Glad to hear you can still get it! i’m not surprised, because they just released the Jr. version, so they’ll no doubt have a lot more eyes on the OG.

Thanks, Josh! i think that’s the very first HTP i ever made. i finally sprung for the fancy Awaken Realms version after demonstrating to my wife Cheryl through BGStats that it’s our #1 most played game!

i’ve never played Gaia Project, but based on all the comments i’ve received over the years, most players who have played both games seem to prefer it to Terra Mystica. Fans of these games also have great things to say about Age of Innovation.

@@NightsAroundaTable Thank you! I'll also check out Age of Innovation.

You're correct! KZfaq doesn't have a graceful way for folks like me to edit our videos after the fact, so my best (worst) solution is to add a "card" on the screen and link people to the NAaT website where i keep track of flubs. But viewers who have those card overlays turned off (possibly you?) will miss them. Sigh. Anyway, fwiw, the error was captured on the video's addenda section a while back. i apologize that i don't have a better way to indicate this type of thing. nightsaroundatable.com/2022/05/20/how-to-play-on-mars/

@@NightsAroundaTable Ryan - sorry, I am late to the game and I did not realize you had corrected it. If it was not for you I don't think I ever would have learned this game (or Anachrony). I really appreciate your tutorials!

Very possibly. That’s what recent comments would have me believe. Thanks for the tip about the jelly… my wife often uses it on cuts too.

Oh, no - my name is Ryan.

If you dial down your petulance a bit, is there something specific i can help you with?

​@@NightsAroundaTable I keep trying this game with same faction and just lose immediately

​@@NightsAroundaTable So no help with that, huh?

@@coltonbeatty6117 The game takes a couple of hours to play, so what do you mean by "immediately"? Which faction are you trying? And are you playing this with other people, or online? Against humans, or robots?

@@NightsAroundaTable I mean it's obvious pretty soon into the game that there isn't a viable way forward or any big push coming later that could at least put me in serious contention. I play against people as the Giants.

It’s not too bad! But what level of complexity are you comfortable with?

Did you dress them in chocolate? They sound scrumptious!

1 i got it on Amazon 2 check my OnlyFans

i had never heard of him! What do you know him from?

So happy to help! i hope you had fun.

use moar laser

Great! Post a video. (Also, these are not skin tags.)

Yes. And consequently, the King’s dungeon has a new permanent resident.

@@NightsAroundaTable 😂 . . . I still very much appreciate your effort in this video. This is now my go-to when I need my friends to watch a tutorial for this 'behemoth' of a game.

@@tfpp1 Thanks! i plan to watch it myself, the next time i play :)

:)

Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it! It’s just a deck builder with tokens instead of cards.

That’s one i’m due to make a video for!

Take a look at my most recent videos and you’ll see. They came back, but weaker. i mentioned them to some co-workers a few weeks ago, who see me on camera every morning in video standups, and they had no idea what i was talking about. We were discussing them in person on a restaurant patio on a sunny day. i had to tilt my head back and point directly at them, and they said “oh… yeah?” So i’m thinking about treating them again, but i’m not as fussy about them as i was before this video. They’re a lot better.

Yes! From the Cholesteroleans.

Thanks Dan! Where do our lists line up?

Can’t remember the order, but we love Wingspan, Caverna, Trickerion, Castles of Burgundy… we like cooperative games though 😉 Never played Sea of Legends though, but now it’s definitely on my list!

Run, don’t walk! (Unless you have a peg leg.)

Hmm. You might be confusing Large Language Model AI with crypto? Crypto requires large server farms to crunch numbers day and night in search of ever-higher primes. i think a lot of power goes into training a LLM, but i didn’t think a ton was used in actually running one. Am i wrong?

​​@@NightsAroundaTable From reading some articles, to my understanding it takes a lot of energy and resources to build the model, and the larger the model and more complex the operation the more power it uses. Simple chatbot functions use less than generating images, and small images cost less computing power than large ones, but since they haven't yet implemented the "process and interact with your environment" feature there aren't any studies or figures to compare that to yet. All told, AI is using the power of a small country just like crypto did and growing at a rate that will apparently break Moore's Law, but you're right that they are two totally different things.

@@RozanovaHunter Sure, BUT... different approaches to producing computation will outpace silcon in the years and decades to come. We'll be able to get more computation from fewer resources. And of course, the hope is that AI will grow smart enough to help us get there faster. It's kind of like... it's dirty and destructive to burn coal. But burning coal supplied us with the energy we needed to study alternative sources, so that we can eventually ween ourselves off it. But we'd never get there without easy, "dumb" ways to literally keep the lights on while we searched for more advanced methods.

Why thanks! i have the empty expansion boxes in a pile on my floor right now ready to throw out, trying to free up space on my shelves. But it’s hard!

Too kind! Glad i could help.

Thanks so much!

My pleasure! Are you keeping an eye out for the designer’s next game, Luthier?

Thank you!

Tell that to the maggots in my basic training squad!

Fingers still crossed that they’ll release the camera-enabled version of 4o and i won’t have to!

A pleasure!
