I recently played a new board games called Bad Bones which owns a lot. It's a combination of competitive and vs. endless hordes of skeletons who gently caress up your village. Very addictive even though I keep getting beaten. Also hooray for boozy work lunch. I dunno why but the restaurant offered us free shots of good rum so I'm kinda fuzzy right now.

Tenebrais posted:This is a pretty dated analysis. Board games have come a long way in the last couple of decades. It's a pretty spot analysis, how can you say a Eurogame is both light themed and all production chains/trade routes? Not all engine builders are Euro games and not all Eurogames are engine builders. What kind of engine am I building in Adrenaline, Alchemists, Flamme Rouge etc? But they're all Eurogames. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Aug 22, 2019 |

Although I find that being hungover makes it a lot harder to sleep, so I'm hosed either way God, booze is such a lovely drug. The minutest amount will make you (me) feel like poo poo before long and the only way to escape that is to, y'know, keep drinking It's probably impossible to create a GABAergic drug that doesn't cause horrendous physical and mental addiction but I'd sure like someone to give it a go

Yeah even when I was young I would feel like poo poo if I got actually drunk during the day and then sobered up. This can be avoided by having a nap after your drinks. Or just not stopping drinking.

The trick is more intake, as soon as you start slowing down and getting sensible it starts to gently caress you up. Get wrecked and stay wrecked basically.

Like the hangover kicks in and you spend the rest of the day feeling muzzy and headachey I dunno, I kinda just feel slow and fuzzy but in a good way. But then I only had 2 glasses of wine and 2 shots of rum (I can't tell anymore if that's a lot?). Also it's my colleague's leaving drinks this afternoon so I might as well start as I mean to finish. My usual problem is that this tends to lead to maxi unhealthy kebab dinners, or expensive deliveroo because I'm too drunk and/or tired when I get home.

Like the hangover kicks in and you spend the rest of the day feeling muzzy and headachey It's sometimes known as a "4 pint" hangover. For example, you go to the pub on a Saturday lunchtime to watch a match. While you're there, you drink 4 pints. You return home slightly tipsy, drink nothing further and by 5pm you're slumped on the sofa feeling drowsy, headachey and irritable. (I avoid these by never stopping drinking, once I've started.)

I like the sound of the Euro game design, one of the things I hated on Caravan Holidays as a wee 'un was getting eliminated from competitive games by my brothers, and then having to sit there bored for the rest of the evening to be 'polite.' I may be getting Elder Sign confused with A Study in Emerald, but I think it was Elder Sign - there's no DM required, so it's basically the players vs the game's inherent mechanics, and I'd like to see more of that sort of thing. One of the most sobering experiences of my early teens was getting Games Workshop's Mighty Empires and being so excited by the hex board, and the castles and the freaking dragon. Then my dad came out of the bedroom, sunburnt and defeated and threw the rulebook down and said in a small voice "I can't understand how this works, sorry." Although the year before that I got Space Hulk and holy poo poo was that fun. Also got slightly burned out on 40k after my brother and I collected a huge Space Marine army*, my little brother bought a ton as well because he had no idea what he was doing but was young enough to desperately want to be part of whatever we were doing. Then they lost interest and I was terrible at strategy but spent most of my time being the guy with 8,000 points of space marines that could be stomped by five different armies every saturday. Now I get my revenge by occasionally booting up Dawn of War skirmish mode against eight easy opponents and stomping the gently caress out of them with necrons. I am a tiny, petty man. * dark angels

The last time I did day drinking I got home around 6-7 and shortly after went to bed because I couldn't handle it anymore. Woke up nice and early the next day feeling refreshed.

Although if it wasn't just a 'no hangover' substitute but also a 'no semi-permanently destroying your glutamate/GABA system' then I would be astonished. Not that I'm an expert or nothing. The garbage Psychoactive Substances Act gave the plan a setback by banning everything except specifically named alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine, like they deliberately picked the shittest depressant, hallucinogen, and stimulant available, but he went to Germany to look for investment and alcarelle is still based in London and doing ongoing research.
