Want to play free outdoor soccer on the South Shore?

Nice, well, me too!

Imagine showing up to a field, kicking a ball around with folks, laughing when you miss a wide open net because who cares. This is what I’m looking for and open to organizing if it doesn’t already exist.

I am not looking for a paid indoor league, nor to be the next Messi, just to have some fun. I’m thinking weekly gatherings whenever the weather is nice, probably on weekends but open to a weekday night too.

Please let me know if you‘re interested. Will provide orange slices.

Disclosure Day viewers, please create an account on Rotten Tomatoes and leave an HONEST review of the movie!

That movie was absolute dog water. A million plotholes. The world‘s worst game of hide and seek that never needed to happen.

Clearly they bought favorable reviews on RT. There’s no way any honest person of sound mind could rate that movie 5/5 stars.

It’s time for the real Disclosure Day. Audiences deserve the truth.

EDIT: To the Spielberg stans and bots in the comments, yes I will waste my life making this 2-minute post. Yes, this is my life’s focus. No, I will not go outside ever!

I made a goofy Massachusetts map game where regions fight over towns and cities

It‘s basically if Risk and r/place had a baby.

Folks are always fighting over what town belongs to what region, so this is an orderly group project where we simply decide what belongs where for ourselves!

You start with 20 points. It costs 5 points to capture a neighboring town, and you regenerate 1 new point every 10 minutes minute.

No accounts and the map resets weekly, so the whole thing is meant to be low-stakes and dumb. If you spam and keep opening new browser sessions you'll get the boot.

All hail the South Shore!

I love hosting game nights, and I’ve run a lot of Jeopardy-style games before, but I wanted something closer to Wheel of Fortune.

Most of the options I found were either console games without much customization, DIY setups, or PowerPoint templates, which meant a lot of manual work. So I built Spinorama, a web game where the host runs everything from one screen.

It makes hosting and playing super easy. Scores update automatically, most actions have keyboard shortcuts, and voice prompts help keep the game moving. You can also create your own custom games, categories, and puzzles.

You can try it here (no signup required):

https://play.spinorama.io

Would love any feedback!

I like running custom game show nights for friends. Usually Jeopardy, but I wanted to try a custom Wheel of Fortune-style game.

The options I found were basically:

  • console games (can't add your own word puzzles or categories though)
  • PowerPoint templates
  • or fully DIY

None of those felt great, especially having to manually track score and game flow.

So I built Spinorama. It runs in the browser and the host controls everything from one screen. It handles turns, scoring, and flow so you are not juggling rules the whole time.

https://play.spinorama.io

Some things I focused on:

  • host runs everything from one screen, players just call things out (no phones)
  • game flow is enforced so you can’t accidentally break the rules mid-round
  • keyboard shortcuts for basically everything
  • speech prompts that tell you whose turn it is and what actions they can take
  • no signup needed to try it

Would love any feedback, especially from anyone who has tried hosting games like this before.
