I kinda like that the Alien ripoff game is better than the official Alien games (at least in my opinion).

I played a game of Final Girl and lost miserably. I love the game concept and the art, but I just can’t get into it (I’ve tried). The mechanics are too random and boring. I really want to like this game, but it’s not happening, so I’m not going to back the Kickstarter.

I’ve also started playing Tainted Grail: Last Knight. I really liked the story in Fall off Avalon, so hopefully Last Knight is as good.

Besides physical games, I played a few async games online.

TI4 - Finished a game I’ve been playing for about a month. I didn’t win, but I was close.

Dune - Playing as Emperor. Still pretty early in the game.

Gandhi - Playing as the Revolutionaries. Doing pretty well and it’s close to the end of the game. This is probably my favorite COIN game.

This is a pretty good list that balances how fun the game is with complexity and popularity. I’ve played all the games except Star Wars and War of the Ring, and I liked them all (except maybe Gaia Project, because I like Terra Mystica more).

Of course there are a lot of war games that are more complicated, but I can’t think of any war game that’s more complicated, more popular, and more fun than the games on the list.

I don’t know the author of the article, so, for all I know, they might have just searched for the top complicated games on BGG, but the result is a pretty good list.

Sony - When the ps3 came out it had the OtherOS feature that allowed users to install Linux. This was the main reason I bought a PS3 instead of other systems. From the beginning, it turned out that Sony crippled the OtherOS by restricting resources that were available to it.

After a few years, they removed the OtherOS feature, because someone hacked it, which could possibly lead to pirating ps3 games.

They sold me a PS3 based on a specific feature and then disabled that feature. I will never knowingly buy a Sony product again.

Same here. I had a bunch of their CDs and downloaded a few Metallica songs. Then I got kicked off of Napster after they sued, and haven’t been able to listen to Metallica since then. I’m not boycotting them, and they’re within their right to sue, but the whole incident just soured their songs in my mind.

Played Dune Imperium for the first time, solo. The game is a lot simpler (in terms of rules) than I expected it to be. I thought the game was just ok. The bot system was one of the lowest maintenance and easiest bot systems I’ve ever used. I’ll probably play it again this week to see if I can get more into it.

Based on your list, I recommend an older HBO show called Carnivale. It’s a grimdark show about a traveling carnival during the US dust bowl. Unfortunately it was cancelled after the second season.
