The little sub that could!

Yeah, you're allowed to curse on the internet. Be free! It is bullshit when this happens.

"In further news, strange link between board games and train motifs also explained."

To be honest, if you had access to the equipment that would be a lot more practical way to make this. Get a piece of square bar stock of your chosen metal, cut it into cubes, and then engrave and polish. That said, most people don't have that kind of stuff just lying around. Maybe if you've got access to a makerspace or a shop thru work or some really, really good friends.

I'm big on the cult of the old. I'd rather play one game ten times than ten games one time, and I think that if a game can't hold up to at least five plays it isn't worth owning. Of course, if other people want to spend their money on that kind of stuff, it's fine, but I like to keep my collection small and replayable. In my opinion, the best board games get better with repeated plays because that's when you can really get into the strategy.

Side note, but I also really hate the idea of legacy games where you just have to throw the thing out once you're done.

Haven't done one of these in awhile. What's up, peeps?

Yeah, modded Minecraft is still a big deal. You can join us over at !moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz if you want. The mod Create is a big deal right now, and rightfully so. It may well be the greatest of all time, as far as Minecraft mods go.

I love the mix of shocked and disappointed reactions.

Hello everybody!

When I initially created this community, there wasn't a place to discuss board games on Lemmy yet. I set up this server on sopuli.xyz because many people were gravitating towards lemmy.ml and I wanted to help counteract that somewhat, even in a minor way.

That said, activity here has been next to non-existent. The community over at boardgames@feddit.de has surpassed this one in every way. Personally, I'm fine with this, so I have decided to close this community and recommend people join that community instead. At the time being, there isn't a compelling reason for this community to exist as an alternative.

Should this change, I will reopen the community. That said, if anyone else wishes to take over this community, I would be happy to hand it over to them. Until then, goodbye!

Iron Rail 4 Kickstarter is up. (www.kickstarter.com)

I've been waiting for a reprint of South African Rails for awhile now. I played it awhile back at a con and had a great time, so it's nice to see it get a wider release alongside some maps.

Recently I listened to the Specials self-titled 1979 album and really enjoyed it. I've been wanting to try out some Ska music for awhile now because it's a genre I don't know a whole lot about. What recommendations do you guys have as far as Ska music?

Warsim deserves love. It's a real passion project: a text-based kingdom management sim with lots of things to do and nooks and crannies to explore.

Monthly check in! What have you all gotten to the table recently?

[-] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Seems half-baked. Are they trying to resurrect the flash game? It could work as a standalone thing, but I don't see why it needs to be part of YouTube other than the fact they're going to shove it in our faces just like they did their TikTok clone.

[-] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

No, but I'm pretty sure I played a flash port of it.

Don't overfeed your cats people, especially not for internet points.

Pax Porfiriana (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Profilename1@sopuli.xyz to c/boardgames@sopuli.xyz

Got a play of Pax Porfiriana in yesterday. Excellent game, very close play. It came down to money after a military coup was narrowly averted. I probably could have won on money had I abandoned the coup attempt and sold off my assassin cards instead, but dang it, I don't want to be the richest player, I want to be the military dictator of Mexico!

It's reminiscent of Pax Pamir, which is in the same system. I'd have to get another Pamir play in to compare, but I think I prefer Porfiriana.
