My wife and I really like Agricola. It's a farming-based people-placing game created in Germany for 2-4 players (with the base game), but there is an expansion for 5-6 players. We do play with a decent amount of house rules, though.

...Okay.

We're not fixing Discord's problems, oh my god. We're trying to get their existing users to go somewhere else even though it's what's familiar and Discord works for them.

Also it's definitely possible to code an import tool that scrapes a given server for info on how to structure things on the new platform, so idk what you think you're gaining by insulting my comparison to an aspect of a service that makes users motivated to switch.

I don't know who shat in your coffee, but get a fucking new cup.

Unfortunately, a lot of fandom communities, video games, and (ugh) hobbyist development projects have Discard servers instead of a forum or similar.

It provides a weird IRC-but-not-really type experience that is similar to MSN in some ways. A lot of younger people flock to it because they find computer stuff difficult and they just want it to work, be easy, and have an app. The UI is trendy even though it's horrible to actually navigate due to all the wasted space and buttons.

I really just think it caught on at the right time, though the video calling is pretty good. What I have a problem with is that you need to join a server to access any information inside of it, so it's not searchable from outside of the Discord ecosystem. For dev projects or large communities, that sucks and makes the internet a worse place.

Who gives a shit? The people who use it that you apparently want to switch to something else, for one. Shouldn't it be easy to switch, like going from Chrome to Firefox? That's how we get out of Discord hell.

Anything that wants to meaningfully compete with Discord will probably also need to be able to near-seamlessly port over existing Discord servers to the new platform, since it's so established now. Is there a competitor that can do that?

Just as a comparison, that's about on par with the annual salary of some of the really big athletes in the NBA. LeBron James will earn just under $50 million this season.

Maybe not the best example, but The Prestige was very fun. I thought the reveal was worth waiting for, it sort of felt like a whodunit.

I wonder how many of those girls were excited to compete until some adult pulled them out because of the No Good Very Bad Unfair Unsafe Trans Girl. While I don't doubt there are teenage transphobes, most of the teenagers I went to school with (Catholic school) or know tangentially have way bigger problems, like zits and algebra homework.

If I had to guess, it looks like 8 or 9 feet. A bit higher than the average door frame (usually 7 feet).

Yeah, I thought selecting him for leader was bad years ago, but it's obvious now that he can't really do much of anything. Guess we'd better prep for 4 years of conservative austerity since our electoral system is broken.

Well, I don't use a DE so your scenario of the new display not switching over right away is basically my life every time autorandr decides not to run on startup.

This reminds me of when Campo Santo (Firewatch dev studio) was bought by Valve so they could have more resources. Then they never made another game ever again. :b I've heard they're cool with it, but who knows.

I love u Muphry's Law.

Are you always storing it in the same place in your freezer? Even if your freezer is the correct temperature it can still sometimes have spots where things don't freeze properly.

The original photo seems to be of a magician named Ted Schwank.

No, it's a reference to Goatse, a NSFW shock meme from the early- to mid-2000s. Don't Google it unless you want to see a very wide, spread open anus.

Wow, what a missed layup. Guess she wants to lose all of her goodwill? Fucking strange.

Every time this is posted I have the knee-jerk reaction that it's Photoshopped just because it's so ridiculous. It's basically an art project.
