| VintageGin 03/19/18 4:03:16 AM #401 | Bernie Bros was absolutely a propaganda term like "Obama boys" before it. Tony is correct on this. Also if I recall correctly, "PUMA" was coined by the people who it described. Bernie supporters were not calling themselves Bernie Bros. It definitely felt like part of the strategy in the Clinton camp was to paint Bernie supporters as a boys' club-- see the Gloria Steinem and Madeline Albright comments, for example. --- |

| VintageGin 03/17/18 4:47:56 AM #17 | I just played through this and beat it for the first time a few weeks ago. It didn't click with me at first either, but I definitely started getting much more into it toward the end. The gameplay really doesn't evolve much, and I have some real complaints about some gameplay elements, but I'd say it does get better. Probably not enough to overcome any fundamental dislike you feel toward the game though. --- |

| VintageGin 03/16/18 4:09:27 AM #90 | Yeah, I've only played Scythe once, but I ended up using combat to get two stars right at the end and come back with a win that no one was expecting. Other than that, the most valuable thing seemed to be chasing down encounter cards-- the ability to get a mech essentially from those seemed almost too good. --- |

Haven't had a look at the majority, but I do have to question the judging in some respects. Yeah, what the hell is this: Naila and Hrun, Fused (mythic rare) Although to be fair, the ETB effect you mentioned isn't the same as random discard-- it's quite different, in fact. --- |

JonThePenguin posted... Two collectibles can absolutely be the BEGINNING of one, particularly since it was also the first time they required a full set of collectibles to get to the true final boss and ending. Wait, you didn't need to get everything to get the true ending in DKC2? I thought you did. --- |

| VintageGin 03/09/18 3:30:34 PM #160 | Man, DKC was my least favorite of the trilogy. I feel like DKC2 and 3 have so many interesting levels and mechanics that going back and playing the first one just seems dull by comparison. --- |

| VintageGin 03/08/18 12:10:08 PM #1 | I didn't understand how it was like Zelda at first...then I got to the first dungeon, where I got the boomerang and used it and some bomb flowers to kill the boss. Which then rewarded me with the equivalent of a heart container. Pretty fun game so far, though. --- |

| VintageGin 02/28/18 10:51:16 PM #171 | I actually liked the split party dungeons in FF6. I think what's so good about FF6 is that there's a lot there. It's like the team had a lot of different ideas and they went with all of them. So you get wide variety of characters and scenarios, some of which are more thought out than others. --- |

| Topic | 401k question |
| VintageGin 02/27/18 10:33:44 PM #13 | I think the argument I've heard for not investing in a Roth 401k is that effective income after retirement is generally lower, and thus you'll usually fall into a lower tax bracket unless you have some moneymaking investments. Still, I guess I'll keep my current Roth contribution and maybe consider going back to 50:50 --- |

| Topic | 401k question |
| VintageGin 02/27/18 9:28:22 PM #1 | I figure someone here is probably knowledgeable enough about this. Does it make sense to put some percentage of my contribution into a Roth 401k? At some point I was splitting it 50/50 because I didn't care enough to figure this out, but it seems from what I've read that most people advise others to go either fully traditional with an optional Roth IRA, or mostly traditional with a very small percentage Roth 401k. Is a Roth 401k only worth it if I plan to have large amounts of income from investments after retirement? --- |
