I just learned who the first person on the list of honorary Harlem Globetrotters is and I feel compelled to let you find out

You will not guess who is #1 if you had a million tries

I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, but never gave it a go. I’ve heard the starter set is especially good as well!

I’ve found Free LEague Publishing’s products like that in general to be of very high quality.

The starter set was what I was eyeing.

I’ve now looked up its contents and I’m now convinced to buy it. It’s just so atmospheric, aesthetically, in addition to apparently being a good game.

I’m a little surprised you didn’t have it already, to be honest!

I have nobody to play it with!

Time to change that, then! Board game night, except you whip the starter set out :sunglasses:

I have nobody to organize board game nights with, either :frowning:

I currently live alone (my wife is just preparing to leave Russia) and I don’t think my coworkers would be interested.

Is there a local gamestore or community (that might be worth looking into in general in particular)? My own group’s made up of one friend I already had + a bunch of people we found through placing an ad in an online community for games in the country

No

Look, let’s close the subject, don’t make it worse.

I continue to lament the swing-y nature of hosts, invaders and multiplayer in Elden Ring.

Any open-world boss/miniboss should 100% target invaders too. They can already do accidental/splash damage, but they should legit target too.

Trying to fight a just-lagging-enough-to-dodgeroll-everything invader as a co-op while fighting a damn dragon? Yeah. No good.

Then you get some runs where you don’t even get invaded at all. So… go figure?

They might surprise you. I thought the same about mine, but then it turns out there’s a quiet contingent just aching to spend 2-4 hours in the evening once a week hanging out with a game as a social lubricant.

Ugh, Youtube randomly decided to null its algorithm it had for me. Is this enough for me to start using Youtube only logged in? No, I hate that, so I now have to train the algorithm all over again.

Love getting spammed with Russian content, just fantastic. :roll_eyes:

you’ve got that USSR algorithm fr fr

No, it’s just that for some insane reason Estonia equates to Russian language for Youtube. (It’s probably just the most common language in the region I guess, but it’s still very annoying + I lost my LGBTQ+ content algorithm).

aughghghghghghghghghgh

Support for languages (including translated interfaces) costs money
Esti small
Esti no give much money
Esti suffer

If you can find one you could just let a curated LGBTQ+ playlist run through while you’re doing other stuff.
