This sub is called “mildly infuriating”, not “holy shit I’m out of my mind angry at this”

Holy crap Armadillo Run! I had totally forgotten about this game, someone had it on a flash drive in my physics class and we all got a copy and played it.

I love Sheriff, even if I’m terrible at it lol.

Other favorites in our group are Coup, Resistance, and for really big groups we play Two Rooms and a Boom.

I played a game called Mindtrap as a kid, it was a box of different cards with puzzles on them.

The actual game is you played on teams to answer these riddles, but I just looked at the cards and tried solving them. I think they revamped it more recently.

I’ve tried several boxes, even bought a couple of their fancy iridescent spoons!

IMHO the cereal is okay, but I love the spoons lol

I used to work at Geek Squad, and pranks are sorta ingrained into the culture. As a bit of background, our job title was “CIA”, for Counter Intelligence Agent (as in, the “front counter” of the store). Definitely ran by nerds.

Anyway, when you get your CIA badge (literal medal badge, dubbed a “shield”), there’s typically a ceremony, it gets presented, it’s like a badge of honor, no pun intended. So when someone got theirs, I put it in orange jello. This guy had regularly yoinked other people’s badges and would take random photos with them, it was good fun and harmless.

Years ago I did this to my boss, and printed out the “troll” face from rage comics. Had the satisfaction of watching him move the mouse around, get confused, pick up the mouse to look at it, see his shoulders slump and shake his head.

Just the smallest, dumbest thing, but I remember it 10 years later.

“Foreign” in this context just means “not Crowdstrike”, not like a foreign government.

Years ago, I saw this question and someone commented on Reddit that they bring wet wipes with them when they go out.

It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

There’s a studio called SoundBooth Theater that does whole ass performances.

Currently listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman, narrated by Jeff Hayes. And it’s awesome. He does the scoffs, laughs, sings in character voices, has crazy sound effects and music, etc.

See also: Friends in Low Places. They played it at a AAA baseball game here and the whole place was chanting it lol.

I did a Dishonored run with zero kills and never being spotted, took forever but felt so satisfying.

Thank you for actually providing an explanation beyond stating the word “science”

Agreed, surprised they haven’t shown up in this thread yet lol.

Yeah that’s fair.

It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don’t have to participate to enjoy it.

I’m on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There’s this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.

Compared to Stardew Valley, it’s much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it’s pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It’s also much heavier on skill progression. You’ll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).

Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).

Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it’s kind of a lot to manage. It’s just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I’d rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I’m gone doing other stuff.

If it matters they’re all skins that don’t really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you’re opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren’t predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren’t paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.
