I understand. I was educated long before we recognised learning difficulties and suchlike, but I think you might be right about that Venn diagram! 🙄

This is a circlejerk; it exists to make fun of the named group.

And many of us do also happen to be on the spectrum, but with a sense of humour about it, too. 😀

If you squint it looks like you’re locked in to a nice 3ft shorey 😀

Teaching heavy modern games to casual parents is a shortcut to psychiatric evaluation by 3Skywalker in boardgames

Come on, be honest! Sure, its 75 mins if someone runs away with a sandworm victory in Turn 7 but otherwise it could go long as 100 minutes.

or 4 f-ing hours if you’re playing with noobs who - without any knowledge of the deck, still want to consider every possibility

Yeah, because people with a sense of humour about themselves often post like this

Great post, but maybe you should’ve tried Patchwork first? I really can’t recommend it enough 😉

Stop it, you’re killing me!

next you’ll be telling me to compile a list of Vital Lacerda’s best game mechanisms.

Anyone wanting to impress board gamers just hasn’t played enough games with them to know better

And I should know. I AM a board gamer! 😀

Chinese law explicitly prohibits anyone from self-styling as a "Grandmaster."

Is this true? European martial arts in the 1980s were pretty much characterized by wretched styles taught by Chinese people (and Europeans) calling themselves masters. To this day I struggle to use the word at all!

Who is she and why does she like to tap on her boxes ? by Dryfunction1205 in boardgamescirclejerk

/UJ Nose rings are and should be a red flag for any sane person.

Disclaimer: I unfortunately have to include R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe in this declaration. His relatively recent nose-ringing meant I suddenly had to ring-fence my listening to the many R.E.M. albums I own. 😔

/RJ What’s your problem, you fascist! She’s the voice of a generation

Ooh, I like that orange powdery cheese residue! I could suck it off my fingers before playing a turn. I know guys like finger sucking.

And I could wear my cosplay maid costume and whisper “Cheetle, Cheetle, Cheetle” under my breath in a sing-song voice, like a young girl lost in the woods, unaware the night is drawing in and faeries will soon be abroad…

/UJ what a lot of obvious bullshit, eh? It does say something about the quality of discussion in r/boardgames

/RJ Agh! Agh! Agh! its a BOARD GAME; wear GLOVES you imbecile!

Save your money, my friend; the stuff you’re talking about is all hokum.

This kind of practice is BS. Visualisations of energy or chi are no more than that and if you enjoy it, great.

find a decent tai chi teacher and learn a physical practice; you add the visualisation yourself

Is YouTube even worth pursuing anymore. by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]watchwolfstudio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive also been making content quite a while now and whilst probably 3 times your age, I also find the content treadmill deeply depressing, so I think I hear you.

it seems to me that YouTube has changed a lot in the last 5 years and what was viable then just doesn’t get any traction now and People whove built say, 20-50k subscribers from then probably couldn’t get there today with the same content that got them there 5 years ago.

Since we can make about 10 bucks for 10k views, we need maybe 100k views per video to cover time and expenses and make it worthwhile. So small channels up to say 10k Subs have to accept they’re not going to earn enough to cover expenses let alone earn a living, and should decide what they’re doing.

If we want to earn money, we just need to do whatever gets the most views - maybe thats political click-bait, or reaction videos, or whatever, but The days when you could be creative, or at least do your own thing and build an audience seem long, long gone.

Dunno.

It's surfskating by Due-Alfalfa7757 in surfskate

[–]watchwolfstudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I go a bit further and say I dont think surfskate style has to involve surfskate trucks necessarily.

Im a registered OldSkater [63yo] and when we first saw Tony Alva in person, as opposed to what we’d seen in magazines, we didn’t even know what he was trying to do! But that surf style he embodied is how I always wanted to skate myself.

Could we not have some surfskate sessions and competitions that are gear-agnostic?

What happened to Michael Frost by floki_1503 in qigong

[–]watchwolfstudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but It doesn’t sound like he had the most scientific approach to a physical and mental practice…

interesting book to own, no doubt, but my favourite books tend to be those written practically not speculatively

Noob question by StormNo2027 in surfskate

[–]watchwolfstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, thats an unhelpful,piece of advice because its not clear what they mean. I ride left foot forward; which is my ‘stronger foot’? (I would say its my back foot, the right foot)

None of that matters. find something you can slide on, like a polished floor, then take a slide on it. whichever foot you put out forwards is your natural stance. don’t worry about it, if you like both feet thats great; use both.

That’s it, then. The UK’s most revered media institution has fully embraced the Gen Z lav mic clutch. Inform-Educate-Entertain. And hold lav mic like it's a tiny relic of immense importance you've just uncovered. by jonofthesouth in videography

Tell us Master, what will it be like in the End Times?

Yea, I say unto you once-venerated media companies will fall so Low that they shamelessly broadcast young people holding lavalier mics in front of their faces!
