Played World Order today! Just 2 players so it was Europe (me) vs Russia. Really fun highly thematic game. I was like "damn I really don't want to waste turns I could use to trade or produce to create armies to defend against Russia". . . . Oh 👀 Hope to get to play a game of 4 soon. #boardgames

They are a decent way to get some credit or materials if you don't feel like grind them (especially the signals which j find veeeeery boring to gather)

Hard mission require fully engineered ships or on foot armour/weapons in my opinion. In honesty I feel I get carried when I attempt them by the other players. Easy should be doable with ships normally fit for PVE assuming you are in a team of 4 and there is OK coordination 😅

Aaaaand managed to bring Hegemony to the table once again 🤩 This week might also have a chance to play World Order. I wonder how the two differ from each other. #boardgames

I didn't play with them until recently. They are a bit quirky, but a fun way to get some combat action! Hope to see more in the future. So far my fauvorite is Under Siege!

Doing prospecting work can be a little frustrating as it looks too much random, at least for now. I really hope a way to make the "finding" part as fun as the gathering.

I am having a lot of fun with Surface Mining in #EliteDangerous. Right now I am mining a 6 rig Tritium spot, filling up my cargo ship pretty quick. And prepping my carrier for a journey. Is it super engaging? No. But I can chill, do a little bit or reading, programming, while I cycle the miners

Meet Hoag’s Object, a galaxy that shouldn’t look like this Its enormous ring contains billions of stars Most ring galaxies are created by collisions between galaxies. But in this case, a collision appears unlikely So what created it? We still don’t know (Credit: NASA/(STScI/AURA)/Ray A. Lucas)

Episode 16: Rotten to the Core! Crime has a different flavor here than elsewhere in Charted Space. Especially in Shinkan—one of the best subsectors in the Core for setting a crime-focused campaign. I get into how and why in the latest Signals from the Core. Available now: pod.link/1830887367

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵

Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

I struggled to bring this to a table, but the local game store owner suggested me to organize a "learn to play" table with no expectations to finish the game. And I went from 0 people interested to 4

Equaton @equaton.eu · 11/09/2026

No problem! :) It's a complicated game (as in lots of pieces, steps) but it's intuitive and it clicks. Recommendation is to teach the minimum needed ans just play as soon as possible. After a round it all makes sense

Worker class made strong use of Strikes to make points. It was a socialist state, free health care, so capitalist was doing its best to make the state default, worker class did their best to vote for high taxes or get lower wages in state owned companies. This in a couple of turns.

Equaton @equaton.eu · 11/09/2026

The thing I loved the most. The players were complete newbies to the game, I suggested the game in a local game store. After teaching the rules, I could see terror in their eyes. But after we start to play it clicked for them. Capitalist waited the right moment to force a tax reduction,...

It's an amazing game. Takes a lot to setup and teach but its just so good

Thank you!! I missed the list of minerals! 😅 For the size of the site, like how many how hoppers I can install, is there a way to assess before visiting the place or that's random?

To my fellow CMDRs, is there a "technique" to find good surface mining spots on planets for the Rhyno? Are there like planet characteristics that make a big mining site more likely to appear? Or does it all just seem about "going there and find out"? #EliteDangerous

Equaton @equaton.eu · 06/09/2026

I have been playing #EliteDangerous on and off for... 10 years now? Today it's a big milestone of my space adventure. I finally managed to buy a Fleet Carrier! I'm going to use it to explore the black, exobiology and use the new surface mining to get tritium (or mining it the old fashioned way)

Having lots of fun with the new Aliens Fireteam Elite game. The new classes are very fun and the temporary health unlocks having such an outrageous amount of enemies that can surround you without being a direct kill. Hope to see more end game content added and loops. #videogames

Equaton @equaton.eu · 05/09/2026

So excited to bring #Hegemony on table this week. It's a very heavy game, but I like how all systems in it make sense intuitively and all the table conversations that happen organically. #boardgames

Wile E Coyote is my favourite cartoon character ever. I was obsessed with him when I was a child. I'll need to go and see the movie, this is very fun.

Another great #Root night. This time I played the Keepers. For the first time. They are... Something 🤯 I learnt by mistake that you are not supposed to pack up all your camps and relocate... I got stuck with a handful of units and I got eradicated a couple of times 🥲 I'll try them again though

Equaton @equaton.eu · 31/08/2026

In #EliteDangerous I am somewhere around the Galaxy scanning for flora and bacteria. Sometimes I land on a planet no one ever visited before. Exobiology has been a fun game loop over the years, especially when I need to relax and decompress. I wish it was a bit deeper though, future patch?

Not joking: I think this is a legitimate form of living history for online games. It's like an old-timey pioneer town where people pretend to be blacksmiths. This is a more accurate way to experience what WOW was like 20 years ago than being in an empty server

I really felt the analysis paralisys at one point and I had to ask for help to snap out of it. The game really pushes for efficient moves, but also there is so much foresight needed to not get bricked with no resources and the right cards. Points being on cards you buy was too much for my brain X_X

I managed to be in 2nd place of 5. I have no clue how I did it. My head is spinning and my soul is shattered.

Excited (and mildly terrified) of playing #Concordia tonite 😅 #boardgames

The temptation to "be all in" in any hobby is so strong but nowadays it's also a good way to get burned out really quickly. It's not a competition, and if it's a hobby, there is no pressure to perfom. It's ok to like something and wanting to enjoy it just casually.

Equaton @equaton.eu · 20/08/2026

That's the problem I have with most of the recent Kickstarters. They look fancy with great pieces and graphics, but I am really not sure about the gameplay. I have plenty of games I backed and that I only played once and gave away.

Equaton @equaton.eu · 20/08/2026

Favors too are fun but I definitely didn't deserve that win today if it was not for the sheer luck of the draw. #boardgames

Equaton @equaton.eu · 20/08/2026

Amazing game of #Root today! I got to play Otters against cats and birds. Very close last turn. In the end I got lucky as I drew the right Favor and secured the points for the win! Very fun, but I will buy the Partisan deck, as the base deck is too swingy and some of the cards are not great.

Equaton @equaton.eu · 20/08/2026

I hope I'll get to play Cats or Crows. I could be looking at Otters or even Vagabond. Just no birds please 🤣

Equaton @equaton.eu · 20/08/2026

REALLY looking forward playing Root today 🥰

Equaton @equaton.eu · 18/08/2026

I went 1-2 which is surprising 🤣 One game was a Death Door for both of us and was just a matter of turn other of whom casted a bolt spell. So nice loss! That was pretty fun! Now I need to find good cards to make my Harbinger deck better #SorceryTCG

020

Equaton @equaton.eu · 18/08/2026

Going in a game store playing #Sorcery with my shitty first ever deck, a Harbinger list. It's a thing cobbled together from cards in the Gothic intro box and some freebies I was gifted. Wish me good luck 🤣

There are a couple of games I keep coming back. One is Elite Dangerous. Hands down an amazing and immersive space simulator. Vampire the Masquarade Bloodlines. Flawled jewel. Played more than 15 times now. Will keep playing again and again. Alien Fire Team elite. Dunni why, but I find it cozy.

... stand for myself. Redirecting the anger inside instead. Toxic. Today I *am* angry. For a lot reasons, but mostly because I feel my boundaries have not been respected. I will use that energy to make me solid, and protect myself, in a directed, focused manner. I will use it to stand for myself.

Equaton @equaton.eu · 17/08/2026

I have been historically a very calm and collected person. I was "trained" over the years to not show anger as that was seen as undesirable by society, and tipically by the "you need to better than them" crowd. This lead to an uncountable amount of damage to my person, as I was never able to...

The Prospect's Edge sector of the Outer Rim is bordered to spinward by Milliam's Dark, to coreward by Orion Shoulder, to trailing by the Atlas Gap, and to rimward by the Diomedes Dark. A very sparse sector, it is home to 36 charted systems, all of which are formally Non-Aligned. Max TL is B.
