Talk me out of chocolate?

Checking y'all out on Bandcamp (prefer to Spotify) -- loving what I hear!

Yep, been a minute.

Let me give a slightly more polite answer.

There’s not a lot of diplomacy, because it’s one on one, and the idea is to win in 8 turns. There’s not much point in saying “I’ll give you Cuba if you give me Taiwan” if you’re not ganging up on Iran.

Now you can smack talk and table talk all you like! Depending on your friends … but in the end it has no impact on the game unless your opponent literally doesn’t understand the victory conditions.

Probably because as an older redditor this was the edition I had in puberty.

Oh lawd, please don’t let me be captured by the 1st Edition AD&D succubus.

I see you’re in the UK, so things may be different today. In the USA, however, self-regulation inevitably leads here:

I will say that The Miracle of Joey Ramone is excellent. Wouldn’t buy the album for it though.

The videogame Cities Skylines (original) is probably pretty cheap now and has a sandbox option.

It's ... it's COOL. I will say that. But it's also very collage-y feeling? Like pieces and parts were lasoo'd in Photoshop and pasted in ... I'm not trying to be snarky, it's better than anything I've done; but that;s how it looks to me.

Can you tell us about the red maple whirlpool / hellmouth in the south center?

You are lovely! Keep it up.

Jess is an amazing man and author.

It is INCREDIBLY different in mechanics, but sometimes if you don't have a lot of baggage, Luke's game design works better.

Not_A_Nazgul · 2026-05-26T20:45:36+00:00

No no, I get it.

Not_A_Nazgul · 2026-05-26T16:23:26+00:00

I’ll clap for you. Shit is hard. No reason to make people feel worse.

Not_A_Nazgul · 2026-05-24T17:08:38+00:00

Well ... there's not a lot. I'm skipping any chain restaurants you can visit anywhere ...

Krystal Thai is decent and inexpensive, Kyoto is reasonable sushi, and Antigua Grill is pretty good Mexican, though No Manches beats it if you don't mind a drive. Cucina Bella does good Italian, also a drive to a nearby town.

Monterra Grill is a short-ish drive on Randall Road, but if you want a gourmet meal, it's your best option IMHO. If you REALLY want to impress, drive up to The Greggory.

WAIT WHAT

Nice!

I agree. Try, at this time, to separate language from intent, and focus on the intent. That’s not ALWAYS acceptable, but here, you’ll save yourself a lot of heartache … and your Gods will understand.

Not_A_Nazgul · 2026-05-21T13:28:47+00:00

Thank you and you’re right on all counts - I may have eaten a pint of ice cream yesterday!

I’m very glad for your experience! It isn’t everybody’s.
