After finishing the gunpla, I figured i should use my remaining motivation to (finally) build this dice tower I've had since August 2022. I picked it up from the Ferris State University table during that year's Gen Con. It took way less time to complete than the gunpla did.

#adhd is great! 😅
A spiral dice tower with open sides made from laser-cut wood. It has a large wooden flag on top and curved wooden brackets that serve as the base and dice capture tray.

I built a thing! It took longer to complete, and was smaller, than I expected, but it was still fun. I definitely get why the hobby is so popular.

Too early to say if i "caught the bug," but i do have another kit to try out.

I don't think trump's little blue pill is any sort of gotcha moment. More likely it's a simple answer like this.

A couple Wednesdays ago i also played my first, and so far only, game of Finspan. I enjoyed it more than Wingspan (schooling the fish is fun), but i think it still suffers from a minor "the cards are working against me" problem. Really like the dice mechanic, and I'd definitely play it again though.

2nd, Faraway (misspelled in my previous post): fun and FAST, and fun. I really enjoyed how it forces you to think backwards for scoring. The first card (of 8) you play is the last card to score. The trick is that the cards may need specific icons in order to score - icons that are on other cards.
Box art for Faraway. Name of the game is on the lower part of a white box with an orangish-red line above the name with half an arrowhead on the right end of the line. Below the name is another line of the same color with half an arrow head on the left side. Above the name, centered on the box, is a character wearing a purple cloak and a large purple hat, similar to a sombrero, with yellow tassels and a reddish highlight on the edge of the brim. The character is surrounded by various mushrooms. The Pandasaurus Games logo is on the bottom left of the corner of the box. Table view of a 2-player game just before scoring. 8 game cards are spread out in front of each player with bonus sanctuary cards to the left of each players' game cards.

Tuesday evening, i played both Nunatakk and Far Away.

1st, Nunatak: fun game, even if we got the 2-player rules (more than) a bit wrong. I can still see that it's got fun mechanics and looks neat on the table.

Looking forward to trying it with 3, and with the correct rules, in a few weeks.
The box for the board game Nunatak Temple of Ice. In the foreground of the box art are the bases of snowy mountains with the name of the game centered between them. In the background is a large, pyramidal ice temple with an internal reddish glow. The temple itself is framed by a blue sky with scattered, orange-ish clouds Basic setup of Nunatak. The game board is in the center of the table. The temple "cap" (top) is to the left of the board. 18 orange player blocks are lined up on the near side and 18 turquoise blocks along the far side. The build cards and elder cards are set up to the right of the board next to the board level stacks.

Hey, @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social, a buddy of mine is clearing out some kmf game mags.

Do you know anyone who might be interested?

I understand why many Americans are hesitant to accept what’s happening—acknowledging the reality of a coup in progress is frightening. But we must confront the facts before us with clear eyes: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are systematically seizing control of the federal government’s machinery through plainly illegal means. They are violating civil service protections established by law, shuttering congressionally mandated agencies without authority, and subjecting career public servants to ideological purges.

I give Ajax old pillows to use as beds/bedding around the house. This one is on his favorite spot on the loveseat, and he will never give it up.

The dog has white, short fur with liver/brown colored "freckles" and splotches.

If you think that you are a savvy politician because you got Trump on your side regarding congestion pricing and meanwhile he is stripping thousands of your citizens of their birthright citizenship, you are wrong. If you think that you are a savvy union leader because you got Trump to a little better place on trade and meanwhile he is stripping every woman in your union of her right to abortion, you are wrong. If you think that you are a savvy liberal writer because you cajoled Trump into a little better place on foreign policy and meanwhile he is telling your trans friends that the government will no longer legally recognize their identity, you are wrong. You have made a miscalculation. You have not taken in the full picture of what you are dealing with here. You have been sold a worthless little bauble in exchange for something real. You have not done the math. You are the Greater Fool.

Wait...so, if I'm reading this EO correctly, we're all female now because it's based on the moment of conception?
All human individuals—whether they have an XX, an XY, or an atypical sex chromosome combination—begin development from the same starting point. During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. After approximately 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, however, the expression of a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that result in the development of the testes.

Yes, those are definitely unique and in no way remotely similar accounts that I will absolutely follow in return...

...right after i report and block.
January 20, 2025 at 10:36 PM
This is clearly a bot account, and there are other similar ones - like democratinsider. They're posting identical skeets.

I blocked this and one or two others because they're posting identical skeets and are very young accounts. I also reported this one for good measure.

Fuck bots

Report on sight

This is a pure distillation of the problem right here.

"...one of THOSE Mexicans." (Emphasis mine)

He's human first, but that's not how they see it.
“I didn’t even see Roberto as Mexican,” said Angela Banfi, a friend and waitress at the restaurant. “He was not one of those Mexicans. He was like a white boy to me."

He's a sleepy boi
An old dog sleeping in the corner of a red couch. He has large, liver colored markings and liver colored freckles on white fur. His fur has greyed somewhat on the tips and edges of his ears and snout. His left foreleg is tucked under his body and his right paw is near his face. A bit of his red collar is visible on the back of his neck.

Played "Gizmos" (1st ed, cmon) last night and ended up with what is probably the most productive engine I've ever had. This is my board right before I triggered the end game and scored 55 points.

So, yeah, Real ID was intended to standardize IDs across the states so things that require IDs for verification were easier to do. I guess that includes Massie's complaint, but it doesn't make it the main purpose.

Posted this earlier today. Shameful malpractice by most major media outlets.
The most interesting thing about the Hunter Biden pardon is not the pardon itself - though that is mildly interesting - but how it is being covered by the media. Every story/headline/alert I've seen about it has prominently mentioned that Biden initially said, months ago and before kash patel was nominated, that he wouldn't pardon Hunter. On the other hand, almost _no_ articles/headlines/alerts about Trump's appointments prominently mentioned that trump disavowed Project 2025 and his campaign supposedly blacklisted anyone associated with the effort. Meanwhile he's nominated multiple project 2025 authors who are being treated as though they're regular folks. I think this says a lot (and none of it good) about the current state of the media and how the media has failed to properly cover this historical moment.

Played "Dead Cells" for the first time last night and had a blast. The 3 of us even beat the first level and the Concierge on our first try! Then we got spanked, but that was fun too!

It's super smooth and felt very balanced. Total playtime with teach and two buy phases was about 2.5 hours.

The box is standing upright on the table in background, and some of the player boards are shown in the foreground. Two character boards, player aids, and stacked decks from the board game Dead Cells. The Immolated is at the top, and The Flayed is at the bottom.
