Yeah, my partner’s kid really enjoys being the one to read out board game instructions, and it’s …not the best way for me to absorb information…
But, he enjoys the fuck out of it, so whatever. As long as I have access to the printed rules during my first playthrough, I’ll be fine.





Makes me think of the time I was running a stripped down laptop motherboard as a server for a while. Was given a laptop with a broken screen, but it had a wired NIC, so I pulled the screen off, along with any other component that wasn’t necessary, and shoved it behind a TV where it was close to the router. Ran on that thing for years before being able to afford better equipment.
An underrated feature of the laptop server: built-in UPS!
