I didn't think this made the beehaw stuff read only. I thought we got a snapshot from the moment they defederated, and it doesn't update after that. .world users can comment, but that's only on the snapshot that .world is storing. as time goes on it veers further and further from the 'real' content stored on beehaw.

My son is 12, and hasn't expressed any interest in Undaunted. But he really enjoys Aeon's End and Warhammer Invasion. WH:I is going to hard to find. Aeon's End is a co-op deckbuilder, that's pretty thinky and really leans into the coop aspect of things.

I have it sitting on my kitchen table. I've punched and organized since it came, but I haven't played yet.

I've seen the complaint about the rules a couple times now. That it really assumes you've played Star Wars Rebellion, if you haven't the rules aren't quite thorough enough

I've played a lot of Betrayal. I play tested it at AvalonCon back while I was in high school.

It's very random, and has the potential for some really great games and some real duds. I know in the later editions there have been efforts made to tighten up the scenario balance, do maybe things are better. But From my experience, maybe 1 in 3 games has been 'good', 1 just meh, and the last a steamroller for one side. So many of the scenarios depend on thr size of the house, with too large or too small of a house making it unbalanced. Or specific items being useless or over powered. And many of the scenarios have pretty loose rules.

As long as you understand that, it's a fairly light game that can have a decently large group working together.

I've enjoyed my copy, but there was a stretch where it was OOP and going for big money. It wasn't worth that, but for a regular in-print price, it's fine.

Another S20FE here. I've had new phone fever recently, but I keep having to ask myself....what exactly am I going to gain from spending almost a grand on a new S23.

There are exceptions, but for most games, given a choice between SNES and GBA versions, the SNES one is better. Usually sound is severely compressed on the GBA and the visuals are washed out.

as long as the instances are federated, you can interact with communities on other instances. There's alittle extra effort needed to subscribe to a community on another instance, but it's not difficult.

it does mean that you are subject to the uptime of whatever server the community is on. So things like Lemmy.ml that are having difficulties right now affect more than just the users on that instance.
