it is intimidating to play boardgames with people are way more experienced/cerebral than you
you're sitting there like let's see, should i buy this green mana card
and shark is like i mean does it really matter, there are 14 remaining cards in the deck and 12 will provide you with the same combat power for the next turn
My boss' iPhone 6 plus started acting up, the home button wouldn't wake the phone after it had been sitting with the screen off for a while, youd have to hit the power button. It would wake the phone just fine if the screen had just been turned off though. So I Google and the first suggestion is update iOS. I check his version and... 8.4. Ok this'll be easy, update to 10.2.1.
An hour passes.
Everything comes back up just fine, phone works, but almost all of his contacts are missing. Google that, "known issue when updating iOS." Great. Ok, not a problem, iCloud has been turned on since he got the phone, because I set it up for him and made sure iCloud was turned on and set to back everything up. Check and make sure, yep, iCloud is still turned on, contacts are set to sync.
Except they haven't synced. Only about a dozen have. And he probably has 500+ contacts. Ok, still not a problem, he has an iTunes backup, it's over a month old but he'll deal. Restore the backup, set everything up, all the contacts are back.
And then they disappear. Why? Who knows! They get replaced with the dozen or so from his iCloud backup. Ok fine, log in to icloud.com, delete those contacts, list is empty. Restore from iTunes again. Skip putting in the Apple ID and iCloud password. Ignore the prompts. Contacts are back! Go into iCloud in settings. Turn all backups off. Put in the Apple ID.
All the contacts disappear again.
They get replaced with about half the previous list that was from iCloud, despite the fact iCloud shouldn't have any contacts saved in it at all.

One of my only fears with a tattoo is that it might one day get co-opted by a shitty group.
Like can you imagine getting a pepe frog or some shit like 10 years ago? Like you'd have to get it removed now, and that would be expensive and painful.
I used to not know much about tattoo removal, just that it could be done, and I was like "well, that sort of takes away the permanence aspect of it, if you don't like it later you can just get it removed."
Then I saw someone post about their experience on imgur and holy shit it looks like a nightmare.
It takes multiple rounds to actually remove it, and the first couple times you can get, like, pustules and scabs and shit on the affected area. It reminded me when I got that really bad sunburn on my shoulders. It was apparently incredibly painful.
So yeah, tattoos should definitely not be a decision made lightly.

So for horrifying Kickstarters, someone is doing yet D20 Book of Erotic Fantasy knockoff. And someone linked to some of the art for it. Which for a shitty knockoff wasn't bad. Till I noticed one of the hands was tilted funny and realized they pulled a Greg Land.

Also you are doomed by your refusal to play co-op games, because I am currently obsessed with a board game I just got and I'm basically playing it constantly with Cinders and Winky and Winky's friend Mike.
the legacy one?
Yep. It's like a semi-legacy.
The easiest way to describe it is that it's like a long D&D campaign without needing a DM, but frankly I think that undersells it. In addition to being just a really fun game, the components are really nice and also cleverly designed.
So far I don't really have anything bad to say about it.
visiblehowl that sounds fun, what game, sorry if this got asked or answered already I'm behind a few pages!
Gloomhaven. I kickstarted it two summers ago, and boy was it worth the wait.
That sounds like something I'd be into!
I really need to get a new job and move to Board Game Town, the town where the people I know who will play board games with me live. As is, I make regular visits to keep our Pandemic Legacy game going but that's not enough to satiate my needs.
When I was younger and getting into gun culture I joined a gun club, I learned how to make jerky, I had some venison with some guys, we went fishing once. Basically somehow I hung out 3 or 4 weekends with these guys and they seemed cool
And then the tattoos came out, and the views, and I realized I was hanging out with people who had no desire greater than either getting to shoot a bunch of "nwords for busting into my home" or killing a bunch of towel heads in the name of jesus
These guys fucking love Trump because they finally are validated, but in bringing their views to the surface they're basically wrecking familial and workplace relationships left and right, and in every case I personally know of they blame the cessation of those relationships on the other party

What's funny is that I got into comics in college when he was doing his run on Ultimate Marvel and I was like "wow this guy is fucking amazing as an artist, everything is so real!" and then like five years later I saw the website where it showed he traced everything, EVERY THING

So yeah, tattoos should definitely not be a decision made lightly.
yeah I think the typical way is to heat the ink in the skin with a laser so it like, explodes out the skin cells and gets absorbed into the body?
if you don't mind having a tattoo in general though, but just don't like this particular one, you can almost always do a coverup which is preferable imo

I dislike playing board games with people who study every aspect of a board game so that they can tell what people are doing when they do it.

Yeah, to be fair, this tattoo was massive (and was already a coverup for another tattoo), so it was probably 10x worse an experience than someone trying to remove a butterfly on their thigh or whatever.
Still it looked pretty heinous.

I get angry with some D&D friends sometimes because they'll spend like 40 minutes figuring out how to safely open a door and I'm usually a warrior or ranger and I'm just like "I can take the damage this isn't the tomb of fucking horrors just let me kick the door in assholes!"
Just because you burst out of the ocean in front of me and flap around doesn't mean I am kissing anything, even with the inspiring display of a burst of mist

When they go wrong they're impossible to troubleshoot since the user has no hooks or views into the system.

Yeah I had this problem too. I had to do some convoluted thing where I had to sync through my work MacBook in order to get it working properly. Live and learn I suppose. My GF is a mac person and I remember when I told her about it she said, well dont be an Apple nub then.
