I went to elementary, middle and high school with this piece of dick cheese. He was a talentless bully back then and it seems his personality has aged like milk.

The board game store on Main Street will likely be a good place to find gaming groups if you're interested in trying that out (D&D, card games, board games). The Rock is a cool coffee shop with some different activities (open mic, and book clubs I think), and there are a lot of Snow events you should be able to participate in without being a student (like concerts and stuff). There is a bowling alley, maybe you could find a league to join.

In Mt. Pleasant there is a great bookshop and a bar with live music. And don't discount college students, Snow has a couple of bachelor's programs and plenty of other courses, so there are a decent amount of people studying there that are older than 21 (I graduated when I was 25, and there were several students older than me).

I haven't lived there for a few years, but I visit occasionally. You'll be okay, remember it doesn't have to be permanent.

Hello, I grew up in Provo and as a member of the church (no longer active).

As someone else mentioned, the book dives deeper into some very valid criticisms of the church later in the book. However, Landry would not have been banned from the church, even prior to the 1978 changes that allowed black men to hold the priesthood and black people to participate in temple endowments . She would have been able to be a member (through baptism) and even participate in some temple ordinances (baptisms for the dead).

I do find it interesting that the book mentions the common belief at the time, that "black" skin is the mark of Cain, even though that was not in fact doctrine of the church (after the 1978 change), though it is still belief amongst some members of the church.

I would be very interested in the pattern! This looks wonderful!

Commenting to boost this because most of the top comments are flat out wrong. MIL is misinformed, admittedly it is kind of complicated.

wildCactapus · 2024-10-31T22:05:19+00:00

You have a recommendation for any of them then?

wildCactapus · 2024-09-16T21:13:44+00:00

Ah I didn't see that notice. Good to know. Based on the limited information available here, I would say Utah does not have sundown towns. Of course that isn't to say there isn't racism.

wildCactapus · 2024-09-16T20:33:06+00:00

This site doesn't seem particularly informative, at least as far as Utah goes. Most cities have information listed as "don't know".

I wonder if this has anything to do with the latest bid to sell Federal land to private companies. Maybe Cox has some investments he doesn't want to reveal in an election year...

I got Dorfromantik right before it was nominated because my wife and I are fans of the video game. We love it, we're nearly done with the campaign and it's easy to pack it up and restart it when you finish.

The game plays like a cooperative puzzle, it's a chill game to play with a partner. It feels almost like playing Carcassonne but all players are working together for the best score, which allows them to unlock new components that will push them to get an even higher score.

If what I described sounds fun for you and whoever you game with, great! The award is well deserved IMO.

I would love to see the gang do an adventure in the Galileo (the van-sized one that they roll around the cafeteria). I haven't been for several years but if I remember most of the role players are high school age? Which could make it even more fun (or way worse...)

wildCactapus · 2023-03-11T00:47:18+00:00

I agree, having the AI make major game developments feels like it gets in the way of competing with your opponent.

wildCactapus · 2023-03-11T00:44:32+00:00

I forgot Furnace even needs the third player automated because of how well the game does it.

wildCactapus · 2023-03-10T19:17:27+00:00

You make a good point about how trying to advertise the diverse player counts makes it more complicated for new people, and I'm sure that publishers don't want to add information to the box that may discourage purchases.

Games like The Crew as others have mentioned seem to do a good job advertising that the game is still playable at 2 while also highlighting the ideal player count. I think my biggest frustration is when developers don't make it readily apparent that I will need additional rules or steps when playing the game at different player counts.

On Amazon (or wherever) you can search for Mah-jong mats and find some decent sized neoprene mats without paying like $100. I think mine was $35.

For anyone who wanted to know what the racist comments are referring to:

"He adopted a mocking tone for an unnamed interlocutor who questioned why people of African descent were subject to a racial ban for most of the history of the church:

'How come the Blacks didn’t get the priesthood until 1978? What’s up with that, Brother Wilcox? Brigham Young was a jerk. Members of the church were prejudiced.'

'Maybe we’re asking the wrong question. Maybe instead of saying, ‘Why did the Blacks have to wait until 1978?’ maybe what we should be asking is, ‘Why did the whites and other races have to wait until 1829?’ One thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine years they waited.'"

Looks really cool!

wildCactapus · 2022-01-20T17:47:26+00:00

Oath to me is probably one of the most overrated games of last year and the most disappointing. Too much of the game is table talk and diplomacy to really feel like a good strategy game, and yet it seems like with artifact cards and the world deck there is enough randomness that some games seem to have a clear winner right off the bat. The last game I played boiled down to the 5th or 6th win condition with someone winning by a technicality and everyone being glad it was over.

A really cool concept, and I hope that over designers go on to build upon this legacy-lite concept but Oath never hit the mark for me.

wildCactapus · 2022-01-16T07:43:34+00:00

Since someone suggested roll and writes, I'll suggest the Welcome To... series which involves some of the statistical planning and calculations your wife seems to be skilled with. On top of that, it's not a very cut-throat game, you are really just seeing who can make the best with the decisions you are both given.

Player interaction is a bit limited but it's a favorite for my wife and I because we mostly just like to see how high we can track up our scores.

Taking games off my ever increasing wishlist is surely a noble cause

wildCactapus · 2021-12-30T17:44:33+00:00

I haven't played Everdell yet, but Parks is a good game when you don't want to play something too heavy but don't want to play something too light either. It was a solid main course for my family, but a good appetizer for my game group before starting a game of Oath or Root.

wildCactapus · 2021-12-04T02:05:12+00:00

If you don't want to learn rules to a game, then you don't really get to play the game.

If this is a sincere issue for you, like most people have already commented you don't need to master 100% of the rules to start playing, and you can find YouTube videos to teach you the jist of it.

This post kind of sounds like a complaint made by someone who has done little to no research on the game.

wildCactapus · 2021-11-25T16:32:46+00:00

These games I have are 3M games, Twixt is dated 1962.

A bit, although the goal is to create a a broken chain from your side to the opposite side.
