Well said… Thanks for spelling it out!

Your last one is a good question. I don’t have an answer but I was leaning towards some sort of conservation law (e.g. normal stars have magnetic fields, when they get squeezed down to a neutron star those fields must go somewhere and it will be very much “concentrated”). Apparently this is a bit too easy (didn’t expect to be nothing different). Wikipedia provides a reference to a not too recent (2003) survey, namely this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0307133 . I don’t know if it’s the state of the art but it surely is interesting.

How much I do love those fonts. That proper spacing and balancing… It will always a place in my heart and I fear the day that I will fail to recognize it!

Same for me. I have been reading Linus (Torvalds) posts since decades and it really seemed out of character to me. I even clicked on the link but I admit that I haven’t yet understood what is going on. I have decided that it’s not for me…

So long, and thanks.

What is an “Analogue pocket” for those of us … Out of the loop?

There is an optional Ocr pass, from what I understand

One wonders how they market their services : “come to us, we are the best fake reviewers you can find on the web and these 5-star reviews prove it!”

Those are all nice things, the last one in particular deserves a lot of praise!

I think that the best one is Arkham Horror LCG by MJ Newman. It really blends together game mechanics and narrative feeling (ludonarrative harmony, as she describes here fo example: https://www.bewaretheblackcat.com/post/behind-the-curtain-enemies ). In short, you are not simply moving cards or pulling out tokens, but you are really living an adventure.

Then there is War of the Ring, really conveys both for the Free People and the shadow player a super thematic experience, while being a tight and ruthless wargame.

Those two are the peaks (for us). But I can name many other which we enjoy. Among the new ones, there is a very nice pirate game, forbidden Edit: Forgotten waters (sorry, autocorrector). I also enjoy the games by Jerry Hawthorne (mice and mystics, comanauts, stuffed fables, …).

And many, many others (dune conquest, for instance, or star wars: imperial assault, …)

Hi! I play a lot of RPGs (with the exception of DND, for some reasons)… And I mainly enjoy thematic/narrative games (so, no “Germans” for me, even if the distinction is losing meaning day by day!)

I hope to be able to see it in a theatre. Nolan is one of my favourite directors and this is a movie I have been expecting since I first heard of it.
