Game made you care about Clementine in a way no other game I've played before or since has. You have to put that down the damned fine writing, voice acting and visuals.

Yep, I remember the conversation about cutting her hair to keep her safe really vividly as one of those really poignant moments in the game.

Are you saying I should Charzge over the finish line using bots?

I want one of them silver you tube thingies.

Tonight's channel testing called off on account of a silly amount of rain hitting the region and a state of emergency being declared.

@bootstheory.bsky.social and I are fine. But it was also the wee ones first day of school, and picking her up in that was not a lot of fun.

Foxes and Lions is on P500! www.gmtgames.com/p-1229-foxes...

Someone in the party needs to say, right to Hipkins face, that Labour are leading DESPITE him being leader, not because of it.

Also free advice to NZ Labour, try deploying Greg O'Connor and Ginny Andersen on this one, I mean, if the strategy really is pitching to a mythical centre I just spotted a unicorn for ya

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

watched 12 Angry Men for the first time
absolutely unreal. truly one of the greatest movies ever made

I dig your intensity, no doubt. But yeah, that will always be there.

My cliche is that the finest praise a NZer can give something is "That's not bad" and the worst condemnation it can get is "That's not good".

Using purely stereotypes here, obviously.

Yes. It's not that Americans are loud, it's that you have no chill. Either way, positive or negative.

There is a whole lot of understatement in NZ culture that runs directly contra to US directness. To me, and many others I assume, it feels performative.

Like that scene in when harry met sally :)

Agricola in about 3 minutes YouTube video by 3 Minute Board Games

Today's video is a review of Agricola, and it is a throwback review. We are looking at an older edition so we will be talking just about what matters, the gameplay. Find out why a game nicknamed "misery farm" is actually pretty damned good.

I do what Adam does as well, for the same reasons

Oh come on, that's a classic mechanism that just doesnt work solo, lol

I lowkey loathe Fury of Dracula. First game i played Dracula got on a boat for 5 of the last 6 turns

Endeavor: Deep Sea by @grandgamersguild.bsky.social is an absolute masterpiece in the art of fun.

Exactly, the whole game is about a cat and mouse deduction. The only thing i can think of less suitable for a solo mode is charades.

Fury of dracula 5th ed cover. Has dracula on it, shockingly enough

I am an advocate for solo board gaming, but not every game needs a solo mode. Seeing people complain that Fury of Drcaula 5th edition won't have a solo mode and all i can think is

No shit it won't

There are so many games and so many solo modes these days, just get over the odd game not having one.

“‘Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination.’”

Holy shit, W Montana and Zooey Zephyr!!! ✨

If it can happen in Montana, it can happen everywhere across the US. KEEP PUSHING!!!

Logistical rolls in the US military are disproportionately staffed and lead by women and people of color, because white men used to be the only ones allowed in combat.

I can almost guarantee many of the “woke” officers this ass hole is firing are the ones who keep the supply lines up and running.

"it’s authenticity of actions matching words."

My goodness Labour needs to hear this. Remember how good Adern was in a crisis when she could talk from the heart, and how bad she was once the party machinery got their hooks into her and focus grouped her into mediocrity.

This, 1000 times this. Mamdani works because he presents Smashing the orphan grinding machine as a good and fun thing to do, not a dead rat we may be forced to eat stoically all while knowing the elites wont like us and we may not get knighthoods later because of it.

Hahaha, awesome, it always makes my day seeing people having fun with the game

And here we go again! Feedback was.. lets play again! @3mbg.bsky.social

Thank you, that's very interesting.

Oh yes, this crowd looks very much more professional. The onle i was look at was the "what if AI tech bros tried to remake this company"

They are already out of business it seems, lasted 18 months and shut down yesterday.

So i guess that answers that story.

Im curious about that other company now. I had no idea someone was doing this and actually making it work.

Seems kinda silly to me for a publisher to pay for that service. But clearly people are

Nope, not them. Don't know who that is. This is a newer company
