I assume hobnail was using pill in the old timey sense of entertaining/funny/a little bit weird.
I've always been kind of mystified by the discussion and debate around Monopoly being a bad game, cuz like... that's sorta a feature, not a bug, and I assumed it went without saying?
The game is for children ages 8 and up, and children 8 and up are fuckin' horseshit at games. The game lets you Do Stuff, all while the results of the game are generally just determined by random luck. Which is shit gameplay for adults, but it's great when you need a game for kids to play, or to play with your kids, because now the stupid little pukes actually have a chance at competing.
Sure it's a terrible game for adult game night, but that's never been why its sold so many copies.
You can explain the rules in as little as 20 minutes!
also just, well, card games. go fish was always a big hit.
actually, I'd argue that I prefer War to Monopoly? It's 100% random, sure, but at least it's over relatively quickly.
War takes forever
Anyway, he's started doing a series called Ian's Customs where he talks about the particular weapons he owns and turns out they are they most slapped together hobo trash rifles I've ever seen and it makes me incredibly happy.
Compared to Monopoly, though? Those 26 flips are way faster.
He recently updated it.

He needs to have "Potential Threat Detected" during the alarm dangit
I suspect that was just for the vid, otherwise the alarm is useless, much like how you can skip most of MedSci if you already know the access code.
Now all they need is to get a few friends to hang out in there with worms sticking out of their chests and come running after the intruder while shouting, "kill me!"
definitely one of my favorite British comedians, didn't even know he was sick. really sucks...
cancer, unfortunately
I guess the signs have been there for a while - in some appearances on 8 out of 10 cats in 2017 he was bald and had a kind of patchy voice, which I have to assume was probably due to treatments.
We can only hope that his family honours his wishes, ''If I could have my ashes spread anywhere I wanted, I'd have them spread in Piers Morgan's eyes''.
The man commit
...I assume that we're not talking about the same game, then, because the War I'm used to is "split a deck in half, give one half to each player, have 'em flip the top card to see who has the highest number, once you're out of cards the person who won the most flips is the winner"
Zero player input, and arguably not even a game.
E: We're talking about almost the same game; War is commonly played until one player is totally out of cards, with winning cards put on the bottom of your deck. There is, in fact, decisionmaking involved.
You choose the order you return cards to your deck. You can follow simple algorithms to stack your deck favorably to win wars more often. You can also, in theory, count cards to know where opponents aces are (+/- a single card) and avoid putting high cards against them, but that's tedious
Also the other bit with whelks, when Jimmy makes him a generous offer (at 7.00 minutes):
Oh good to know! Thanks!
It's pretty much the exact cycle of dunking on visible people in online spaces (primarily women, POCs and queer people) we've been seeing intensify over the past few years.
