I read it as just an adventure when I was in my teens, and loved it for that, but I was pretty far from woke. I know it would be a different experience now, but I’m not sure if I’m going to bother.  I get that it’s more than just Lawrence of Arabian in spaaace, but it also kind of is Lawrence of Arabia in spaaace.  I…

Perhaps melanivanka is compiling a list of those who have read the book, and simply asks everyone.  I hope to be asked soon.

101

Been looking for that one for years. If I ever find it I'll be able to continue.

You’re messing with me.  No computer has a 10 key.  You just have to press 1 and then 0 like the rest of us.

This piece was actually kind of calming to read. And for anyone who hasn’t read her? Carmen Maria Machado is a brilliant writer.  I’ve only read her short stories, but they’re hella good.

Never heard of Lodge 49. Going to look right now.

Someday Imma rewatch that whole show. But there’s so many other shows in the meantime.

I so worry about waking up in ten years to realize I’ve left a few unnecessary subscriptions running.

I’d seriously be all over this.  Yahtzee worked really well, and we’re going to do Karuba this week.  I think Sagrada might also work well.

You’re projecting because so much of what you said was not correct, old boy.  You made so many assumptions.  That my post was prompted by virus-fears, when I hadn’t even mentioned such a thing.  That I’m American.  That my big concerns are board games.  You came in looking for a person, dressed me in that person’s…

Right. So — I’m weak because I would like to Skype a boardgame with my daughter.

I assume NutsyMcGee just trolls around looking for arguments to pick about this. Funny thing is, if he had actually read my post, the problem I described was being a thousand miles apart rather than worrying about the pandemic.

That’s so cool. The people I mentioned (wife, sons, daughter, daughter’s partner) is exactly the bunch we played it with when we discovered the game at Christmas, so I think we’ll have a go at it.  Thanks for getting back to me.  Stay safe.

What point, shitmouth?

Fuck off, dickwad.

Love that game.  I'll definitely look forward to your update!

I love these articles. Know what I’d like to see? One about how families separated by distance in this time of social isolation can get together and play games. My wife, sons, and I are in Toronto, while my daughter and her partner are in Halifax. We Skyped a game of Yahtzee tonight, and it was great fun. We’re…

Or maybe my point is I’m beyond help.  Abandon me.

I’ve tried this. I really have. The problem is that I want to bounce around and between too much. Do I have ADD? I want to do work stuff, but I want to be able to see all the tabs with personal alerts on them, and I want to switch over and check my email. When I’m in home mode it’s the same thing — I can put out fires…
