That's madness

That's how you find an assassin. Madness I say!
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

It's amazing how often in my life the solution seems to be fuck it have a beer.
I mean on one hand the warning signs of alcoholism.
On the other hand, works like a charm.
Also exercise can serve a similar function without destroying your life & body
I actually tend to do both.
But thank you for your concern.
Wasn't trying to be a dick. Background is I've spent a lot of my own time drinking away my life & body to suppress negative emotions. Recently discovering other coping tactics for myself. So coming from a place of solidarity and just trying to spread the good word.
I actually didn't think you were being a dick.
I was just trying to let you know that I'm not self-destructing, and actually thanking you for the advice.
It is good advice.

I've found the power efficiency of modern LEDs makes headlamps superior to flashlights for most use cases.

Ah, cool. I parsed "thank you for your concern" as "maybe be a little less presumptuous"—which, to be fair, I was being a bit.
Glad we cool.

You say that now but when the aliens come and you can't murder one by bashing it's stupid head in with a tactical flashlight and it makes your butt a test tube...
I was never into flashlights as a gun bro- that bit of the culture never hit me. But I recently bought a lil 25 dollar flashlight, easily small enough to throw in a hip pocket, and holy shit. This thing shits on the huge, bright yellow flashlights of my youth. It is eerily powerful.
No one told me flashlights were on roids trying to break home run records.
note also that i don't really know what period the neolithic (except it involves stone/rock) was but i looked for 'sunrise' or 'morning' or something to play off neo, didn't see anything. so figured stick + rock for neolithic weapons or tools, and berry because people used to eat that shit a lot i guess? if the guess requires some specific historical knowledge then i apologize senpai
it literally meant "new stone age" when the classification system was invented back in the 1800s. More recent usage is that "neolithic" cultures are those that have adopted some form of early agriculture (that includes domesticating animals in addition to or instead of plants). That occurred for the first time bout 10,000 years ago in the highlands of the middle east right as the last major glaciation was ending.

Tactical flashlights are really effective clubs actually
I can't think of any reason not to own one. Truthfully for real they are useful enough.
Eh, the new LED flashlights do a much better job of actually being a flashlight. They don't make great clubs but honestly sometimes I just need a much better flashlight.
An grid of words. Some are secretly assigned to reach team, a couple are ASSASSINS, the rest are neutral.
One person from each team gets to see what words are assigned to which team/assassins give clues to the rest of their team. You want to get your team to guess all of your words, not guess your opponents words, and definitely don't guess the assassin because you automatically lose.
However, the clue givers may only give clues in the form of a single word, followed by a number. So you look for that many words on the board that match the clue word.

There is a spymaster- since there are only three participants here (Simon, Simonwaifu, chat), Simon is acting as an impartial spymaster. When there are more than three players, each team will have a spymaster.
So the spymaster has access to a board that shows the play grid, with four possible tile results: point for blue, point for red, point for neither (white) and insta-loss (black).
The idea is for the spymaster to give a one word clue and a number. The number conveys how many tiles on the board I want you to associate with that clue. If the spymaster is giving clues to blue, obvs he'll try to give a clue (and a number of clues) that only work to give him points.
The spymaster has to be careful to not give a clue that the player will associate with an adverse tile (like red or insta-lose). The guessed has to be careful to choose the clues he's most confident about- because maybe the clue is imperfect and they have to take their best guess at picking all, say, three tiles that were suggested or only picking the one they're very certain of etc.
Also if you get all your guesses right for a turn, you can take an extra guess if you want (if early in the game this would be random, if later it might be worth if you remember missed guesses from either player earlier on).

Of course my version of beat the shit out of is distinctly Ludious. "I'll stop hitting you if you shit your pants."
Also as the spymaster, you have to consider whether one of the guessers on your team is an extremely overreaching, coked out maniac who treats ad lobbing like a calling.

Actually it was the dude who seems to go as Azuma every year.
Someone tried to jack his wallet while he was pulling money out of the ATM.
He straight beat the shit out of the dude before security threw him out.
This all seems like things you will see within the first couple of hours.
I hate to get so Texas here but if someone tries to steal your wallet "beat the shit out of" is reasonable.

Two teams, red and blue.
An grid of words. Some are secretly assigned to reach team, a couple are ASSASSINS, the rest are neutral.

it's called Codenames. I love it mostly because it's a good party game that isn't yet another fucking hidden role game.

Apparently that year at Sakura Con there were a lot of instances of people trying to pull the snatch-and-run on folk.
Unfortunately for this guy the Azuma cosplayer is a built dude who actually handles himself pretty well.
Plus that particular part of the convention center has a lot of security.
But still some blows were traded on both sides, I figure the thief thought he could fight his way out of there.
