I haven't played at my FLGS yet but I occasionally buy stuff. Since the prices tend to be significantly higher I either wait for sales or buy smaller games where the price difference is easier to swallow. I don't have it in me to pay MSRP or higher for expensive games. I think under $30 is my psychological threshold where I am willing to pay extra for the instant gratification.

I imagine I would be more willing to spend more if I was more involved with the community around the store.

Looks great! I used Twire in the past but this is a lot more polished and doesn't require using an account.

Is 5-6 the typical player count or is it usually 4 or less? A lot of games max out at 4 or play too slow with more. There are plenty of great games for 5-6 or more but its an important consideration.

For 5-6 my picks would be Challengers, 6 nimmt!, various roll & writes (Welcome To, Super Mega Lucky Box etc), 7 Wonders, It's a Wonderful World (might need expansion for 6), Sushi Go Party, Tiny Towns.

Games with fast turns or simultaneous play.

That's just a go-go 80s Reaganaut issuing a challenge.

There is a series of tabletop games called MicroMacro that are sort of the same idea with a similar art style if you are into that. You have to solve various mysteries by tracing sequences of events. Good fun either solo or with friends.

Ugh, that's a pretty insane default. Thanks for the heads-up.

As I am watching this video about the use of the Clojure programming language in TV sports production I was surprised to see a bunch of Heroes screens popping up starting at around 3:15. Apparently the initial use case for the tool was Dorm in 2016 (I think, based on the project starting date mentioned and the screenshots). The tool was used for the drafting screens (this was before tournament drafting was added in-game). It was then developed further and used in all kinds esports and TV sports events.

I had similar worries about the AMD driver stability before I switched from NV about 5 years ago. But my experience has been great even back then and things have only improved since.

One data point to consider is that Valve is shipping the Steam Deck with an AMD AMU and stability and compatibility is paramount for that use case.

I've been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.

Any naming convention is fine as long as it's meaningful to you. But it's a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.

What I see is an inexperienced developer who instead of systematically debugging the issue keeps trying random stuff hoping that it will somehow work.

Don't forget spite. The guy was always an asshole but when people finally started calling him out he got triggered and became a raging asshole. Now he thinks that he found his people but doesn't realize that they hate him too, they just find him useful for the moment.

If it looks interesting then make sure to check out the Forest of Shadows version too. It can be played either standalone or combined with the original. It adds a poison mechanic and some other relatively minor things. There is also a newer space themed game called One Deck Galaxy but I haven't played that one yet.

evfwd is a new tool for forwarding evdev input events from one Linux host to another, typically through an ssh connection.

The reason I am posting this here is that my initial motivation for creating the tool was gaming related: I wanted to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and gamepad on my Steam Deck.

The tool works by serializing /dev/input/... events on one hosts and then injecting them via /dev/uinput on another. You have to arrange the pipe between the two ends, typically using ssh:

evfwd /dev/input/somedevice | ssh somehost evfwd -s

See the readme for more details.

Sell me on Lorcana (self.lorcana)

I am familiar with TCG basics, dabbled in Magic, played many boardgames. I am curious about Lorcana but so far all I know about it is that it's a Disney themed TCG.

What makes the game intriguing to you? What are some unique aspects of it? Anything you don't like about it? How much do I have to be into the theme to enjoy it? How much would I have to spend to enjoy the game 2p with my partner?

 

According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
