I haven't really visited since the new forum update. I was having some issues so decided to give it some time before trying it out again.

It seems to be responsive and a big improvement in a lot of areas.

Are there any sports games out there where you can do a franchise/dynasty with someone where you're able to play on the same team?

I used to play 2K associations with a friend on the same team, but it was offline

sidenote: we were terrible

You can play EA NHL 2-players on the same team in franchise mode, at least up thru NHL 24.

I just realized I should have added from two different consoles.

Agree on all counts. Even with the responsiveness, I'm finding myself not visiting more than once or twice a week as it currently stands.

I completely forgot about screen sharing. All these years and my brother and I could've been doing this a while ago.

UNO question...

I've been playing UNO with my brothers kids the last few days, and they play different than the way I remember playing when I was a kid. I dont know if they are playing wrong but when I was young and someone hit you with a Draw 2 card, end of discussion, you had to draw two cards. The way they think it is, if you have a Draw 2 also, you can play it over the original draw 2 and the next player in line has to draw 4 cards. That just doesnt set right with me. Anyone know?

my take on that is house rules vary, but need to be established beforehand, otherwise draw two means draw two

When I played the PS3 (or PS4?) version, I learned a bunch of rules in that game I never knew. But they were the official rule set.

Stacking is not an official rule.

I need a new line of work, something easy and relaxing. I'm getting too old for hard work. I've been thinking about becoming a maestro. Wave a little stick around and listen to other people play great music. I think I'd be great at that. Sounds like a sweet gig, if you could get it. But I dont imagine you can just walk into a building a say "I want to be a maestro.'' ??

There's different versions of UNO so maybe different versions have different rules?

One of the games I know of is Uno No Mercy (or whatever the name is), and IIRC the rules in that one is that if someone plays a + card, you can continue the chain, and the person after you can continue it, but the second it's someone's turn who doesn't have a + card, they must pick up the total at that point (so it could be +2,+6,+2, then the 4th person doesn't have any so they pick up 10).

But when playing with kids, I just find that although games have official rules, in the end all that matters is that everyone plays under the same rules, even if it slightly differs from the "official rules". It's not like you're competing in some official world championship Uno competition where you must follow a very specific set of rules or else you're disqualified.

I believe this is what it is, the version they were playing, with the plus card.
I hadn't played UNO since the 90's, so I wasn't aware of different versions, and its certainly morphed unto quite a different game now than what it was then.
Its like not playing poker for fifty years and then playing it again only to find that new rules exist where a 2 of spades and and a 4 of hearts now beats a royal flush lol.

I used to love posting on OS but the new update really killed the vibe for me. The OS app wouldn't work, tapatalk had tons of ads...I really was turned off. I think now that most of the kinks are solved and I look today and zero posts in the first week of CFB.

It's a shame.
