at some point twitch will stop counting right
LoadingReadyRun: @lamina5432 really? doesn't seem like too long a game
SmithKurosaki: @lamina5432 Im curious how it compares to Earth
lamina5432: the placement takes longer then you would think and there are a lot of pieces
lamina5432: about 20 turns a player
kusinohki: if cascadia is the game I'm thinking of (dubious assumption), 2 games easy, outside chance of 3...

baltimore_667083: !box

lamina5432: depends on how fast they play streaming usually adds time
spinebustertee: Cascadia is a lovely game, and perfect for AFK.
e_bloc: do you ever think streams like AFK need something like VAR where chat steps in, pauses the stream for 5 minutes and debates on whether a rule is followed
lamina5432: it is very visual
Juliamon: e_bloc you lost me at "chat steps in"
Sarah_Serinde: ^
aerohydra: the stakes have never been lower
kusinohki: VAR??

Jobot180: No more vegan police!
KeytarCat: I would get a 5 Guys meal every few weeks bc it was on my way home from therapy
glitched_goddess: like in some religions that have food restrictions, they make exceptions if it’s between not eating and eating a forbidden food

Yoshi_Gal: I accidentally ended up going vegetarian when i moved out of home for the first time because I was too scared about cooking meat incorrectly

kusinohki: do we have "the bird player, the elk player, the fish player..." ??
e_bloc: @letsbelgo thank you I was hoping we could get the cheap joke together
KahtaLzargo: @kusinohki You build one island a tile at a time, to manage the prey population (rats, rabbits, and frogs), to feed enough prey (eagles and tigers) such that the dinosaurs have something to eat.
Kata_The_Cat: We need to start having location-specific fursonas now? I'm not prepared for this new meta.

KahtaLzargo:
@kusinohki Yup! Your memory is spot on

ghyllnox: Rat, free!
ArtDecoSunburn: Rats co-evolved with humans and agriculture/cities in an inverse of the way cats did.
Kata_The_Cat: People love skunks. Though... I don't know what you're implying with it.
kusinohki: there is no rat in ba-sing-say!
Strebenherz: PFFT
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Sometimes there are lemmings here, too.
KeytarCat: FLESHBAG
ghyllnox: Ah, a primate, very good
DeChunkandFriends: Thin and hairy, that's the only definition I've heard
kusinohki: "I'm not a furry, this was just the cheapest fur coat I can find" - almost sounds like a crap shot...
lamina5432: hakuna mattata
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn if we are speaking figuratively, there are a lot of lemmings in DC
Kata_The_Cat: There is a joke in the furry community that if you're going to a really fancy event, and they say to bring your most expensive suit...
ghyllnox: The LGBT community is inherently an alliance of different communities
KeytarCat: "The right finds the left insufferable. Imaging what it's like to LIVE THERE"
margieargie: "Go fish"
ghyllnox: @kat I've also seen this joke with a suit of armor
e_bloc: I'm not a furry, I just don't want to be recognized at ren fest
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc During shutdown weeks especially, unfortunately. There are fewer spines among the Democratic leadership than in the invertebrate wing of the Smithsonian.
ghyllnox: I'm not a furry, but they make really good art
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@e_bloc ....why not a plague mask
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig people might talk to me
Kata_The_Cat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Sounds like a bird furry to me.
LordZarano: @ghyllnox I have also seen this joke with kinkwear
Kata_The_Cat: There are furries at Ren Faire all the time. In fursuit.
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Not if you're ringing the plague bell too.
Juliamon: Dragon, Disney Robin Hood
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano Oh yeah, more people will talk to someone in a fur suit than in a full latex/rubber suit complete with gimp mask
e_bloc: I saw at least a dozen furriest at renn fest this year (MD)
BrowneePointz: Any. Beej I used to be part of the SCA. They are WAY more unhinged than Furries
e_bloc: *furries
Athelgar: animated Robin hood at a renfair would seem appropriate
omdorastrix: The whole star trek uniform ren fair thing
kusinohki: I thought dragons were scalies??
Juliamon: Scalies is a subgenre
Thefluffiestguineapig: SCA people get WAY nuttier than Ren Faire people honestly
Kata_The_Cat: @kusinohki Scalies are a subcategory of furries.
DrLigmaPhD: Some renaissance festivals are bordrline gayer than local pride events
ArtDecoSunburn: @BrowneePointz Aren't they having a big schism now about training for members?
fjordsword: see them all the time at Ren Faire
InconsiderateHat:
@BrowneePointz Plus there's a venn diagram there.

InconsiderateHat: I currently have tickets for medieval times, I've never been.
KeytarCat: I had a series of panic attacks at a Medieval Times!
taliesinskye: @e_bloc That is super cool!
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Lord Baltimore would be proud.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Really? The place I've seen the best jousting only uses rescue/retired horses retrained for jousting
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig respect for that
lamina5432: I think beej could pull a set of armor very well
HadesLeprechaun: @BrowneePointz The Bristol Ren Faire is extremely good, imo
margieargie:
@ArtDecoSunburn I mean, if you're going to accurately represent the middle ages there should be the occasional schism or two I suppose
e_bloc: hear me out, Maryland's renn fest is a 30 minute times from a medival times
Yoshi_Gal: Year before last the local ren fair didn't get their liquor licenses approved in time...the tavern had a very different vibe that year
e_bloc: *drive
ghyllnox:
DrLigmaPhD: We'll find Beej one of those truly absurd codpieces
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc It also means sometimes a horse just ends up not jousting that day and when I saw that I knew they were actual factual not just horse people but rescue people

Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc I won't go too in depth but horse people the best horse people will not make a horse go if it is panicking especially at a ridiculously high level of performance (see Olympic level riders who ride other people's horses to test their ability) and will just drop from an event if the horse is off. Good rescue people also won't push an animal because it might cause more damage
gnomebot1: ifish!
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig huh, I'll have to look into that for our faire...I feel like it should be documented somewhere
kusinohki: why is my brain thinking "someone said "trout a la trout" " at some point...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or scratch a class (one specific piece) to see if the horse can handle something at a different time or lower level
e_bloc: how the tables have terned
Smurfykins: So, maybe this is the stream to ask - Im trying to organize a game night again, how do you all recommend getting people excited to try games out of the ones they are used to especially people who dont usually game?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc I found out by asking the riders. Advertising that some people would think they are abusing the horses is my guess
Juliamon: kusinohki there's a Beej variant of Fish a la Fish
ArtDecoSunburn: @kusinohki Do you have to crumble the second trout for that recipe?
BrowneePointz: Start with shorter, quick easy to learn games @Smurfykins
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig fair, fair
KeytarCat: I'm occasionally reminded that my current initials are NT, when my best gender descriptor is "Autistic"
Juliamon: (which is also in the command, but hasn't come up yet today)
Smurfykins: Cascadia here seems lightweight, is it?
BrowneePointz: @KeytarCat NeuroTivergent

KeytarCat: @BrowneePointz NeuroTie event
e_bloc: one bottle?
Smurfykins: ill check those out sometime
Juliamon: KeytarCat NeuroTraumatized
Smurfykins: I bring like Flip 7 to social meetups
before_damage: Flip 7 is a smaller game Ben sold me on during AFK. Now my sister and cousins own their own copy.
Kata_The_Cat: I'm playing Twilight Imperium tomorrow. Nice casual game.
Smurfykins: yeah but im trying to work up, like if anyone knows Quacks would that be the next "level" ?
e_bloc: @Kata_The_Cat godspeed
LoadingReadyRun: @Kata_The_Cat Twilight Imperium, Flip 7 basically the same
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc At my local faire they go through rounds of testing before starting the training but people don't understand that about horses generally (even some horse people force by genetics regardless of the horse's predilections) and that at rescues sometimes an animal will get a job
MajorFrostbyte: The ol' domino problem for those that play. No matter which way to start, it always grows to the closest edge
Tiber727: Small games I recommend are Scout, Vaalbara, and Citadels.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LoadingReadyRun Similar to all MtG mechanics being kicker
Territan: The rare and elusive foxfish!
e_bloc: so long
before_damage: Flip 7 -> cartographers -> Wyrmspan -> profit
Kata_The_Cat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Some cards are modal cards, everything else is kicker.
KeytarCat: If you give a fish a handy...
BrowneePointz: Fishing...for....fishies....don't
lamina5432: I forget have they played azul on AFK?
kusinohki: @smurfykins it might be a case of rotating through new games and game they already know how to play. new games all the time sometimes overwhelm people *shrug*
Smurfykins: yeah maybe
Smurfykins: but they know monopoly and such ick
BrowneePointz: Thanks to this game and Kathleen I now have Fishing for Fishies playing on a loop in my head rn
e_bloc: ngl the steam version of this looks pretty good

Thefluffiestguineapig: @Kata_The_Cat Eh, maybe. I was kidding because I disagree with that assessment of mechanics
Gekyouryuu: I note that the player whose name starts with Be- is not the one I would expect on this show.
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: A little happy salmon trail
ArtDecoSunburn: @Smurfykins Is that a Chopin-themed came? Set collecting minor keys?
Juliamon: Gekyouryuu The other one is travelling

e_bloc: its been an hour, feel free to get up, stretch, cycle your pine cones
Juliamon: (soon)
Smurfykins: Um it was set collection with a sense of board presence/positioning
BrowneePointz: yea the other Be is about to visit Simu Liu's hometown
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Cycle your pine cones sounds like advice from Smokey the Bear's OCD older brother.
e_bloc: 2026 is defintely when things that happened 20 years ago actually happened 30 years ago
Smurfykins: self expression kathleen, always
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Distracting is what we do
BrowneePointz: I mean Pokemon debuted in Japan 30 years ago THIS MONTH
Smurfykins: Damn thanks pointz
Smurfykins: i just look at my Twitch age thats enough for me
KWardJenx: Too busy yelling, "fish," at the screen to type in advice
BrowneePointz: I think that's my first time in my entirely online someone has referred to me as Pointz instead of Brownie
BrowneePointz: entirety*
Smurfykins: do you prefer brownie?
kusinohki: watched the new muppet show earlier and just realized the original came out 50 years ago...
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc It still freaks me out we're a half century on from the Bicentennial. That's one-fourth the total time the Bicentennial marked.
KeytarCat: @Smurfykins Talisman might be what you're looking for? It's mostly a Go-Around-the-Board game, so it'
KeytarCat: s structurally like the monopoly style
Smurfykins: ye i remember talisman, do not have
BrowneePointz: @Smurfykins Yea I mostly go by Brownie. was just taken aback by Pointz like I'd missed a stair lol
KeytarCat:
And I've never played it!
Smurfykins: ok o7
Tiber727: I see my group is not the only one that calls pinecones acorns.

ArtDecoSunburn: @KeytarCat Go-around-the-board with the option to add other boards in concentric patterns.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Pinecorns sounds like something from Pokemon
KeytarCat: @ArtDecoSunburn Everyone understands fractals!
AugmentingPath:
margieargie: Their range has been slowly moving northward over the last few generations for some reason
BrowneePointz: I think my favorite thing is when they were doing that experiment in Domesticating Foxes they were becoming more Canine like, and the researchers couldn't tell if that was from natural pressures or subconscious selecting from People during breeding
Tiber727: @KeytarCat Acorns make for a better throwing weapon IMO.
ArtDecoSunburn: @KeytarCat Mandelbrot plays fantasy board games!
e_bloc: is there a word for an expression you use only when it is not true
HadesLeprechaun: "everything's fine" is what people say when everything is definitely fine
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Tiber727 Pinecones fall apart super easily
BrowneePointz: Sarcasm? @e_bloc
KeytarCat: The edible is kicking in and Cam is desperately repeating "everything's fine" and I'm def feeling *something* about it
e_bloc: @BrowneePointz interesting
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Which is why it's weird they are such a staple of grade school craft projects. They're messy!
ProcyonFlynn:
Helpful Rascal 
BrowneePointz: Robin Hood was a helpful rascal
KeytarCat: Oh hi, fluff!
Juliamon: ArtDecoSunburn So is glitter.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Glitter is also a staple and that's craft herpes
Juliamon: same hat Thefluffiestguineapig
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I always joked about "glitterlung" being a leading ailment of first graders.
BrowneePointz: hot take from a former Stage Actor: Sequins are worse than Glitter
KeytarCat: I'm a little upset they never taught us how to paint in grade school, just how to apply paint
Juliamon: sequins will fucking cut you

BrowneePointz: which was like a double suplex and I was honestly impressed

fjordsword: be surprised how often those couple extra points make the difference

LoadingReadyRun: @e_bloc the second game will be faster ™
ArtDecoSunburn: Does the winner of Cascadia get to decide if the capital of independent Cascadia would be Vancouver or Seattle?
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Yes!
e_bloc: @LoadingReadyRun I think that'll actually be true this time
LordZarano: @ArtDecoSunburn Vancouver isn't even the capital of BC
BrowneePointz: Vancouver isn't even the best Vancouver in Vancouver
e_bloc: the capitals of BC are the B and the C
PharaohBender27:
@BrowneePointz That just sounds like a riddle
ArtDecoSunburn: @LordZarano I know. But new nations tend to default to new capitals, and the West Coast independence types never seem to remember existing state/province capitals.
margieargie: @LordZarano To be fair, Seattle isn't the capital of Washington either

evil_h2o_elf: wouldn't mind scoring a bear tonight (heyo)
BrowneePointz: One Lonely Bear in the Corner? Way to call me out Matt!
BrowneePointz: *ba dum TSS*
Juliamon: !fish
LRRbot: Today's fish is Trout à la crème. Enjoy your meal.
ArtDecoSunburn: @LRRbot Ha!
Redbassist: Fish a la fish
BrowneePointz: fun fact, a group of Foxes is called a Skulk
e_bloc: just the fox, Cam
ArtDecoSunburn: @BrowneePointz Hence the connection to Reynard and the stereotype of sneaky foxes.
BrowneePointz: @ArtDecoSunburn I think that might be a chicken/egg scenario
ArtDecoSunburn: @BrowneePointz Definitely. A fox/whatever you call vulpine young scenario.
fjordsword: you also get the points for the size of the corridor as well
ArtDecoSunburn: @fjordsword Corridor sizing. Where this game intersects with "Clue" and "Castles of King Ludwig" ?
fjordsword: Please add the points for the size of your biomes as well!!!
fjordsword: NOOOOO!!!!
PharaohBender27:
fjordsword: That is not the final scores
HorusFive:
e_bloc:
margieargie: Uhhhhhhhhh... one more?
BrowneePointz: but yea looking it up the original term is An Earth of Foxes
lamina5432: the biomes give one point per the greatest set you have
e_bloc: more content is my favorite type of content
BrowneePointz: and then Skulk being a lil newer than that, (by a couple centuries) and then a Leash of Foxes being the most recent(and unfortunately tied into fox hunting)
fjordsword: So like, Matt would have had 9 points just for his Forests, THEN the bonus 3 points for having the largest
LoadingReadyRun: oops! we will score that next time
ArtDecoSunburn: @BrowneePointz Fascinating. A burrow connection.
fjordsword: @ArtDecoSunburn I like this actually lol
fjordsword: I prefer Between Two Castles to the Actual Castle of MKL game
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Between Two Castles is certainly up there on my list of games I want to get next, especially given some of the dynamics of my family's board game sessions.
ArtDecoSunburn: @fjordsword I hear positive things. Thanks for the recommendation.
fjordsword: Between Two Castles is one of my favorite games period, let alone large group games ... it's a really fun puzzle, and the scoring forces you two work well with both your neighbors
fjordsword: *to
PharaohBender27: Oooh, upcoming Watch+Play!
e_bloc: and the number is 3
fjordsword: as long as you can draw a straight line, no matter how far
lamina5432: that hawk is one of my fav score cards
e_bloc: can i re-rack my elk
ArtDecoSunburn: "What does the fox score?" say all the board game Tik Tokers.

LoadingReadyRun: Hello raiding friends!
e_bloc: not sure but definitely fewer than you think
ArtDecoSunburn: @RavenHillbrookInc Things always go well when games are boarded by friendly raiders. (Rimshot)
RavenHillbrookInc: we've come for your cardboard and pictures of animals
e_bloc: my unpopular opinion is civ 7 is better than civ 6 because it has a maximum point at which the game must terminate
adept_nekomancer: In my experience, Civ 6 is a game of settling next to a volcano and then regretting that you settled next to a volcano.
RavenHillbrookInc: turn limit or an natural ending point?
ArtDecoSunburn: @RavenHillbrookInc (Raiding party staggers back to longship with chests of Pacific Northwest animal illustrations)
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc I never upgraded from Civ V. I'm stubborn. I like the Art Deco interface.
Juliamon:
ArtDecoSunburn I am shocked to hear that 
RavenHillbrookInc: @ArtDecoSunburn arggg we shall have the most arted walls in the 7 seas!
BrowneePointz: there's Ursus Arctos Arctos too
LordZarano: "A line of sight is a straight line from flat side to flat side of the hexagons, as pictured. A line of sight is only interrupted by the presence of another hawk" So lines of sight can go across multiple hexagons

ArtDecoSunburn: @Juliamon (Shrugs in Tamara de Lempicka)

InconsiderateHat: @Juliamon My go-to
Juliamon: it is wrensday my dudes
DrLigmaPhD: Gibbons are lesser apes and salty about iit
BrowneePointz: also a reminder that Bear doesn't even mean Bear. it means "That brown thing we don't mention"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Is it also Six day?
Cptasparagus: I'm not gonna count the list by hand but theres like 100 animals that are triple-tautonyms
Juliamon: InconsiderateHat My go-to is Boops boops
Thefluffiestguineapig: Magic joeks
RavenHillbrookInc: @ArtDecoSunburn you land lovers will never understand the power of main phase 2!
KeytarCat: @BrowneePointz But now, because of the nature of language and time, it's its own root!
Cptasparagus: Botany apparently does not allow triple tautonyms
Juliamon: (because of the iconic "Boops boops in a bucket")
ArtDecoSunburn: @RavenHillbrookInc (Sobs in disrupted cardboard tableau) "Curse the scourge of the Cascadian Main!"
LordZarano: Hawk card C even pictures a line of sight going across an empty void with no tile
ArtDecoSunburn: @LordZarano Even non wargame LRR plays devolve into line of sight measurements some Wednesdays.

RvLeshrac: "Watch without seeing" -The Bij of Beej
theambivalentagender: Theyre called voodoo dolls
ArtDecoSunburn: @theambivalentagender That makes me wonder. Is there a proper boardgame a bout voodoo dolls? Perhaps a worker placement about placing needles?
Juliamon: For cultural sensitivity reasons, I hope not
RavenHillbrookInc: @ArtDecoSunburn ey lads, one last treasure cruise and we can finally retire to a life of wine and riches
RvLeshrac: @ArtDecoSunburn Literally, "Voodoo Doll Game"
RvLeshrac: @RvLeshrac Though apparently Vudù comes with a little doll.
ArtDecoSunburn: @RavenHillbrookInc (Somewhere treasure hunters still seek a fabled horde of cardboard and tokens buried by the fabled Captain RavenHillbrookInc)
BrowneePointz: @ArtDecoSunburn Voodoo Dolls as depicted in Western Culture do NOT exist in actual Vodou/Vodun
RvLeshrac: At any rate, there are many vaguely "voodoo"-themed games.
ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac That sounds great.

RvLeshrac: Speaking of Humble, they have a physical board game bundle of some Garphill games.
ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun HumbleBundle secretly a cabal of assassins manipulating game celebrity death pools?
ArtDecoSunburn: Speaking of MicroProse connected, I've been replaying "Darklands" from 1992.
ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac Thanks for the tip.

Juliamon: thedepthandbreadthofseth Dunno, scoring's at the end

BrowneePointz: to be fair, Sun Tzu wrote that after a pretty reasonably long period of peace

Cptasparagus: did they do the "dont strangle your son" lesson?

ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth My favorite Pepsi trivia is how when they entered post-Soviet Russia in the early 1990s, due to an elaborate credit swap with the government, Pepsi briefly owned on paper a navy.
Cptasparagus:
@glitched_goddess I give my lab mice bupropion they can be in your crew!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @ArtDecoSunburn I mean, they literally did... I think it was mostly sold for scrap.
PharaohBender27:

ContingentCat: Whyyyyyy
Juliamon: !sir
LRRbot: IAN!
Strebenherz: Oh
macintose: Brother, eww to epison
Juliamon: nah lrrbot Ian wouldn't buy an epson
Strebenherz: Oh he bought an epson, god why
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I think that year Jane's got to rank them as the seventh-largest navy or somesuch. "The cola wars are over, boys -- Pepsi's got submarines!"
PharaohBender27: I don't even think of printers when I hear Epson - I think *scanners*
CaptainCoriale: printer tech support either takes 10 minutes or 2 hours, there is no in between
Tiber727: You know, I have an Epson printer as a Christmas present that I have yet to try using. Now I'm scared.
Juliamon: PharaohBender27 To be fair, printers nowadays tend to also be scanners
Strebenherz: Hey beej, throwing this out here, but it'd be interesting to see you go on show versions of your "I recommend you do this", like for your washer info, or printer info
e_bloc: getting old is almost as bad as the alternative
ArtDecoSunburn: @PharaohBender27 Hopefully the Canadian movie "Scanners" with exploding heads?
Cptasparagus: @Tiber727 you can use it a few times for sure. But then good luck refilling it
macintose: I bought my parents a Brother years ago. Still going strong
Cptasparagus: brother is peak
thedepthandbreadthofseth: So, is this game just funded by some PNW propaganda commission?
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth (Man in flannel shirt in Eugene, Oregon, steeples his fingers and grins)
Tiber727: Probably already too late to return if it comes to it. But my previous cheap HP wouldn't even load paper. It gave the most half-assed attempt and said no.
e_bloc: I'm pretty sure the first word processor I ever used to create dnd sheets was a brother
PharaohBender27: I have to deal with HP printers all the damn time at my work
BrowneePointz: Speaking of, I'd love to see Cameron GM an Age of Umbra mini campaign of Daggerheart. That Campaign Frame is 100% "Dark Souls the TTRPG but if the rules didn't suck"
macintose: lexmark now a part of xerox
Juliamon: Tiber727 Oh, an HP? You're probaby better off with the Epson
ArtDecoSunburn: I miss Big Blue. Heck, I miss Univac.
Cptasparagus: people put a LOT of effort into hacking printer cartridges
ContingentCat: I used to have a little only black HP laserjet that was great, I printed out my entire nanowrimo draft
LordZarano: "Lexmark International, Inc., a Xerox Company"
ArtDecoSunburn: Speaking of which, next week is the 80th anniversary of the ENIAC, the first electronic digital computer.

ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Douglas Englbart technically invented the mouse in 1968.
Tiber727: @Juliamon You know, I'm sorry for trying to go cheap on technology that has existed for decades now and should be pretty damn figured out by now.
Tiber727: I was told God invented the mouse 6,000 years ago.
lamina5432: someone needs to make an unbearable joke everytime a game plays with bears
Juliamon: yeah, the trick isn't to go cheap OR to go high-end, it's to go "whatever's a generation behind" because the bugs in that generation have been worked out
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Oh man. Remember cleaning the inside of your mouse? The compacted gunk with density of a neutron star...
Juliamon: thedepthandbreadthofseth Good news: you can still do that with trackballs!
Driosenth: fish a la creme
LoadingReadyRun: @thedepthandbreadthofseth no satisfying, though!
SkylerRingtail: Now I'm just imagining a TTRPG campaign: The Temple of the Water Bears.

SimGuy3k: though it was the FAA, so the expectations were high

Yoshi_Gal: But also its true, I've been Yoshi online long enough that there are definitely people irl now who only know me as Yoshi
KeytarCat: My current name is a college basketball game, by some weird coincidence
ArtDecoSunburn: @GrathXVI As someone in the government, we say it all the time.

lamina5432: This game really is parallel thinking because you can also start counting your opponents biomes
ArtDecoSunburn: @ContingentCat It involved an interlude with both out of town, with CJ as a drunken grandmother and Josh as an economist for a theocratic regime.
