A game that is not on a computer... So they don't even calculate damage or move distance for you. And you have to buy each figurine and paint it yourself...
And people are spending all their money on this? That's why we're not mining asteroids right now?
I feel like people could just use AR glasses for this and spend nothing but their time.
You approaching this the wrong way. What you are listing as disadvantages is, for the most part, the USP.
For example, if you are in the target group, you buy it exactly because it does not uses AR glasses; If you are proficient, you are sleepwalking the damage/distance/all other calculations within seconds in your head, you don’t even have to take a single look at any rule book. The biggest selling point, however is: there are others sitting in front of you, it can be very competitive, you can see the reaction, like in chess.
> And you have to buy each figurine and paint it yourself...
This is a _feature_ for the target audience. There's a sizable chunk of the playerbase who enjoy painting more than the game. I even have friends who paint these miniatures professionally as their side gig.
> And people are spending all their money on this?
No. Most people are playing at home on a budget, similar to other board games. A very tiny fraction of the playerbase plays competitively and have larger collections.

You can play this game in Tabletop Simulator, which supports VR. It's _far_ less fun than playing in person with real objects. TTS is mostly used to test strategies before committing to buying the required miniatures.
As sibling comment mentions, the damage calculation is rather simplistic, and it's an exciting moment around the table when you roll a fistful of dice, kind of like gambling. I'm not even that proficient of a player and I can calculate a 17 dice roll attack while sleep deprived at 3AM, no computer needed.
We have <input> and <label for=""> elements, but what about <validation for="" condition="" message=""> elements?
Condition could be a wide range of possible built-in validation functions or a custom regex or js function.
Instead of adding all these validation attributes to <input> elements you could have zero or more <validation> elements, each with their own message.
The message could automatically appear when its conditions fail. Unless you call preventDefault() inside an "invalid" event handler. The invalid event could have a list of all "validations" for that element and you could check their status via js, disarm/ignore them individually, or get their messages etc.
Don't we already have that basically, with HTML5 form validation[1]? Often just using the pattern attribute is enough to make sure you don't get a phone number in your email field etc.
Yes, but it's user agent UI which is not really good in any of them.
Good error messaging is important and having styleable semantic elements would be helpful. It's tricky because you often need more than one error message per input, not just "required" but too big, too small, wrong format, etc.
Right. You can use browser validation and extract the error messages with JavaScript (to style them yourself, e.g. [1]), but there’s no solution without JS yet.
More restaurants, more music, more entertainment, more culture, "scenes", more romantic partners, more job opportunities, high energy, hustle, fashion, always something to do, etc.
They are, but man the appeal does wear off, at least it did for me.
I moved here when I was 24, and I loved it for the first 8 years. Almost overnight, when I was 32, I realized that I actually don't enjoy living in the city anymore. It's loud, expensive, I don't really do "indie" restaurants, I don't like most art, and I'm married so I don't really need more romantic partners.
I still live in NYC, purely because my current job won't let me move, but I have been looking for an escape.
If Direct File takes away too much revenue from Intuit by handling all of the simple cases, then people with more complex taxes will have to pay quite a bit for their tax software. It might not even make sense to continue producing it. Or at least that could be what Intuit lobbyists are furiously telling republican congressmen.
