Me: Who played the stormtrooper who says, "... and I'll drop my weapon"?

Student: You?

Question from one of the new Fire Arts students: "Do you feel intimidated when people holding weapons form a circle around you?"

Nah, I could take all of 'em.

When doing math in the Phantom Zone, Kryptonians have to use KNEEL BEFORE ZODular arithmetic.

Trying out the Arkham Horror card game. I'm going to go down into the cellar alone. What could possibly go wrong?

Finished Dungeons of Dreadrock, an exquisite indy mobile dungeon puzzler. The sort of game that makes you feel clever.

Option 1: Begin chanting, "smooch! smooch!", rhythmically pounding on the lectern until the audience joins the chant.

Option 2: Press a mechanical button on a boom box to start the Barry White or appropriate equivalent.

Option 3: Daleks in bow ties enter the room, shrieking, "OSCULATE! OSCULATE!"

Option 4: Examine cuticles while pointing out, "Nobody can legally stop you from kissing now. Just saying."

@jalefkowit A tragedy that this person lived before social media. She would have had GAME.

Well, we tried Nebulous: Fleet Command and found it perhaps too realistic and not cinematic for our tastes. Too much watching readouts and icons and not enough seat-of-the-pants decision making. Is there deep strategy to be had? Maybe, but the UI simultaneously provides too much and not enough information; I found myself wondering, "Why is this system, which is listed on my ship, not in the menu of actions I can take?" I can't plan a soccer game if I can't figure out how to operate my legs.

Next time we'll try Homeworld multiplayer.

@cy@mstdn.io Yeah, and the pandemic certainly hasn't helped.

RPGs are nice because people will schedule time to meet every week or two.
