Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Is bullshit too much for people to read these days?

Tiktok trained the monkeys to self-censor.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tiktok wasn't the first. Facebook has been doing it for decades now

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Memes didn't start getting outright censored like this until tiktok came along.

I dunno, I found it in its current form. I actually found it kinda interesting, since you can treat it like a 'fill in the blank' puzzle.

In stoned outta my gourd right now so I spent a good 20 seconds trying to figure out what it was trying to say lol

Teamwork. It was absolutely saying teamwork.

Boardgame communities are often family friendly and what is family friendly can skew quite conservative.

More importantly, this was some random meme I ran into while surfing. It came precensored :)

Yeah, you're allowed to curse on the internet. Be free! It is bullshit when this happens.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Honestly not even mad when this happens. It's a bit of an ego boost to be regarded as the gorilla in the playground, and if I'm actually at that level and not merely lucky, it's great practice.

This is everyone playing a 6-player game of munchkin

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Munchkin - The game where playtime scales exponentially with player count.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I never seen Munchkin game finish expect when it took so long that some players just decide to help somebody win.

The pinnacle of evolution!

It's why I don't like playing competetive board games. The one time I managed to win a game was because the guy who'd do that the most often didn't realize how to counter my character (and it isn't immediately obvious who's winning until points are done) and man did he fucking moan about how my character was op and no one could stop her and I'm just...you didn't try. Quite easy to make her go doom spiral but yes, bitch more about you failing to ruin my night.

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I refuse to play with people who are bad sports (bad losers/winners). I understand people who don't enjoy competition, but that doesn't sound like your story. I enjoy healthy competition, but that person sounds like someone who just enjoys winning, and that's just toxic.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am fairly certain he played to ruin other people's enjoyment and not to try and win which is insane to my little brain.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you even playing with that person at this point?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I stopped playing with them years ago now! For that reason and so many more.

Me and my sister vs our brother after he was being a douche.
