I recently put together my top 50 games, so I figured I would share them with Bluesky.
My process was to dump all the game I've played at least twice since 2020 into a list, remove the ones that were obviously not top 100, then put those 150 or so into pubmeeple, then tweak the list.

Last dose of progesterone tonight. Not sure how I feel about it. Being off it will likely make it easier to lose the depression weight from last year, but it’s stablized moods quite a bit.

Happy Thursday. More testing today to see if we can figure out why my left foot is randomly swollen.

Thanks to those who reached out and chatted last night. It was nice and I'm feeling a little better today after a better night sleep with no nightmares.

In that phase of mental health where I'm sure that effective therapy would help with the suicidal nightmares and spiraling catastrophizing, but also I'm sure I'd sabotage any chance of it being effective because of my deep mistrust of therapists due to my experiences as a teen.

Sadly, this won't happen. Already had multiple cis gays tell me the fact that Obergefell didn't fall (this time) is proof the trans community is exaggerating how bad this administration is.

The Eagles offense is so feast or famine this year it is stunning.
They've had 87 drives not counting 2 1 play kneeldowns.
Of those 87, 35 (40.2%) had 0 first downs. 29 punts, 3 turnover on downs, a safety, a fumble, and a field goal.

Well, the hope that the trigeminal neuralgia was a one-off seems dead -- I can feel it starting to come back (slight discomfort instead of incredible 15 seconds of pain) when I touch that part of my face or smile or talk. Going back on the med in the hope that it stops the attack before it starts.

2 minute TD drive a good second choice.

This is the stupidest half of football I’ve seen. Almost make me want to torture myself with Flyers hockey.

My board game group has an all day game day 2-3 times a year, and this Sunday is the next one, and it'll be my annual play of Mega Empires -- last I heard we are 10 players.

We’re moving Ottawa forward! Lansdowne 2.0 is a smart, responsible plan that invests in one of the city’s biggest attractions, while protecting taxpayers and reducing risk. This project will give us a better, more accessible Lansdowne, and new opportunities for events, sports, and public gatherings.

There is the correct answer. Brandon Marsh pulled a Cuomo TWENTY TWO times with 2AB, and 10 times with just 2 PA, leading the Phillies on both lists.
