In cases of imbalanced player skill set up a situation where you get to gang up on a common enemy, which is of course a CPU controlled Ganondorf with his level and handicap set to 9.

This guy isn't the only one. I dunno how many controllers I've made my buddy smash playing Mortal Kombat. Loses his poo poo when he loses at anything. Poker? 2 or 3 ipods smashed because of that. Hats torn in half. Self inflicted bruises. He just should stop engaging in any sort of competitive activity. Its gotten the way that when we are playing darts, people are trying to talk him down like a loving child. I only wish I had some of it on video cause that poo poo would be so viral. I was beating him at MK once, and he twisted the controller apart, got up, grabbed this child sized plastic patio chair and balled it up somehow, spit at the door. He cant help himself. He doesn't even know he is doing it once he gets mad.
Why do you still play games with him? Like, the first time you might assume he was just having a bad day, but by the third time there's a pretty clear pattern there.

I can't play board games that last more than an hour or two because you can figure out who's likely to win within the first hour I hate being there if I'm not on that list.
Even if you can't tell who's going to win, games that take that long are just tedious. Like Trivial Pursuit or Talisman.

Turtlicious posted:

When playing board games, it's assumed you're trying your hardest to win as quickly as possible, if you don't play that way the game breaks down and effects enjoyment of the games.
It's fine to not play your best if you're playing against someone who's not as good as you. If there's too much difference in skill then the game isn't fun, but the better player handicapping themself (either with an explicit rule or just by not taking every opportunity to gain an advantage) can allow any two players to have fun together.

The obvious example being playing games with children. You don't necessarily have to let them win every time, but you don't play your best because then neither of you will have a good time.

I always hated the dudes who got super competitive when sparring. I once knocked a guy down, he agreed we were done, and when I took off my gloves he punched me in the face when I was turning away from him. It made my nose slightly off-center. It was great though because those guys generally weren't allowed to participate anymore.

This is more of a comment rather than true social media but I saw it and since I couldn't find an "old people on the Internet" thread I'll post it here.

I was catching up on broad city and googled to see what the creators had to say about bleeping out every instance of the president's name in season 4 and found a random rear end Variety article. Anyway, "Michael" chimed in:

Broads ahoy! Nice work.

I am a serial watcher even tho I don’t understand half of what the hell you guys are talking about on the show. But but you’re so effin’ sexy,I don’t care. Hmm, does that make me a harasser? If so, I hope in a good way. And, anyways, at my age, “harasser” is a compliment. Oops, sorry! And drat it all to hel!l. Age is not an excuse anymore now that GHWB has tarnished it forever. From his effin’ wheelchair, no less..

Maybe can’t we have degrees for harassers. Where admiration for smart, not to say brilliant, women can also be referred to as sexy. I mean, Ilana, that outfit you wore a few episodes ago has left me (for better or worse) with a permanent h***d-on. Intellectually speaking. (At my age the distinction is redundant).

I think that an app to delete part of that PITWH’s (Pig in the White House) name is a step in the right direction. Now, if you can just manage to delete T**mp in ITS entirety, you will have done an even greater service to humanity. Or start calling him Drumpf, a name which is, to American ears anyway, ever so more descriptive of the PITWH

My fondest Battlestar Galactica memory is outing another player as a Cylon and talking the rest of the group into venting him out of the airlock. Which we did (to his protests of "I'm not a Cylon, you assholes! He is!") after which the guy turned out to have been human all along, I revealed myself as a Cylon, blew up the drive, sent a super crisis their way, and got called 'an absolute fucker' by everybody at the table after they lost. Laughs were had all around, because we're not terrible babies.

I keep meaning to pick up the game by Plaid Hat that's supposed to be BSG only it has a The Thing skin and apparently plays in under an hour.

We love playing BSG but between setup and gameplay it just takes forever

He was owned, but saying that no definition of woman is possible is an extremely post-modern thing to say. As with everything biological, there is a minority of people which are difficult to fit into the categories of men/women and have categories of their own, but let's not be disingenuous and pretend that there aren't definitions of man/woman that cover 99% of the cases.

Edit: literally 99%, only 0.3% of the American population identifies as non-binary according to recent surveys.
