Comment on AirPods or not? in ~music

They have an app also where you can do a little EQing. They have ANC that, to my ears, is really strong, but I also hate ANC and find it makes me dizzy in general, so that wasn't a selling point for me. The battery life, especially without ANC, is amazing.
Basically, when I did my research, I wanted AirPods but cheaper and not Apple and these have absolutely done that for me. They're no Sennheisers but as a daily active use solution, I've really enjoyed them.

Huge shout out to the Haas boys for keeping it clean and bringing home some amazing points. Komatsu has absolutely been the missing piece for this team.

I used to play MtG a ton years ago but I was always exhausted by the seemingly endless choices when building a deck. Games like this are perfect for me because at any one moment, the decision space isn't more than, like, 5 options. In MtG, I would get anxious that I was doing it "wrong" or something. I never feel that with StS. I just go for it!

If I want to say more, totally fine, but the minimum is 3. It helps differentiate each day and feels less overwhelming for me than "just journaling".

The animation is striking, the entire Ubisoft catalog of games is somehow respectfully thrown in a blender, and, most of all, it told a story that made me actually care about what the fuck happens to a talking assassin frog.

I'm not in love with the pace and aesthetic of Cocoon but the puzzles are so damn good. The whole gimmick are these orbs that you can carry but also that you can enter and explore the worlds within them. It is so expertly crafted that a very overwhelming thing becomes very intuitive
I loved The Messenger so I had to check out Sea of Stars and so far, so good! I don't have a lot of nostalgia for this sort of Chrono Trigger-y type of game but I like the characters and world!

The Descent by Jeff Long
If you've seen the movie called The Descent, it was NOT based on this book but it might as well have been. Strange creatures start coming up from caves and sewers. Humans decide to head down and get a LOT more than they bargained for. Kinda goes off the rails towards the end but I couldn't put it down. -
The White Road
The first section is the most harrowing cave horror I've ever read. (could you tell I was on a caves kick?) In the later sections, they head to Mt. Everest and it becomes a human vs the elements story which is fun.

Comment on What are your favorite funny, silly or wacky games? in ~games

Someone else mentioned Scout so I'll second that!
I also really enjoy Kariba. It's a breezy card game where you're playing animals around a watering hole. Plays in maybe 10-15 minutes.
Lastly, I finally played Take 5 or 6 Nimmt last night with 7 people and it was great! Appealed to hardcore boardgamers as a fun, quick game but also the family around the table who WON'T play boardgames found some joy in it.
