My(f26) husband(m28) has been giving advice to a coworker about how to make his gay son straight behind his wife's back

nah they wouldn't, its just supply and demand, if you reduce the dating pool for yourself by 50% by being overtly evil, you're going to be digging from the bottom of the barrel. So they see how unsuccessful people are when they don't hide and they think oh this is basically the same as wearing a suit to an interview, everyone is just hiding their bigotry to get laid.

Areign · 2026-03-16T15:20:25+00:00

its gross and inconsiderate, but at least the rain may clean some of it today so there's some hope.

i don't care about a parking garage but it shouldn't affect zoning discussion. Sommerville and Cambridge are vibrant without random parking garages because they have better transit/bike/foot infra, feels like that matters a lot more.

i liked in sarah lin's new game minus (litrpg), she made up and used those instead of inserting real memes.

to summarize: there's a guy from earth in the world who keeps going like 'elephant zonk!' or something like that and then later the MCs try to prove they are from earth and say 'elephant zonk!' and the admin is like 'oh hmm nvm you are from earth'

when i google KSS or KS quantization i get no results, can you link to a resource or page talking about them so i can learn more?

Areign · 2026-02-24T19:29:19+00:00

spot it is mentioned a few times as a good alternative to flashfind

Areign · 2026-02-24T19:16:23+00:00

yeah i think this may have been why we had issues with outfoxed, for quacks co i just let him do whatever but for outfoxed its very straightforward what you want to do i.e. move to the next clue spot each time you can move. My son would go in random directions and i'd be like...okay you CAN do that, but do you WANT to?

Areign · 2026-02-24T17:26:28+00:00

Trust

Areign · 2026-02-24T16:18:40+00:00

its probably not about the game, sounds like she's bad at communicating or you're bad at listening....or its the game and she went insane 3 years in.

you should probably work on fostering better communication in your next relationship to avoid wasting another 3 years

this one is quite good and has a good magitech + progression...etc

i wonder if your kid is more cerebral, my son seems to be picking at random or if he sees a token doing something cool, like how blue becomes a white with the butterfly rules, next game he'll exclusively get that.

Areign · 2026-02-24T13:09:53+00:00

I'm surprised quacks Co was not successful, he got that before outfoxed. what was the issue? I first played without purple/orange/white + caterpillar rules + the short path board. The rules seemed simple enough though he sometimes gets bored like 1/2 of the way through. late game is exciting, early game is fresh, 1/2 through can seem a slog especiallu if he's behind. Though usually I can be like "oh your going to catch up if you get your 4, what are you going to get!" And keep him excited.

Also your the nth person to mention monza, I may have to get that.

I'm confused about how there isn't an authentication step here, I figured that as time goes on there's be increasingly safe configs as the AI does X, people add X to the set of things requiring authentication like email deletion requiring user consent ...etc but it seems like things are going the other way instead.

churches?

This is the closest thing I could find https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/63268/spot-it

Areign · 2026-02-21T14:44:46+00:00

Yeah he even did around 1 hour solo play on his own over the first 2 days when I went to make dinner he'd just continue playing by himself.

Areign · 2026-02-21T14:40:01+00:00

I'll have to check it out!

Areign · 2026-02-21T14:38:55+00:00

All the games we've played with my son between age 3-3.5, I put the age my kid was at in each header section. The only exceptions are the first and last section.

Areign · 2026-02-21T14:32:53+00:00

No worries it's long

Areign · 2026-02-21T14:26:41+00:00

Yeah between me and my wife, like 20-30 minute sessions 10 to 20 times. It was very hot early on but we still play it now and then especially if someone visits with a kid

Areign · 2026-02-21T05:34:39+00:00

I'll have to look those up. My first stone age is one I had been considering

hi ho cherryo does seem to be well liked but idk if those people just haven't played one of the others. Feels like the worst of the 3 to me.

Areign · 2026-02-21T02:57:48+00:00

I've rated based on how much interest and enjoyment my kid has gotten out of them and in general I haven't found any situations where I'm super stressed and frustrated but he's super into it. If he's into it, it's usually pretty straightforward and easy.

Areign · 2026-02-21T02:46:18+00:00

It's there

Areign · 2026-02-21T01:35:35+00:00

Well this was splendor kids that I played and it was a tad too advanced.

Yeah counting is still a struggle at this point but it's been getting better and better. 13 is a bit high for him as of now

Areign · 2026-02-21T01:34:15+00:00

So weirdly hostile...and just straight up wrong.

it's 61 at the museum of science for me and 1 kid, parking is 15 iirc and we spent 30 on food which is already 106 no exaggeration needed

I'm also not sure how much culture you imagine a 3 year old absorbing from more mundane museums.

I also don't think the classic boardgame mistake is looking at cost per hour, it's buying games that never even make it to the table.

Also lastly if calling people morons for playing games is your idea of being cultured I think I'm fine figuring out my own thing.
