I'm moving from ChromeOS to Manjaro. I want to put the Task Manager on the right edge of the screen, but don't see how to do this. I'm pretty sure this was possible a long time ago.

Running KDE Plasma 5.27.11 and Wayland.

My wife and I just finished playing the last month of Pandemic Legacy Season 0. OMG, that was a great ride.

We'd played Season 1 with our son at the start of COVID, which gave us a sense of agency. This version is a prequel that takes place in 1962. You're playing doctors recruited to the CIA. Instead of disease cubes, you're trying to fight off Soviet agents. However, since an outbreak would send disease to neighboring cities, and Soviet agents don't work that way (that we know of), there's a new mechanic for bad stuff that happens instead. Each player has a passport for their character. Each passport has pages for 3 different aliases you can take (Allied, Neutral, and Soviet). You'll need to create and direct teams to complete objectives.

Highly recommended. If you're interested, here's the Shut Up & Sit Down review.

Sounds like it's going to be a legacy game:

During the co-op game for one to four players, the group can experience a narrative-driven campaign that will enable players to explore different storylines and outcomes depending on their choices. As their chosen characters, players can upgrade their unique abilities by spending the experience points they gain, as well as unlock new powers through optional loyalty missions. The group can also improve their various pieces of equipment and weapons as they advance through the campaign.

According to the game’s publisher, Modiphius, the narrative choices made by players will have consequences further down the line, with there being potential for multiple playthroughs resulting in never-before-seen experiences.

Meeple Mountain has a great article on trick taking games. I want to try Sail, as my wife and I love cooperative games.

Only in March so far, but things are going well. Almost too well... It's a good twist on the classic. Anyone else played it?

Just played a good game of Roll for the Galaxy. Usually we end up finishing the game because someone gets 12 developments/worlds, but this time we shifted to producing and shipping. It came down to who got to ship first in the last time (wife had a lower faction number, so she got it). Result was tied on VP. 😀

Just played Regicide for the first time. Damn. That game is vicious!

A great cooperative game played using a standard deck of cards. My wife and I were able to win, but only by cheating like mad: Played with hands face up, and mostly ignoring hand size limit. I realize that's cheating, but we're learning it.

Very fun, but hard. Kind of like Arkham Horror done with a standard deck.

What strategies do you use when playing?

Just played a game of the original Arkham Horror boardgame from 1987. The game started off by giving us 3 gates to deal with. Finished with the doom track one away from "The end of Arkham". Only one Investigator died and needed to be replaced. Introduced 2 new people to this game (both had played more recent versions).

When viewing a post, I have to click the X in the little bubble at the bottom, or scroll to the top to get the close post button. I keep pressing the ESC key, expecting it to close the post. Can this be added?

Using Google Maps on Android Auto. When I have a destination, it shows the speed limit of the current road. But if I don't have a destination it won't show the speed limit. It still knows what the speed limit is, but it won't show it. Is there any way to have it show the speed limit all the time?

MyNoise is full of wonderful ambient environments to work to, or mask distracting sounds.
