Ever since I heard that @JanorMannWen had bought a copy of our game Perilous Pond, I've felt a bit bad that I hadn't manage to get his #18xx game 18SJ to the table. Yesterday we finally managed to get it set up and learn (most of) the rules!

Yes. Programming is not Bottlenecked by Typing Text. If yours is, you're not doing Programming. You're just Typing Text. It's not about remembering What Text to Type. It's about Understanding the Problem you are Solving.

Ruff in the Jungle bizness and out of space are just so great imo

@chessandpoker boardgamemanufacturers.info lists a couple manufacturers in the US. So I think there are some. And for wxample Ludo Fact seems to have an American branch (at least in Europe they prefer sourcing local components)

Why aren't there any full-scale board game manufacturers in North America? Or are there? 🤔 I understand they'd likely not be able to offer as wide an array of services as the big players overseas, and couldn't take on smaller clients etc but.. No flagship facilities?? 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

@GigaBasedDad Look, a three-headed monkey!

Hi Lea! Nice of you to pile on. I have absolutely nothing against gender neutral language. I am however against outsiders doing drive-by PRs with ideological motivations. If a regular contributor hade made these edits, I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. Could I have communicated this better in 2021? You bet. And FWIW my post today was unrelated to anything happening on Mastodon. I only learned about it when people started harassing my friends and coworkers.

When I saw @awesomekling’s post about Mastodon vs Twitter in my feed I thought “Hmm, I enjoy both” and moved on. A bit later, I read a few toots and pieced the context together. TL;DR: People todaynoticed that in 2021 @awesomekling closed a PR¹ with this tiny change: The reason given: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.” Lolwut? My dude, using “he” accidentally for someone of unknown gender happens to many of us. But doubling down on it is advertising YOUR personal politics. The singular “they” has been in use since the 14th century² and is the correct way to refer to someone of unknown gender. Educate yourself ffs. If you still don’t get it, maybe try to imagine reading these instructions if they used “she”. Such a bummer. I, like many others, was excited to see an independent browser being developed. Why can’t we have nice things? 😔 ¹ The PR: github.com/SerenityOS/ser… ² en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_…

18SJ again. 3 games in and 2 bankruptcies already! Truly, this game is a gem. Michal tried to shake things up by starting almost all remaining companies at the lowest value, but it only added to the intrigue. Bankruptcy was inevitable 😆
