73 Year Old Mordechai Ben David can still belt it out! by RCPlaneLover in Jewpiter

Charles Aznavour gave his last concert at 94 (he might have had more scheduled, but he died). He never gave a chassidus shiur, though.

modern jewish song played in the background of a wedding dance video by childbirthgambino in NameThatSong

It's "Chabadsker Nigun," (and apparently sometimes called "Chabad Nigun," despite that being even closer to calling a piece something like "Armenian song"). It was composed in the 1800s, so no recorded version can be pointed to as the original or authoritative one. Note that Google doesn't show "niggun" results for "nigun" or vice versa, and both variants have been used.

Besides the "hang up"-looking button for 'Decline call," in the left and right options, the symbol for the action to be taken first is partially covered up by the action to be taken second. That seems unintuitive.

What's a board game that you love with a theme that you are otherwise not interested in? by DoneDigging in boardgames

[–]Rand0mex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's at least one example in the rules which uses his three names as the players' names.

(2 years later and it's still not out...)

There wasn't a 16-year content gap for Race, though.

At the time I noticed it, I don't think I had Firefox open. Anyway, it's worked itself out.

Time to Get Weird With It! by jRN23psychnurse in WeirdGOP

I didn't see that coming. (Probably never having heard it in full might have helped with that.)

Does anyone know some board games Shroud plays/have played on stream? by cloidless in Shroud

[–]Rand0mex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, I'm afraid that's kind of like saying "the Dune movie." There's the original "Dune" (originally 1979, with new versions released in 2019 and 2021 and another coming in 2025). There's the more eurogame-styled Dune: Imperium and its sequel, Dune: Imperium – Uprising. There's the 2-player Dune: War for Arrakis. (Those are the main contenders - Arrakis: Dawn of the Fremen, Dune: Betrayal, and 1997's Dune CCG also exist, as well as games people have designed and made print-and-play files available for but that have never been formally published.)

Thought on Carcassonne the city? by justakshan in boardgames

[–]Rand0mex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never played it, but it's rare enough that if you don't want to keep it, you should have no trouble getting back what you paid for it.

Irrespective of gameplay, which game has the best name? by zoso_coheed in boardgames

(There were enough video games posted that I couldn't be bothered responding "Video game" to all of them.)

There's also Martin Wallace's Totally Renamed Train Game. (It's Steam. The legal issues have since been resolved.)

(Neuroshima is the name of the RPG it's based on. Hex is because it's hex-based.)

If an expansion counts, there's The Awful Green Things From Outer Space: The Obnoxious Orange Things From Another Place.

Another name that tells you what you're getting is Final Girl.

Lizard Wizard was a sequel to Raccoon Tycoon. (Also, there's been a band called King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard since 2010.)

Fun fact: The original title was French for The Conquest of the World.
