I am more referring to late game when properties are largely bought and developed and the losing player is statistically more likely to have to pay more to opponents going around the board than they are to receive money from them. It becomes a stalling tactic to collect more money. UBIs are very important early game but barely relevant once the average hotel visit costs you 4+ of them
Admittedly it is also popular due to the free parking house rule that seemingly most everyone uses, but is not in fact an actual rule.
pushes up glasses
Typically people losing at monopoly actually prefer going to jail and sitting there since it is preferable to having to pay for hotels.
Not that it makes the analogy much less dark though

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
1·7 days agoI tried to play it like a normal RPG and remember just trying to walk around the neighborhood to find every random person I tried to talk to would just beat me up for getting close to them so I noped out of it

1·7 days agoI think most are carried by their modding communities at this point which can be so involved they fundamentally change every aspect of the game.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why aren't people harassing marketers?
4·8 days agoWhile I mostly agree, for many kinds of ads there isn’t a great way to correlate particular ads with efficacy, so there absolutely are as campaigns that the c suite is convinced are working that are just practically not at all.

Games@lemmy.world•Which year was the most stacked for game releases?English
21·11 days agoMaybe a hot take but I think this year has been one of the best for gaming in a long time. We got Claire obscur, kcd2, Hades 2, silksong so far

7·14 days agoSomeone’s opinions can absolutely make them a moron. I mean intelligence in general is largely defined by the scope and rationality of someone’s thoughts and opinions.
It seems like you are trying to make a point that having an opinion is not something we should be judging someone for. While people are entitled to opinions they are absolutely not entitled to freedom from judgement or consequence for those opinions.
I am curious if your take here would change at all if instead of this opinion their opinion was “insert race here doesn’t deserve to live” or “age is just a number and sex with any age of person is totally fine”
+1 for Bazzite, I did pretty much exactly the switch you are describing a couple months ago and tried mint first but didn’t love it for gaming (problems with my Nvidia card) but have had literally no issues whatsoever with Bazzite. It just works ™

Games@lemmy.world•"The King" (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon)English
2·16 days agoYeah I mean you are probably right. In my defense, though, without having spoilers, the game is emphatically NOT pro King Arthur and the main likeable factions are the ones I would describe as Irish

5·16 days agoI am having a great time. It’s janky, but fun. It is EXTREMELY nostalgic for early Skyrim in terms of its leveling mechanics, character development, sense of humor, and jank. Just swap the tone from Nordic to early Irish dark fantasy.

danciestlobster@lemmy.ziptoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Haven't these MFS been saying they won in a landslide have a mandate since January? Or am I just imagining things?
13·19 days agoAssuming you are posing this concern in good faith, the answer is it is a very real issue that has everything to do with the platforms presenting meme based/photo based information. Virtually all major social media outlets sku heavily right and promote right leaning content well above similar content on the left. Its not that the left doesn’t have this kind of content, it is that it isnt being shown as often by content providers.
If you find everything you are seeing is posts like the picture here, please recognize you may be a victim of propagandizing efforts and reconsider what platforms you explore.
Certainly here on lemmy, you can find many more short form/meme type messaging from the left/liberals than you can the right. It’s a notable exception to the general trend

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•[SOLVED] I will pay you $20 to set up modded skyrim for meEnglish
3·25 days agoWhat’s the timeline on this? I have played a bunch of modded Skyrim but just switched to Linux. That said I was about to build a mod list for myself, probably a lightish simonrim (basically vanilla +) setup with the good quest/new land mods if compatible. If that sounds like something you would also like I will just give you my mod list and load order when done.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?
4·1 month agoAdmittedly I only did the tutorial area and first town after before I lost interest. I did definitely have it pitched to me as a fully open world game which it really isn’t as I would define it. I have been told since that Arthur has a good arc and growth potential but…I guess it just took too long to get to that. It seemed to rely a bit on past game context too that I didn’t have

9·1 month agoWitcher 3, rdr3. I know they are popular games and all my friends who also like single player rpgs love them but I just can’t with the fixed personality main characters who act in ways that frustrate me. I mean last of us was good but that was more where the player character being forced to be a dick is the main plot point, instead of a thing we are meant to ignore.

4·1 month agoImma be honest here I grew up never really thinking much about it either way but now that I am reading this thread and about an apparent loss of sensitivity I’m wondering if I have been missing out my whole life.


Can it be shipped to me?
