@thor Oh yeah, French makes absolutely no sense either. I always tell myself that those people don't know how to actually spell. I still think I'm not wrong.

@torresjrjr If a word is in a dictionary, is it not already defined by default?

@thor Es-ku-el for me. Of course, no chance in hell for me to know how English stuff is pronounced. They just make no sense, you really need to be able to hear in order to learn how to speak English. Unlike, say, Spanish.

@thor Whoa... I didn't even know it was meant to be 'engine'... jeez. And yes, I do think of it as en-ginks. :P

@fraggle@octodon.social Where's this at? I don't think we're going to have snow in a while here for several weeks, if at all.

@freemo I suspect overproduction.

@mur2501 @dankmaximus

@freemo There's also a close ad button, which we all know is always so very microscopic.

So the rice is likely extremely tiny. :P

@freemo 🤨 Somehow I'm not buying this!

@obra 🤨 Not sure how I feel about this. Turning into a PG rated action series? Uh... I bet a lot of the fun jokes are going to be lost.

@JonathanMBR Woah. Would it be extremely painful, or would that take a little while due to the fat layer?

Shouldn't the hippo go to deeper water to avoid the hyenas?

@JonathanMBR They're not the only ones. We're currently in a lockdown because otherwise ours won't have the capacity either.

@freemo I am pretty certain it is not an actual dialogue. ;) But that's a good one. :P

@freemo You certain? If that photo is real life sized, that's an absolutely huge grain of rice right there!

@iankenway I just want to say that's actually a nice powerful image.

@aetios I don't think we have much to worry about trout when it comes to that. ;)

@kamakazikitteh Tootin', that's what's up!

@mur2501 Darn. Still way too hot though. I'd like to meet in the middle! My 8C and your 32C... Let's settle on 20C? ;)

@mur2501 Cold and an extremely rainy morning here.

@arteteco Yes! Granted, I saw Avatar TLA only a few months ago. So I've been waiting since then. ;)

I hugely appreciate how Star Realms is a card battle game with very clearly defined rules and layout. Its setup is so simple that it can be used to understand other card battle games.

I've played Ascension before. It looked pretty interesting, but I didn't fully grok how it should be exactly played. Not much later I discovered Star Realms and have been playing that a lot ever since.

Now I'm trying out Ascension again. This time they have a tutorial (I just don't remember it being there last time), and I used Star Realms as reference. That made understanding Ascension SO MUCH easier!

All those various groups in Ascension; Enlightened, Lifebound, Mechana, Void.. they're comparable to the factions in Star Realms. The Mystics, Heavy Infantry, etc? That's similar in idea to Explorers. And the Constructs? Those are bases, plain and simple. Just an extra in this game are Monsters, but once you got the rest down that's not too hard a concept to grasp either.

Once I realized those similarities, I've been able to really enjoy playing Ascension. I can actually go explore the various DLCs now that the game has, each one changes the gameplay a little. But the basics are there.
