  1. The people pushing that stuff, it's fun to ask them why the Epstein files aren't being released.
  2. Are we and/or the Middle East/Africa/North Sea able to meet their demand?
  3. The problem is he still doesn’t understand what tariffs are, or he put that requirement in there to sabotage this and keep it from ever happening.
  4. But the boomers will believe it if it’s on Facebook.
  5. I’ve thought about this over the summer. I somewhat doubt it because I think too many people have been exposed to too many awesome games to want to go back to the shitty games many of us grew up with. However, I think we will see a reduction in new offerings going forward, because there’s just so many options available now. There is a bit of a feeling like when the video game market crashed in the 80s where there were too many games produced, and while there were plenty of amazing games, there was also a lot of shit plus people had their limits, financial or otherwise. Compound that by the fact that many of these board games being made now are high-priced and people are reluctant to spend money on something they may not play that often. I can walk into Tanuki Games or Dragon’s Lair here in Austin and I will immediately recognize games I have seen you or others mention or that I’ve read about on BoardGameGeek or Reddit and I’m zeroed in on a few games that I’m considering/wanting and I can be in and out fairly quickly. My middle-schooler will spend a couple of hours looking at every game if given the chance. A casual board game player like my wife would be absolutely overwhelmed unless I point her to one or two sections that I know she would like (Tanuki has a decent setup that doesn’t seem to be too overwhelming for casual players). it’s not in our budget for too many of these games per year, and I have a backlog, so it could be a few years before I catch up. I would bet many others are in the same boat.
  6. I wonder if you asked grok to define what “Western Civilization” is in context to Leon’s rants about it being destroyed, and if the answer would be “the ability to generate shitty AI anime porn for incels to jerk off to in their mom’s basement.”
  7. Cross-quoting? @Gatorubet but you should subscribe to this thread. I loved Broadside as a kid.
  8. So can Poland take Moscow by the end of November, or would it drag into December?
  9. AMC gets money to keep making decent stuff, and I can watch it on Netflix.
