Good for them! And they only had to strike for a week. UC grad students were on strike for way longer and barely got anything.

I’m glad you made this thread. ME trilogy is my favorite game ever, but even though I’ve owned Andromeda for years I’ve never played it. Thinking I should try it out for my next game.

Project Zomboid, Terraria, No Man’s Sky, Satisfactory

V Rising (boring), Phasmophobia (boring)

Next game to try is called Smalland, I’m excited

For sure! I’m about to teach a class and am using a really great free textbook from OpenStax. It was really important to me not to increase the financial burden on my students.

Horizon Zero Dawn. I went long stretches of not playing so it took me over a year to play through it. I enjoyed it a lot! Very cool story and Aloy is a great character.

ME series is my absolute favorite! Hope you have fun with ME2, it’s a blast.

Yep, MW and Andromeda merger will be a “major merger” that will have huge effects on both galaxies. The ones I work with are small (“dwarf”) galaxies that have a much smaller effect on the big one that eats them.

Testing it now, seems to work pretty well. Aside from search, which you said you’re working on, links don’t seem to work? It would also be nice to have somewhere to see replies to your comments/post. It would also be nice to see what instance each community comes from. Thanks for your hard work!

Some ones I’ve had a lot of fun with recently:

-Herd Mentality, where everyone tries to guess what the most popular answer to a question is

-Loaded Questions, where everyone answers a question and someone has to figure out who put what answer (both of these are really great for getting to know people better)

-Monikers, great for a larger group, a mix between taboo and charades. Super super fun.

-Mind the Gap. Great for mixed age groups like families. It’s like trivial pursuit but you have to answer questions from different time periods.

I’m working on my Astrophysics PhD. I study “galactic cannibalism” aka how galaxies grow and change by eating smaller galaxies. My big focus is on teaching and outreach though rather than research.
