Weird Word of the Day

[wwotd_hdr] Many people estimate that there are more than a million words in the English language. In fact, during a project looking at words in digitised books, researchers from Harvard University and Google in 2010, they estimated a total of 1,022,000 words and that the number would grow by several thousand each year. When you see a massive number like this, though, it’s important to remember that this includes different forms of the same word. It also includes lots of words that we could ca…

Games with a strong D&D vibe or mechanics

Lately, I’ve been getting deeply invested in Critical Role’s Campaign 3 of D&D. This is the first time I’ve spent any significant time seeing D&D in action and getting invested in the world, the lore and the game mechanics. And while it is virtually impossible for me to get into a D&D game myself due to time limitations, perhaps the world of gaming can scratch that itch in the mean while. So, as a hardcore RPG noob, I was wondering if the community has any games to suggest. Games that are simil…

Thanks Soli.

Sorry everyone, I just had a shite week last week.

@Beo

Sorry everyone, I just had a shite week last week.

Hey it’s okay, I know the feeling.

May everyone have a good week this week and good luck with the competition!

[DarthMol]

Hi @Solitude sorry I meant to post the link to the topic I created last week: Vampire Survivors

So with the 30 replies I should have 2 points.

Still need to get that article done

[Solitude]

Okay cool, please remember to post the link next week.

[DarthMol]

Will do

My article and topic for this week:

Game Tester: Test Games for Fun and XP

The 2022 Academy Awards - Entertainment - Most Epic Win

The 2022 Academy Awards

I used to watch the Oscar nominated movies each year just to make my own mind up, but the past few years have been such lackluster movies I just don’t have the time or patients to sit through such snorefest movies anymore.

[czc]

Man still need to get on it this week.

[DieGrootHammer]

I’m just going to go ahead and forego any stresses of getting full marks for this week. With all the work I have, conferences, wife going back to work etc, things are hectic so I know I won’t have time to get the full 3 marks. I’ll try my best though.

[Wyvern]

To be honest I am not even trying for the foreseeable future, at least it means someone else will have decent chance of winning and not me

[czc]

There is still a whole year to go. Other people will get busy at other times.

[GregRedd]

Came here to say exactly that. I’m not hugely busy this month, but from next month things may get a little harder for me as time gets chewed up by other commitments.

Here is my topic and article for the week:

Total War: Warhammer III

I must admit, I’ve never really gotten into the grand strategy real time battles of the Total War series. Despite that I definitely felt that the Warhammer lore was a great pairing with the Total War model. I’ve got the first TW: Warhammer sitting in my backlog, but it was the shiny, brand new TW: Warhammer III releasing on Game Pass that prompted me to take a proper look. One thing I can say is the cinematics are truly epic, they definitely set the tone for this vast fantasy world. [S…

I did nor manage to write an article, but here is my thread for the week. At least I got that done.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Official Discussion Thread

So thanks to the wonderful suggestions by the community, I’ve started playing Divinity: Original Sin 2, and I know a lot of others have either played the game, are currently doing another playthrough, or want to play the game. For me, this game has been a revelation! It is such a wonderful, joyous experience and I NEED to talk about it. Currently, I’m still on the first island, the one with Fort Joy. In this campaign, I am playing as Ifan ben-Mezd and I’ve configured him to be a tank and a fig…

[DieGrootHammer]

Also, just did a count and it seems I managed to squeek in the 30 post as well. So not a bad week for me despite not being as active as I would like.

What do you do when you can't sleep

Like the title says, what do you do when you wake up at 2:00AM (thanks mosquito) and can’t get back to sleep. I end up watching stuff (youtube, series, movies)
