if they say “Moll and L’Ak” one more time I’ll have a aneurysm.

wondering if all this investment they’re doing on voice is going to have diminishing returns, like, the whole pitch for HA cloud integration is that you could see and use your HA devices with your cloud enabled voice assistant services, right? Nabu Casa makes money for the HA project. is getting rid of the middle man worth it? I needed some first hand experience to convince myself about getting into it or just simply keep paying for NC

they’re not taking about Levar Burton, they’re referencing a famous skit by Lance Reddick in the Eric Andre show.

I’d say 4/10.

One remarkable thing was that it paved the way for SNW.

All other captains were more interesting captains than Burnham, and that’s sad, because they were removing them so fast. The happiest point for me was when they made Saru captain, only to remove it later.

I’m ok with Klingons, I think it’s ok that each Star Trek generation rethink their visual language.

They told some good stories.

“Computer, one human arm, medium rare”

agreed, the Enterprise always stops the warp engine in front of another ship’s debris. Ton of stories about manouvers with pilot names, tons of situations where the ship weapons doesn’t work so they have to resort to diplomacy, and we’ve always looked at this world from the perspective of one ship. I’m pretty sure the rest of the captains are more Jellico than Picard

hey now, why don’t we take a relaxing mud bath and we talk about it later?

Rules complexity might be another factor since it would be more difficult to record and reproduce very complex rules.

Backgammon is about 5000 years old and sets seldomly include a rulebook, they assume someone taught you how to play and, at least for me, it’s such a complex game in terms of mechanics.

upvote for Arkham Horror LCG, it’s just cards and some tokens (that can be easily replaced by pen and paper or small dice. I’d recommend bringing some of the expansion scenarios (there’s also standalone scenarios you can buy) but the base box experience is ok.

e: forgot about the bag, there’s a bag of tokens that’s required. so not all tokens are replaceable

if it’s for a camping experience I’d say the amount of components could make it difficult to setup

I can recommend “Cat Rescue”, it’s played with cards in a cloth board and it’s really cute. The mechanics are really similar to Candy Crush, it’s fun to play with family.

I have my house switch to night mode after a certain amount of time after sunset. During night mode:

• turning my computer on or off will toggle my desk light.
• if my cellphone is put over my wireless charger it will turn off my bed light (or turn it back on if I remove it).
