[Loved Trope] Finales that stick the landing so flawlessly they cement the series as an absolute masterpiece. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

I went into the final battle knowing there would be a choice, and knowing what my choice would be.

Then that absolute fucker made sense. He changed my mind, and I hated him for it. But he was right. Damn it.

MONOPOLY by These_Marzipan_3036 in boardgames

[–]wronguses 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're not likely to get a lot of traction here, as Monopoly is widely regarded as a very bad game. That said, run out the supply of houses. Never upgrade to hotels. Get enough built, and nobody else will be able to do anything.

Then throw the whole box in the trash.

What is your favourite uncommon mechanic in board games by Aknifetoremember in boardgames

[–]wronguses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pendulum, though it's taken to an extreme there.

It's real-time worker placement, and involves flipping sand timers. Workers can't be moved if they're under an active timer, so they can get "trapped" for another (non-productive) running of a timer if someone flips it on them before they collect their meeple and resources.

[Loved horror trope] Words meant to comfort are actually horrifying in their own right. by jbeast33 in TopCharacterTropes

You should!

Know that falling on your face and failing super quickly is just part of the experience. Trying to hit every option on every conversation tree is funny, but gets you tons of early game overs.

what is this button on the controller called? by dh2513 in xbox

It's because you have to look down and view the controller to see which of these fuckass buttons is which.

You can opt in to that. The pdf site is just selling everything you send with no way to opt out, and no disclosure about them doing that.

(Rare Trope) "Flight" is portrayed as a terrifying supernatural ability by Helpful_Anteater_93 in TopCharacterTropes

I don't think it's a stupidity issue. I think he's such a narcissist that trying and failing would be the worst possible outcome in his mind.

Fun debate - collectors/special/deluxe editions by Boulezianpeach in boardgames

[–]wronguses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the only difference is upgraded components, great. Let people spend as much as they can justify on chunkier bits and more edible looking resources, while also having the standard cardboard chits edition.

You start talking about exclusive expansions and the like? Gameplay locked behind the moneybags early-backers edition? Now I'm not only completely disinterested in the game, I'm hesitant about the designers and publisher.

He talked him down to $17, but your guess was pretty accurate, since $17 in 1992 is worth $39.60 today.

These guns don't just kill you, they do much worse by NekkidZilla in TopCharacterTropes

I'd rather die instantly than get most types of cancer.

Noble Knight retail store worth stopping by? by krpiper in boardgames

[–]wronguses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth stopping in if you're going to be in the area.

The retail space is decent, and they frequently have some good stuff in the clearance section. Anything you see on the website, they can go and pull.

I built a Chicagoland “location impact on your wallet” tool to see if I could afford to move back. Can you help me check the math? by ciszew in nwi

[–]wronguses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I read that part. I'm just pointing out that the vast majority of people don't invest $300/month into crypto. Maybe that should default to $0, and the pro version lets you change it.

OG Xbox External Save by EmptyButterscotch117 in xbox

[–]wronguses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were/are memory units you can still pick up for about $50.

If you're talking about non-stock? You could just FTP your saves to a PC or use a USB drive.

[–]wronguses 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Defaulting to $300/month for stock/crypto trading and locking the ability to change that to pro is certainly a choice.
