has anyone written about the process of conversational repair in analog games? specifically thinking about stuff like:
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."

i find it fascinating how the discussion around this has focused on some combination of:
- competitive play
- moral judgments (in one direction or the other)
- cheating

Ugh yeah that's a fucker. Best of luck out there homie. I saw you mention maybe making an insta and based on what my single friends say that's pretty much a requirement. They're spending a lot of energy flirting in there

gd its grim out there for the lads. Honestly, I think guys should get off dating apps at all costs, or, well, actually the apps aren't so bad if they're a supplement to regular Going Out Community Building Relationship Stuff like clubs and the like, the real play is someone recognizes you THEN swipe

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

just struggling to imagine guys who are still mad about mirrors edge having a girl in it went too hard in the paint for this. At best this means a rogue DOGE guy scurried into the ear of whatever demon runs ea and went grima wormtongue on his shit, but prolly Nel'ztch came to it from first principle

you see a lot of companies saying stuff like this and then I think about the kind of people in charge of pulling games like this and I start to wonder who really got offended you know what I mean

I'm in the blue here. I should have finished this by extending the cross out to the right to hold the line in case my barefooted homie's attack was a little more committed, or I could have stepped off-line to the left too but I like the footwork and conditioning I'm doing generally.

There was a beat where I decided what I was doing tonight was more left side work to counter my homie's lefty stance and doing all these awkward strikes and thrusts but still finding the mechanics and tactics paying out was cool.

this feels awesome btw even when I'm fucking everything up or tripping over my own feet cause you can see the little meters going up and know a big level up is coming. Just about every piece of advice is transformative and I can see my winrate improve real time, its an exciting time!

I'm in a really awkward phase with swords right now where my early advantages in aggression and daring is having to give way to my ability to feint and mindgames while my core skills transfer from awkward Newbie to Structured Footwork which means everything feels worse even if I'm KICKIN ASS plenty

he's a popular and attractive brown leftist on twitch so he shows up every time the right gets bored and want to do an Outrage. Recently they accused him of shocking his dog.

Just played the demo for Skate Story and this is one of the best skate games Ive played in a very long time. The vibes are absolutely on point and the skating feels fluid with enough roughness to be challenging. Cannot wait to see this drop

big dog sounding rough

late to HEMA cause a bunch of bozos made the road sentient and now a creature a quadrillion miles long and six inches flat is howling at the scarred god she enraptures, pleading for life or death or some other undiscovered third thing, her limbs crumbling under the collective weight of the world
