I'm mostly shocked at how the remote season of Game Changer is still good. I was totally expecting it to be disappointing since they can't be there in person.
I'm not looking forward to catching up with Game Change and Make Some Noise, but it looks like they're plenty of other shows to enjoy too

I feel like most people who grew up in an Eastern Asian household are familiar with the design and the little elephant logo. So it was special when I was finally able to buy my own years ago.

It's taken over my family gatherings. It advertises as a 15 minute game, but it's usually longer. The goal of the game is to get three complete properties. Each turn you draw two cards and have three actions. Aside from property and cash, there are also action cards. Forced property trades, property steals, pay rent, prevent actions against you, etc.
There's other rules, but nothing too complicated. Most kids and adults can pick this up and will play much faster than regular Monopoly.
We used to be an Uno family, but this has become a staple ever since my cousin introduced it.
Edit: To answer some of your other questions... the deck is no bigger than Uno. So it travels real easy. I find it to just be a fun game to play. The game is straight forward, but has depth. Most people will be invested in winning or losing.

Obviously you don't, so why comment at all? You're just complaining about complaining. If you're disappointed or annoyed that the comment thread isn't as you expected, then say that. Don't simply dismiss everyone else's opinions with generic reasoning like you have never had a similar thought.

I finally watched some of the free Game Changer episodes and that sold it for me. I'm gonna go through the other free episodes and sign up for dropout.
This is a part of the internet I was unaware of, but glad I discovered it

Comment on What's the biggest YouTube channel still run by just one person? in ~creative
TheRTV Link ParentYea I'd be surprised if a YouTuber is doing their own editing on bigger channel. Nerdwriter1 still does, but he only puts out one video a month.Yea I'd be surprised if a YouTuber is doing their own editing on bigger channel.

It takes place before WoR. I would definitely suggest reading it before 5.

The new boards are all fun and different in their own ways. Pro mode is okay. It removes a lot of the variability which removes some of the fun for me. I like most of the mini games, including the motion ones. The new Jamboree buddy is a great mechanic. I like that everyone has to compete for them. The competition is longer than a regular mini game which makes it more satisfying to win.
The best part of this is the new Koopathon game mode though. I am hooked. I love the fast paced competition as well as competing against 19 other players. The Browser minigame is tough enough that it can always throw things for a loop, so you can usually jump up the rankings by winning.
I bought the Switch online 2 vouchers for $100 deal for LoZ and this. MP is definitely worth the money for me

Comment on The Wayans Brothers reunite for new ‘Scary Movie’ with Miramax and Paramount in ~movies

Most fans of the original will already know that. So having Keenan at the helm will be a good sign.
Also comedies, like horror, can be cheap to make. So it can be easier to make a profit.
Personally I have my doubts. But as a millennial I grew up with a lot of Wayans projects. From In Living Color to Scary Movie to some of the newer generation's projects. So I also have some trust.
All that to say I think that some people will want this lol

My niece actually turned me onto this. I wanted to minimize what I need to leave the house. So I switched to phone wallets a long time ago. Specifically ones that didn't require opening or closing. I carry my ID, insurance card, credit card, debit card (for ATM needs). I rarely need cash day-to-day. So I'm fine just putting that in my free pocket.
The other benefit of the PopSocket is that i can take it off at home, but it's secure when it's clipped.

LoZ is one of my favorite gaming franchises ever! I've beaten almost every main line game. I've been excited for this. I'm almost at the second dungeon and I'm really enjoying it. It's not making my top 5 LoZ games, but I'm really glad they made this. On top of finally playing as the titular character, the mechanic is fun and unique. Being able to play copies of enemies or objects you encounter makes for fun combat and exploration. You can also swing a sword to a limited extent as well.
It seems you might be able to approach the adventure in a non-linear fashion, but I'm just going the way they tell me. The art style is cute and I'm really digging the music. If you like Legend of Zelda and puzzles, then this game is for you!
Also tried Monopoly Go for the first time. It's a fun little time waster

Comment on A bigger basket air fryer is worth it, even if you aren't cooking for a crowd in ~food

It's a bit too tall as the lid does not open all the way with my cabinets. But that's a minor inconvenience given it's usefulness
Paranoia sounds hilarious! I'm gonna add that to my list. I've watched a few episodes of Um, Actually and it's okay. Maybe it's the first season or it's just not my cup of tea
