We bought our kid a set a few years ago. He and I played it a few times. We finally got my wife to play it with us one evening last week.
Neither of us is particularly impressed with it, but it's good juvenile mindless entertainment. Hardly any skill required. I, for one, don't play to win.
The wife preferred Superfight (?).
She had also been considering buying him a Cards Against Humanity set, but decided not to after we played it with some friends.

PHD Comics: Half Summer Personality Test
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No time now to read that. Summer is half over and I still need to do a few things...

July means half of winter is done

None of them here. So you'll have to expand your definition....

Wishful thinking on my part...
We normally consider June, July ,august as winter rather than the offical 21 june

'Round here, summer begins around mid-March and runs through late November. Then there's a four-day weekend known as autumn. Followed immediately by winter, which is when you might want a light jacket.

Summer half over?

Then again, there are some needs that are never filled.

So finding undiscovered / unfulfilled needs is a need that nobody's filled yet?

Yes; it's a meta-need.

If there is even a remote possibility that you'll want to localize your application, create all the strings first and use them instead of literals.
Really. Trust me on this.
|
|

Literals (or better the lack of them) make one of my personal code quality metrics, and not only for resources. Another one would be 'stringly typed code' (or hopefully the lack of it).
And then we had that guy who dilligently put all his SQL strings in resources. As if we ever needed localized queries.

Generally a good idea, but there is a limit to that strategy. I worked on a product that was internationalized, and we discovered that the SMTP server wouldn't talk to it any more. Some strings should not be translated to the user language...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Don't generalize too early.
You don't know what the future will bring.
About twenty years ago I was assigned some maintenance on part of a system. The code needed to read and write fixed-format files to communicate with a third-party system. Someone had gone through to a lot of trouble to make this positions and lengths of the field configurable -- "See? You just change the config, to don't need to recompile... " I can hear him say.
Except no one _ever_ needed to move or resize the columns. My first task was to _add_ two new columns. And _adding_ columns to the convoluted configuration process was a PITA!
(Aside: that third-party product wasn't Y2K-complaint and was replaced anyway.)
By the time I had left the company I had completely redone that subsystem to make it flexible in a completely different way.
