consolve vs pc

Uh, pc, of course. You can't do your income tax return on a console.

Silly Evai. Think before you speak.

[Froggychum]

You can, though?

I always do mine on the console. The method is simple:

1. Realize you need to do your taxes.
2. Play video games instead.
3. Repeat until the IRS comes knocking.
4. ???
5. Profit

I need to make some money and it's 2022, what video gayme should I play

[Froggychum]

virtual poker

[Evai]

Oh like on Game Boy? I never did manage to catch all 150

[Froggychum]

hmm... then how about starting a SolelyAdmirers? I heard that makes good money for the aesthetically privileged!

[assdef]

I think ExclusiveSupporters is the start of our society evolving into a meritocracy, but the merit that is revered is how attractive you are.

[Froggychum]

beautocracy?

do y'all play Wordle?

today I thought I got lucky at first but then nope.

I also enjoy Dordle (where you have to guess 2 words)

Yes.

I don't get it...

I mean, the rules are sort of scrabble sudoku right?

But... no hints? And you cannot reattempt after your first go, so you cannot even do any trial and error?

So it's all luck based, right?

Seems f*cking boring.

In UK we have the game show Lingo on TV, my nan watches it all the time (but Lingo gives the first letter so its easier)

Spoiler:  

I use the word "SOARE" to start which is an obsolete British word meaning "hawk" - and that is cheating a bit since I would never use that word outside of wordle ever. In today's edition it made the second guess easy to figure out.

None of that is true, so I'm thinking "instructions unclear, scrabble tiles inserted into anus" is the outcome you get?

[Froggychum]

I just clicked atom's link so i have no idea how to play, no.

I thought the rules were to make a grid where all verticals and horizontals spell out specific words.

Never heard of this before, so the game looks really boring (because you cannot win by skill) if that's all there is to it.

I also don't get the square thing you guys are doing. I guess it represents the color (validity) of the tiles?

Sounds like a cult. /s

Botched this one. Should have done it in 4.

Also, if only there were some sort of instruction screen built in to the page that would give directions on how one plays this mysterious wordle game...

Mad attitude but thanks anyway.

Obviously, I missed this screen (hell, it may not even have appeared on my browser IDK) so it's not like I willfully ignored it or smth

With that said, I see how this game could be fun for some people now. Still not for me, since it seems to require you to have multiple available friends who are also interested in it, to test with. My network ain't that big \o/

Puzzle games are usually singleplayer, so maybe I'm just a 19 year old boomer.
