Paco Hope #resistWe gave <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@nicholas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicholas</a> “<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MontyPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontyPython</a> Fluxx”. It’s basically regular Fluxx but with Python themes. It’s funny. Thanks to the “I want to sing,” card we are also singing some Monty python song each turn. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgames</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cardgames</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/boardgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgame</a>

:ms_robot_grin: la .samflir. :ms_robot_pats:There's a new board game on my website!<a href="https://samflir.neocities.org/center" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://samflir.neocities.org/center</a>This is an implementation of the "Center" board game, in which you have to try to play on the centre square by advancing inwards from the perimeter, using your existing stones to support your next. The good bot is very good, it consistently beats me even with very low time limits.I implemented this using the "vibe coding" technique where I just asked AI to do all the coding and editing. None of the code was typed by me, it was all done by asking Claude 3.7 Thinking to make changes. There's some usability rough edges but I'm very impressed by how well it implemented this idea.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/BoardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardGame</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardGames</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/neocities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neocities</a>

Jonathan Arnold 🇺🇦R's boyfriend came over last night, necessitating a quick trip to the grocery store to buy more burgers. But I didn't engage with him when he asked about the <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/boardgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgame</a> I had set up at the dining room table (Vagrantsong). He also asked about my ROG Ally. He's a gamer, so he was interested in the Windows handheld. But I wasn't feeling very interactive, so I didn't elaborate, which made me feel bad. Hopefully, I can make it up to him soon.

Games for Music wiki / G4MAnother recurring idea for a <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/musicGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musicGame</a> is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves.

The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/tabletop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tabletop</a> representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/eurogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurogame</a>-adjacent potential.
