@nyrath Go has a LONG history, of course. The oldest (partial) game record is from around 200 CE. Some famous games include the Ear-Reddening Game, the Blood-Vomiting Game, and the Atomic Bomb Game, which was interrupted (but not stopped!) by the bombing of Hiroshima.

@Montag I have not!
I see #solarpunk as all the things happening between the depressing geopolitical processes, what we describe in the @SolarpunkPrompts podcast, local communities thriving despite the global systems failing. So it doesn't need to be so dreadful.
We need more games, more media to talk about the climate and what will be happening in the coming decades.
@nyrath I've got DVDs of the anime.
Movies where people play games usually get it deeply wrong. For example, the Go board in A Beautiful Mind makes no sense. Hikaru no Go did a clever thing: the games shown are historical games between experts.

Someone put up an "AI-powered" website to help students find "Easy GE" courses at the University. It looks about like how you might expect it to go. 😂

@enobacon We also lost about two weeks to the storm. Fingers crossed for a return to normalcy, but there are snowflakes on the distant horizon.

My grandson Quinn. His dodgeball team are called the Cheeto Puffs. His friend Dominic came up with the idea for the tutus. These kids today.
They made it to the championship. We’ll see if they prevail in all their orange dust glory.

Oh hey Pastafarians, did you know that this glorious thing exists? Because I didn't.

@JeffGrigg @kd7eir It's real, but dangerous:
Is it more dangerous than doing it the old-fashioned way? I don't know. Piloting the helicopter remotely might help.
We both missed big moves in the upper right corner for a long time.
