| Glenn_and_Toad 01/07/20 2:52:25 PM #138 | TomNook posted... My issue with ONUW is how the total randomness undermines any sense of strategy. Not that a game needs strategy to be fun, but it feels like a game built on it, but a few players at random just have their shit ruined for no reason. Bing bing bing. Also, Secret Hitler in last place, this list is starting off well. I actually think I prefer it to The Resistance slightly, but man, these games bring out the tryhard rage in people. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket!

| Topic | In your opinion is your supervisor smarter than you? |
| Glenn_and_Toad 12/19/19 5:34:26 PM #13 | This is an interesting question so I'm going to go job-by-job and see what percentage yes and no end up at. 1st job (cafeteria dishwasher) Yes. 2nd job (retail associate) Yes, best manager I ever had. 3rd job standardized test instructor with three supervisors
Then we restructured and got an actual good manager, who gets a yes vote. Then we restructured again and I we had no manager for a few months. That was weird. 5th job (a different education company) 1. (Immediate boss) Yes. 2. (Boss's boss) No. She was the worst manager I've ever had by far. Constantly made everyone feel awful to cover for her own incompetence without providing constructive feedback. 6th job (customer service/tech support) Nos for both my customer service supervisor and tech support supervisor. My manager and most of the company were all so poorly organized. After three months, we hired a person (not a supervisor) from IBM with many years of experience who said it was insane we didn't have a defect tracker, and she coded up a really simple one with limited functionality so we could actually track the tech issues. She wanted us to get a much better one and recommended we change our entire approach, but she wasn't a manager and none of her ideas were listened to. She was the smarter than every manager we had (I was too, but not as smart as her. She doesn't count for the poll though though because she wasn't my supervisor.) Total: 5/11 yes, 6/11 no --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

| Topic | Magic the Gathering topic - SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME edition |
| Glenn_and_Toad 10/30/19 4:33:24 PM #214 | Commander started as a great idea: let's build a more casual-oriented format. Then people who wanted to win moved in and exploited the format in a way that showed it really isn't all that casual-oriented when people optimize it. But people still play it despite its flaws due to inertia. tl;dr Commander has problems and I'm just not interested in it at all. Theros leaks look cool. Nothing too crazy plus great flavor. That's a good combination. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |
| Topic | Magic the Gathering topic - SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME edition |
| Glenn_and_Toad 10/15/19 3:31:12 PM #132 | My take is that Fervent Champion is good in the all-knights deck because it has good enough value with the +1 trigger later on and there's nothing better to play as the red one-drop. Outside the dedicated knights deck, I just do not envision it being high-impact enough. Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to see proof of it being great outside the knights deck first. I think there are other better red one-drops for Cavalcade decks. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

| Topic | Best Michael Jackson song? |
| Glenn_and_Toad 09/26/19 11:47:36 AM #19 | Billie Jean, entirely because of the baseline, which is my personal favorite baseline of all time. The lyrics and the rest of the song range from passable to slightly above-average, but it doesn't matter because the bass is that good. 2nd place Smooth Criminal for being the best all-around MJ song. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket!

| Glenn_and_Toad 09/25/19 11:06:37 PM #115 | For everyone who believes is the TOP OPTION factor The top three options for today's poll are the bottom option, the second-to-bottom option, and the third-to-bottom option in that order. Top option theory DESTROYED I also wonder if we have ever had a 10+ entrant poll before in which the bottom three options had the highest vote totals, and I wonder if it's ever happened in that order. Seems fairly unlikely; I don't know if we have a good way to check and I don't think it's worth doing the legwork. I'm satisfied just calling "top option factor DESTROYED" and calling it a day. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

| Glenn_and_Toad 09/19/19 3:49:58 PM #349 | Nanahara715 posted... Kerryon Johnson for Sony Michel straight up? I don't know who you're giving or getting, so I'll just judge based on the sides. Kerryon Johnson for Sony Michel is close, but I'd rather have Sony Michel. The old adage "never trust a Pats running back" was true in the few years where the Patriots were one of the only teams to have a three-man RB committee, but now basically every team has at least two running backs except NYG and a few other select teams. That said, this trade is way closer than most trade ideas I see, and honestly within range of a personal preference, so I don't blame you one way or the other here. Kerryon Johnson & TY Hilton for Sony Michel / Keenan Allen Keenan Allen is significantly better than TY Hilton. Whichever team gets Michel and Allen wins this trade, and I don't think it's that close. TY is fine, but Allen is a likely top-10 WR, whereas TY is more of a top-20 WR, and the difference at RB isn't enough to make up for the difference between TY and Allen. You could flip which RB is on which side and my analysis would be the same. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

| Glenn_and_Toad 09/19/19 9:45:22 AM #188 | Good wrap-up I also think you'd enjoy mastering the ladder because it feels like there are more ways to get style points on the ladder. You wanted to do a one-foot bottle stand, but I think there are tons of different ways you can do a "challenge run" on the ladder, and I know you are someone who cares about style points. I do understand that it 100% requires you building a ladder to practice on AND you don't have the legacy of your dad so it's different in those two ways but yeah. Also IMO try some disguises that you take off after you win. There's a reason "It's me Austin" and "It was me, Dio" are memorable memes. Disguises are awesome. Just don't get your kneecaps broken by the carnival mafia. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

I'm going to rally for Skies of Arcadia by messaging all my friends on AIM and telling them to vote in the poll. Maybe this CONTROVERSIAL method of influencing the poll results will make everyone mad and people will call for the poll to be re-run to give Metroid Prime 1+2 a fair shake! --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket!

Not taking any keys because Spy Fox and Spy Fox 2 are the only ones I'd definitely play in my lifetime.

Also I think I remember playing Dominion online against you on Isotropic back in 2012 or whatever. You were a cool opponent. All I remember about the game is that I bought a Chancellor and somehow still won. I think I bought one just because you did a ranking of all the then-released Dominion cards in the game and you put Chancellor last. Man that is a bad card. Anyways, Pandemic, Splendor, Agricola, Carcasonne, and Tigris and Euphredes are available as well I think. --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket!
