@joshuahoover @hbomax “Do you REALLY wanna press pause!?!?!?” But seriously, it’s the most expensive one out there and so much worse than any of the other apps.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

I’m amazed every time I use the @hbomax app at how bad it is. It regularly crashes, or makes me wait 5-10 seconds to respond to buttons being pressed. It doesn’t matter what content they have if I can’t actually play it.

I’ve enjoyed Catapult Kingdoms 2-player. (I didn’t like siege mode 3-player as much, because we weren’t good, so what we hit was pretty random; and the hitting a brick rule didn’t make sense in a 3-player context). May pick up another core to play it 3-4 player in non-siege.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

This faceless figure in my copy of Catapult Kingdoms is at least somewhat creepy (and reminiscent of Scream). 😂

I’m not going to write a treatise on representation in games or anything, as other people have already talked about it, but I will share that my little girl always wants to play a female character, and is more willing to play a game that has one. And I buy games my kids will play

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

@scooterb23 I haven't been able to find a comprehensive FAQ for the game for whatever reason, so maybe you can answer another one for me? If I can't complete a full ability, do I just do what I can, or can I not do it at all? For instance, if I'm supposed to put 2 on my bench and have 1 spot

Just learning Pokémon, and clearly I’m missing something. Why would I use the basic attack on this guy?

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

@joshuahoover May I avoid the compulsion to try! 🥺

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

I’m going through piles of things I own and re-discovering neat things that I have that I obviously don’t use. One is this set of wooden playing cards. Anyone want to buy them or trade for them? I feel like someone else would love them more than I have.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

@sumfatkid Yeah, I was thinking about posting them in my local buy nothing group and favoring anyone that would actually play them.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

What's your best place for getting rid of games you want to clear out? I feel like they're "worth" enough I don't want to just donate them, but they also don't seem like they would sell for enough to be worth a meetup (for a one-off game). Ideas?

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

@jimgetz Yep. To be fair, with Gloomhaven, I find the character development part of it to be critical to my enjoyment. I didn't care much for Jaws of the Lion, because I felt like that part was a bit flat.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

I had an interesting realization this morning that several of my favorite games I didn't like after the first play. Hmm.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

@sumfatkid 0. I liked it from reading the rulebook. :D

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

Anyone East Coastish back the KS of Kingdom Rush with random extras and decide it wasn’t for them and interested in trading it to me? I’m curious to try it before the next KS drops if I can.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

Random number generator picked 8. That means @charlespolman . I’ll send you a DM.

[Josh Edwards @BGJosh]

Anyone want a Steam key for the LotR card game? I got one in my collectors edition box, but already had the game. If you want it, reply and I’ll randomly pick someone to DM the picture of the code to.
