And I took that personally.

I'd count it, but I am not much of a genre purist.
The score markers wrapped around the board strongly imply "Euro game", but I always thought they had a lot of overlap with war games.
Now I want to see someone make a wargame alignment chart where 40K and Risk are on opposite corners...

Very interested in seeing your lap times between Boost Snaking and just boosting as needed to maintain the Bulk Star's top speed

People said the same thing about the automation of manual work in the 1950s.

Lol still valid! I've been noticing a ton of new ideas and mixing from different styles of RPG since WotC's series of fiascos convinced a lot of players to look at and try other systems, so I'd be very interested to see someone break down how these systems are evolving in this new environment.

This is what I get on the internet to see. I'm very curious about where you draw the lines between generations and how you define them

For them? It will never be too much because it's never enough. Our suffering and our deaths are part of the cost benefit analysis, and not as a cost.
For us? I'm really hoping that the general public is getting close to as sick of this as I am.

I cannot recommend finding indie alternatives to all your favorite old games enough.
There are people who love those games just as much as you do and are making the sequels you always wanted, just go find them!

I mean Starbucks unionized a year or three back so anything's possible, but we're under a very similar kind of federal government.
We've seen large scale resistance nationwide so the possibility of a general strike exists, but I worry about how they'd choose to respond.

I think the developers see it as "if you can figure out how to take advantage of this terrain or item, your reward is a combat strategy that is easier than it should be for its power"
But that creates First Order Optimal Strategies at high levels of play, which feel like cheese

I thought this was about Smash Bros at first, it fits so well.
Others are right about resourceful strategies not being as deeply designed for, but I also think this problem is connected to a cultural association between resourcefulness and trickery/dishonesty.

Okay, so it's less about consequences and more the nature of the ruling, I get that.
Color identity is about the traits that are implied/encouraged for cards of certain colors, and the color pie defines how those traits are shared and divided. That seems like it supports your point.

If the improvement will be barely noticeable, wouldn't that mean the erosion would be barely noticeable too?
There are already some cards that lean on the walls of the color pie or break convention with color identities. What makes this a major departure?

I see what you're pointing at but don't get why, can you explain?
Commanders would have a much wider pool of cards available to them, but how will that impact the game?
Is it power creep, deck monotony, EDH feeling more like Modern?
Not critical, genuinely curious.

I'd prefer if they just went back to sprite work and did something kinda like HD2D, but getting some help would be huge.
Imagine if Camelot came out of JRPG retirement for a Pokemon game

ScVi was the only game that crashed my Switch. If I downloaded a free game off itch.io and it had performance issues like that, I could understand. I paid the same for ScVi as I did for Luigi's Mansion 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles.
I liked PLA, but I'm gonna wait for player reviews on PLZA.

I feel that! At least the fan base isn't split like Sonic.
I've been saying for over a decade that sales numbers have to TANK before they even consider any real change, but players start saying "the next game will be better" a week after a new one comes out. I just can't see it happening.

I think everything that's poorly made gets a bunch of bad suggestions on how to fix it. Recognizing bad design is intuitive, creating good design is an artform.
