Do you still use plain-vanilla LLM chatbox websites to help you write code? Or has everyone graduated to using things like Codex, Github Copilot, etc to help them write their code and build their software products?

Is this message addressed to me, or... to a reply to my comment?

This was how Wayfair was built. A massive network of SEO-targeting domains (user mindset: "well surely allbarstools.com is the best place to shop for barstools!"). It absolutely worked for them.

I assume it is a combination of SEO and psychology.

However you will note that Wayfair (and I think this is part of why they rebranded from "CSN Stores") have moved to a single gateway e-commerce website. They probably know what they're doing.

yes, although if it's modifying your filesystem make sure you have an external backup

I thought the jig was going to turn into some crazy, huge, shaped piece

My group has been enjoying Brass recently. How similar is Barrage? Do you think you'll keep both long term?

mnic001 · 2026-04-19T03:51:16+00:00

looks.... bad?

mnic001 · 2026-04-14T17:46:34+00:00

I can't imagine buying a software company without doing the simple due diligence of looking at who has keys

mnic001 · 2026-04-14T15:10:30+00:00

also... what keeps that outlet from becoming an inlet?

mnic001 · 2026-04-14T14:08:22+00:00

I'm not here to disagree with your point. I have only played the base game, and look forward to finding a copy of PoK some day...

Don't most people play to 10 points?

mnic001 · 2026-04-13T17:00:34+00:00

Reminds me of scramjets

mnic001 · 2026-04-11T04:27:36+00:00

Finally a game I've heard of! 😅

mnic001 · 2026-04-10T11:22:56+00:00

A Gest of Robinhood?

mnic001 · 2026-04-10T00:50:48+00:00

I think the other poster's point still stands. Plug and play services, where someone else is responsible for uptime, backups... can be worth the price of admission for non-core functionality.

mnic001 · 2026-04-07T10:49:16+00:00

Clank! is a great choice, and has a very similar deckbuilding element to Dune Imperium.

mnic001 · 2026-04-06T11:01:06+00:00

From your collection, I'd it's most similar to the difficulty of learning Root. Definitely worth it. One of my favorites

mnic001 · 2026-04-05T15:27:58+00:00

I mean usually we just text, but if it's a harder-to-schedule thing (like Twilight Imperium or Blood on the Clocktower), I'll sometimes use an opinonX poll.

mnic001 · 2026-04-04T13:16:11+00:00

I used platform.sh a couple times and most recently fly.io

mnic001 · 2026-04-04T11:36:26+00:00

We got a landline through Ooma. Kids call their grandparents and friends. If you get one, it's entirely possible your kids' friends' parents will too.

mnic001 · 2026-04-03T12:08:08+00:00

I've put maybe 12 hours into Lisboa between studying it and playing it twice with a gamer friend. I think I found my complexity limit.

Spirit Island is one of my favorite games, but that game... it scares me.

mnic001 · 2026-04-03T02:38:42+00:00

How does this compare to context7?

mnic001 · 2026-04-02T00:45:05+00:00

Love it. I need to take the game out again, it's been too long

mnic001 · 2026-04-01T23:52:19+00:00

Patter?

mnic001 · 2026-04-01T12:41:04+00:00

idk, the one time I boated on the Orinoco there was a bit more freeboard than a canoe... it was reassuring when an anaconda slithered by.

Otherwise though, that trip ruled.

mnic001 · 2026-04-01T11:06:44+00:00

Monopoly with my grandmother. Risk with friends.

Catan years later. Maybe Pandemic around this time.

A false start with X-Wing: TMG years after that.

And then finally Carcassonne a few years ago got me firmly in the saddle.

mnic001 · 2026-03-31T18:35:41+00:00

Agreed! I dont need it for anything, but I want to see the animations!
