The Gaming Den

For the time being, pollution is dropping.

We're deciding to stay home (yay!). Sadly, I'm giving the cat about 50-50 odds on making it through this. She does love being by us, though, which is good. We're trying to play at least one playthorugh on every board and card game we have in our gaming closet this week as a family. We started right ...

That's mostly how I feel. Even before all this, I've always been the type of person who appreciates a good stay-cation. Of course, being out in the middle of nowhere, I have very little I can offer the cat to help her get better.

March break starts for us next week (or I guess, this afternoon). All of Ontario schools (which excludes First Nations communities) have canceled school for the two weeks following March break. Our school hasn't said they're doing that. My wife originally wanted to go to Winnipeg for March break, an...

People always call him a turtle, but this is frighteningly more accurate.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKbKgFfW4AElogG?format=jpg&name=medium A literal reading of that says that Terry killed his friend "immediately after", or before the pot could have any effect. Maybe Terry is a crazy fuck and his friend wanted him to "just relax" but was too late...

Manually typing in tags on TGDMB is about the most mentally taxing thing I do on any given day It's... fun now though, like a hacking video game. 10 years ago it would be 'outdated design' but today everything is ultra convenient no brain clicking, so the act of typing a tag is amusement It's just ...

My parents flew up for my 40th birthday! They made it in safely yesterday. https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/75564556_10159418752796164_4240724642190327808_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ohc=DRZJeR-r524AQl8cX3nGr-JM_w78Nic6c96hRzXkBcBoZB6XfeuPK09mQ&_nc_ht=scontent-yyz1-1.xx&oh=b554b9c...

not to mention that SVU without Stabler is just a sad farce. Of course, "cowboy cop who frequently breaks rules to Get Shit Done" probably isn't the best narrative to be pushing, either. I'm pretty sure his team and boss cover for his blatant law-breaking more than once. I remember one pa...

Wouldn't this be where suspension of disbelief would come in? I think most people recognize that the behaviors shown in fiction don't really relect how the real world work. On a related note, it's these scenarios from the films that libertarians use to fuel their paranoia that drives their need to ...

It's based on this meme template:



Typically the woman is upset about something and the cat says something antagonistic.

When I saw the title, I thought this thread was going to be about getting rid of cool things PCs can do.

Is he citing a hypothetical scenario as evidence o0? I think this type of thing is common with conservatives. I remember friends of a friend on Facebook all going on about Obama not stepping down and giving himself a third term. ...Yet, that never happened and their orange messiah has repeatedly &q...

Over a year ago, we left the states and moved to rural Ontario, in a First Nations community. My wife teaches the grade 1-4 class with 14 students. starting this year, I’ve been her full-time TA. It’s been something to get used to, but my wife is solid on class management. I’ve largely gotten into t...

I tend to picture people tricking people into bad bets, like hustling someone at pool, or something.

I was on another forum when the old Dilbert comics got brought up. I linked to MRA Dilbert (the blog where they take Dilbert comics and replace the text with direct quotes from Scott Adams' own shitty blog). I found this gem. Holy fuck it didn't age well! https://66.media.tumblr.com/d29e41dc488b9433...

Sexy ghillie suit?

I watched it when I was 14 (thought it was the best thing ever), and my 7-year-old brother was allowed to watch it. We'd run around the back yard with his air rifle (which was lever action, like the shotgun) trying to cock it by spinning it. It's a miracle no wrists were broken. My fundamentalist st...

I feel extra dirty reading that from a First Nations community.

Which parts do you think are worth scavenging, and which games do it better?
