Not easily at the moment. I’ll probably come back and give you some answers if I remember.

I don’t, personally. I’m of the mindset that it’s interchangeable with the mainstream social media, and I use them the same way.

Even though things aren’t going as they should, I wouldn’t be likely to leave. I don’t agree with a lot of what’s happening here, but there’s no nation I know that supports more of my beliefs and lifestyle than the USA. Plus, my family, my friends, and my loved ones are all here. Leaving would mean losing them, and that’s totally unacceptable.

Warren Zevon - “Life’ll Kill Ya” & “My Ride’s Here”

My father’s death doesn’t hit me in my day-to-day life much. But there are moments it hits me. Dad and Warren weren’t close, exactly, but they were fellow-travelers and Dad worked the concerts at the Capital.

*Hustle.

Yes, but are you surprised at SJG not being the top RPG? The media push after GURPS Cyberpunk has faded fully. If they’d stuck with Fallout, maybe it could change.

I could name so many tabletop RPGs for this. Unfortunately, since Hasbro has dominated the space like a generational pile of elephant dung for over 2 decades now, and TSR actually did manage to make a few smart marketing decisions before Dragon Dice and the bankruptcy, I guess I can’t be too shocked.

So I guess I’ll go with a board game. Tsuro - The Game of the Path. It’s super-simple to learn and play, can be interesting for kids and adults alike, and it’s just a really solid, fun, game. There’s even an iOS version. I don’t understand why it’s a niche game instead of being front-and-center ahead of Monopoly or Clue(do). It’s not even prohibitively expensive, honestly - the wholly valid argument against Carcassonne and other niche games. There’s no good reason I can think of why Ticket to Ride is more popular than Tsuro.

Half of it is the sunk cost. Half of it is the Clans. Plus, MW2 and forward have had multiplayer Mercs modes with lance-vs-lance combats. Why would most people want to play on tabletop when that exists?

Admittedly, there is something satisfying about a Jenner with every jet in the world and a single PPC making a jump, cooling down in midair, and landing directly on top of an enemy and doing major structural damage before leaping away.

I think they realized that they won’t get the jurisdiction to bend on this one, and the general response from UK government will be “good riddance to bad rubbish”.

Better yet - each army’s player may nominate or provide not more than one cat, to be placed on the board according to Deep Strike rules.

Oh, the time might cause slower fielding play, but combined with the “ties are a mutual loss”, you’d have an ongoing scramble to get one over. It makes the whole game more defensive under the time limit.

Baseball: Strictly timed innings. Take the average time of innings in the last season or two, set that as the time. Inning ends when the time ends. I don’t care if it’s mid-play, I don’t care if the ball’s in the air. And no extra innings. Tie game at the end of the 9th inning counts as a mutual loss.

Warhammer 40K: If it’s on the table, play it. I don’t care if it’s a Battletech model, or a can of coke. It’s a model, it gets a move, shoot, and melee.

Also, “You wanna get nuts!? Let’s get nuts!”

Six feet above the covers!

HACK THE PLANET!

You broke your little ships.

Did you ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

Negative. I am a meat Popsicle.

It’s also available on Windows, and most other Linux distros.

It’s stable, Melroy is both a good dev and a good admin. The software basically fades into the background, which is ideal. There’s been ongoing development, but PeerTube still isn’t supported - and that’s the only negative I’ve got.
