As someone who has two packs of that in his pantry right now, that stuff is awesome.

I have a theory that people seek what they’re missing in their lives through their hobbies.

Specifically, in my own life I’ve noticed that the times I’ve gone deep into rich, complicated, and demanding hobbies, are the times when I’ve felt understimulated at school or work.

Conversely, at times when I’ve felt overstimulated at school or work I only want to watch TV or play simple party games to unwind or destress.

I am curious if other people feel this way.

I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!

What I do nowadays when I want to introduce a new game, is 1) watch a tutorial video when I’m alone, 2) watch the tutorial video again while still alone, and then 3) watch the tutorial video a third time with the group.

I find that I usually mostly understand the rules at that point. No one else does, since it is still really hard even with the video and they’ve only seen it once, but they at least know basically what the game is and I jump in to help everyone through their first few turns.

(I am a native English speaker with excellent reading comprehension skills, and even so, it’s just a lot to take in all at once)

I like Sushi Go (specifically Sushi Go Party for variety), Hanabi, and King of Tokyo.

So what you’re saying is, it is true that I will no longer have French installed.

I could see the US Digital Service doing this. They’re pretty solid.

“Pokemon: Jirachi, Wish Maker” for me. It had this really creepy Groudon with tentacles.
