1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I always like to tell my BSG story.

    1. Watch mini series, it's good
    2. Don't get into the rest, forget about it
    3. Come home one day to flat mate watching it on DVD, just as the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere on New Caprica and jumps out again.
    4. Me: "I need to watch this from the start"
    5. Flat mate ejects the disc right then and there and inserts the first disc of the first season.
    6. We watch it every night until the end

    Best TV ever made.

    Then you discover the board game and it's a whole new level of great

    Board game you say?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    one of my absolute favs. it's a co-op where one player is randomly, secretly a cylon, sabotaging the groups efforts.

    you can toss people in the brig. theyll protest "Im not the cylon!!!" and if youre wrong (youre often wrong), the group suffers by losing the jailed character's special ability, while trying to fight off an attack until managing to jump.

    best part? half way through, you draw new loyalty cards. sleeper cylon activated!!!

    its genuinely hard not to run out of food, or water, or just get overrun by a boarding party. some of the best fun losing Ive ever had

    Truly it's a hard game even if there were no cylons. Humans rarely win in my games. Alas, it's out of print 😭. Its spiritual successor Unfathomable seems good as well, though I've only played it once
