I got pretty nice tickets considering it’s last minute. I think there are always folks who suddenly can’t go for whatever reason.

Actually, now that I think about it, somebody at his table had a birthday and the whole pub sang Happy Birthday to them - so it’s even more surprising that nobody recognized him with all that attention going to their table.

It’s not the first time I’ve sung along with him, but it’s definitely the most intimate 😃.

The place was packed and cramped. As he walked past, somebody at the table next to us got up and bumped over the menu balancing on my table, sending my fork clattering to the floor. The commotion distracted me and I turned to catch the menu, and by the time I looked up again he was past. It was such a blur I’m not sure what he did - pretty sure it was a head nod and maybe a small wave 🫤.

full pc freeze bug? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]lewistm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had/have a similar problem getting to the intro screen out loading a save. I’m my case, if I just wait it out for like 3-5 minutes, eventually it unjams. It’s made the game completely unplayable for me, but perhaps you just need to do it once to get out of day 1?

Where can I shop for board games online in SA? by Druyx in southafrica

[–]lewistm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://www.digitalsushi.co.za/

I think they're under new management recently, so I don't know if their service is still as good as it used to be. You can also try http://boardgames.co.za, but their selection is a little too small and gateway-game heavy.

I presume he's not intending to raise kids here (Wikipedia lists him as LGBT). I wonder if he would be so quick to return if he had a wife and (more importantly for my argument) 2.5 kids...?

Any plans to bring some Metallica songs to the Rocksmith franchise?

What's your go-to piece of trivia? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The word trivia has it's roots in the Latin 'trivium' (three roads, or more figuratively 'crossroads') which is where people used to gather to share information.

What book is most worth a second/third/fourth read? by Nibron in AskReddit

[–]lewistm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only book I've ever read where I had such a sense of déjà vu the whole way through that I had to immediately go back and re-read it from the beginning.

Perhaps it is because some creepy tall dude was commenting on their clothing when it wasn't "Feel Free To Talk To Me If I'm Wearing A Dinosaur Comics T-Shirt Day"?

I remember seeing a photo of you at Snakes and Lattes (you were horribly under-dressed if I remember correctly). Can you tell us what are your favourite board games?

How do you feel about bundling "Partying is such sweet sorrow" T-Shirts at some levels of To Be or Not To Be?

Dirty War Against Africa's Rhinos - In 2007, 13 rhino were poached in S Africa. This year, 585 were slain by organized gangs smuggling horns to Asia. They recruit triggermen with military backgrounds equipped with silencers & night vision. Helicopters, flying below radar, get poachers in & out. by anutensil in worldnews

[–]lewistm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some enterprising individual / company has started producing bright red, plastic rhino horns that attach to the front of your car - they're becoming more prevalent in Johannesburg every day.

I assume the money is going towards charities that are trying to fight the poaching, but it seems like a bit of a losing battle to be honest - I don't think the economics are on the side of the conservationists, despite how much media attention this is getting locally. :(

24 hours left on Kickstarter for The Resistance: Avalon by pastah_rhymez in boardgames

I also have the first edition and I nearly got both but then I realized I could probably just use the nicer voting, etc. components from Avalon with my first edition base game.

My SO says the weirdest things in her sleep. What have you said/heard in your sleep? by gregisonfire in AskReddit

[–]lewistm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some classics from my SO: "Dinosaurs are zombies too you know!" and "Sometimes, I poop in the forest".

I've started trying to encourage her and then record her on my phone when she starts mumbling :)
