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
and i'm like o-oh yeah i uh, yes i knew that
*using calculator under table*
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.
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!"
That's different. There's this shadow hunter game someone in our group loves to play, but he knows literally everything about the game, so you can't use the special powers while he's around or he immediately will know what you are.
It's annoying.
But yeah I doubt shark is one of those types of people, I just hate playing with those types, it's boring.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
then i was playing deck building games with vh and i'm thinking out loud to myself like, hmmm do i want to use this 'draw from deck' card before or after i use this action
and vh is like, well how many of x-card do you have in your deck
and i'm like i have no fucking idea jesus christ do people keep track of that, am i retarded
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.
my wedding tattoo is a little brain that represents my neuroscientist ex-wife's passion for her work
I've thought of going into one of those clinics that removes gang-affiliation tattoos for free and telling them I used to be a member of the Brain Gang
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

you probably didn't grow up playing euchre or bridge or cribbage or whatever
just like anything else it's a learned/trained skill

Hey man, I have a terrible memory.
But in that particular case you can deduce how many you have in your deck because you can count how many are in the "buy" pile and how many are in your discard pile.

Only if everyone has memorized who and what all the powers correspond to. There's only like 1 person that has to reveal their identity and I think it's one of the hunters when they use their heal ability.

i'm just bitter because i haven't played euchre since i was a kid and lived in michigan and i'll meet people from michigan and they're like oh euchre right? and i'm like eeeehhhhhh i mean yes totally of course dontchaknow
also despite saying i suck (and i mostly do), i think i was at least getting the hang of most of the games i played when i visited chicago
except fucking coup
that goddamned game
in terms of like, not-monopoly, meaning 'indie' games... coup is the game i've played the most rounds of by far. i've probably played it a few dozen times with a few different groups. and i feel like i am absolutely no better at it than the first time i played

Like in my hometown there was a large community of "Odinists", who were white supremacist neo-pagans, and they had a celebration thing for Halloween
And that party got crashed by this other white supremacist group calling itself the Christian Reich
Which attracted the attention of a skinhead gang called the Werwolves (spelling intentional)
And all three groups had this big fucking go and the police got involved and it all came down to who was The Most Nazi
Like, I can understand this kind of thing. But even within their niche within a niche circles... like, for example, when that UKIP Nazi was punched out and nearly killed by a fellow UKIP Nazi. Like, why? You guys are supposedly the master race whom would live in perfect harmony if only the Others weren't around... yet you can't resist being violent towards other human beings for long enough to even stay in the company of other white people with more or less exactly the same political identity without murdering each other.
It's like a whole strain of people that defy conventional wisdom about social groups & how primates crave having a safe social circle above all else.
With Love and Courage

I tried to teach Bridge to porp and Landshark but I think I did a really bad job of it.
If I'd known we were going to become really good friends I'd have taught it the way my grandmother taught me: namely, forget the bidding at first and just play the game, then slowly add in bidding techniques over time.
Instead I tried to start with teaching bidding and dumped a bunch of stuff on them at once. I'm pretty sure I've soured @porp on Bridge forever.

Kitchener, ON
A town that used to be named Berlin, Ontario until suddenly cities named after German cities weren't politically popular in the 20th century.
So, y'know, pretty large German population. So much so that it was an appealing place for actual Nazi war criminals to hide out after the war.

1. Yes

porp and i used to go to a euchre meetup when we first moved to Chicago
in highschool everyone played euchre or sheepshead to pass the time on school trips or during study hall or whatever
i spent many nights home from break in college getting drunk and playing various euchre variant with porp and my two best bros from hs
Headphones it is!
We should get you a jar of baconaise.

A face that needs slapping.
ours was spades and hearts
until the one kid brought in the gamecube
then it was SSB
Probably smart business ever since it came out gamestop is lying to you about games being in stock so they can keep their numbers up.
