bignose<p>So why did <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Squatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Squatter</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/BoardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGame</span></a> have a big impact on me? Hmm.</p><p>Partly because there just weren't many board games around, in my youth. Highly-produced board games were very sparse on the shelves, there certainly weren't board game sections in department stores.</p><p>So I think a big part of it might be: Unlike every other (again, not many) board games commercially produced and available to be discovered, in Australia at that time<br>this one was made in Australia, and made for Australians. I'd never seen anything like that before.</p><p>This was a new concept to me. <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.social/tags/CulturalCringe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalCringe</span></a> is real: a huge proportion of "Australian culture" is imported wholesale from other countries and plonked in front of us to consume.</p><p>This was different, and even though I can't express why, it felt great.</p>
Strypey<p>I like this saying ; )</p><p>"'There's a saying that I heard;</p><p>'Don't kill the part of you that is cringe. Kill the part of you that cringes'. </p><p>And that's just what I try to think whenever I'm worried... 'am I being lame, or embarrassing?' Yeah, I probably am, but, like, whatever."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/AnnaHarcourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AnnaHarcourt</span></a>, 2023</p><p><a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2018909222/mediawatch-for-1-october-2023" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/</span><span class="invisible">mediawatch/audio/2018909222/mediawatch-for-1-october-2023</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>podcasts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/RNZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RNZ</span></a> Mediawatch <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/CulturalCringe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalCringe</span></a></p>
