Huh. I can’t find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

All yums.

New characters are resources too. The word doesn’t have to be limited to spendable currencies like “lumber and gems”.

This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.

For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as “playing Pandemic, as the disease”. You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone’s clearing if they aren’t keeping you in check.

For sci-fi, one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

Tetris doesn’t really have an end. It just keeps going. So this is a very specific crash where if you get far enough into the game, it can’t keep up with the player any more. You “beat” Tetris by playing so well you make the game break.

This is similar to getting pacman to crash by beating level 255 at which point incrementing the level goes past what can be stored and the data gets corrupted.

I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn’t show any table like you describe, and no links to the other “parts” out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

“Living fuels” as opposed to fossil fuels?

These sales are for the original Ps5 model, right? Not the “slim”?

Is there any major reason to choose one over the other besides the size?

Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?

This game came out in 2022.

If you haven’t already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it’s grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.

“We’re Alive” was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless “books”. Available as a freebie if you have Audible.

“Impact Winter” is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.

Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It’s a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don’t need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.

Yep I do this. The game can take 15 minutes to teach, but an hour for me to re-learn if I have to read the rules again. If I write my “teach” into a cheat sheet it’s so much easier to replay because it removes the mental barrier of having to read yet another 39 page manual.

Plus, there’s always some tricky rule that everyone gets wrong the first time I explain it. My notes help me ensure I teach it “right” the first time.

What do you mean by keeping bookmarks? You mean like recording your place in the book so you can continue where you left off? I’m not understanding the benefit of that over a normal paper bookmark?

Yep, if you liked the author, Project Hail Mary by the same guy has very similar vibes. Optimistic scientist dude stuck in space using science in creative ways to save the day.

It’s a newer image file format. You could think of it as a “better” version of a GIF or PNG. It compresses to a smaller file size with better quality, so lots of sites are using it now to speed up image loading without sacrificing quality.

The problem is they aren’t comparing apples to apples. They asked each version of GPT a different pool of questions. (Edited my post to make this clear).

Once you ask them the same questions, it becomes clear that ChatGPT isn’t getting worse at math, because it has been terrible all along.

My understanding is this claim is basically entirely false. The tests done by these researchers had some glaring errors that when corrected, show gpt-4 is getting slightly better at math, if anything. See this video that describes some of the issues: https://youtu.be/YSokS2ivf7U

TL;DR The researchers gave new GPT questions from two different pools. It’s no surprise they got worse answers.

Ender 3 V2 Neo. Low cost, good quality, easy to put together, and includes most of the “upgrades” you would usually end up buying separately anyway (auto-leveling, etc.). Good entry-level printer that performs very well and will handle most anything you throw at it (large bulky parts, or small detailed miniatures). May be all you need for a good long while. I’ve had mine printing 2-3 things a week for a year and a half without any issue.

I’d still call it a legacy game. While legacy games usually involve physically, permanently, altering the pieces, it’s not required; just that previous sessions carry some impact over to the next. At least that’s what I’ve seen.

I would say simply adding and removing cards from the game counts as a legacy mechanic, since at any time my copy of Oath is going to play different than your copy based on our play history.

Maybe “legacy-lite”?

Edit: seems the term might be “Fable”? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/44081/series-fable-game-system
