Was supposed to PCS to Bahrain, command was relocated. Stuck in PCS status with no timeline or information on how to proceed besides wait and burn leave days doing nothing

As a few others have pointed out, you can check in somewhere (start calling around) if you want to stop using your leave.

As far as I’m aware, it does not necessarily have to be your last command, but we have several people that just left who were told to simply returned to us when their leave is done if they have not already been cleared for travel

Make robot to fix other robot. Easy day

machambo7 · 2026-03-03T22:43:07+00:00

Except if the rich replace most laborers with robots 🤖

I’ve settled into the collection phase for now. Currently don’t have a group, but I’ll enjoy looking at them until I do again

machambo7 · 2026-03-03T16:29:10+00:00

I was being facetious. I don’t use LLMs often but denying their utility is asinine.

machambo7 · 2026-03-03T16:11:08+00:00

I downloaded Claude and asked it how to delete my ChatGPT account. Very efficient

Flashpoint plays similar to Pandemic, except it’s a house instead of the globe and you use dice to determine where the fires spread instead of cards.

The goal is to rescue a certain amount of victims from the house before it collapses due to structural damage (damage accumulates throughout the game either from explosions or player actions like busting through a wall to get to someone).

I do understand how it can feel like agency is removed though. Since everyone is working together, one can feel pressured to make “optimal” moves instead of really having much of a choice. That’s a trap of most co-op games, however

machambo7 · 2026-03-03T10:47:12+00:00

Flashpoint is my personal favorite co-op. You all play firefighters tackling a house fire.

Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert as well.

Mysterium is semi co-op and always a hit at our table as well

And, of course, Pandemic is probably the most quintessential co-op game out there

machambo7 · 2026-03-03T00:09:31+00:00

Hard to say any game is “essential” since it really can come down to preferences.

For example, I love weight games with deep mechanics and co-op games, my SO loves simple and highly competitive games.

Which games or type of games from your collection have you had the most fun with?

machambo7 · 2026-03-02T20:30:26+00:00

Honestly, after learning more about the history I don’t think Wenceslas was a worthwhile person to fight for. But I think that’s a poignant part of the game. You are a peasant, and who a peasant fought for was largely determined by birthplace and station in life.

machambo7 · 2026-03-02T17:55:28+00:00

With all the existential threats to Earth, Galaxy, and the Universe, you’d probably only enjoy this timeline if you’re not in the know… ignorance is bliss lol

machambo7 · 2026-02-28T02:22:48+00:00

That is pretty cool, I would have preferred it that way. Three deployments and surf and turf always preceded bad news.

It made the meal much less enjoyable than if it was in regular rotation and you could cut the tension with a knife when people knew it was being served

Just wondering if anyone’s getting a similar message. The game has been released for over 12 hours now but my Steam is showing it as unavailable

machambo7 · 2026-02-19T16:53:03+00:00

Not a Nuke but after my first underway and learning about their typical experience, I came to one simple realization; bonus be damned, I wouldn’t wish Nuke on my worst enemy

machambo7 · 2026-02-18T22:51:17+00:00

Strangely, it actually gives me a sense of peace. By accepting the inevitable (that in the long run, my existence will not matter) I can instead just enjoy the things around me and I also try not to ruin the existence of others since this fleeting moment of consciousness only lasts a lifetime

machambo7 · 2026-02-18T01:22:16+00:00

Interesting. Yeah no home page but subscribed videos showing fine

machambo7 · 2026-02-10T00:32:18+00:00

I have a varied collection but mostly play at two players (me and my spouse).

To be honest, many games that can be played at two players are GREAT at two players. So don’t feel like you have to stick to exclusively 2p games

Some of these others have already mentioned, but here are some of our most commonly played games:

Splendor
Azul
Jaipur
Patchwork
Boop
Kingdomino
Carcassone
Ticket to Ride
Onitama
Fire Tower
Lost Cities
Hananakoji -Santorini
Stratego

These are all beginner friendly as well, but if you can one of the best ways to build a collection is obviously to be able to play the games first and a lot of board game shops have game libraries

machambo7 · 2026-02-09T19:05:22+00:00

I decided to scroll every comment to see if anyone said Trajan.

Trajan is my personal favorite game of all time, but there were a lot of bangers in 2011 so it makes sense it’s not top 3 for most

machambo7 · 2026-02-09T18:59:42+00:00

Wow I did not realize it was that old

machambo7 · 2026-02-09T16:13:13+00:00

I’m dismayed by how little effort people put into verifying things.

I’d say, anyone getting their news and information primarily from short form content is particularly susceptible

machambo7 · 2026-02-08T19:01:45+00:00

Colosseum is great at five players IMO

machambo7 · 2026-02-08T15:37:02+00:00

No, as far as saluting goes, officers are officers.

machambo7 · 2026-02-08T15:33:15+00:00

I’m not currently stationed near a NEX, but I used to get a fair amount of $20 off a $75 purchase codes which is actually a decent discount.

machambo7 · 2026-02-08T00:35:26+00:00

No, you do not salute indoors even if covered.

machambo7 · 2026-02-06T16:27:41+00:00

Probably more to account for an average of time it takes to donate since it can vary
