I love random conversion stuff. But it always makes me worried when USB is so often the core. I really think exposing the serial bus and power simultaneously to the user in a simple plug and basically hoping it doesn’t blow up.

I now have even more reasons to go into Costco if it crosses a Teamsters picket.

I’m supposed to care about people who are impossibly rich whining about things? In '01, it made perfect sense. But the recent one? Good for them.

Not the Boo Box!

They had to have meant Space Marines.

I don’t know where you are in the USA, but in my area, home-school kids are tested the same as the kids in the classrooms, and if they fail, they’re put back in a remedial classroom.

That keeps the real troublemakers out of the classroom, and reduces the student:teacher ratio. I’m honestly struggling to see anything resembling a downside here.

With all the studies of games in the world, I’m amazed there hasn’t been any attempt to figure it out. Given that it’s Greek, my immediate guess from the board and illustration is that it’s a 2-player worker-placement game. The lower board indicates resources based on the color of the circles/spaces, and the upper board with the cones are the advanced resource generators - so you want to basically place workers in the lower circles to put the cones on your side of the board.

That may be opposite - rather that you had cones and they impact the circles.

Given that only the four cones were found, either the other pieces were too valuable to be left, or somehow you’d move the cones from one board to the other (since I’m seeing two separate phases of play).

Just as a note: I’m not a boardgame designer, but I am an avid player of multiple genres of board game.

Sorry, old terminology strikes again. I call any thin portable computer without an ODD or FDD a netbook; because all the damn things are good for is getting on the Internet. My actual laptop, I’ve had to do physical modding to the case to give it an ODD (and it still uses a USB port because of laziness).

Now i need to know what game that is. Because it genuinely looks like fun.

Very much the opposite. The only broken USB port I’ve ever had was a USB-C port for a netbook charger.

My NDS plug (and 3DS plug) stays in so firmly I’ve had to tug on it. Are we living in Bizarro-land from each other?

Let me guess - that way you’re a mile away, and you have their shoes?

Lucky you. My experience has been the opposite.

True, I’m an evolved omnivore who still requires meat proteins to properly function.

Find me a USB-C that doesn’t fall out. Every Micro-USB male plug that I’ve used has those two notches at the bottom that hold it in place. Every device I’ve had with USB-C, I have to treat it like it’s super delicate while it charges.

If they’re cheaper, I’d consider it. After all, it’s not like McDonald’s sells a lot of actual meat. Not going to give up meat, but fast-food vegetables that actually taste decent would be an interesting change.

So you want to be Koudelka?

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the Giant Claw, The Horror of Party Beach, Them!, The Deadly Mantis and others would like a word about how their death counts and destruction are overlooked. So would the various American Godzilla movies, and Cloverfield.

The biggest difference is that the Army moves fast in US movies, where the JSDF is always waiting until the last possible moment.
