Be Excellent To Each Other

Reason seems a lot more…reasonable now eh?

Well, in the past 20 minutes I've learnt more about electric toothbrushes than I thought I would ever know. That's a rabbit hole I never expected to fall into.
I've come away with the conclusion that the one I have is totally fine, which is good to know.

I learnt today that qi is pronounced “chee”.

I'm surprised you didn't know that. It's a video game staple.

Doesn’t turn up in Rocket League a lot.

It shows up in the Houston Rockets

I just called them queue aye chargers rather than chee chargers. I wonder how many other people did.

Huh, so did I. Always assumed it was an initialism for Q-something Induction. But no, it's chee.

Everyone I expect, I knew how qi was pronounced,but never linked that to qi chargers for some reason.

I had no idea

That's Quite Interesting

Nope, it’s cheestring

Not sure if this should go in here or the games thread:

So I'm putting it in both. Sounds like an amazing game for the Cottage!

I find myself underwhelmed by The Oatmeal games. Exploding Kittens was pretty great, Bears Vs Babies is pretty terrible and there's that one with something about a lobster. The artwork is most of the appeal and I'm not convinced they're great at game mechanics.

Exploding Kittens is merely good. We don’t seem to ever play it for all that long which is a sign it’s probably not amazing.

I played it once and though it was boring as shit.

I liked EK, it's got a good "I'm going to fuck up GazChap, ahaha he's fucked, oh no, he fucked me back!" vibe. I've not tried Bears and Babies.

I don't think it's a game that's meant to be played for a long time. After a couple of rounds I've had enough.

I love Bears Vs Babies though. Probably because you can give the 'bears' characters and that can get quite tactical too.
