I like the Terraforming Mars board game but it always seems that I go for a corporation that does X, and then get cards that exclusively cater to every other letter of the alphabet. I'm like "I need solutions to generate power" and my entire science team are "Hey I just invented a tardigrade."

Sword of The Sea was wonderful, beautiful, and meditative— exactly what I needed
BUT I cannot describe the gamer joy I felt seeing a NEW GAME+ mode in a Giant Squid title
I’m gonna go absolute sicko mode on this game

Finished “Lies of P” twice now and what stood out to me more than the perfect combat and cat-petting was how excellent Hotel Krat was as a hub world
Cohesive to navigate and the brilliant record player allowed me to stay engaged and make my visits as cinematic and moody as the boss fights.

With just “Departure Songs” and “Triumph & Disaster” #welostthesea already solidified themselves as the greatest Post Rock band
Now they have an album trilogy that further demonstrates how they are in a league of their own. This was worth the wait, and I am shaken to my core.

Why the Kitchen Is the Most Important Room in a Sci-Fi Spaceship
You can tell a lot about a science fiction story and its world by sharing a meal with it. Just ask the crew of the Nostromo in Alien....

Finally played “Mouthwashing” yesterday
Some of the best instances of “show don’t tell” in gaming.
This one will stick with me for a while

How I’m trying to be
Amazing ego-deflating moment yesterday at lunch. Staff member comes over. ‘I think we have one of your books in the office.’
Me (smugly flattered): that’s entirely possible.
He: yes, you left it here last time you visited.
