Examples: Imperial Assault has been a hit, but keeping track of all the components through a campaign is a headache. Gloomhaven was too esoteric. SW Rebellion was ok, but he didn't quite grasp strategy and needed someone to read stuff to him. Memoir '44 was ok (too dry/grounded?)

What good ameritrash is out there? Looking for games that:
1. Are combat/action focused
2. Aren't 2+ hours long with tons of setup
3. Have very little or no english language skills required 4. Aren't crazy heavy or punitive
5. Not dry or historical.

I have confirmed that @squarespace is either: 1. Lying to me. 2. Somehow technically incapable of pushing through a domain transfer. 3. Deliberately holding my domain in limbo for multiple days to.....convince me to stay with them out of frustration? IDK. This is absurd.

I don't like going to social media to complain, but my website is going to be down for about 10 days because of @squarespace's stupidly long customer support wait times and general incompetence. Why is there no way to push through a domain transfer? Why do I have to wait 5 days?
English
@KGRhetorical @squarespace To be fair, they do have a SOP, it's just an email that says "you requested a domain transfer. It'll happen automatically in 5 days unless you cancel it" and there's no apparent way to just make it happen immediately.
English
@MarcTTG @squarespace Hey @squarespace, is doing a domain transfer really so unique that you don’t have an SOP in place? Or is it that you think this kind of turnaround time is acceptable?

@belltowergames Yeah but that's a bit adjacent to the question of who is more important, though.
English
@MarcTTG AND, I think there's also a case to be made that when it becomes the state religion, it also becomes an entirely different thing than its founder was aiming for.
Whereas Paul was probably at least trying to fulfill Jesus' mission, with his own spin on things of course.
English
Today's poll is a free-response instead:
Who is the most important person to have ever lived?
Define "important" in whatever way seems good to you, "significant", "impactful", "likable", whatever. Answers can be serious, satirical, etc; it's just for fun.
Ok, 3,2,1, go!
English
@belltowergames You might say Constantine by that logic. There might be a number of people who were necessary to the rise of Christianity. At that point how do you distinguish any as more important other than picking the originator?
English
@MarcTTG Certainly. A possibly tricky one: who gets the nod, Jesus or Paul? Of course there's no Paul without Jesus, but Paul played a crucial role in spreading the early Jesus movement, arguably THE crucial role.
English
@gengelstein Yeah I drove past one a few weeks ago and it looked like something someone made in their backyard with sheet metal. Or, a car from an early PS1 racing game.
English
I parked near an actual Cybertruck and I can report they look even dumber in person.

happy large-boulder-the-size-of-a-small-boulder day to all those who celebrate

Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area.

@belltowergames Isn't posting about it on a public forum instead of contacting them privately or just ignoring it also petty?
English
For full disclosure, here's the rating I left the game (I've just bumped it up to a "4", reflecting that I might play again, but have no specific plans to).
And BTW, I don't mind someone leaving my games a low rating, it's just BGG, it's not a big thing. But pettiness isn't in
English
Le sigh, apparently there is pettiness in the BG world. Maybe that's not news!
Context: I left a low rating for one of this publisher's games at BGG, reflecting BGG's "want to play" scale -- I didn't like it and don't care to play again.
This is what they did in response:

“I like Samwise, could be a good ring bearer”
“Hasn’t made a move on Rosie”
“So?”
“That means no confidence, plus he’s a little thick on the waist”

Gandalf: Frodo, Caradhras has defeated us. Would you rather take the One Ring by the Gap of Rohan through a land where Saruman has spies everywhere or attempt to pass through the mines of Moria where the dwarves woke the nameless fear, Durin’s Bane?
Frodo:

Frodo: but.. the thing is uh…
Gandalf: you don’t know how to take the ring to Mordor
Frodo: that’s right
Gandalf: Frodo, it’s not that hard, Frodo. tell ‘em Boromir
Boromir: it’s incredibly hard

“Guys, you’re still trying to replace the Eagles. I told you we can’t do that. Now what we might be able to do is re-create them in the aggregate.
Frodo can carry the Ring, but can’t walk 1,700 miles. This is Samwise Gamgee, he can’t carry the Ring, but he can carry Frodo.”

The Moneyball/LotR mashups all over my timeline are the best thing I've seen on this website in years.
