I said fresh, not Todd Howard’s prototype

More worrying is that he mentions how long you can support a game, so I guess we’re just gonna say that 12+ years between games is normal.

I just started reading the pathfinder 2e core book. It’s really interesting compared against 5e. I’d like to convince my group to give it a try, but I’m running Deathwatch right now, then there’s 2 or 3 other campaigns lined up before the DM hat will get back around to me, so it might be a minute before I get around to actually playing it.

Jeez, when you play a board game you really decided it’s an all day event. Both Arkham Horror and Twilight Imperium take forever every time I’ve played them

Ooh, we picked up the digital version of Scythe because it was a few dollars during a Steam sale, we’ve only played one game so far, but it almost immediately jumped onto our list of games we’re planning on buying.

We’ve got 20 or so devs and some infrequent contributors commiting to a pair of mono-repos, with some extra steps between them.

Our process looks like this:

• develop on a feature branch
• get two or more reviewers, sometimes devs that you’ve been talking with about the design, but if you don’t know who we have a list of devs for different product areas.
• only our newest stuff has auto-linting, otherwise style and static code analysis is all manual, but we’re trying to automate as we go
• need at least one approval to merge, not by any got rules, just by convention

All the code reviews are asynchronous, we’re a distributed team so we don’t like sit down in a room to talk about it, just comments on the PR.

Sometimes however you find a fix so small, you just commit and push to master. I’m not really in favor of that, but it happens.

Yeah, I wasn’t really gonna lean into it, but I was kinda put off by both their RMAH in D3, and sort of worrying treatment of their developers, crunch and all that. I figured they’d keep being greedy and grinding their developers to the bone so I’m not super interested in supporting those practices.

My partner and I love playing Wingspan. A game about bird may not sound great but it’s full of strategy without being too hard to pick up. It’s competitive, but just total points at the end, you can’t screw each other up during play.

Great sculpts, but fantastic paint job! I love the glare on the goggles on the 2nd from the left mini

Diablo 1 and 2 were nice, D3 kinda felt like a Diablo theme park, like I never felt challenged. So I didn’t get excited about D4, and haven’t gotten it. Nothing I’ve read is really making me rethink that decision.
