I'll look for it tonight. Reply to this at some point, if you don't mind. It'll remind me to post it for you. Lol

If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It's pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don't have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.

Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don't have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.

It's so worth getting into it you've got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn't so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that

Don't forget the very well light, 4k quality picture of their anus that they do not properly clean

Thanks, friend. :)

God, I wish. If I could do something like that I'd spend my days volunteering with organizations like food not bombs and local mutual aid orgs. I'd probably still have roommates, even. I don't need much. I'm happy with a bedroom of my own, the rest of the house can be shared space. I just want to do mutual aid work and not have to worry about being evicted or starving :(

When all else fails the weather can always be blamed. Glorious little excuse for some bellyaching. Haha.

Glad to know things are otherwise good! I'm doing mostly okay. Lot of big life things happening recently, and I'm reeling a bit, so just trying to figure things out.

What's the benefit to this one over others?

Building the machine wasn't embarrassing, getting all animated and excited around other humans was embarrassing. I know it isn't. I know that isn't normal. I don't know why I have that reaction later on, other than when I was a kid other kids made fun of me whenever I did. Like, if I ever got excited and hyper or something other kids would laugh and make comments about I was fat and it I moved around I'd jiggle. Shit like that. It made me end up with basically the mindset that I need to be stoic all the fucking time unless I'm very close to someone. The friend I visited has been one of my best for 20 years (online/phone), and his friend and I clicked so fast that my barriers sort of dropped unexpectedly, and I ended up getting really excited and animated. Basically I leave situations like that feeling like I've made a fool of myself. A fat, ugly fool.

Our brains suck sometimes

My surname has 14 characters. My full name has 23. Forms suck.

Happened to me way too often as a kid (from other kids, never my family), and I've only just now begun to realize it's why I feel such embarrassment if I ever allow myself to get excited/show excitement. God forbid I ever let myself get animated, I end up laying in bed every night for literal weeks afterwards replaying it through some fucked up filter that just gets worse and worse until I'm convinced I've humiliated myself irrevocably, and I stop interacting with other humans for a long time. The only places I can allow myself to be excited/animated are online and with my family.

Recently went to visit a friend and ended up getting positively hyped while helping one of his friends build a rube goldberg machine. Friend I went to visit ended up having a medical episode, and mentioned in his drugged up state that he was a little jealous of how quickly I and his friend hit it off, and I still haven't recovered. Me and rube goldberg machine guy really clicked, but I haven't been able to bring myself to even text the guy because I can't get past the embarrassment of it. Friend I visited said it was like watching Romeo and Juliet meet.
