“Oy!” “Wut?” Just chat (The Return of)

Our Azathoth in the Loft scared the rest away. Although I thought I saw a Nyarlathotep on the Doorstep yesterday…

I don’t think ‘napping’ is a useful concept in a Cthulhuid context; nor ‘corner’, come to that.

Well obviously they would be napping while dead and dreaming in a non-euclidian corner of R’lyeh for which the nook by your family-room radiator would be a stand-in.

If Santa knows whether you are good or bad, he KNEW that Rudolph was being bullied and did nothing about it. Prick.

It was a singular you.

Like the Depeche Mode song. Your own personal Santa. Someone to bring you coal. Someone… Ho Ho.

He sort of did. Enslaved him away from bullies…

Yeah, but ‘napping’ seems a somewhat trivial, even cuddly, term for the stasis of the Old Ones.
Non-Euclidean corners, well, I’ve lived in a house with those: no biggie. [grin]

This almost makes me want to buy Quacks.
I might just order it as an early birthday present to stash away for my friend who loves the game :slight_smile:

That is a shadow of a floater (Weiss ring) next to a 3D scan of a patient’s optic nerve head which is tilted. All benign but I think it’s really cool

If you say that’s what it is, I’ll believe you. Looks like someone threw a blanket over a baby to me though. :smiley:

Great share! It is amazing what you on the optometrist industry get to see. On my last eye check they told me I have freckles on the lower part of my retina and inside the eye “floor”, and that got me by surprise.

Makes sense, it must be the area that gets more sun exposure, but still, I was like: wow

Someone came up with the term of the type of games I really love! The geeklist creator cited Dads on a Map podcast. So, I am gonna listen to that from here on. I contributed some but didn’t had enough free time to add more. But I should

Lol most of the games on the list come from you. But I agree it is a great characterization for some good games. I may use that to sell some games to my friends.

That’s an interesting list! Do you think Food Chain Magnate counts?

Ah that’s a tough one! The marketing feel kinda like that, say, someone did some pizza marketing and it benefits all players with pizza cooks/chef.

It’s a very high player interaction game, but it’s also very zero-sum, unlike the entries in that geeklist.

The number one example I’ve seen of that type of “shared benefit” is Concordia, but that’s literally a worker placement and I don’t know about the rest of the interaction level - does it count?

The only interaction I can see in Concordia is the Prefect action. Other than that, it’s fairly solitaire. It’s more solitaire than Gerdts’ other stuff like Navegador, Antike II, and Imperial.
