I think if I ran a fast food restaurant, I would charge a premium for meat from the right side of the animal, just to watch people argue about why it was better.

If your setup to the Monte Hall problem says "the host -decides- to open another door," then your proof is worthless.

Hobby game publishers: "Players inherently understand what a snake draft is." Also: "No amount of words is sufficient to explain how a dealer button works."

@cheapassjames I modified Lords of Vegas to work as a solitaire game, but it doesn't work very well. Clearly the original designer's fault.

But also? If I could afford it, I'd give more and more games away for free. Cheapass Games, we need you more than ever now. (@cheapassjames) We need a BandCamp of board games, basically.

Real talk: I'm beginning to get very tired of the board game industry as a whole. Yes, it's my fault for being on Facebook, and yes, everything deserves to be pretty. You can't fault the market for doing what works BUT

How long is appropriate to string along a scammer pretending to be a cute girl who wants me to invest in crypto? Two weeks? Longer? Asking for a friend.
