I would say it should be fine as a solo game if you’re into that, but better as a 2-3 player game to have someone to discuss and bounce ideas against.
I can imagine that as a party game it would be chaotic for sure!
Definitely needs the right group, and I think you can’t take the scoring too seriously, especially playing in larger groups. Pretty sure I also have never had a positive score even in a smaller group.

Honestly, Letters From Whitechapel is a better design of the same concept.
For detective story games, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is amazing.
And for public transit games, Bus is the way to go (probably)

Scotland Yard or Letters from Whitechapel?

It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.

Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.

Why would you get hate for that? Just because a company that sells cheese also sells raw milk when they probably shouldn’t?

- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 4 weeks ago:
It most certainly does not. Source: have a tree, a lawn, and no interest in spending time raking leaves.

But “level isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.
- Comment on At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"? 5 weeks ago:
In twenty oh one.
So I skip twenty oh oh in favor of the year two thousand
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 weeks ago:
Is that why every single application will only work with some ancient version of Java?(usually 8, sometimes 1.6 or 11)
I can’t think of many cases where Java 21 is a drop in replacement, and I don’t think I anyone actually used 17.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 weeks ago:
That’s exactly the reason. And also no company is going through the bother to refactor that shit, so everything is named based on some other company 5 mergers and acquisitions ago.

It was that in combination with the “engine-generators” yes. Made it unclear.

tends to be extremely hostile to any sort of monitization
This is a good thing, seeing as how monetization has ruined other things, the web newspapers in particular.

Authoritarian communists, especially those not native to such a state.
Currently it’s mainly the folks who believe China in particular can do no wrong. Historically it refers to supporters of the USSR in Britain
Specifically, it was used to distinguish [CPGB] party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
More recently it’s applied online especially to people who are knee-jerk anti-capitalist or anti-US, “if the US/‘west’/capitalism is wrong then anyone who opposes them must be right”
More generally, a tankie is someone who tends to support “militant opposition to capitalism”, and a more modern online variation, which means “something like ‘a self-proclaimed communist who indulges in conspiracy theories and whose rhetoric is largely performative.’”

Lemmynsfw does pretty well. It’s a shame that the main instances don’t federate with the porn instances, but it does nicely prevent either from overwhelming the other.

I hate it because it shows up everywhere and adds nothing of value while displaying busy formatted text. If it lately shows even less meaningful content, that barely seems possible.

I’d rather not. Not sure if you can view the mod log for other people’s accounts, but if so it’s easy to spot from mine.
I’ll say that I have some sympathy because dealing with internet randos is painful soul-sucking work and it’s easy to default to the ban-hammer, but…

- Comment on Final Fantasy VII fan translation restores every lost instance of Cloud saying "let's mosey" 1 month ago:
TL;DR the phrase was translated in an inconsistent way that made it jarring when it was kind of supposed to be a catchphrase.
This mod makes it consistent so it’s only strange instead of strange and off-putting.

To me it reads more like speech recognition trying its best with a strong accent or bad audio source.
