Folks I’ve been using #pocket since ‘09 when it was mainly to download stuff on the spotty uni halls WiFi and save on pre-3G roaming charges. Any recommendations on a replacement?

There’s an essay brewing in the back of my head titled “Board Games shouldn’t worry about complexity as much as they do”
All I will tell you about our new video is that it is about arousal.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.
Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.
If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

Playing Portal on a console is weird (I’m playing the Switch port). Something about it just screams computer game and I can’t tell if it’s a cultural/contextual thing or something about the design itself.

Question: has anyone on here ever printed and subsequently played a Print & Play board game?
What game? What was the prep experience like? Was it easy to get the table? How did it play?

First game I finished this year is Arranger by @furnimatgames.bsky.social! Really smart puzzle design that hides the constraints and maintains believability of the world as a space. I love how the art is integrated like a storybook to bring life to a grid while keeping game logic consistent.
