Oooh, definitely going to try this one.
I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!
What I do nowadays when I want to introduce a new game, is 1) watch a tutorial video when I’m alone, 2) watch the tutorial video again while still alone, and then 3) watch the tutorial video a third time with the group.
I find that I usually mostly understand the rules at that point. No one else does, since it is still really hard even with the video and they’ve only seen it once, but they at least know basically what the game is and I jump in to help everyone through their first few turns.
(I am a native English speaker with excellent reading comprehension skills, and even so, it’s just a lot to take in all at once)
I like Sushi Go (specifically Sushi Go Party for variety), Hanabi, and King of Tokyo.
I’m not yet that guy who puts Tabasco on everything, but the future path is clear. I almost want to get one of those little Tabasco holsters to carry it around with me
Well of course. Individuals in an organization are compensated based on “impact”. It doesn’t matter (at least for the first few years) whether the impact is positive or negative!
“Pokemon: Jirachi, Wish Maker” for me. It had this really creepy Groudon with tentacles.
I have a theory that people seek what they’re missing in their lives through their hobbies.
Specifically, in my own life I’ve noticed that the times I’ve gone deep into rich, complicated, and demanding hobbies, are the times when I’ve felt understimulated at school or work.
Conversely, at times when I’ve felt overstimulated at school or work I only want to watch TV or play simple party games to unwind or destress.
I am curious if other people feel this way.
