@gymceliphate @Clint_Davey1 So the counter to Vagabond is convincing the other factions to gang up on him?

@Clint_Davey1 Vagabond is annoying because if you take the time to whollop him, which you need to do, you set your own game plan back while the other factions continue to develop their boards. So no one wants to hit him, and then he wins.

In Root, the Vagabond is often a pain in the ass for the other players. They sneak around the map doing their little quests, maybe sniping a few birds or cats. Don't seem to be a threat, just based on looking on the board. But then they rack up points and win out of nowhere. This is because everyone ignores them. If you play Root as one of the conventional wargame-type factions, you need to see the Vagabond as a rival on the same level of every other faction. That means you have to spend actions attacking them. Hit them whenever you get the chance. You can't kill the little racoon but you can damage his items enough that he has to sit out in the forest for a while to recover. If you ignore the Vagabond, he will win. So smack him down. Everyone at the table needs to know this.

Can’t believe the Butlerian Jihad will start from regular-style jihad. Frank Herbert really did so much LSD it let him peer into the future.

No quicker way for me to go from “why are they making this?” to “I’m there day one” than the prospect of a villainous Cruise flooding Miami with cocaine.

berdoa semoga semua hobby bisa lepas dari kontaminasi gorengan influencers yang cuma mau ngeruk uang sebanyak-banyaknya dan matiin kesenangan komunitas yang sudah bertahun-tahun dibangun dengan susah payah.

- Shinzo Abe assassin got the unification church dissolved - Bryan Thompson assassination got Luigi a fan club - Charlie Kirk assassination scattered the right so hard half of them think Israel did it and immediately forgot the trans narrative 2020 is the decade of assassination

@Hawksbythesea @Clint_Davey1 You can use Tabletop Simulator to prototype your own game, you can use the workshop to look for pieces and models

@Clint_Davey1 I have a 10-year-old who loves to make up games. Especially using other games’ pieces. do you have any resources for children who are into game design? He made up this one tonight using some Star Wars cards & tokens from another game.

Just played Root with my game design class. It's the best way to teach them about asymmetry. You have 4 factions who are basically all playing a different game on the same board. The Vagabond is playing an RPG. The cats are playing an engine building euro. The birds are playing a wargame where you have to pre-program your turns. The Woodland Alliance are playing like the insurgents in a COIN game and spreading sympathy gradually before sparking revolts. Every time I play this with a group of students they love it. Really shows them what's possible with asymmetric wargame design.

Lah, Mardigu malah diundang sebagai “expert” ke istana. 🙃🙃 Makin jelaslah sudah ini matinya kepakaran di Indonesia. Pemerintahnya begini, warganya juga sukanya begini. 😶‍🌫️

@LavenderGhast Even the term "tourist" feels too nice for these people.

This recent stuff about just playing RE games is eye opening honestly, I didn't think it was this bad. Just how much of gaming discourse over the last decade was steered entirely by people who don't play games and just engage in fandom spaces? Hell how much discourse about anime too? has hobby discourse just been one big Platos cave? have our hobbies and video games been making adjustments and changes entirely based on people who have never gone near what they demand be changed and know actually very little about it. All because its disrupting their social hang out space and not actually out of any personal investment or knowledge of the thing itself.

Honestly it's making so much sense now. Why they show so much disregard for stuff like canon, lore, stories, characters, gameplay, the things the actual fans love and engage with, invest in because it genuinely means nothing to them. They have never gone anywhere near it, their entire connection is extremely externalized and entirely based on casually consuming fan fiction/art and ships, that's what they're fans of and the actual work just gets in the way and is inconvenient to it. It's only use is just using it as basically a hang out space. It doesn't really mean anything to them, your hobby is the equivalent of an empty room to use so why would they care about it changing or destroying anything established about it? It's like a gaming room where one side uses it for Warhammer and the other to hang out and gossip but they all technically get called the "Warhammer club" because they share the same room but then that side gets to decide how the other side actually plays Warhammer and gets input on their game and laughs at them for being nerds about action figures when they're bored, or annoyed the hobbyists are being too loud or enjoying themselves too much. Gaming, anime, Gundam, Warhammer discourse. It's all making so much more sense now. I honestly didn't get how any fans of something could seemingly care so little about that stuff and even mock other fans who do but it's worse than not caring, they've never actually even gone near it.

@isopie_ggp Being on the Keiba side feels like this

there's a side of the umamusume fandom that's too keiba and there's a side of the umamusume fandom that's not keiba enough tbh

@Raven__621 @ruinsofrauh Don't forget the "ableist" part as well

@ruinsofrauh Bruh it's all over xitter, some people think if you play games you're privileged asf 🗿

Gaming larpers exposing themselves these past few days answers so many questions as to why every popular fandom is turning to shit

@ruinsofrauh @Raven__621 It all started because people are realising the newer RE "fans" don't actually play the game at all

@Raven__621 what happened now

もうね、一生ついてイキます。 ありがとう

@strayberrywood @BurhanIrwandy @WisnuAl3 @cenbiu Ya orang kalahan gitu semua

@BurhanIrwandy @WisnuAl3 @cenbiu kok bisa ada manusia kayak gini yaa? biasanya kan manusia ga enakan kok ini seenaknya😭

Ada yg punya pengalaman kurang asik saat jadi turis domestik?

I saw someone ask, “Why do some old anime series insert a pointless transition in the middle of an episode?” It suddenly hit me that times have changed.
