I did and I'm quite excited about it. I've played 5 or so runs in Tabletop Simulator with some friends and had a blast. It translates fairly well to the physical format. Plays differently than the video game but captures the same feel.

I don't think it was intentional to undercut Piastri. I think they boxed to cover off Hamilton and then Lando put up a ridiculous out lap.

It is really best case scenario for Perez to have an off period. Max is winning everything and there is a large fight for second best so the rest of the available points are being spread around every race. As long as Checo has an occasional good race, there is absolutely no risk for the constructor's for Red Bull.

I was expecting a bigger penalty because the contact was absolutely egregious. He was completely off the track and didn't make any attempt to slow down to rejoin.

If you enjoyed the Martian, I highly recommend his newest book Project Hail Mary.

He earned it but unlucky with the safety car.

Really unlucky safety car for him. He absolutely deserved the podium today.

What a battle it was! Can't believe Lando was and to keep ahead.

I get the hards for Piastri, but soft was the obvious call for Lando. Just strange that they would give him such a disadvantage on the restart.

I saw Max with a yellow sector two and I thought Lando had it. So excited for those two seconds before Max ruined it as always.

As many have said Viticulture is a staple of worker placement games. If you want something with a mix of mechanics with some worker placement, I'd recommend Everdell.

So nothing new as is expected.

MotoGP prefers tarmac runoff to gravel traps and so the RBR added runoff on those corners. Hopefully we can undo that and go back to the gravel runoffs or even just a strip of grass to make track limits a bit more sane.

We haven't seen any of the Shard but it's name, but Invention sounds good to me.

Looks awesome. Great work and I'm sure your kid will get plenty of fun out of it.

I've switched to Thunder recently and am really liking it. Not in the app store yet, but easy to install on Android from GitHub.

Thunder for Lemmy

It's also a specialty for Lando. I'm not getting my hopes up but I am optimistic that they will be more consistently competitive going forward.

Broke his front wing when Magnussen was forced to stop on the apex. Been struggling ever since.

The number of mixed up drivers in penalties has been ridiculous. They showed Gasly being investigated for Ocon's unsafe release and Hulk getting a track limits warning after retiring.

I don't get why they don't have a little "+5s" tag next to the driver's name. It's common in most other series.

That gap was enhanced by Hulk holding everybody up for a while. Max is still going to run away with it, but it's not quite as drastic as it was in the sprint.

I just can't get over Perez missing Q3 again. To make that many track limit mistakes shows his head clearly isn't in it.

Trying really hard to not read into this, but those McLaren upgrades are looking amazing!

My 15-month old loves to say Dad-deee (very long second syllable!), but absolutely refuses to say mommy. He's a complete momma's boy, but it's still driving her insane.

Organic Supports! So excited that they are official. I've been using the beta for a while, but glad it's officially released.

Bolted from the outside with no way to open from the inside? That is absolutely horrifying.

I love Spirit Island. Wide variety of options gives it near endless replay ability. The ability to widely adjust the difficulty also makes it great with a good variety of players. You can make it extremely hard for experienced players looking for a challenge or just as easily make it more casual for new players.

Second this one. I'm a fan of the video game so admittedly a bit biased, but I really enjoy the board game. Rules are a bit intricate being a dungeon crawler-ish game, but on the lighter side for that genre.

Great talk and I completely agree with him. Static typing has a lot of benefits but the old style use cases had a lot of extra overhead. As languages have matured, that overhead has come down a lot and so it's not surprising that they have gained back traction recently.

Little Bobby Tables is all grown up.

Beautiful work OP! Love the exposed wood in the middle. As a lover of wood grain, the more exposed wood the better!

Can you elaborate on what was wrong with your prints after installing? A properly configured 3DTouch will let you get an accurate bed mesh which will improve your prints, but only marginally if your bed is fairly flat to begin with. My guess would be something is off with your configuration, likely either a Z-Offset or a misconfigured mesh.

His race pace the last few races has been concerning, but the terrible performances in qualifying is just dumbfounding. The Red Bull has such a gap on the rest of field, shown by Max, that Checo should never be in danger of missing Q3 barring a crash or mechanical failure.

I know his seat is probably safe as long as Red Bull stays solidly ahead in the constructors, but if he keeps performing this poorly RBR has to at least look at potential options for next season.

Historical Legacy is a good way to put it. For Pokemon in particular, RBY was the franchise for a lot of people, myself included. I've played a few of the others, but RBY is what came out when I was a kid and will always be the one I remember.

Your 4th point really hits on the main problem with all lists like this and that is that what is "best" is different for everyone. I agree with you that this puts too much weight on storytelling, but I know for some people story is by far the most important part of any game. For me, I rarely care about the story at all, I just want interesting mechanics.

The race pace on the Haas is just absolute garbage. I don't understand how they can struggle so much every race.

Thanks for the great reviews! You definitely got me interested in a few I probably would have looked past previously.

Long press on the item and the details row will appear. I believe it's the 4th item from the left to mark an individual message as read.

I wonder if the stewards basically combined his two borderline incidents and gave him one penalty for it. I thought he was likely to get a penalty for the unsafe release and was pretty surprised he didn't, but on the flip side it seemed unlikely to get a penalty for driving too slow under a safety car.

As for the stewards problem, I really think they need to do a hybrid approach. Have 2-3 members of the stewards team that are on the FIA payroll and are part of the stewarding team at every event, but bring in an additional 2-3 different local stewards as well. Hopefully it would bring some consistency across how specific incidents are ruled, but by cycling new people through the group you avoid favoritism arguments.

They aren't even comparing to Max though. The only Red Bull mention in the article is saying they were fast enough to keep Checo behind over the duration of the race.

It has been a pretty great turnaround, but they still have a lot of work to go. I think their car is still slightly behind Aston on general race pace, but they are mostly ahead of Ferrari and competitive with Alonso.
