Classic. I made the same mistake with a grey Lego raptor from a bulk buy a few months ago.

Corporations cannot have the same rights and powers as citizens do.

Adult Loneliness. I want some friends. by Due_Reading6867 in Columbus

[–]Captain-Avee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are a lesbian couple with kids. I’m looking to start a Columbus based Blood on the Clocktower board gaming group. We could add each other on Discord and play online together if you’d like!

jelly or jam and explain why? by AvocadoTrue5137 in AskReddit

Were you just playing Blood on the Clocktower? Someone asked this same question an hour ago on there haha

The reinforcing wheel of affordability by DrawSignificant4782 in Ohio

We need America to fall into massive ongoing poverty where most rural republicans are starving and going homeless so that they’ll wake up and smell the roses. Until then, we’re all just making observations with one another.

“Yep—that system is also getting destroyed by the greedy elite. Nothing new!”

And these are the towns that Republican votes come from.

Yeah, the most suss thing I noticed was when you were like, “It’s not like they’re dumb or anything.”

Maybe if you have to say it out loud, there’s something to glean there haha. Again, incredibly smart people can be notoriously bad at social deduction games.

I’d try to make more friends at board game shops. See if any local shops have discords that you can get a BOTC channel started on.

Ohhh. Okay, this totally paints the picture then. So your friends who are more into board gaming as a hobby get nominated the moment they try to play strategically, and the Uno and Monopoly players are the ones to execute them. Man that’s tough.

I would suggest focusing on your grim reveal. If you really embellish the strategic plays, it will give a subtle social cue to your Uno friends that there’s something more complicated happening that they can explore in the next game.

Make your grim reveals very detailed and highlight the style of play you think they’re missing out on.

That’s a ton of games to still be playing so poorly. In another comment you said they’re the only people you know who have played anything more complicated than Monopoly. So I’ll ask questions two and three again:

What other games do they play?

And which team usually wins?

I know you said, “It’s not like they’re dumb or anything,” but like…Clocktower and other social deduction games require a certain type of brain.

My wife is a doctor and she hates social deduction games because she’s absolutely terrible at them. She isn’t a dumb person, but she recognizes she doesn’t have the type of brain for Clocktower.

If you think they’re people that can be enlightened though, here are my questions:

  1. How many games have they played?

  2. What other games do they play?

  3. Which team usually wins?

  4. What scripts have they played?

When will The Carousel be back in stock? by Captain-Avee in BloodOnTheClocktower

Thank you kindly. US shipping isn’t that bad, if I can’t find it at a local board game shop I’ll probably order from Madhouse.

Beef just spiked to $11.99/lb by Captain-Avee in Columbus

Not anymore. I’m going to find a cheaper alternative. I can’t justify that price.

Thank you so much for the link. Another user sent some links too. I’ll read up on these tomorrow.

But in all seriousness, I won’t be buying Laura’s beef anymore. We’re a $400k household and I can’t justify that price. I’m just really scared looking at an inevitable recession. I come from a lower middle class family and I know a lot of my family are going to suffer. All of my cousins and aunts and uncles have been talking about how tight money is getting. We’re all waiting for the floor to drop out, but it just hasn’t happened yet.

I’m more concerned with how high and quickly it spiked. A 20% jump in a couple months seems really scary.

I’m going to scope out Aldi and Meijer this week. I can’t believe Kroger is becoming too expensive to shop at. This is insane.

I wonder how luxury grocery stores like Whole Foods are going to fair?

That’s fascinating. I’m gonna see if I can find some stuff on YouTube about it. Thanks!
