the slop tap is back on, lets get a big open embarrassing thread going
What’s the most cringe-inducing, not discussed in irl circles shit that you actually think “No, I actually love this”?
For me, it’s the Tuvan Republic National Anthem. This shit goes incredibly hard, but loving it does make me feel like a child who blasts the soviet anthem out of a bluetooth speaker in school to be annoying.
I’ve never even played EU4, this just rocks enough to show up in my youtube suggestions.
What’s your secret shame of enjoyment?
You basically set up a model train diorama without the trains, then use a tape measurer (instead of squares like chess). Dice are rolled to see if attacks and actions are successful. This is how most tabletop wargames are played, though there are some that don’t use dice (the godfather of moderrn wargames, Kriegsspiel) or measurements (such as Crossfire by Arty Conliffe).
A lot of hex and chit wargames can have pieces replaced by models and terrain, though it’s not as common. AFAIK there are Advanced Squad Leader and Steve Jackson’s Melee communities that do this.
