  • While not exactly what you’re looking for, I thought the idea might inspire you somewhat.

    I present to you Simone Giertz retractable puzzle table.

    Edit: as to what to look out for… As long as you’re specific about wants and needs for the table, there shouldn’t be any issues. Shopping around for materials both wood and otherwise are going to be something you’ll want to source yourself. Provide some decent plans and be abundantly clear on the usage and intention of the table.

    And if you’re going to have the dining top be a monolithic slab of material, make sure one person can reasonably lift it. Don’t go grabbing some dense hardwood and making that thing a beast to remove.

    Which is a shame. I prefer alternate rules which change the plus cards rules to allow plays such as more +2’s added on top, color appropriate skips and reverses, wild cards and +4’s.

    Wild cards simply pass the draw to the next player. Basically every face card can be used to counter draw cards, though usually by adding more danger. It just adds a level of skill and planning over a game where getting randomed by a +2 or +4 is just a loss.



  • There are currently three types of isekai:

    1. Writing crutch to explain why the MC is special.

    2. Tangential isekai. These are the time skip, reincarnated, or other ‘from this world but not’ types

    3. Writing crutch to explain a world with ‘game-like’ qualities.

    Nearly all Isekai currently out do not need to be isekai, it’s just being overused to quickly explain why/how the world and MC are so different from baseline reality. Usually the real point is to connect the character to a more understandable and relatable base.

    I’ve been reading way too many light novels lately, and many of them are labeled isekai, but it’s completely inconsequential outside of a very minor plot point.






  • As someone who has lived in 4 (forgot Rhode Island) 5 different states, and two very different areas of California, the worst by my metrics was Hawaii.

    Yes, it has lovely weather, yes, it is a great place to visit… That does not make it a lovely place to live. Once you’ve done all the touristy things, you have to deal with the day to day. Prices are just higher for everything. It all has to come from somewhere, and it’s in the middle of the ocean.
