drewmaggard-deactivated20110827 asked: yeah but that sort of luck thing is still rare, and good playing can compensate
unlike risk where the luck can COMPLETELY undermine strategy
besides a lot of high level play is about trading and making the best of what you have, so the heart of the game isn't so much buying a monopoly as buying a lot of property and colluding with other people to get a monopoly...

drewmaggard-deactivated20110827 asked: having played 14 games coming in third EACH AND EVERY FUCKING TIME i do not entirely disagree with that
it is however a well designed game with an actually good anti-capitalist message (which is distorted these days but it's still there a bit) and one that does reward skill and knowledge more than it rewards luck. which is why it's possible to win consistently so often,...

drewmaggard-deactivated20110827 asked: it's not luck at all at higher levels of play
i mean yeah, sure, you're still dependent on dice rolls, but 14 games i've played with my brother and our friends and we only beat my brother once, and that was because we all refused to trade with him until he became bankrupted (and even then, it took a long time for that to happen)
also it was created...

Marelo: Seriously man fuck Monopoly.
HellaBro: it's not fun!
HellaBro: the only way to win is to watch your opponents slowly spiral into debt!
Marelo: Pretty much.
HellaBro: continuing to make financial decisions on dice rolls
Marelo: Jesus I had three houses on the yellow properties and every Goddamn time they came around they'd land on Waterworks in the middle of them. Meanwhile I'm landing on property with houses left and right when just one person landing on my shit would have saved me.
Marelo: And even if I was winning I'd just be doing the same thing to someone else.
Marelo: It's a really super shitty game.
Marelo: "Look at who will get lucky and watch the rest suffer!"
HellaBro: deed trading
HellaBro: my aunt once scammed my then 9 year old brother out of a green property in exchange for that starting property
Marelo: Wow.
Marelo: I always try to be fair really.
Marelo: And, I dunno, I know it's just a game but when you put a dollar sign on the score it feels shitty.
Marelo: It feels disrespectful to real people in that situation, having to mortgage their shit just to get by.
HellaBro: kinda trivializes everything, yeah
Monopoly is the worst game. It’s not even fun. Science fact.
So irritated right now.

Like, I’m really excited to actually make this thing but the problem is that I want to do it justice so I don’t want to start until I’m “ready”, but what that exactly entails is hard to say. This same thing has happened so many times before, where I have an inkling of an idea and then it blows…
What if this is just the exact way I feel about my ideas?
But one thing I’ve...

I’ve spent most of the day backing up my harddrive and reinstalling everything from scratch. College left me with a ridiculously cluttered computer, and I think getting a fresh start is a good idea since I can hopefully keep everything in check this time.
More important news though: I believe I…

The last time I checked on the John Dies at the End movie it was still in the “Maybe?!” stage.
Fast forward to now, and it’s in post.
Suddenly my life just got injected with even more excitement.
Let's play a round of "Is It Weird?"
Is it weird that after dwelling for a while on “chivalry” in modern culture I was struck so soundly with an idea for a story that I almost laughed in the middle of a room full of people?
Perhaps. And yet I forge ahead.

“What you got there?”
“Uh. A popsicle.”
“What flavor?”
“It’s. It’s strawberry. Well, technically it’s kiwi strawberry.”
“Looks refreshing.”
“Indy, I know it’s not the manliest treat in the world.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“I mean it’s pretty hot out so like—”

Personally I think it’s terrible because it’s poorly designed. The raw content could be the same between G+ and Facebook and I’d still prefer G+.
well yeah, it bugs out on me and freezes my browser 3/4 of the time so i tend not to stay on there more than 5 minutes at a time, but that’s a better complaint...

On the other hand I guess they might just be getting closer to approximating normal conversation between real people.

There are almost definitely both genetic and environmental factors at play in people’s sexuality and gender identification. Lots of studies have been done on this, and the general conclusion is, “It’s complicated, and there isn’t just one cause, but something is happening between all of these factors.”
Here’s a Wikipedia link for the...
