  • Season 0 has some stress to it but overall I felt like it was a great and smooth send off for the Pandemic Legacies. Season 1 was excellent as the first if you’ve played the standard or expansions of the standard game, it starts from that base familiarity and does a great job introducing the legacy concepts. Season 2… It just starts weird and gets fucking crazy from there. I enjoyed it probably the most of the three. It was pretty white knuckle in many of the months. We started logging both the hero deck and the infection deck and plotting our odds of when we would be pulling cards. It was deeply satisfying in a stressful way that most other board games don’t scratch. I’ve seen some people on the board games subreddit talk about how it was a push over and wasn’t difficult and I’m like did we play the same game? I didn’t feel like we are poor gamers and if anything those kinds of comments make me think of the Rimworld communities where people are saying the game just isn’t satisfying or challenging unless they’re playing naked brutality ice sheet with Randy random as the story teller.

    Basically this is my long winded, unnecessary reply to you just to say yes, Season 2 is crazy!


  • Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.
