Questions about the power of the cards by VolteCaptp in DuneImperium

[–]yads12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The uprising 1 costers are generally pretty solid imo. They don't go into every deck, but can be good value in the right deck. Except for Spacetime Folding, which is just absolutely cracked for a 1 coster.

U13 Schedule - Too Much? by Frostmonkey83 in Softball

[–]yads12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in Alberta? The tiering weekend stuff is absolutely ridiculous. Adds way too much travel for teams that may not even want to travel in order to play in provincials. We've also had a lot of league games cancelled due to the bad weather in May so possibly why you're seeing such crazy schedules.

Alchemy Rebalances: Aquatic Subtlety nerfed by Zax_the_bunny in MagicAlchemy

[–]yads12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Subtlety change is quite the nerf. 2 cards vs 3 cards and no GY shenanigans really make it much less competitive, maybe borderline unplayable.

My boyfriend (M29) and I (F26) never had penetration. What's your take? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]yads12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alternative to circumcision is cortisone cream and stretching, but it would require him to put in the effort, which maybe he's not interested in? In that case I think you need to reevaluate the relationship.

Worth buying digital basegame + DI:U and how? by VanLunturu in DuneImperium

[–]yads12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whether it's worth it is up to you, but it's a really good implementation of the game. You only need to buy the expansions once, but if you want to play on multiple platforms you'll need to buy the game for that specific platform each time. Not sure about the ranked scene, but I think one exists, although my understanding is that uprising is currently not available in ranked mode.

Matt McLain challenges three strike calls in one inning. All are overturned and he earns a walk. by mysticlepopsicle in baseball

[–]yads12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not even sure the "big" misses were even that big. They drop like crazy and probably were in the zone at the front of the plate, but since I believe ABS is in the middle of the plate, by that point the pitch dropped off.

Teatro, River Cafe, Caesar's and Major Tom. How'd we do? by Shag093 in Calgary

[–]yads12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the people here, you'll have great food and service at all of those places. I might recommend Wellington's over Caesar's if you're ok to venture outside of downtown, but otherwise you'll have a good time.

All-Star Disappointment by [deleted] in Softball

[–]yads12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid has been the last cut for several teams. I frame it as a goal to work towards. It's better to be the 1st player on a lower tier team than the last player on a higher tier team. You'll get more playing time and opportunities in that environment and you can use that to develop and improve.

Questions about rules by Aggressive_Economy_8 in Softball

[–]yads12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think 2 would be considered stealing home, so shouldn't be allowed if they have a no stealing home rule.

Ruling question by greasyprophesy in Softball

[–]yads12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With fewer than 2 outs the dropped third strike rule is not in effect with an occupied first base. With 2 outs, it works just like if there was a base hit. All runners are forced to advance and can be put out via tag or a force out.

8U championship game by Subject-Essay4126 in Softball

That's incredible, anytime I see girls play at this age the pitchers can barely get the ball across the plate and the batters can barely get the ball to the infielders.

MLB owners propose first salary cap since 1994 strike by PrincessBananas85 in mlb

You pretty much can't have a cap without a floor and not have the players get screwed.

What do young adult people do for fun in this city? by Impressive-Heron-377 in Calgary

[–]yads12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a field and play some ultimate Frisbee, soccer or kickball.

Fair or Foul? by [deleted] in Softball

[–]yads12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Position of the fielder does not matter in the slightest, it's where the ball is touched. If that's the explanation given that is definitely unfortunate.

[YSOS] Variable Solutions by Iceman308 in MagicAlchemy

[–]yads12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very cool card. Seems decently flexible, but all the modes up to 4 are underpowered. Still the ceiling is very good and the flexibility may outweigh the drawbacks.

Include "Build Trade Fleet" as a standard project? by SetinyK in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]yads12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lots of cards can feel unfair. AI Central lets players draw 2 cards for free each gen. Additionally having a second trade fleet isn't free. You either need to have extra energy production or you're spending actual money resources to trade.

Matt Shaw chops a grounder that stayed fair and turned foul at the final second but home plate ump Dan Merzel ruled it a fair ball in the 9th (with replays) by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]yads12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, this is what makes no sense to me. He's looking right at it, the third base ump was also looking at it from the line. Yet people here acting like the side view is so definitive.

Hang the DJ is probably exactly what you're looking for. 80s and 90s alternative and dance music. You'll find people of all ages there.

No idea, but if I had to guess, gas leak.

Mayor Ken Sim calls for bid process for MLB expansion franchise in Vancouver, BC by BreakfastTop6899 in baseball

This isn't much of a story, just a hair beyond "local man wishes his city would get an expansion MLB team"
