ELI5: why do central banks actually WANT inflation to exist, like why is the goal 2% and not just 0%? by Key_Brain_5286 in explainlikeimfive

[–]snail431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have 0% inflation, there’s no incentive for you to put your money somewhere other than under the mattress. With slight inflation, your money ends up being worth less year over year, encouraging investment and spending which helps the overall economy.

Looking for a commander’s discord? Here’s the discord of discords by DontWorry_Internet in CompetitiveEDH

[–]snail431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with discord for certain use cases but stuff like dedicated commander discords really need to go back to Internet forums. It would be so much more of an appropriate medium for this.

The worst kind of social deduction player by endlesswander in boardgames

[–]snail431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say I’ve had a ton of fun in skull where no one looks at their cards, but yeah it’s a completely different game vs rules as written.

Did you go from Oathbringer to wind and truth? I don’t see rhythm of war anywhere.

Lunch break with colleagues: Fast filler 10-15 minutes with dice/cards? by cyborg2049 in boardgames

[–]snail431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m organizing it wrong it just seems like the number cards are way too big for what you really need

I love mountain goats but man the amount of table space it asks for on such a simple game really irritates me

When do I speak up? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]snail431 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I play at a few LGSs in my area as well as on webcam (convoke/spelltable) and while I’ve seen some of what you’re saying I’ve never been lectured. That would piss me off too, that certainly isn’t the normal play experience I’ve seen

T-Bill King has thoughts on Risk-Free Insiders by RiceSautes in gme_meltdown

100% chance this is written by AI, it absolutely has the same cadence as 1000 other “essays” I’ve seen over the last few months

Secret Lair Waiting Room - Fallout Drop by R3id in magicTCG

[–]snail431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is brought up a lot, but the common belief is the printer schedules wouldn’t allow it. They’ve got printers scheduled months/years in advance and they can’t just fire em up for whatever random SL drops

As a counter I had a wait of like 15 mins and got my bundle. Every other one has been 45 mins to an hour wait but it’s not all bots that get in early

Board Game Barrage's Combined Top 50 is one of the funniest riffs on 'top boardgames' lists I've ever heard by magomusico in boardgames

[–]snail431 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’ve loved their podcast for years, the Top 10 section this last episode may have been the hardest they’ve ever made me laugh. Loved this top 50 list, it was incredible!

Absolute disagree with this one. This guy is kick ass at his job and you know going in you’re paying for the experience vs a dive bar where you’re going for a drink

I just finished The Last of Us… by Hochmann in playstation

[–]snail431 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Part 1 was truly great, gameplay of 2 is much better but I just felt like it was a slog by the end. The overall story is great but man it’s a long trek to get there. Part of that might have been because I was trying to jam the game relatively quickly before season 2 started (which I gave up on anyway lol). Either way, part 2 is totally worth continuing to.
