    Oh for sure. I absolutely love it and after using it regularly it's hard to go back to the free option, even as well as that works. Maybe we can get enough people playing to run it regularly. I usually do the storytelling for my group, so I'm happy to teach people to play.

    Canvas is such a good game. It's a hit with everybody I've played it with. I'll have to incorporate this into our next game.

    We lions fans just accept it now. We lose on weird plays like the Megatron catch rule, Seattle batting out of the endzone, 10 second run off, among others. Just add it to the list. Either way we're in the playoffs. Use it as a motivator and focus on the games ahead.

    I have mine that are currently in use hanging on my oven handle. Once they have served their purpose for a day or two (or are dirty enough to merit it) I throw them in the wash, usually with my other towels. I don't wipe grease or anything with them, so they stay nice enough laundering them once a week.

    The bridge is for cars, as its purpose is linking the lower and upper peninsula. Labor day is the only day where you can walk it, as it shuts down for the morning for the annual bridge walk. As for the island, you get to it by ferry or airplane.

    Nice thing with the official is the ability to change individual mic volumes. Exact kind of comforts I'm talking about that make it hard to use the unofficial. Also as long as one player has the higher tier (I do), nobody else actually has to pay, which is nice.

    Do we have any clocktower players here? It's a social deduction game in the same vein as something like werewolf. I play on the official app online when i have a chance, but many groups tend to not be as welcoming to new people joining up with them and seem to be very "cliquey" in their play. The non official app seems to have a better community, but the QoL comforts of the official app just make it hard to go back to the unofficial one.

    I've played a good number of games and ran many more as a storyteller. Just looking to find a more welcoming group in need of a player or 2 to join occasionally (my wife plays as well), or if interest is warranted, maybe start one up. I'd be happy to teach anybody who is interested.

    I'm on the the official and non official discord, along with the NRB one, but if there are any other good discord groups to join I'd be happy to hear of them.

    Looking directly at the complaint, they cite sources from 2023 so must be relatively recent.

    There was a game called Abuse that we had on our old macOS computer. It was only the shareware version, but I played it so much as a kid. Couple years ago I went and played through the entire thing and it still holds up. It's just got a great variety of weapons and lots of secrets to explore and find.

    I have a couple old arcade boards I need to do something with. I have everything I need for the Ms. Pacman, just need to assemble a cabinet for it.
    The other board is Bubble Bobble. I have enough switches and joysticks but still need to source a good screen and artwork for the eventual cabinet.

    Fully agree with this. Having the option to scroll through the home and see all my subbed groups is something I personally enjoy.

    I've got way too many hours already in it. I'm really digging it over what d3 was at launch. The limited skills is kinda rough, but I've grown used to it. If I get even 10% of the playtime I got out of D2 I'll be happy.

    Biggest surprise to me, is the launch. I've run into very few queues and limited issues. I hate this whole always online thing in modern games, but at least it's been smooth. I was afraid for full launch, but no complaints so far.
