Two office buildings along the freeway that are shaped like Jawa Sandcrawlers.

What an idiot. Flag burning ceremonies have always been the recommended respectful way of disposing of an old flag. Boy Scout troops often provide this as a service.

I love macs. I've owned macbooks for decades and carried them with me every day. I think that my next laptop might be a PC now that Apple has bent the knee to the fascists.

Worldcon, I’m coming for you!

For Memorial Day, see Article 8 of the US Flag code. Note that the flag should never be worn on clothing (don't sweat all over it), used on disposable items (don't throw the flag in the trash), changed in any way (like black/blue stripes), or used in advertising.

I'm on mission 2 of the Bulge expansion. Very different experience. Missions/Terrain are much more curated (less random), more difficult and, in some cases, more difficult to figure out rules-wise.

My experience was similar. I actually found the Keep up the Fire standalone mission to be more difficult than the Normandy missions. I think 90% of my units were veterans by mission 4 of Normandy.

Patiently waiting for my copy from P500. Wait, not patiently. Already working on a solo bot (I like bots that require no player decision-making).

Assuming Elphaba's cape gives her a terminal velocity of around 120 mph, the tower she falls from must be at least a mile and a half high.

HISBOT Bot Decks for all Major Here I Stand Powers | Here I Stand: 500th Anniversary Edition HISBOT Bot Decks for all Major Here I Stand Powers | Here I Stand: 500th Anniversary Edition

I created Bot decks for each of the major powers i Here I Stand. They can be used to play solo against 5 other powers or to fill in missing players. boardgamegeek.com/filepage/295...

#boardgames #wargame #gmtgames

These decks are now available on BoardGameGeek under the 500th Anniversary Edition of Here I Stand, in the Files section.

Decks for all the powers and full rules for using them uploaded to BGG but awaiting moderator approval. Cards and almost unreadable rules available as "HISBOT" in Tabletop Simulator workshop on Steam. Finished initial playtest - Protestant bot won the last game (I was France).

Each power has a behavior deck to determine what deals they negotiate, who they attack, and how they spend CPs. I'll be posting the HISBOT cards/rules on Board Game Geek this week. My move on Florence failed, of course.

Playing as France right now against 5 bots and I'm about to make my move on Florence. I'm sure it will be fine.

Jealous. I've only played three full games, and the last one was probably 15 years ago. Still probably my favorite board game ever. I miss it so much I'm working on bot rules and behavior decks for each of the major powers so we can play with any number of human players.

A lot of boomers put a fascist in the White House because they didn't want to learn any new pronouns.

Congressional republicans have worked hard to give wealth more power than government, and now they seem upset that they succeeded.

What if much younger me, working hard in college and his early career and looking forward to great things, knew that one of the greatest things would be coloring Hello Kitty with his granddaughter?
