Defederation blocks communication both ways, I believe.

Love Letter. A very quick game with just 13 cards. Games take about 3 minutes so you can play multiple rounds if you want. Suits 2-6 players (best at max 4 in my experience). Generally very popular and easy to learn.

Comes in dozens of themes as well, if you don't like the "princess in a castle" theme. You can find Batman, Cuthulu, The Hobbit, versions depending on your preference.

The theme is very minimal. I think the premise is "someone is trying to sneak a letter to the princess. Guess who has it? The guard? The maid? Etc." It's just a deduction game.

But there are also loads of "themed" versions if you prefer. Batman, Cthulhu, Munchkin, Santa Claus, Legend of the Five Rings, The Hobbit, Marvel, etc.

And since there are only 13 cards, you could easily re-theme it with a Deck of Many Things or something.

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but PLA the plastic itself is food safe. As in, you can put it in your mouth and it's fine. The issue comes from the 3d printing process which tends to create small pockets and porous surfaces where microbes can hide and grow once it gets wet, kind of like a sponge. So you could print a single-use fork and eat with it, but don't reuse it later.

I think an insert for cutlery would be fine since you aren't going to be getting it wet or putting it in contact with your mouth or food.

Ooh this is neat. Unfortunately my shelves aren't divided into cubes like a Kallax, but I do like the idea.

What about something like Aeon's End? Not racing on a map, but racing against a clock, because the big monster is going to destroy the world if you are too slow.

Awesome deck building, but an extreme sense of urgency.

I had some other games in mind, but honestly, none of them would have the longevity that Netrunner does. This is an excellent choice.

Are you looking for separate games to play in between roleplaying sessions, or games to play "inside" the roleplaying game?

One game that comes to mind is "Love Letter". A fun little card game that involves a little bit of deduction and bluffing but only takes about 4 minutes.

Is there a particular product that you have in mind as an example?

I always see pictures of people's collections with boxes stored vertically on their edge. Looks nice, but when I do this the pieces inside tend to get jumbled around.

What's the general consensus on the best way to arrange boxes on the shelf?

I know this is answer is overdone at this point, but a pretty good chunk of Brandon Sanderson's books are this.

Wait, Gormenghast has Science fiction? When does that show up? I only read the first book so far and don't remember a lot.

If I see a URL like this, I, and.... polling my coworkers here..... All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

I'm happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous. I'm happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever "stoneclub" is.

It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.
