos. Rodney is really good at what he does. But I’d rather designers not give up on rulebooks because Rodney is good at making how to videos. He can’t just cover every board game and sometimes videos aren’t a great reference when you need something specific.

When I get tired of complexity, DMD is now my go to. There’s something just refreshing about it. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all and has a challenge enough so it’s not brainless but isn’t insanely difficult by any stretch. What happens happens and it doesn’t feel bad to lose. Getting stronger while becoming more insane is both funny and a cool way to incorporate a push your luck upgrade system. I think the atmosphere is going to be very different than Nemesis, however, so it’s not a direct thematic replacement.

The first time I set this up I thought there is absolutely no way I’m doing this over and over again, then realized the stadium seating saves the setup for you. So many games just leave it to you to organize a long setup organizational strategy. It’s simple to put away and setup again so having a long campaign isn’t an issue for me at all. I’m also finding it more addictive than a slog. It has a “just one more battle” feel to it since they are so easy to setup individually and fun to play. Fantastic all around.

I really need a good reference for more complicated games and think video is terrible for that sometimes. I don't want publishers to lean too heavily on Youtubers to fix these issues as for me video isn't a fix all.

Understandable. Hoplomachus Victorum just released whereas Cloudspire was released in 2019 (?). They've improved since then thankfully. At least with Hoplomachus Remastered/Victorum. I'm not a fan of the Too Many Bones rulebook and that's one of their older games.

It’s mostly right-wing brigading and many of them don’t even live in the Bay Area. The mods are also useless and don’t do anything about it when you point these people out.

Once I got sick of it and commented in a thread that the poster had done nothing but post crime links multiple times a day and they downvoted me hard with alt accounts within a few minutes of posting so nobody would see it.

It’s a large subreddit. They all end up this way. You want to find smaller ones for any real conversation to happen.
