Taught my kids Star Realms today. Great, simple, quick deck builder / card battler.

There's a very lovely time to be had with this game, except if you scoot the floofs off the side of a mountain 😭

I just hit Level 3000 in Rocket League, which is completely bonkers. Something like 14,500 games (at a win ratio of 50.3% 🤣)

I'm not even remotely into Pokemon, but the collecting thing has tapped into my brain.

On the table today, one of my favorites, Flamme Rouge. Played with the Peloton expansion which allowed for a breakaway situation, which didn't go well for my poor exhausted rider. Great game to play with kids this one as it's simple to play (but still tactically intriguing)

On the table today, The 7th Continent, a game I tried ages ago, didn't get, forgot about, then reread the rule-book and realised it is actually great!!!

Just finished this one and I really enjoyed it. Total page-turning stuff and what I'd describe as a really slow twist, where the whole thing ends so very differently to how it starts. Enjoyed.

Just finished Orbital, and it was a thought provoking read. I don't always get on with Booker Prize winning books, often too many big words! But this one covers a lot of ground in not many pages, portrays the claustrophobia of space travel and provokes some global/existential thinking 🤔

Star Realms made it off the shelf today. Currently in a deciding leg vs Automatons

Bluesky just got me to do an age verification thing. I chose the face scan option. I didn't like how quickly and comprehensively it worked; like "yep, you're old".

Did a nice thing on our street today, straight out of the lockdown playbook. 'Tea at 3', where everyone comes out with a cuppa and actually talks to their neighbors. I changed it up and rebranded it 'beer over here' and that was much more fun.

The amount of empty seats at Wimbledon is embarrassing and not a good look

I've just rolled credits on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This lot (and the rest of the @sandfallgames.bsky.social team) need medals. What a beautiful, beautiful game. Brutal, varied, funny, thought-provoking, artistic and breathtaking throughout. An absolute triumph 🫡

Genuine question, does anyone care, in the slightest, about the FIFA Club World Cup? Particularly interested to know from supporters of teams involved. Just seems like a loophole to line the purses of best clubs so they can continue to spend more and stay on top.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is really rocking my world at the moment. I enjoyed the first few hours but struggled with parry windows and the breadth of build options...but as I closed out Act I, it just keeps getting better. Funny, dark, shocking, challenging and a lot of fun. Bravo.

Me recently: "I'm definitely not going to be going all in on fancy new extraction shooters unless they're at 1.0 release".

Me today: "If Arc Raiders drops ANY kind of early access build at Summer Game Fest, I'm gonna lose my mind"

@vimesy74.bsky.social nice work recording a pod and having it available by morning. Like!

If anyone has been asleep for the last 15 years, go grab Limbo off the epic store. It's free for the next 6 days.

Did garden things. I find they make a positive impact on lazy summer days, heightening the enjoyment of just sitting about amongst them.
