Apparently I am really sensitive to motion smoothing/video interpolation/“soap opera effect” that TVs do now. I’ve pointed out that people have the setting on so many times and most of them never noticed things looked weird.
Some ones I’ve had a lot of fun with recently:
-Herd Mentality, where everyone tries to guess what the most popular answer to a question is
-Loaded Questions, where everyone answers a question and someone has to figure out who put what answer (both of these are really great for getting to know people better)
-Monikers, great for a larger group, a mix between taboo and charades. Super super fun.
-Mind the Gap. Great for mixed age groups like families. It’s like trivial pursuit but you have to answer questions from different time periods.
I’m working on my Astrophysics PhD. I study “galactic cannibalism” aka how galaxies grow and change by eating smaller galaxies. My big focus is on teaching and outreach though rather than research.
Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s the third in a really awesome, incredibly well thought-out sci-fi series.
