Bay 12 Games Forum

Quarto! is my 2 player thinking game I go to. Largely because it's easy to teach/learn, and takes a lot less time than chess.
Also ya, if you look in to a lot of the Euro style games, most of them don't have any random elements. Terra Mystica is a pretty thick game I played recently with no cards, no dice. It's all about shuffling your cubes/discs/people etc. properly, and blocking your opponent where neccesary.

So my roommate found out he might have a solitary kidney while at the doctor for run of the mill food poisoning. He doesn't really have to change anything even if it's true, but he's a little put out by it.

Seeing as I was just recently weirded out by giving blood for a blood test, I can understand this completely. It was part of me, then it wasn't, and they took it, and I had less blood than I did going in. I probably made more. Its weird. Don't judge me.

Also, I dunno how long I've been here. Long enough.

You just passed your 2 years in January, if you actually just don't know how to check it's in your profile, if you just don't care to check too bad, I'm telling you anyways...

Coming on my five year-a-versary on the forums, also two (well, one) post off of 3000.

Also, I think this belongs here? I got anti-anxiety meds from my doctor today. It's been getting so that I have trouble going out with the kids places, so it's needed I think, and I have nothing against meds, I just have this thing where I'm always afraid I didn't give the doctor the right information and I've been misdiagnosed and stuff... Anyways, hopefully in a few weeks I'll be posting a happy of about how well I'm doing on them.

Mormons came by unexpectedly in ~30 degree weather to spread the word of mormon stuff. Me being me, caught in an unexpected situation requiring me to talk to people, it was an awkward couple minutes before I shooed them off. Ugh. Probably could've handled that better.

It get's better in time with practice. In fact yesterday, I shooed away someone asking if I'd "locked in my hydro rates blah blah wakka wakka" in about 10 seconds flat. "nope, sorry, don't wanna discuss, bai" *door shut*.
Reminds me of the time my poor brother got stuck talking to the Jehova's witnesses for approx. 30 minutes.

It's really dumb and not at all hard to understand.
If you look at what the colours are they're light blue and brown. If your brain compensation for the filter it's a darker blue and black.

Problem solved. We can all go home.

The thing is, when the brain DOES compensate the other way, it's a bit strange. First time I saw it my brain said "yup, that dress is pure white with a harvest-gold trim, carry on". Now that I've taken time to actually look at it, my brain has figured out what colours they actually are. It's a neat illusion, but just that.

Edit: Oh god damn it, there I go talking about it now...

All of the sads for this.
