I was personally very unhappy with gloomhaven's decision to spread the content out so wide. I think they could have structured a much stronger game experience if they just focused on a core 10 to 20 modules versus the over 100 they have.

Not to say they couldn't include more modules, but when you're trying to progress a storyline it's really frustrating to have multiple sessions (most many hours long) in between you a plot development.

Not sure how many employees you had, but I'd say anywhere more than three or four it really helps to write something down so that you all can be sure you agree on it. Or I guess even if you don't agree on it, you know what it is.

The civil war is still taught as the "war as northern aggression" in a lot of schools

Can someone explain to me why the video results are so bad? Half the time I'm looking for YouTube and YouTube never shows up? Was this due to a lawsuit or something? Half the time it's some random website that has a 2minute video before two 30second ad rolls, never what I want.

Unfair analogy. The customer is paying for the product. It's complicated.

"[removed swiping] Made zero impact on the product. Swiping really is dead."

Couldn't agree less. Having used Hinge vs Tinder. It's a huge ergonomic difference.

What's the point in even dividing people between such silly categories? I understand the context within a metaphor but when the author starts saying things like, 'every successful team I have been on had a t-shaped person' , it just seems absurdly reductive.

I guess they are saying that there are other options. So for example if I asked you "what is your favorite ice cream flavor, vanilla or chocolate?" you might respond to me with "that's a false dichotomy, there are more than two ice cream flavors, my favorite is banana which you have not listed as an option". At least that is my understanding of the context.

Would've appreciated some books on this list if people still use those or YouTube tutorials would be great too!

Your point on the learning difficulties imposed by unity's obfuscation is very important.

I would certainly go with a givewell approved charity before donating my money to the government
