"I’m done with letting people make me feel I should be quiet or making me feel uncomfortable speaking about what we’re now calling politics, which is life and death, rape, genocide, stealing from people."
My friend invited me to his "casual game night."
I thought that meant snacks and maybe Uno.
He dimmed the lights, pulled out a whiteboard, and said, "We'll start with Catan, obviously."
Obviously.
Within 20 minutes, three grown adults were accusing each other of "sheep hoarding" with the intensity of a custody battle.
One guy slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "You broke our wheat alliance, Trevor."
I don't even know Trevor.
I'm just trying to figure out why there's a resource called "ore" and why I'm emotionally invested in it.
At one point, someone looked me dead in the eye and asked if I wanted to trade wood.
I haven't recovered.
We finished at midnight and my friend said, "Next time we'll do something light, like Twilight Imperium."
I Googled it.
That's not a board game.
That's a part-time job with lore.

Raymond Theodore Robinson was a disfigured American man whose years of nighttime walks made him into a figure of urban legend in western Pennsylvania.
Raymond Robinson was eight years old when he was injured by an electrical line as he climbed a pole and reached for a bird's nest on the Morado Bridge, outside of Beaver Falls.
The bridge carried a trolley and had electrical lines of both 1,200 and 22,000 Volts, which were responsible for the death of another boy less than a year earlier.
Robinson survived, defying doctors' expectations, but he was severely disfigured: he lost his eyes, nose, and right arm.
Robinson was so severely injured from his childhood electrical accident that he could not go out in public without fear of causing a panic, so he went for long walks at night.
Local tourists would drive along his road in hopes of meeting the Green Man or Charlie No-Face; they became disappointed to see no such person.
However, they passed on tales about him to their children and grandchildren regardless, and people raised on these tales are sometimes surprised to discover that he was a real person who was liked by his family and neighbors.
He stopped his walks during the last years of his life, and retired to the Beaver County Geriatric Center, where he died in 1985 at the age of 74.

The eyes of an electrician after being zapped by 14,000 volts of electricity.
His shoulder touched a live wire and the current passed through his entire body, including the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain.
The effect was two bizarre star-shaped electrical burns in his eyes, according to The New England Journal of Medicine.
