]]> Comment on Let’s Stop Calling Games “Broken” So Easily by Shokhsanam Ganiyeva https://thethoughtfulgamer.com/2021/01/15/lets-stop-calling-games-broken-so-easily/#comment-1513 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 16:34:45 +0000 http://thethoughtfulgamer.com/?p=2830#comment-1513 Great perspective on how we throw around the word ‘broken’ too easily. Instead of dismissing something outright, analyzing the real impact on balance and gameplay depth is way more productive. I’ve seen similar debates in online casino games people claim certain slots or strategies are ‘rigged’ without fully understanding the mechanics. In games like Gates of Olympus, understanding volatility and RTP can change how you approach them.

The idea of FOO strategies reminds me a lot of how people approach slot games and casino strategies many casual players stick to simple, high-reward approaches, while experienced players look for deeper patterns. Speaking of strategy, I’ve been exploring different approaches to casino-style gaming, especially in Gates of Olympus.

You sell the cards you cant afford and/or dont want others to have. Often you can dominante green from the beginning.

]]> Comment on Board Game Criticism And The Future Of Board Games by Giulia https://thethoughtfulgamer.com/2017/05/09/board-game-criticism-future-board-games/#comment-1403 Fri, 13 Dec 2024 13:32:24 +0000 http://thethoughtfulgamer.com/?p=544#comment-1403 Video games are more mature than most board games, though, and many require a lot of imagination too. I prefer them to board games. Sure, they are nice and sometimes clever. However, how many board games display social commentary and interpretation of what it is seen. Not much, I’m afraid 🙂

I have been scammed by so many recovery companies, and I can tell, it’s almost not possible to recover stolen or crypto sent to the wrong address. It’s rare to find a legit recovery company without getting scammed believe it or not. I’m saying from experience and I can tell you, zattrecoverypro1ATgmailcomis reliable, not 100% but will never leave you stranded.
