Thanks for the tax advice ! ❤️

Omg, really ? That makes sense ! I just accepted the mouse thing as a willy wonka side effect. Didn’t realize this could be a part of the history

Imma check out the games you listed, they sound interesting!

Yeah, I have some games I’m picking up using the auction. Potentially math trade too ?

This year, my plan is to play more and shop less. I really regret purchases like precognition and don’t want to make such a mistake again. Also keen on working for some of the publishers as a volunteer “rules explainer”. Let’s see how that goes 😅

I am going for all 4 days. So, don’t have to worry about going through all the halls in a day.

Hmm, sounds good to me. I’m gonna focus on playing too. I am glad I was able to get Turing machine then but kind of have a fomo on such games this year. Hopefully I can see past that 🙈

I wanna try working at the stalls for some producers during Spielmesse (you explain games to visitors and it’s on fhift basis) but don’t know how that affects taxes etc because I’m already full time employed. Oh well, to be determined

The issue seems to be surviving rules explanation/reading. And is apparently an issue it with this game. Even Rodney’s video wasn’t a hit 😅

However, your other suggestions are great. I’ll try that. I can just set the table up instead of waiting for a full acknowledgement in the very beginning

I think the struggle to go through the rules and getting bored in the process. It’s funny to me because mage knight wasn’t as much of an issue but this somehow isn’t working out.

That’s fine by me. I’m just wondering if there are other games out there that might be more of a success. Aeons end is an option I’m thinking of

Never heard of that in German. It’s just marshmallows with a generic German accent instead. But it’s cool to learn something new. Which region says that, OP?

Ohhh I’m so jealous. Travelling all the way from Berlin here. At least, by now, I have a constant Airbnb place I book for Spielmesse

Spirit island - branch and claw. Played in 2p mode. No tips or strategies since it was our first game after buying it. Played with no scenarios either and with both the new spirits. It went surprisingly easy.

Thanks for the uplifting words ❤️

Yeah, I’ve seen the movie. The best cluster fuck experience I could ask for. I still do not know what the donut was all about. 😅

I am “exponentially” better at nothing in comparison to others. There’s always this one kid, who will do whatever I do, far better than I can ever do.

Disclaimer: I’m not trans myself. My experience/opinion is formed by listening to my trans friends and observing their experience.

Berlin is largely leftist with some anarcho spaces. Trans acceptance is mandated entry requirement. I’m sure some ahole wiggles in occasionally but I’ve seen others get very vocal and kick them out immediately. I would say it’s an accepting place with several social events geared towards the LGBTQ community. A friend of mine is from the US too and she came to Berlin because of the issues she faced in her home country as a (trans) woman. It’s been about a decade since she got here. I can find out about some forums, spaces you can talk / ask questions in. I don’t want to presume the details and speak for the trans community. Shall I look into it and pm you ?

Queer German woc here. And in tech too ! :D Yes, I do find it conservative. I live in Berlin. For all the hate that non Berliners like to lay on Berlin, it’s an accepting vibrant place. And if you are vegan, you’ll be spoilt for dining options. Vietnamese is crazy good here. And, concerts, there are multiple shows for different genres practically everyday. And several of them at sort of low-key underground places with their own charm. Berlin has its pitfalls but I don’t underestimate the peace of not being stared at constantly for just living my life. Oh, and racism in rural areas: If you ain’t white, enjoy some extra stares even when grocery shopping. Living outside the ring zone will give you the relatively quiet life you want. Rent is not cheap though. Cheaper than Munich though. But the rental crisis here is no joke either. There are some fun hacker and maker spaces here in Berlin: xhain and cbase for example that could be interesting for you. One thing I do live about Munich: if you are a hiker / mountain climber, that place is excellent. So many mountains and trails are nearby !!

Would you be able to afford remote workcation kinda thing ? You can test out the cities and see how you vibe with it.

Did you hear about AfD’s anti abortion policies that’s taking light ? Or even the ones were the criminalise LGBTQ communities as pedophiles and put up posters for the same ? German right wing is just as nutty ad American (or polish) right wing.

Video games followed by sleep deprivation

Thanks! ❤️

A woman. I’m interested too… It’s really tiring keeping track of it on an analog Calendar.

If you can’t find anything, I suggest you make her a barebones one or get her to use something like etar. It’s all local.

• terraforming mars
• mage knight
• nemesis

Twice: after waking up,before bed. Floss, tongue cleaner , mouth wash is a part of the ritual. On a related note : can recommend electronic tooth brush.

The amount of individuals here who brush post breakfast or not at all in the morning is alarming ! Of course, mental health can affect the schedule but that’s a different conversation and is understandable.

The rest, how is your dentist not harassing about your oral hygiene?
