For all appearances, this isn't satire.  They actually, truly believe this is an amazing product, and that we should be basking in the glow of their awesomeness.

So this might be the board game equivalent of FATAL?

If you're not familiar with FATAL, it has been deemed one of the worst RPGs, in part because it's so awful and politically incorrect yet seemingly published with sincerity.

You can download it for free, but it's a terrible read. Reading the review on rpg.net is a much more productive (and humorous) use of your time.

Anything that makes Synnibar sound sane is a force to be reckoned with.

I do believe I've read that review, or possibly a similar one on ENWorld.  This is the one with tables for rolling for breast size and attempting rape, right?

I think that qualifies as worse than this board game.

[Kuildeous]

I've no doubt of that. I'm just focusing on the creator's sincere belief that he made a good game while everyone else just cringes.

Perhaps Ed Wood would have been a better comparison.

I can almost deal with the fact that I have more Mathematicians than there are people in the world, but having 10 000 Kurt Gödels is pretty mindblowing.

I'm glad they included him Gödel the game; it would have felt incomplete without him.

That may be by any metric, the reasons Riemann is superior are manifold.

But more seriously, this is an odd collection of mathematicians to include.  By historical standards, Wiles isnt all that exceptional.  He proved Fermat's Last Theorem, but while it was well known in the popular media it wasn't particularly important.  Godel's contributions are fundamental and revolutionary philosophically, but don't have much practical impact on mathematical work.  Riemann is absolutely amazing though.  But still, I would have except Archimedes, Euler, Gauss, or Hilbert over the first two.

So what you're saying is that they're arranged in an obvious hierarchy?  And that perhaps Euler would be in the next line down if there were a fifth derivative line?

Anyway, just game here to report my new house now has a games cupboard!!

Nice!

Congrats on the house! I am glad something worked out for you. I remember you were having trouble finding something reasonable to rent.

Happy Mothers day to all the mothers here on F.DS (do we have any?)

Also happy clocks going forward day. I feel like a zombie. Urghh....

Mother's Day is celebrated at different times in different countries. Tables is in the UK, where it's celebrated on the Fourth Sunday of Lent (which is today). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day#Dates_around_the_world

Also clocks went forward already in North America. Thanks US for making Canada change our clocks before the rest of the world.

Can we stop changing our clocks? Is this still a thing that has any value?

Given the increase in medical and traffic issues occurring twice a year, I'm pretty certain it has negative value.

One day a new political party will break through the Republican/Democrat strangehold in the US on a platform of ending daylight savings time and the penny.

[Titandrake]

VVVVVV is now ridiculously broken. There's a new glitch that allows people to clip through some walls close to teleporters, which lets you skip some levels entirely. The old record was around 12 minutes, and the expected record is going to be under 10.



As for DST, the main benefit is more sunshine, which has a non-negligible effect on certain parts of the economy. No idea whether it's a net help or loss.

Except that people can actually just shift the time they do things in the day....

End Daylight Savings. But even beyond this, just get rid of time zones altogether.

It's all about the farmers and working times.
Well it was in the uk, largely irrelevant now.

Every year we talk about just not doing it but it never happens
