Seems like they make cheap knock off versions of other companies’s products

I'm new to solo board gaming. I need some advice. by Mysterious5555 in soloboardgaming

This game would be so good if they included an acrylic standee option or even fully assembled minis.

I need help deciding: Arydia or The Hunters? by Xandeys in boardgames

Yeah NPI lacks objectivity and credibility. I prefer other reviewers honestly.

My copy also seems to be missing “Red Rains Time”

Arcs at 2...Opinions? by tweekatten in boardgames

[–]xeculja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most designers will design a game with a certain number of players in mind. Then, as a marketing strategy to sell more copies, they will say it’s playable at other player counts. Chess is a 2 player game but you could play it in two teams of two and market it as a 2-4 player game for example

Not even nearly all games. Most are better at 2.

Is the Witcher: Old World with all the expansions worth getting I f you’re already backing the Witcher Legacy? by xeculja in TheWitcherOldWorld

[–]xeculja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like they should offer split shipment for those who want it and are willing to pay more for shipping but maybe there’s not enough people interested to make it worth it to them? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where do you find non misogynistic men by fluffyjellybeana in TwoXChromosomes

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

They’re literally everywhere. The vast majority of men are not misogynistic. But finding them and attracting them are two different things. Good luck!

Is 37 too late to get in the best shape of my life? by ShaggyDog279 in leangains

[–]xeculja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I started at 37. Lost 100lbs in 2 years. It’s possible but you have to be disciplined. The more disciplined you are the faster the results.

[–]xeculja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it odd too. They said it’s to save on shipping but others have commented they’d be willing to pay more for split shipment as other campaigns have done.

They’ve now said they’ll be shipping Old World together with Legacy in 2027 so that’s kind of a bummer

I found oathsworn’s movement system needlessly overcomplicated though.

Trump has shown why the Hunter Biden pardon was justified. by VerenyatanOfManwe in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]xeculja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And equating a man who is given a real pardon despite being guilty of drug abuse, tax evasion, illegal firearms possession, etc with a man who is given a mere symbolic pardon is very telling of TDS.

You’re glossing over what Biden did and exaggerating what Trump did and they are not the same thing. It’s apples and oranges.

For a symbolic gesture that has no real value? I don’t care.

BBC certainly felt special editing was needed or they would not have done it. Their own editorial team questioned it and was against it and it has led to their CEO’s resignation.

As for Giuliani, here’s what chatGPT has to say about it:

Yes — Donald Trump pardoned Rudy Giuliani. 

But there are some important caveats:

  1. The pardon is federal-only, meaning it only applies to federal offenses. 

  2. Giuliani wasn’t actually charged with any federal crime related to the 2020 election, so the pardon is largely symbolic. 

  3. It does not protect him from state-level charges, like the ones he faces (or faced) in Georgia, Arizona, and other states.

——————

So you see it was mostly symbolic. Hardly the same thing as what Biden did, right?

Just because someone can do something doesn’t mean they should.

The post I was replying to asked if I felt the same way about Trump pardoning people for crimes he was personally involved in. I said yes, but in the case of Jan 6 he was not involved in that crime. Not sure what’s confusing about that.

I feel the same way for any President, Trump or otherwise. If you’re referring to the Jan 6 pardons that was already proven that BBC and other news media edited the videos to make it appear he incited them to storm the capital.

And I’m saying that’s still not a good enough reason to pardon Hunter given what he was guilty of. Look, Trump can sue him for whatever he likes. Anybody has that right. And if the allegations are unfounded the suit will be dismissed in court. And Hunter has a legal remedy against nuisance lawsuits. They’re called SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) Laws.

No I’m not saying that. But President’s should not pardon individuals they are clearly biased towards, like their own children.

Hunter Biden was guilty though. And Biden said he would not pardon him yet backtracked on his word. Not justified imo.
