The more they pull this shit, the harder it is to not believe they’re just the fascists’ controlled opposition.

That’s my favorite challenge bait tactic. If you challenge an opponent’s word and you’re wrong, you lose your turn, so if you want to be an asshole, play a word that exists as an obscure but valid word, but is much more well known as a proper name. Mike (alternate spelling of mic), Jenny (female donkey), Japan (a type of varnish), etc. They challenge, it’s in the dictionary, you get to give the opponent a smug grin, and they probably won’t want to play Scrabble with you anymore but you just got a major advantage.

If they get used to your tricks, just bullshit them with names that they “know better than to challenge now”. It’s entirely legal to intentionally play fake words, they’re just vulnerable to being challenged.

Of course if you’re playing against someone who’s actually competitive at Scrabble they’ve probably dedicated time to studying challenge bait and would see right through you, it’s a legit part of the game at a high level so they’d be prepared.

Ah, so a full bodied wine.

Even without the extra tile, EM is a word. It’s the spelling of the letter M.

Edit: also the much more obvious AM.

Looks like that suit is made of two different fabrics. Time to stone him, wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite.

Someone who was a tech journalist rather than a games journalist, and posted the attempts as a bit of self-deprecating humor. Of course capital-G Gamers think being bad at a game is a Serious Crime and nothing to joke about, so they responded as you would expect.

They could argue that. It would be a completely fucking asinine argument, but that doesn’t stop them.

If a sentencing judge gives someone the death penalty they should be willing to put their own life on the line. If, after the fact, the person is exonerated, execute the judge.

I assume it’s projection. He loses his shit when he’s reminded of the existence of gay people, so he assumes everyone else must be the same as him, just with the teams swapped.

Of course it’s always better to get vitamins from food, but getting them from a multivitamin is better than not at all.

Knowing how the vocal minority thinks, they’re probably deliberately ignoring the advice because they think any form of preparation or mitigation is cheating.

What definition of “actually difficult” are you using here? All difficulty in games boils down to learning things. If you exclude anything learnable, you reach absurd conclusions like the only true form of difficulty is colorblind inaccessibility.

Utah receives a lot of money from the federal government, totaling almost a third of their entire state budget. I guess they don’t want it anymore?

Apparently flashing the dictionary definition of the word on screen was a requirement from Fox to allow them to air the scene, in an extremely rare case of that kind of thing actually making it funnier.

They can only force you to use biometrics to open it, not a password.

That’s the entire AA series on Switch now with the exception of Layton vs Wright. Hopefully, this means AA7 is next?

Only partially, unfortunately. There aren’t a lot of people who speak full on Scots, the majority of Scotland speaks a dialect of English with a handful of Scots vocabulary now. It’s an endangered language.

6 and 8 are the only ones that are laws, and those are just common sense shit, don’t murder or steal. The first 4 are telling you what god to worship and how, which are explicitly the opposite of what a government is built on.

The party sending the bard to negotiate with the dragon, the rest of them ready to bolt if things go downhill.

It’s a more subtle P sound though, blended into the next consonant. Omitting it is the lesser of two evils compared to saying “putterodactyl”
