@icheyne I’ve been using Debian since I built that desktop image ~13 years ago. My servers still are Debian. There’s a lot to like about it. in reply to icheyne #
@andsoerinsaid I’m thinking 6” transparent-plastic platform shoes. And flesh-painted weather-balloons for falsies. And a wig. Yeah, a wig. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid Now practicing my “Tee hee! This looks like a nice move. Tee hee!” <jiggle> <bounce> (drops bit on floor) (picks up bit) in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid A woman tried that at a group here. Bra-less Dolly Parton in a tube-top. She left after getting 0 bites. It was horrilarious. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@acetate3 Nod. My other problem was that I didn’t think the game worked across the whole random setup space. Some permutations are ~broken. in reply to acetate3 #
@andsoerinsaid I agree WRT LTtW. Severely under-developed. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@andsoerinsaid Merely kinda cute? I am dissappointed. in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@BrenoKummel For me 18Mex 5P>4P>3P. The game is too flat for small player counts. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@GamesOnTheBrain ItSotE/ISdK is good & remarkably hard to play well. in reply to GamesOnTheBrain #
@andsoerinsaid I ~think TreeFrog games are published as soon as something seems to hang together. Undeveloped. Unbaked. (Poss except Brass?) in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@BrenoKummel For me 1848 4P > 5P > 3P. Bipolar game here too: liked or disliked, & nobody in the middle. #18xx in reply to BrenoKummel #
@andsoerinsaid Ahh. That’s not a cute definition I would have ever thought of. Men are from… in reply to andsoerinsaid #
@jesnellm Fair call on Brass. I’ve been hoping that he’d do something ~equal to AoS, but I think I’ve given up now. in reply to jesnellm #
@ginn5j 18AL’s problem is flat market and flat cities: everything is same-value. Makes low-texture low-diffentiation games. #18xx #bggcon09 in reply to ginn5j #
@ginn5j I’ve written a fair bit about this area on BGG. 1889 is an excellent starting point, possibly none better. #18xx in reply to ginn5j #
@ginn5j Good +1 tier games (by alpha): 1830, 1846, 1848, 18EU, 18GL, 18Mex. +2: 1826, 1830 Coalfields, 1854, 1856, 1860. #18xx in reply to ginn5j #
@ginn5j Key player_count principle: #_companies_in_game mod #_players should never be zero. #18xx in reply to ginn5j #
@ginn5j Founded monthly now weekly #18xx group in Feb. Purpose: teaching. Many taught, some converts. Recommendations based on that. in reply to ginn5j #
OH: …one of those things with words & lots of pages. Book? Yeah, a book about the past ‘n stuff. History? Yeah, like… #heardatgamestore #
And people wonder why I don’t play at certain game stores. Really, they do. I don’t know why, but they do. He was serious.... #
