I was thick and didn't get it for a long while. For those who need it explained:

Clown Cars are normal looking cars that typically hold many more clowns than you'd expect

I'll second this. For some folks just hanging out with people can be exhausting if you're not naturally chatty. Personally, I run out of meaningful things to talk about in focused conversation pretty quickly and need a chance for my brain to "reload" or I'm stuck talking about the weather to keep a conversation going. This goes double with people I don't particularly know well.

If you're playing a game with folks, most of the time everyone's focus is on the game or talking about things related to the game which is easy enough to do since it is a shared experience. I often find I have a whole bandolier of semi-related ideas to discuss or funny quips that build up as we play ready to be deployed at any available opportunity. That feeling of plenty in terms of conversation makes socializing over board games so much easier for me.

Okay... fine. This is the one case where I'm cheering for ICE.

Chunk of the founders ousted and a dev team resentful about getting screwed. Think we got ourselves another Concord on our hands.

True Detective'

I'm gonna say Game of Thrones. I know seasons 2-4 were pretty good but since it leads to utter poop smearing madness in seasons 5-8, I'd have preferred they keep it to one season.

I want to believe the writers purposely did that to make the VIPs as unrelatable and inhuman as possible.

Definitely not as good as season 1. It was simply 'alright'. But then again I skipped all the boring cop investigation parts just as I did in seasons 1-2. My opinion of the show would have been much lower had I been forced to watch those parts.

 

Despite everything, Márquez Duany doesn’t blame Trump. “There are probably too many people here,” he says. “I understand trying to get rid of those who shouldn’t be here. But Trump should look at each individual case.

“Like mine.”

 

I think she's a keeper

 

There's a mentality that the better players are on Chesscum.

Got a game with my biggest rival next week. I need an edge. Any edge. Does anyone know where I can get a hit of Chesscum?

 

Absolutely haram.

 

Secretary of education Linda McMahon keeps calling AI, A1.

Only the best people.

McMahon said she’d heard about “a school system that’s going to start making sure that first graders, or even pre-Ks, have A1 teaching in every year,” which she said was a “wonderful thing.”

But the comment wasn’t just an isolated slip of the tongue. McMahon added, “Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how can that be helpful.”

 

SPOILERS AHEAD SO READ NO FURTHER IF IT MATTERS FOR YOU . . . . . .

So we've played through the Dunwich, and Path to Carcosa campaigns and had a grand time all the way through them. Then we started on the third campaign The Forgotten Age.

Things were definitely trickier with the new explore mechanic but manageable for the first two scenarios. We definitely felt a large step up in difficulty.

Then we got the Boundary Beyond and just got like totally smashed with almost no headway towards finishing the second act. Like we retried it twice but the results were nearly the same we got one maybe 2.5 locations cleared out before our situation became obviously hopeless.

The costs to explore each location are just so punishing and leaves you with no gas to handle the mythos that ultimately ushers us to our doom.

It's really soured our group on the game in general and I'm not sure they'll want to continue at this point. Is there something we're doing wrong?

 

A self-confessed ’MAGA junkie’ from a red-voting city devastated by Department of Government Efficiency firings has said she regrets voting for Donald Trump.
