I did and I’m quite excited about it. I’ve played 5 or so runs in Tabletop Simulator with some friends and had a blast. It translates fairly well to the physical format. Plays differently than the video game but captures the same feel.

If you enjoyed the Martian, I highly recommend his newest book Project Hail Mary.

As many have said Viticulture is a staple of worker placement games. If you want something with a mix of mechanics with some worker placement, I’d recommend Everdell.

Looks awesome. Great work and I’m sure your kid will get plenty of fun out of it.

I’ve switched to Thunder recently and am really liking it. Not in the app store yet, but easy to install on Android from GitHub.

Thunder for Lemmy

Organic Supports! So excited that they are official. I’ve been using the beta for a while, but glad it’s officially released.

Bolted from the outside with no way to open from the inside? That is absolutely horrifying.

I love Spirit Island. Wide variety of options gives it near endless replay ability. The ability to widely adjust the difficulty also makes it great with a good variety of players. You can make it extremely hard for experienced players looking for a challenge or just as easily make it more casual for new players.

Second this one. I’m a fan of the video game so admittedly a bit biased, but I really enjoy the board game. Rules are a bit intricate being a dungeon crawler-ish game, but on the lighter side for that genre.

Great talk and I completely agree with him. Static typing has a lot of benefits but the old style use cases had a lot of extra overhead. As languages have matured, that overhead has come down a lot and so it’s not surprising that they have gained back traction recently.

Little Bobby Tables is all grown up.

Can you elaborate on what was wrong with your prints after installing? A properly configured 3DTouch will let you get an accurate bed mesh which will improve your prints, but only marginally if your bed is fairly flat to begin with. My guess would be something is off with your configuration, likely either a Z-Offset or a misconfigured mesh.

Historical Legacy is a good way to put it. For Pokemon in particular, RBY was the franchise for a lot of people, myself included. I’ve played a few of the others, but RBY is what came out when I was a kid and will always be the one I remember.

Your 4th point really hits on the main problem with all lists like this and that is that what is “best” is different for everyone. I agree with you that this puts too much weight on storytelling, but I know for some people story is by far the most important part of any game. For me, I rarely care about the story at all, I just want interesting mechanics.

Thanks for the great reviews! You definitely got me interested in a few I probably would have looked past previously.

With inflation causing rents to go through the roof, houses being bought to be rented is just going to increase even more. I’ve had several houses in my neighborhood sold in the last few months be bought and immediately have “Available for Lease” signs put out.

We need to have something done to de-incentivize the idea of real estate as an investment and treat it like the necessity it is.

It’ll be fixed in the next version of Lemmy. It’s a known issue.
