I miss playing various card games, only because it took you forever to actually learn the stupid things, but of course by the time you were starting to feel some mastery, your friend group suddenly gets over its MtG or Texas Hold Em Poker era.

So now you know what a big blind is and you won't even use that knowledge again, with any luck, because it would mean throwing the retirement savings away on fuck all.

Shit man, I miss Apples to Apples, to say nothing of getting trashed and playing Cards Against Humanity, what a time that was.

Exploding Kittens. It's designed by the guy who drew The Oatmeal. There's black holes involved. About the time we all got sharky on the ruleset oh, we're not playing this anymore.

Fucking card games, man.

Card game doesn't even mean "played with little bits of cardboard" anymore.

No, it means "video games where cards are used as a play mechanic" now. Fuckin card games.

    That's why I draw the line at UNO (ok, with the exception of Gwent).

    With the exception of GWENT because I have a gold card with my picture on it that has 20 Power. It's basically Exodia.

    I extend this to most board games as well. And I find people "eager to teach me" often are "eager to play, you're slowing the fun down by not immediately picking up the fundamentals" and I get bored because I don't know what's going on and then players cop out with "just watch, you'll pick it up." No, Frank. I have six cards in category A in my hand, three face down in category B, six glass pebbles, one plastic pyramid, and staring at a large cloth with hexagons and two dice with Japanese Kanji on their faces. Two of the players are fighting about what sounds like K-pop album names, and using abstract nonsense like they are actually explaining.

    "You know six knuts make one Orin, right? You have six knuts and one Orin in front of you, got that? Now the lead sanu, thats Jim, has the advantage of Doshuikk because he's on the golden path here. You got that? So you need to find another player to use THEIR Orin so you can pass Jim and bargain with knuts OR use your Orin to pass the time gate nearest to you, your partner, AND Jim. But if Jim passes the rainbow bridge, you'll have to start over. That's why--"

    Oh, I'm sorry, I stopped caring hours ago. I see literally zero point in this last hour to give a fuck about any of this.
