    there's a lot to love about being the community manager for a scrappy cyberpunk card game collective, and writing sassy social media posts is HIGH on the list

    @benhamill Oh, there ya go, a train station that also includes a bus!

    It's a bit disorienting to realize that if I came into $500 this instant, I'd have to really try hard to persuade myself not to just buy $500 worth of LEGO sets.

    @benhamill When I was falling asleep last night, I was imagining a LEGO passenger rail train, and I guess it exists! How cool to have a little LEGO bullet train!

    ...it turns out, it only takes a gentle push to turn me into a city-building, model train enthusiast, of a sort. ?

    @ilja @MNNHNewsEnglish Have you seen any reporting on this that's not from brands.town! Because the account you linked is from an instance that posts parodic fictional brands. MNNH is not a real news service.

    If you have, and MNNH is riffing on real news, then I'm definitely curious, because that's bad stuff that should rightly be discouraged.

    I've been eyeing some of the #LEGO sets geared toward adults (like the floral arrangements or the modular buildings), but have managed to hold off because I don't have anywhere in my home to display them, and don't need more Stuff.

    But then, when I was talking to a coworker yesterday, I noticed he had two of the LEGO succulent sets on his windowsill, and I realized: I'm a therapist. I have an office that could use some tasteful decor.

    That might be the crack in the dike...

    what is this impulse

    @benhamillBecause you could put a bus on the street in front of the buildings and no other vehicles at all and it would be glorious.
    I am now imagining a LEGO city that has bikes and buses and light rail. ?

    @silverwizard @me You have a block quote that starts with [quote] but ends with a "/code" tag. At least, that's what I see.

    THING 2: NETRUNNER IS AN ECONOMIC GAME.
    I know how alluring the cyberpunk theme and the ice-icebreaker interactions are. Because of that, and especially if you come from a history of other "dudebasher" card games, you're likely to assume that your path to victory is getting enough countermeasures (ice or icebreakers) to dominate your opponent.

    And, look, I don't mean to dull the magic, but I think to get better, you have to recognize that #Netrunner is, first and foremost, about two resources: clicks and credits. Everything else is just dressing on top of that.

    Understanding this can help you orient yourself to more skillful plays. It's common for new Runners, for instance, to refuse to run servers with multiple pieces of unrezzed ice. "What if it's something nasty?", they fret, and they draw cards, hoping they can find something that keeps them safe.

    What they often fail to realize, however, is that by not running, they're giving a significant economic advantage to the Corp, and that's what wins games.

    Think about it: you need agendas to win. To get them, you'll need to run servers. Meanwhile, the Corp wants you not to run—not only to keep you out, but also because rezzing ice costs money, and they want to use those credits to advance their cards. If you choose not to run, that's awesome for the Corp. They paid next to nothing just to install their unrezzed ice, and it's scaring you off! Best of all possible worlds.

    As the Runner, you have one and only one basic action that offers you economic interaction with the Corp, and that's your basic run action. So use it. Call the Corp's bluff. Force them to choose between ponying up the credits and letting you in. It won't always go your way—see Thing 1 above, about giving up on perfect security—but it will at least be more effective economic denial than sitting back and installing cards.

    And as the Corp, think long and hard about each credit you spend. My classic example is PAD Campaign. It costs 2 credits to rez, has a trash cost of 4 credits, and gives you 1 credit each turn.

    If you install and rez a PAD Campaign, then also install and rez a Palisade in front of it, you will not see a net profit from that server for five turns. Why would you do that?

    Netrunner is an economic game. Yes, it will suck to lose a PAD Campaign you spent 2 credits on, but for the Runner to trash it normally, that will cost them 4 credits! You spent 2, they lost 4. You will likely emerge from that in a stronger position than if you fooled yourself into spending a fortune rezzing and protecting the asset.

    No matter which side you're playing, the cards in your deck are more than just what they say. They're all pieces to be used in the economic battle that is Netrunner.

    Apropos of nothing, I wanna share some #Netrunner new player strategy. Between the Netrunner subreddit and the Green Level Clearance Discord server, I frequently find myself giving the same points of advice, so I thought I'd condense them into a thread. Who knows—maybe this will lead the way to a blog post in the future!

    So, anyway: Here are some thoughts that will help you get better at Netrunner.

    The real question is whether I'll finish a workable version of my new website before our baby arrives.

    (My bet is no.)

    Big-hearted goofball, nonmonogamous rascal, and dad to the Best Cat and Best Baby. I run this joint. I love local, small-scale communities built on trust and sharing. Also, board games, Netrunner, open-source software, decentralization, fountain pens, secular "magick", and good whiskey.Fascism is a loser ideology.
