Though to be honest, settle lots of red dice was not what I found to be an overpowered strategy. It is good, but develop spam is stronger for sure.

Rutibex posted:All art is objectification, you can't talk to a statue and understand its soul, you are only supposed to appreciate the form. There is nothing wrong with liking the female form, and liking the female form in no way implies that a person does not respect womens minds. There is a logical disconnect in that reasoning. There's a difference between "this is bad and tasteless" and "we should literally have the government burn this bad and tasteless game and execute everyone involved in its creation".

I think the thing that makes me most angry is people who insist games should have mostly male characters because "the hobby is mostly guys, and guys shouldn't have to ever play as a female character"

I think you guys get worked up by a bunch of stuff that doesn't really matter in the long run and no one is forcing you to participate in. I'm sure there are a few cases, but I can't remember reading a post in this thread even discussing one of these games besides someone linking a kickstarter stating how horrible it is. Plenty of games without titties for everyone to enjoy.

I get to choose what I spend money on, and I'm not spending money on Epic. I explained why. How is that regulation again??? The market determines a product's sales and profitability. If you put out stuff that a lot of your demographic finds distasteful, no matter what that is, you will not sell as much. This has been known since what the 1100's when formal markets first came into being??

I don't know why suckers overpay for titty minis. I just use sculpting putty to add titties to all my miniatures/meeples. The downside is my Agricola worker discs don't stack nicely anymore.

Boardgamergate, brought to you by Rutibex.  Speaking of Roll, my group has long thought that produce/consume was already the strongest strategy if no one is rushing a bunch of colonize/develope. Maybe it's just the way we've been playing.

Definitely like to see more beefcake to go with the cheesecake (cheeseburger cake?), and cake in general should be a secondary option as opposed to the default. Also, the schadenfreude of watching Rutibex's fall from ironic grace lately has been exquisite.

Steampunk Rally is a good example of a game with decent representation in it. There's like 5 women characters, two black characters and a Japanese one - and it's historically based (ish. It's steampunk.) It would have been very easy for that game to go in the direction of some other major historically-oriented board games (cough cough Through the Ages) and make history the white man's world.

I just don't see why sexy pictures of women is degrading to anyone. Its so bizarre, if a woman decides to dress sexy then it is empowering, but if men decide that they like looking at sexy women it is degrading. It's also super hosed up to be telling artists what they should and should not be creating, this is supposed to be a society of free expression.

Rutibex said something stupid once about racial equality or political correctness or some poo poo, so I jokingly PMed him a link to an article from a sociological journal about privilege, institutional social prestige, and cultures of power. He responded by saying "I believe that some cultures are in fact better than others," and "dominant cultures are that way for a reason and if people don't like the way their culture is portrayed they should change their self identity."  e: basically nerds are terrible.

Are any of the deals on the FFG website that great? There's a lot of big box games for only 10 bucks, and I was thinking of blindly purchasing some of them.

I bought Nexus Ops on sale last year, but I've since gotten rid of it. Hasn't aged very well and I'd just about always rather play Kemet or Blood Rage.

Is that the one with a board made of hexes, dice combat, 6 kind of troops and that really encourages aggression? If so, I agree that Kemet does everything it does, and does it better.

If I want clever scoring and more involved card-play Blood Rage does a good job of that, while Kemet's basically the best tactical engine-build/punch-everyone dudes on a map I've found.

If I recall, it does the thing that I hate in Twilight Imperium, in that every unit type needs to have its own combat resolution/rolling phase. It slows combat down soooo much, especially compared to something like Kemet where it's just like, reveal card, add number, resolve consequences. It probably would have been a decent design when it came out, but it has definitely been obsoleted.
