I didn’t think “playing pool” was obscure enough to post in this thread, but come to think of it I play a pretty obscure variant of it called “straight pool” pretty much exclusively with my friends. In straight pool, the last ball of the rack is left on the table to break the next rack, so you can keep running balls “straight” from one rack to the next. In competition I play the more popular games, but at home it’s almost always straight pool.
Here’s my highest straight pool run on video:
It’s probably similar. My high break on a 12’ snooker table is 60, and I’ve played much less snooker than straight pool.
Last pane of American Chopper meme:
Call me when you drop 50 on a carom table!!
I listen to the same song repeatedly tens of times if it’s stuck l in my head.
Same. That’s why services like spotify or pandora don’t work for me. I want the same song over and over and over and over, please.
How this usually happens to me is that I’ll be listening to a 1-2 hour EDM set or mix, one song will really grab my attention, I’ll find it on youtube, and end up listening to it 50+ times in the next couple weeks.
I’m curious how it happens with you?
Depends. Sometimes it pops into my head. Others I hear and have to listen do again. Yesterday, I listened to “No Surprises” by Radiohead God knows how many times throughout the day.
I’m a bit of a logic puzzle fiend. My latest obsession is nonograms, a kind of art meets logic puzzle.
Picross is great. I have recommendations
Android: Hungry Cat Picross
PC: Pepper’s Puzzles (and Everyday Genius: Square Logic if you like KenKen stuff)
I’m a big puzzle fan too. I go in streaks of what type I do. Nanocross held my attention for a while but eventually it became too robotic, if that makes sense. Recently I’ve been doing Unequal/Futoshiki puzzles. 6x6 is the perfect challenge where it’s not easy but not painfully difficult.
Yeah I used to do tons of nonograms/picross on my phone while on conference calls
Futoshiki, sudoku, kakuro, etc are all good also
And good old fashion logic problems with the grids are great on paper and pencil. I used to get those magazines of them at the store as a kid.
This whole series of puzzle sites have cost me many hours
that says nonograms, but it is really a series of puzzle games
Other good site for puzzles
area 51 addicted me hard
That is perfectly fair, especially in this thread. Yes I have spent many hours doing a puzzle called area 51 on a krazydad site
I used to play hours a day on Sporcle trivia stuff. I can (could?) locate each country in the world on a blank map, which is very useful i’m sure.
Too small.
Not a country 
I’ve been browsing local auction sites for comic and magic card collections from people I presume died of COVID. Officially a part of this late stage capitalist nightmare!
You puzzle people might enjoy Parks Puzzle. Looks like on that krazy site it’s called Star Battle, but there is a good Parks Puzzle app that has tons of levels of varying difficulty.
my son randomly asked me a couple days ago if i had any Power Nine laying around lmao, i guess he saw a youtube video about them or something. I of course do not, i have probably 1K-2K of legacy staples though.
