This headline is barely even about the article. The blurb provides enough context to know what the content is about atleast.

But apparently most links on social media don't even do that.

It's accidentally proving its point, much like that meme where the paper on the inaccessibility of science is being denied by a paywall.

He wouldn't do drugs, he's clearly just tasting the pocket sand. /s

I recognize your truth.

I just can't comprehend it. Even Mario Party has strategies to manipulate the RNG in your favor.

Bonus stars come from a set of categories, and it picks so many at random to award. But you can play to win as many categories as possible to maximize your chance at bonus stars.

The dice rolls are solvable, to minimize your chance of getting bad spaces. Sure you can't always avoid a bad space, but if space x ahead of you is bad, and you have dice that can't roll that number, pick those dice. Or if all your dice can roll that number, pick the one least likely to do so.

I've consistently been a 800-1100 level player since I first learned to play the game in 4th grade. Noone in my family cared about being good at chess, and as an adult I had other games I rather get good at.

And as a result I mostly play 800 elo and below family members and I'm happy to lose to any friends who are better. The amount of study and months of practice to catch up is unappealing, I just call them a giant fucking nerd and we go play melee.

But a 500 v 500 elo chessgame is mind boggling to me, they appear to have a tenious grip on the rules, and a fractured understanding of cause and effect.

Oh look, the obvious consequences of releasing a tool built on stolen work being used to steal other people's work.

To paraphrase Ultron

If you want them to go away, you have to do more than complain.

Agreed. Highly engaged voters voted for Democrats because Trump/MAGA threaten the very fabric of democracy.

We were the forest voting for the ax because thier opponent was a chainsaw in a toupee.

Trump's election seems/feels like reoccurring issue with short term memory, long term planning, critical thinking, and reading deficiencies amoung the American population.

Yes pretty much, except they ignored shoes.

I didn't even know it was happening and I hate all of you for informing me it happened at all.

We had a player who was obsessed with caltrops, and we gave him a magical object that let him turn any object that fit in his hand into a caltrop for 24 hrs. He could make like 50 caltrops a day. There were no real shenanigans to be had except he always turned money he was given into caltrops.

Red - Barony of Letnev

Pink - Titans of Ul

Yellow - Winnu

Green - Arborec

Round 1

I have a galaxy brain

My secret objective is have 4 cultural planets, there are 3 in my slice and several near to my slice, this will be fine. My slice starts with a red, blue, and yellow tech skips.

I snag warfare and construction. I took warfare to prevent Winnu from taking it, because if they get to mecatol first, they are very sticky there. I use construction to deploy mechs at the front. Sleeper tokens will take care of my PDS needs very quickly. I end up with 2 blue tech skips and a red tech skip. I score no points. I grab Psychoarchaeology, I have so many tech skips. I also have explored a gamma wormhole. Basically I qualify for every unit upgrade now that isn't a war sun, and I can grab Lightwave Deflectors at any moment I want.

Round 2

I make enemies with the Winnu

I snag Leadership and Imperial. I take Mecatol. I now also have a yellow tech skip. Technology is played and I take Saturn Engine II. I am now a terror upon the galaxy. I pop Imperial and catch up my missed objective and have 3 points. I score another point at the end of the round for my 4th point.

Round 3

I'm rich!

I get Construction and Technology, this is a very funny round. I use construction to put 2 PDS on mecatol. I use technology to get Hel Titan II. I deploy my capital ship at a system near home. I use the action card scuttle to trade my dreadnought and Captial ship in for 12 trade goods. Redeploy the Capital ship at Mecatol Rex. I draw another secret objective, it's have 8 production in one system, lol.

Score my third public objective, unlock my hero, I'm at 5 points.

Round 4

Everything is coming up milhouse

I take diplomacy and technology. I immediately unlock my hero and now am poised to score my secret objective, my home system has 9 production just from the spacedock.

Barony and the rest of the table are starting to rumble about me squatting at Mecatol. Barony sets a 7 ship fleet next to mecatol, but leaves his home system completely unguarded. I swoop in and steal it, he now is going to have to take at least 4 of those ships home if he wants his home system. I've completely killed his whole round. I double technology research for Self Assembly Routines and Duranium Armor, I'm concerned for my safety. Winnu have a warsun, arborec is a big Ole murder ball heading my way.

There's wheeling and dealing on the order of attack next round, I am unable to do much of value with diplomacy, I protect an empty system that just has some Sleeper tokens.

I score my secret objective for production and a public objective. I have 7 points. First 2 point objective is revealed, have structures on 5 non-home planets. (Gasp I already have that on the board, I am unsure anyone has noticed, and even they destroy up to 3 of then I can rebuild them quickly, I'm Titans of UL.)

Round 5

Spoiler alert, I give everyone combat blue balls.

I'm second in picking order, and I manage to snag Imperial. On the snaking order back, Diplomacy is still on the table and I take it because well, it let's me go second.

Winnu are up first, they pop leadership. They need the command tokens. I'm like sweating trying to keep my cool until it's my turn. Everyone does their tokens, I don't buy any, I already have so many. There's only 3 still in my reinforcements.

I get confirmation it's my turn, I pop Imperial and win the game. Everyone's mouth is agape, apparently noone noticed I already had PDS on 5 different planets.

Titans - 10

Arborec - 6

Winnu - 4

Barony - 4
