Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: “You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!”
In our first game of Clank Legacy, we thought that as long as you died above the Line of No Return, or whatever it’s called, you got points, regardless of whether you had an artifact or not. This had…implications for some of the story choices that we made.

It's really easy to learn, quick to play, and has some strategy to it.English3·2 years agoI have a great memory at PAX of playing life-size Tsuro, where the players are the pieces. Good fun :)
I have never heard of this game, but the word “Fearamid” is doing a good job of convincing me
When I toured the concentration camp at Dachau some years ago, the tour guide was very clear on this point: people did elect the Nazis.
In 1932, the Nazi party became the largest party in the German parliament, with 37.3% of the vote. It is true that it was not mandatory to make Hitler chancellor, but as the head of the largest party, it would have been expected.
The Nazi party received massive support in democratic elections, where the expectation of the voters would have been that if the Nazi party gained enough seats, Hitler would become chancellor.
This is an important point to me, as it shows that it is possible for democratic elections to result in a fascist government that dismantles democracy. Ignoring this historical example prevents us from applying the lesson to new situations.
