Board games based on modern events? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

TBH, I thought I’d see the opposite. Good design for war games require access to secret documents, while events in the public space get documents leaked and published all the time, or even documentaries being released. For example, I would expect events like the 2008 market crash or Brexit to have enough content for a simple board game at this point. I mean, I’m not expecting Campaign For North Africa level of details ;-)

I agree development time is necessary though.

It is cumbersome to discover all these places on lemmy :/ Honestly, by the list of communities my instance shows, this one looks the most active. Thank you!

Board games based on modern events? (lemm.ee)
 

Looking for some board games that would be relatable to, let say, experiences from the last 20 years. But not in a generic sense like Pandemic, more like something more explicitly based on real events. Any suggestions?

Linux file system developer: we're severely under-resourced (lore.kernel.org)
 

I've said this previously, and I'll say it again: we're severely under-resourced. Not just XFS, the whole fsdevel community. As a developer and later a maintainer, I've learnt the hard way that there is a very large amount of non-coding work is necessary to build a good filesystem. There's enough not-really-coding work for several people. Instead, we lean hard on maintainers to do all that work. That might've worked acceptably for the first 20 years, but it doesn't now.

Dave and I are both burned out. I'm not sure Dave ever got past the 2017 burnout that lead to his resignation. Remarkably, he's still around. Is this (extended burnout) where I want to be in 2024? 2030? Hell no.
