The top of a Wikipedia page for "List of games that Buddha would not play". "The Buddhist games list is a list of games that Gautama Buddha is reputed to have said that he would not play and that his disciples should likewise not play, because he believed them to be a 'cause for negligence'.[1] This list dates from the 6th or 5th century BC and is the earliest known list of games.[2] There is some debate about the translation of some of the games mentioned, and the list given here is based on the translation by T. W. Rhys Davids of the Brahmajāla Sutta and is in the same order given in the original.[3] The list is duplicated in a number of other early Buddhist texts, including the Vinaya Pitaka.[2][4]"
Another screenshot of Wikipedia, outlining said list. Games on boards with 8 or 10 rows. This is thought to refer to ashtapada and dasapada respectively; however, later Sinhala commentaries refer to these boards also being used with games involving dice.[2] The same games played on imaginary boards. Akasam astapadam was an ashtapada variant played with no board, literally "astapadam played in the sky". A correspondent in the American Chess Bulletin identifies this as likely the earliest literary mention of a blindfold chess variant.[5] Games of marking diagrams on the floor such that the player can only walk on certain places. This is described in the Vinaya Pitaka as "having drawn a circle with various lines on the ground, there they play avoiding the line to be avoided". Rhys Davids suggests that it may refer to parihāra-patham, a form of hop-scotch. Games where players either remove pieces from a pile or add pieces to it, with the loser being the one who causes the heap to shake (similar to the modern game pick-up sticks). Games of throwing dice. Dipping the hand with the fingers stretched out in lac, or red dye, or flour-water, and striking the wet hand on the ground or on a wall, calling out "What shall it be?" and showing the form required—elephants, horses, etc.. Ball games. Blowing through a pat-kulal, a toy pipe made of leaves. Ploughing with a toy plough. Playing with toy windmills made from palm leaves. Playing with toy measures made from palm leaves. Playing with toy carts. Playing with toy bows. Guessing at letters traced with the finger in the air or on a friend's back. (letters in the Brahmi script) Guessing a friend's thoughts. Imitating deformities.

Not only is the game good, but it's also gotten two really solid sequels. The most recent only came out a few years ago.
It's good stuff!!!

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
Get! Him! Some! Pants!
Thank you everyone again!

Ah, yes, an attempt to impeach an obviously corrupt leader will distract from their focus on... How bad corruption is.
Literal word salad, they don't actually give a shit about any of this
One of my favorite examples of this is Georgios getting into photography. It's just really cute in a very sentimental way
“What horrors must have been haunting the dev team that they didn’t do [x thing that seems obvious]? are they ok?”
I've seen ones in rare balls (found a Goodra in a love ball) and a few with marks, but a shiny??? Wow.
Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.

we really gotta repeal the hague invasion act
basically every law passed in the wake of 9/11 or connected to actions in iraq and afghanistan needs to go out the window and ideally every president has to stand trial at the hague the nanosecond their term is up
Congratulations on the launch!
And das my report from on da scene
Happy Easter everybody 🥚
In addition to sending folks to circle the Moon, NASA will be launching a telescope (the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope) later this year that has Hubble-quality images over a field of view that is ~100x bigger: 🧪 science.nasa.gov/mission/roma...

For a long while (idk if it's been patched) it was very difficult to actually race on one of the Real Tracks online, instead of the in-between courses where you only get one lap of the course at the end.
People needing to enter private lobbies to Race on Mario Kart Tracks didn't sit well with folks
This is so, so well-articulated.
moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!
That's still utterly baffling!
