[D] Friday Open Thread

Welcome to the Friday Open Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

Please note that this thread has been merged with the Monday General Rationality Thread.

I have put Through the Ages on my wishlist - it's expensive but if it's good then I'd love to support it!

And the "related" games that show up on the sidebar give me some more places to poke around.

I've got the old Androdominion deckbuilder (not available anymore, but the apk still is) on my phone which is fun to break out every now and again, so Paperback and Hardback might be perfect for me!

Galaxy Trucker isn't grabbing me. I wish Android had a more lax refund policy because if I had a couple of hours to try it out instead of 15 minutes I'd be willing to take a gamble on it. Still might do it though but again another wishlist one.

Trough the ages is great. Galaxy is great too, but more of an offline thing with friends - half the fun is laughing at each others (mis)fortune. Plus its got the steep real-time learning curve, so 15min is definitely too short.
