Sadly, not really feeling it this season of The Last of Us. I enjoyed the first season…felt story focused. This season feels a bit too much “Defeat the _____” level and then progress to the “_______” level.

Just to be clear, we went from a truly bat-shit crazy tariff to an absolutely awful one.
Some will frame this as a “win” and “genius negotiation” versus the hot mess it continues to be.
This admin punched us in the face. Switched to punching us in the gut & said “We made the punching better.”

Am at a local burger place (Al’s Frys in Vermont) and I’m sitting across from an older gentleman. I’m guessing mid-80s. Looks to be in good health. He has a large soda, a pint of fries, and FOUR chili dogs with onions, relish, and mustard.
Sir, I tip my cap to you. You are my hero.

Well, I guess I can take my time working on our next game. A 54% tax (tariffs are just another way of saying it) pretty much puts the brakes on that.

Been tinkering away at our @thegamecrafter.bsky.social prototype for our first “big box” game. Playtests have been fantastic and am looking forward to having a shiny version to get the ball rolling towards production. #boardgames
