Wow, thank you so much for all the recommendations! I sometimes feel like I don’t know how to watch certain kinds of movies (e.g., older movies, or more artsy movies). I hope reading up a bit will help me appreciate them more

Do you have a recommendation for a book that’ll turn me into a cinephile?

I was playing around with Quarto, which is not as mature as Hugo but seems a bit more approachable (it has great integration with Rstudio, for example)

Another option is using poker chips, such as the Iron Clays.

I recently used an IKEA portable induction stove in an Airbnb, and did not like it at all. It was very powerful, but basically had only two settings: super high or off. You could adjust it, but that would just mean it cycled more often between super high and off

I’ve been using Double Commander for years and I love it, but the UI takes some getting used to (and the default settings aren’t great).

If you enjoy roll and move, and playing to find out what happens, check out Talisman!

O wait there is! It works totally different though, it’s not the ticking time bomb

It’s good! It’s basically exactly what you’re describing: a paired down dice version of the original. It plays a lot faster, which is a big plus, and it’s rules are simpler. You do lose something in the process, some of my friends missed all the shenanigans with guns, horses, and TNT

I’ve had great success with LLAMA. It’s very easy to learn, quick to play, works well with 3 to 6 players, and has a lot of luck but there’s also some strategy to it
