What‘s the best alternative for iOS and macOS? The first articles that come up, rank Brave as one of the best for iOS.
I liked that it blocked all YT ads by default and had tab management.
That grinding a job and stuff is the only way to live
There are some games I only play the digital version of. They‘re easy to handle, cheaper, shorter and give you the simplicity of a board game experience in the palm of your hand.
Hero Realms for example is so awesome!
Edit: Thank you guys for your insightful answers!
Du wirkst schlau! Kann man hier jemanden folgen?
In Steiningen in der Vulkaneifel haben Unbekannte in der Nacht zum Samstag ein Einfamilienhaus unter Wasser gesetzt. Laut Polizei drehten sie alle Wasserhähne in dem Haus auf.
Hatte der eine einen Goldzahn?
World of Warcraft Classic. You start as a no one. Everybody around you seems to know what to do. Your items are shit. You look like a peasant. The silliest enemies force you to rest and are able to kill you.
It‘s challenging but so rewarding. It makes you feel grateful for every single lvlup, item and skill you can get.
Even after spending literal days of your life, there always will be people who are better than you. Everything is said and done. Still this game manages to pull me back in from time to time. It’s so much fun.
- You‘re bluffing (competitive auction/bluffing/set collection)
- Bohnanza (competitive trading)
- The Crew (cooperative trick taking)
- Hanabi (cooperative set collection)
The more there is known about you, the easier you are to be manipulated.
If you read George Orwell‘s 1984 or watch the Cambridge Analytica documentary on Netflix you get an idea.
Her videos about women in video games were mind-blowing. And I never forgot her Lego City vs. Lego Friends comparison. Smurfette-syndrome and damsel distress are words I didn‘t know before watching this channel.
Ein Mal im Jahr mindestens sollte in den Medien, insbesondere den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen, rauf und runter laufen:
- Wer
- wie viel
- an wen genau
gespendet hat. Dazu sollte gezeigt werden, wie diese Personen genau
- an den Formulierungen von Gesetzen beteiligt war
- und wie sie über Gesetze mit spendennahem Thema abgestimmt hat.
Bei der Gelegenheit: Unterstützt Lobby Control.
That‘s why a minimum wage so low that you barely survive is so important
My children are interested in making their own soap. I bought one basic piece of white soap and I have cocoa powder. I plan to melt and mix them slowly. Am I doing this right?
(I don’t know if their interest holds up, so I don’t want to buy shea butter, oils, tools, colors… and all that stuff, yet. I’m just looking for the easiest way possible.)
I see a pattern of games mentioned here! What do you call games like theme hospital? I’d love to skim a few recommendations for these kind of games that let you hire different employees to run parts of your business.
In Germany some schools offer exactly that in day schoolGanztagsschule.
In theory students get time to do homework in a dedicated hour and the last hours are filled with extracurricular activities.
But often times teachers assign too much homework and there‘s always at least one day when you have maths other sth else in the late afternoon, what‘s hell for everyone involved.
I wouldn‘t send my children there, but there are families who are thankful for this system and children who are capable to live an 8-4 day.
Your suggestions are great, thank you! What’s still missing is a game that let’s you hire people with different skills and watch them do their stuff (Theme Hospital, maybe? There have to be better examples nowadays!)
A close example could be Game Dev Tycoon I played for a while. But unfortunately you really had to micromanage every step.
How do you call these games that let you macro-manage people/creatures/processes and you can watch your engine run?
Examples are Rimworld, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Factorio.
I don’t like fast action-based RTS, micromanaging games, I just love to create a world and watch it running on it‘s own!
Is there a specific name for this mechanic? And what are your favorite examples?
What is your opinion on these games?
Race for the Galaxy seems to be the original game, that deserves it‘s praise. But do you still think it‘s good by today‘s standards?
How does it compare to Roll for the Galaxy? Is the latter a more approachable version but lacks depth, like more beginner friendly dice versions of other games?
But that seems to be the case for Jump Drive, right? So far, this one looks like a family friendly approach, while still being awesome enough for more experienced players.
But then there‘s New Frontiers from Lehmann, another space themed game! This one looks a bit like an easy 3.5X game, right? Looking back, do you think all of them are worth buying? If you had to choose only one, which one would it be?
r/brettspiele war zwar nie soo aktiv, aber dennoch immer spannend und deshalb würde ich mich über eine Alternative hier freuen! (Mastodon und Discord sind mir einfach zu schnelllebig und unübersichtlich.)
Sehe ich das richtig, dass es diese Instanz hier noch nicht gibt?
Leider besitze ich keinen Server (den bräuchte ich, um selbst eine zu eröffnen, soweit ich das verstanden habe).
Wie sollte ich nun am besten vorgehen?
-
The Expert: You buy board games as often and as many as you can. You play them alone or with friends. It‘s your favorite hobby.
-
The Collector: You buy way too many games, but actually play only a handful of them.
-
The Hermit: Your prefered way of playing is playing alone.
-
The Specialist: You own a specific but small collection of games, carefully curated for every opportunity, heavy games included.
-
The Casual: You play from time to time with friends, enjoy it, but you are just getting started.
I want to get to know you better! Have I missed a kind of gamer here?
