Being unable to think of something without a prompt.

I guess most people can just remember things without sticky notes and calendars.

I might be. Give me a topic and I'll spew out all sorts of obscure trivia, but until you mention it, I don't know that any of it exists.

In high school, my friend ran Linux. I was over at his house and he had to go take a shit or something, and I was trying to see what games he had on his computer. When he got back he asked what the hell I did because he now has to reboot, and we're going to have to watch it do that for the next half hour. And penguins and hats.

That's pretty much everything I ever needed to know about Linux.

Is that a challenge? Tell me what you know about Living Card Games without looking it up!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

So, "Living" card games doesn't mean anything to me, but you did trigger card games in general, which could take me a while. I've probably spent a majority of my waking life playing Magic, Poker, Hearthstone, Silver, Smash up, and various other card games. Most recently, I'm obsessed with Balatro.

That being said...

Are you about to open a Pandoras box by making me look up Living Card Games?

Mate, if you're into CCGs, you really missed out by not getting into LCGs! Android:Netrunner, a remake of the original Netrunner from the 90s is the absolute GOAT CG out there with a close second being the Doomtown:Reloaded (which I helped design). Basically it was CGs without the luck/gambling. Just get all the cards and make exactly all the decks you want.

Unfortunately Netrunner and Doomtown run out of steam half a decade ago, but they're still developed by their fans, but usually the only way to play them consistently is online in places such as Jinteki.net. There's a few others still in production, but iirc they're co-operative ones, like Arkham Horror

I really like netrunner but I can't find anyone to play with (I prefer in person opponents). It is also the first thing that comes to mind when I think of living card games.

Lol I played Wizard 101 with my kids. I had the most amazing solo life/balance deck.
