Downside is Catan is fucking boring. It’s one of those games where most of the time you’re stuck waiting for your next turn. 5-6 player add on just makes the game infinitely worse. Out of the expansions, Seafarers is nice since it gives you more to do, tho the standalone Starfarers is my go to pick if I gotta play Catan since it sorta has the best parts of all expansions plus random encounters and a more even start. I also like that in the 5-6 player mode 2 players take their turns simultaneously. Tho Catan still isn’t my go-to of board games.

Here’s some suggestions, just games I find I get lots of play out of and people are always willing to play.

Dune Imperium is probably my favorite. It’s a deck builder with worker placement. It’s got a lot of different strategies you can take to win, there’s not one set way. Dune Imperium: Uprising is an updated (for the 2nd movie) version of the game that fixes some things from the first one, tho I think I still prefer the original. This one is a bit more serious, but I’m including it because it’s my favorite.

Everdell is a great game and very easy to get into. Mostly worker placement with some engine building. Cute theme and it looks great on the table. Definitely recommend giving it a look. Avoid the expansions when buying, they might add too much to the gameplay. There is an updated version Everdell: Farshore, which I’ve heard is better, tho I haven’t played it.

Clank! And any in that series are also super friendly and easy to get into. It’s a dungeon exploration deck builder. Personally I’d recommend going with Clank! Catacombs, which is the updated version that adds a tile based map so each play through is a little different. I have not played Clank! In Space or any of the others.

7 Wonders is a fun pick and pass type game. You build up your city and try to win via military, economic, or scientific power. Easy to pick up, and has more strategy in it than first glance. The 2-player version 7 Wonders: Duel has to be my favorite 2 player game. Note on Duel, if you get it, the only expansion I’d pick up is Agora, Pantheon just isn’t as impactful.

Black Hole Rainbows, absolutely ridiculous game, everyone scoffs at it at first and then has a stupid good time playing it. It’s stupidly colorful and definitely over produced but that’s part of the charm. If you can find a copy, buy it. Hard to get right now.

The Crew is solid.

The Gang too, which is sorta similar. I’ll bring a bag of board games and only end up playing The Gang all night if it comes out too early.

Me and my friends are terrible at that game apparently. Our poor Legacy game world…

Loved my PSP when it still worked. Size-wise, I personally think the Gameboy SP was the perfect sized handheld. That thing could fit in any pocket easily and it had a backlight.

It would sound like “twu” as in “twu wuv”

Growing up, my neighbor had that on Atari. We could never figure out how the hell to play that game.

Fuck you. Both are good.

Also want to know. I saw there was hype for the sex update but like who gives af if it doesn’t improve gameplay. It was fun for the first play through, but it’s gotta be something good to come back to.

Don’t think so. I just think he’s had some swingers hit him up thinking he’s into it. He thinks it’s pretty funny now.

If you look at the dudes house he’s got pineapples everywhere, like art pieces and stuff, so it’s pretty on brand for him.

My buddy got a pineapple tattooed on his arm that appears upside down when his arm hangs down. He was not aware of the meaning it carried. 😂

You mean the actor? /s

We also got the worst version of Windows ever, ME. Tho maybe with all the BS they’ve done with 11 that might change.

Kinda I guess. It was about clocks rolling over from 1999 to 2000 and causing a buffer overflow that would supposedly crash all systems everywhere causing the country to come to a hault.

Because they make more money on licensing than selling the digital copies. Companies that offer a purchase option, like Amazon, usually only sell you the right to access the media through their platform and offer no way to take it out.

Now as time has shown us they can take that away as well as you don’t actually own the digital content you purchased. For example Sony pulled titles that people bought and thought they owned from their store and offered no way to download the content.

It’s just more bullshit and corporate greed. Part of why companies aren’t selling physical media anymore is because if you can’t own something they can keep charging you for access to that thing and infinitely double dip.

This doesn’t address your issue specifically because I haven’t tried personally to use wireguard on my home server. Personally however I’ve been using Tailscale to connect to my home network remotely for DNS redirects through Pihole and to connect to my self-hosted services. I found Tailscale pretty easy to setup. If you can’t get Wireguard figured out you might give it a look as an alternative.

When life gives you lemmings…

I use Pihole to filter ads network wide. I also have Tailscale setup so I can route all my DNS requests through my home network and filter mobile ads as well.

Fuck ads.

The argument was undoubtedly put forward by someone selling ads.
