It would not only “showcase their vulnerability”; it’d be a vulnerable event itself. If they’re smart, they absolutely should not run a parade, haha.

Indeed, I lead a choir and a handbell choir at the church where I work; some handbell ringers became very close friends!

Yes, I’ve met a bunch of interesting people through board games, and one of them is one of my closest friends now! Facebook and Meetup are the top ways to connect, though I try to also promote the lowly, nonprofit GameNight.host whenever I can.

Anyway, Hard to Get is another, solid cooperative discussion game: it’s like Codenames, except everyone is on the same team that’s trying to pare the grid down to just the 1 assassin word; the clue giver gives highly restricted, awkward/irrelevant clues about it versus all the rest.

But it’s also about quality of life; do you want the last decade to be in increasing pain with challenged mobility or not as bad?

One of us is gonna have to email one of the authors to ask for a copy. I’ve read that they want the public to read their work and that the paywall is just like a default setting.

I began offering weekly board game gatherings and dinners for the public, and, aside from the rocky start (no one at the first 2 events), every gathering has always gotten a minimum of 3-8 people here in West Allis, WI!

I’ve been using this website in conjunction with a Facebook group: https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn

From gentlest to strongest intensity:

• URLCheck
• AdNauseam
• NoScript

I use all 3. NoScript actually isn’t needed for uBlock Origin and any forks of it like AdNauseam because they can also selectively disable/enable JavaScript, but I can’t seem to find the section to do so in AdNauseam…

a couple million

That’s the average price of a teenage life, too, apparently.

Thanks for sharing; I thought this was a fascinating read, especially since it ended on a positive note and not pure condemnation. It seems totally Black Mirror-esque, but I do wonder how many of the commentators here attacking it didn’t read the article. The family obviously didn’t make this decision lightly, given how much work it took to create it, and even the judge appreciated the novel approach. This is probably one of the best-case use scenarios relative to the abyss of unstoppable horror that awaits us.
