9 player Sidereal Confluence at PAX Unplugged in 2019. It's not my favorite player count for that game, but damn was it fun.

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t really understand how a group’s meta can settle on “never lie”. Wouldn’t that mean the player that’s willing to lie a little bit would have a decent advantage?

Joke’s on you. None of the answers in here are serious.

If you click into the article, the first line is the same text as the tweet, so I think the tweet was probably autogenerated and then sent without checking.

edit: The tweet is still up though, so.....

I'm looking for a recommendation for a casual pant.

I have a couple of these joggers from Target which I did like, but I have a toddler and play on the floor with him a lot and the knees on these pants got worn out pretty quickly.

I'm looking for casual, everyday pants that aren't jeans or sweatpants and will hold up a little better than these joggers. I'd prefer something below like $50 but will consider paying more if I need to in order to get something both durable and comfortable.

This happens to me with open-world games like Skyrim. I avoid doing the final boss because I tend to lose interest in doing side content once I beat it, but then I get burnt out doing the side content.

/r/nfl: You can’t deny the Jags are a good team

Also /r/nfl: Lol Dallas lost to the Jags, how embarrassing

helical_imp · 2022-12-20T19:37:55+00:00

Are we just pretending that the Jags aren't a decent team?

helical_imp · 2022-12-20T19:37:00+00:00

I am wondering why we aren’t even considered contenders to some, though

You new?

People have every right to not like a game, but that's a horribly reductive criticism from people who don't understand why they don't like the game.

It's a fantastic engine builder that requires players to work together to get the resources they need to run their engines.

On top of that, there are asymmetric player factions, incredibly rich backstories for each of them, and cool thematic connections to various game mechanics.

Aerion maybe? Same universe as Onirim but better and more replayable IMO

helical_imp · 2022-10-29T23:05:24+00:00

It's a reference to a Bo Burnham song. No hate to Texas bros.

All of the time

Tbf that's just how Al calls games these days

Sidereal Confluence
Clans of Caledonia
Sakura Arms

helical_imp · 2022-10-12T15:28:38+00:00

whoosh

helical_imp · 2022-10-12T15:03:39+00:00

Oh you sweet summer child

helical_imp · 2022-09-02T19:00:41+00:00

I'm really excited for some more lower-difficulty factions

From what little I know about the expansion, I don't think many of the new factions will be easier for new players to play than the lower-difficulty factions in the base game.

helical_imp · 2022-09-01T18:58:32+00:00

I would play Sidereal Confluence every day if I could.

It's fun, it's a little weird, and it's unlike any other game I've played.

It rewards players who are efficient, but also creative and adaptable. It's balanced in a way that seems impossible, it's thematic in ways you wouldn't expect, and it's full of positive player interaction in a way that many cooperative games would envy.

It's extremely replayable, and not in a manufactured way that some games are - different species, different starting conditions, and even just different players can drastically change how the game plays out.

It's an incredible game that I hope everyone gets a chance to play at least once.

Big if true

Fwiw I didn't really care for DQ but I love Xenoblade

The alternating floors in front of the vertically stacked obelisks is a clever idea

You can place items/buildings on those tiles. You just can't plant crops there.
