Heil five!

Very moody. I like it.

Oh yes, I quite enjoy Concept. To me, Codenames, Concept and Haiclue all have that fundamental ‘make a clue with extremely limited options and get people to guess them’ framework, they just differ in how they implement those limitations (one word for Codenames, limited word pool for Haiclue, and conceptually building the clue for Concept)

This is the video that led me to actually start taking a hard look at social media (I was already off of Instagram, but that was almost unconscious in that I just started loathing the app), and led me down the rabbit hole that eventually led me to Lemmy!

Inb4 they start making tiktoks about ignoring the calming music

Thanks!

No Dramione? 🤨

He was (and still is) my favourite part of Foundation, especially because his character is original to the show, but his portrayal definitely adds to it.

Every round, there are four shared words, from which one will be assigned to you. The point of the game is to assemble a clue that will make the other players pick that particular word out of the four. I said assemble and not write because there is a limited pool of 15 word cards that you have to arrange at least two of to form a clue. Pictured above is the clue I would personally give if the word were picnic (though in this screenshot the assigned word is net).

The clue therefore ends up, in practice, quite interestingly phrased at times, which is why the game is called that (Haiku + clue). You get points each time someone guesses your word correctly, and each time you guess someone’s word correctly.

It’s a type of short form poetry originating in Japanese, which consists of three lines, of 5, 7, 5 syllables each.

For example:

in dark autumn nights / dew and the new bamboo shoots / reaching out to moon

Anyone who’d like to explore haiku (through writing or reading) is welcome in the community

I’ve been through a rage quit and a ‘got bored of not progressing’ quit, but I’ve kept coming back to the game. I’ve finished the game on the normal difficulty, still on and off making my way to finishing it on the hardest.

Slowly grinding my way through Sifu on Master difficulty.

Which game is it, btw?

Yes! Been hyped for this since before the release delay. Can’t wait to see it.

I’ve added a pinned FAQ to the community to address/clarify what’s been brought up in this thread so far. LMK if you have any other questions.

Yup!

(This is what I could find.)[https://albumcovers.fandom.com/wiki/Album_Cover_Game] The base image is copyrighted (and that’s allowed), but the final result is still OC, since the text is supposed to be edited in by yourself.

The fake album game is more of an algorithm to get a fake album through chance (the final product matters much more than the method imo), but it could be helpful for those who don’t know where to begin.

My actual preference is only that the final post show effort. I honestly wouldn’t mind if the base picture wasn’t OC, or even the uploaded picture, if the name of the artist/album and other information (possibly a tracklist or genre, like you mentioned) come together to evoke the unique vibe that album art often has. I didn’t want to write all that out, but some change will be necessary to how the rules are written at the moment.

I’ll probably go back and add something like that for what I’ve posted so far, but in the meantime, do mention what genres you think they might be. It would be quite interesting to see how different people interpret it.

I remember reading a book that talked about public spaces and how we often think of malls as public spaces, but they have so many restrictions and ulterior motives that it doesn’t really hold.

They’re essentially the irl equivalent of centralised social media platforms. I hope once the fediverse really takes off, we can have ‘official’ platforms/instances that are run by governments that federate only to other ‘official’ ones. That seems like a better way to reach people, instead of Xitter.
