Ever try and unload you tabletop convention and the elevators to your storage unit are locked in fire fighter mode?
No?
Welp, that's our current situation. Trying to get a hold of a person is nearly impossible, thanks to useless chatbots.

This will be the first NA Fan Fest that I won't be able to attend. Even if I did get picked (did not) it would have been a tough decision. Four in a row was a good streak.

Sometimes you just need to mentally relax with A Gentle Rain. Playing on my kotatsu, just missing a hot beverage.

Get notice from Riot that my @riftbound.riotgames.com order from them is shipping.
But it's only one of the four items I ordered. It's also the starter deck I got at the release event I attended.
Sigh. Have to wait before I can deck build since packs are either overpriced or not available.

Donations sent to two different local food banks. It'll be the most important treat I do today.
Still handing out full sized candy bars to kids tonight, tho. That's not changing.

Beginning to think that the LLMs are just imaginary friends who unwittingly lie to you.
That we are seeing adverts for them makes it even worse.

It's a perfect match.

I got a chance to play test Raas back at PAX U back in November 2023. Fun game, unique theme. It's now in Crowdfunding by @arcanewonders.bsky.social gamefound.com/en/projects/...

The reason why the AI pushers want to be able to push erotic versions is simple, people will actually pay for their products that way.

Something I noticed: I got my copy of the Sweet Lands board game, went to look for a teach video to help solidify the rules. However, the ones made were from the original crowdfunding and said "these are prototype rules and will change". I stopped watching immediately.

Xbox just wants to keep stubbing its own toes. Game Pass Ultimate going up $10/mo. Even with including Ubisoft Classics, that's a tough price point.
It's a 2x increase of what I was paying. Used to get game time cards through Costco for $90/6 months. Costco stopped carrying all Xbox stuff.

September Board Game plays have been sparse due to surgery.
Hopefully October will be much more plentiful.

Cancelled my YT TV since the majority of what I was watching was ESPN products for college football.
Not going to watch them now after Disney caved to authoritarian demands.
