December in #BoardGames #BGStats just 1 play of everything for a change.

New to me games:

#Hamlet liked the tiles, enjoyed the game, the ending seemed drawn out, wonder if we got the rules wrong

#Ragusa nice wall building game though I misunderstood an icon and did terribly as a result

#RideTheRails neat quick train game

#QE a blank cheque auction game, I won it & enjoyed it, I rarely like auction games so winning probably helped

….continued

Einen genauen Termin haben wir noch nicht, aber im Laufe des ersten Quartals 2024 wird das großartige Q.E. (Empfehlungsliste Spiel des Jahres 2023) mit der Rohstofferweiterung noch großartiger.
Jetzt bekommt auch der am zweithöchsten Bietende noch etwas, so dass man seltener ganz leer ausgeht und irgendwann vielleicht sogar lieber das zweithöchste Gebot abgibt - wenn man es nur schon vorher wüsste 😊

Vorbestellungen sind ab sofort in unserem Webshop möglich.

I tripped over a misunderstanding of Modern Monetary Theory this morning in an Interview with Robert Prechter of Elliott Wave international, who in my view misinterprets just about anything macroeconomic; it was on Doug Casey's Take; but it was another interviewee, in this case, Matt Smith, who claimed that Washington has been captured by MMT & uses Quantitative Easing as evidence of that capture.
I went looking online & it appears that this misconception is not uncommon, equating MMT with QE.

I looked up Prof. Bill Mitchell's blog & found this post from 2019 which relates to Japan's use of QE since 1990.

I would be most surprised if anyone with the faintest idea of MMT would consider QE to be one of its tenets. Government bonds not being an essential feature of macroeconomics, just a way of providing those wealthy enough to purchase them with an unearned income stream & by reducing bank reserves.

Interest rates: No cut until 'solid evidence' price rises slowing - Bank boss

Here's my prediction - just as the #Bank held on to near-zero interest rates and #QE way too long after the 2008 #bankingCrisis, so they will hang on to these higher rates too long after the #inflation hump caused by #Putin s war & #toriesOut incompetence has been dealt with

I guess I'll do that #introduction thing while I'm finding my feet.

Hi folks! Not sure if I'll post here much, but I sure do like #videogames. So much so that I used to write about them a whole lot for an Aussie mag called PC PowerPlay.

Every now and then I trot Unity out and pretend I'm going to make a game with it before life and work and kids catch up with me and forget about it and have to start from scratch in a new version.
I did manage to make an entire game one time - it's a parody #Uncharted text adventure you can play here: bit.ly/2t1zWek

I love #archery, and have more bows than is probably healthy, and my fav music is #metal. I'm also a career performance engineer, so special shout out to to all those underappreciated #QA / #QE folks!

Anywho, keen to follow along with what y'all are working on, or whatever else you decide to share!

textadventures.co.ukUncharted 4.5 - Play online at textadventures.co.ukWow! Can you believe this extremely authentic rejected script for Uncharted 4 that we just found in a bin? Take a look! This is the game of which Inverse.com said "...don't want to know...", Kotaku US said "...not much to it...", Kotaku AU wrote "...this is a thing that exists.", and someone on a Hungarian forum said "The biggest E3 news sly landing". And if you needed any more convincing, it's also very linear. Pretty much LOOK AT anything listed in caps and you'll probably do fine. If you get stuck, the original "script" is on Point and Clickbait (http://www.pointandclickbait.com/2016/06/uncharted-4-rejected-script/) and should provide some guidance. http://kotaku.com/uncharted-4-the-very-short-text-adventure-1781428922 http://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/06/uncharted-4-the-text-adventure/ http://www.rewired.hu/content/uncharted https://www.inverse.com/article/16803-need-more-uncharted-drop-everything-and-play-this-two-minute-text-adventure http://www.pointandclickbait.com/2016/06/uncharted-4-rejected-script/

Ooh, got a notice that the expansions for QE, Bites, Kabuto Sumo and the new standalone On Tour are on their way to me! It's a little ironic that a company called Board Game Tables (who do sell tables) are publishing some of the best games out there right now.
