Sleeving up a board game. I don't do this often. I used to play MT:G so am used to it, but this feels like it is taking forever.

In a couple of days they are making some big new Mage Knight announcement, and I am excited.

I might well take you up on that offer if I am that way.

Wonderful!

Its a hell of an experience reading it for the first time. Its amazing.

A couple of years back I read if on a winters night a traveller for the first time, and it was a wild ride. It was also my introduction to Calvino.

Now a couple of years later I am reading Cosmicomics for the first time. Also a wild ride.

Amazing!

Is it the original one, of the reprint from later?

Oh my. I have always wanted a copy of Space Hulk since forever. Lucky you living the dream.

All these years on amd, for me, nobody has managed to create a city builder as good as Sim City 2000.

All other city builders since have been far to convoluted and complex for me to enjoy, or too cartoonishly simple.

Sim City 2000 really hits a perfect sweet spot for me that will not be suprassed

All the spinners, all the time.

Dice are passé. Its all about spinners now.

Perfect analogy. 10/10.

Oh god yeah. It's funny how there is a whole sub hobby within board games for optimizing how you organize the bits in the box to make it faster to get to the table.

I can get Mage knight on the table in a couple of miutes. There is no saving Robinson Crusoe though.

Are you much of a solo boardgame person? It's the way I take most of my play at the moment.

No. Crumpets actually. Flower shaped ones, in fact.

What was the last boardgame you played?

What did I have for breakfast?

The two kids shows I wish there was a kid friendly RPG of:

Pirata and Capitano.
Super Happy Magic Forest.

Reading a book.
Drinking tea.
Dipping toast in hummus.

Today is a good morning.

Basic Land but make it actually nostalgic

It is the simplest things. Just melted one of the kids minds with this simple thing.

With Discord shooting itself in the foot, I've been in forums more and having a good time. I like that it's slower and discussions aren't taken out of context

papercult.club (ttrpg talk)
noescapevg.com/forum/ ( @noescapevg.com has a forum)

All I have left is Tallisker Skye, which I don't know will mix well with ginger actually.

I'll have to check because I finished a bottle of Balvenie last night.

Now I want an old fashioned but don't have bitters. I do however have ginger ale, so will be joining you in a ginger whiskey mix.

Am I the only one in the ttrpg, and board game, creator (ha, do I even count as one anymore) scene that does all my design work using pen and paper, only turning to a computer to type up a nearly finished thing?

I have gotten into dark chocolate, so that is the stage I am at in my life now.

It is really very good, and I keep hoping for something similar to pop up in XFCE one day.

I know cmd-q quits apps, and cmd-w closes the top window. I still just use q. Have done since about 2006 when the first Intel macs were released.

I don't need a Mac user to tell me I am doing it wrong. I know I am, and I will keep doing so.

When I swapped to a Mac years ago I got annoyed with the window close being on the other side so I started using command-q to close windows so I didn't have the mental load of moving the mouse wrong.

Now I have to shortcut alt-q on whatever Linux I am using to do the same or I forget to close them.

I have witnessed the guy next to me go through this exact process and it seems pretty frustrating.

We both agree though that the finders column view where you can just click through directories is the best a file explorer experience there has been.
