  • I really hated the word tankie when i joined lemmy, it felt like it was thrown around too much, but then i really started seeing “communists” “critically supporting” Russia, despite being a far right shithole, like you only need to see who where the allies of Russia in Europe, weeks before the war started they were meeting with Meloni from Italy, Vox (fascist far right) from Spain and similar parties from other sides of Europe. Some communists are so in love with the idea of the USSR that cant really see that Putin is just your average far right dictator.

    Thankfully in Spain you dont see this happening as much as in some lemmy communities.


  • Played Imperium Legends in multiplayer for the first time (3 players) , i played with the Qin for the first time and didnt enjoy it as much as i enjoy other factions, too much restrictions and cards that need other cards or are restrictive of other cards you have in play. My turns took more time than i would like to. I dont know if my friends enjoyed the game as much as i expected, but it was a good game.

    Also played Discworld Ank-Morpork for the first time and had a really good time, i think that the mechanics on the board work well enough (moving minions, buildings, trouble and killing) and the cards are fun enough too, some really crazy effects on there. But there are two things i really did not like: Events can go crazy on you, i lost in two events played in the same turn near the end 50% of all the money i had made in the whole game, it was too much, i knew at that point that i had no way to complete my objective nor win by points. Also your actions being restricted to random cards can make the game really one sided at times, if you dont draw decent cards with the actions you need you are simply always behind, and having cards that do actions and then let you play another card is just so much better 99% of the time. There were 3 turns in a row where my two friends had a card with an additional play at least and i didnt so i just played a single card and passed and they played 2 to 4 cards, that just was even less fun than when i lost 50% of what i had as i just wasnt even playing the game in comparison. All things said, its still a pretty fun game i would play again, but its really luck based.

    Edit: Rereading my comment about Ankh Morpork i think it sounds weird how negative im on random events and cards but i say i had a really fun time, the main thing is the game has hidden objectives to win that can be pretty different so as i was playing with a couple of friends i knew already most of the fun came from trying to guess what was each others win condition and trying to prevent each other from winning.
