It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, drink some stagnant water you found in a puddle outside, argue about board games (Talisman is way too popular a game for how terrible it is), and talk about whatever your heart desires.

As always remember to follow our civility rules and save any meta feedback for our modmail. Additionally, please keep chat non-political - we want to keep these threads light and off-topic.
