I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?...
It's pretty quiet over on ! benignexistence since there aren't too many users following it at the moment, but it's a good place for light, chilled out conversations when people pick up on a post.
I'm currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. I tried to read it once when I was in my early teens and didn't finish, but I figured I'd give it another go with all the hype over the recent TV adaptation. I've just passed the point where I gave up before (~150 pages) and I'm kicking myself, because it turns out I stopped just short of where all the action seems to really get going. The book is front-loaded with a lot of worldbuilding by way of sci-fi/fantasy terms presented without much context, so I can understand why my younger self got bored and gave up. I'm really enjoying it this time around though, I think I'm a lot more patient as a reader now than I used to be.
I was putting my collection back together after redecorating over the weekend and noticed a distinct lack of worker placement games in my collection!...
It's arguably light on the worker placement, but Ishtar: Gardens of Babylon is a good choice. My partner and I picked it up on a whim and it's fast becoming a favourite on board game nights with friends. It's a very pretty game to boot!
Do conversations happen anywhere?
