Best new board game I played this weekend was Heroes: Write & Conquer from Hobby World.

Unfortunately, you can’t buy it anywhere… at all. If you picked one up at Essen and don’t want it.. hit me up.

Where’ve I been? I’ve read 66 books this year.. plus Hades 2 released fully. Also loving Absolum and Ball X Pit is a fun diversion.

Anyway, I will be at Lobster Trap later this week to get my board gaming on. Say hi if you’re there!

Rolled credits on Hades 2 a couple
Days ago. Amazing game, 10/10.. still more to do, but..

Absolum co-op with my son is absolutely stealing the show. It’s so much fun once you put a few hours in, learn the mechanisms, and start to get permanent upgrades. And it’s so pretty too.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just announced she's removing the age limit for ICE applicants, which allows literal teenagers to now apply. What could possibly go wrong?

Tonight, my wife took my two girls to see Rod Stewart in concert. They don’t DISlike him, it’s just not their thing. But that all changed when Rod played “Forever Young” and dedicated it to Ozzy and then accompanied it with an AI video of Ozzy in heaven taking SELFIES with dead musicians.

I would’ve replaced Flip 7 with Castle Combo on that SdJ list… but what do I know?

😬 CEO of the Op: “With Trump I thought, maybe, there might be a method to the madness...I’m concerned now that there is madness to his method...[but] I don’t regret my vote” 🙈

At least the "Tariffs will kill Christmas" message is getting out there.
Opinion | Trump Is About to Steal My Friend’s Christmas — and Yours (Gift Article)
A disappointed supporter reflects on the madness in the president’s method.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I haven’t been active on here lately, but I’ve been playing games, enjoying life, and I’m on my 23rd book I’ve read this year. See ya’ll at Geekway.

Looking forward to Granite Game Summit this weekend. Not sure who I’ll know there, but I’m hoping to make some new friends and see some old friends as well.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Maybe read a book before you vote next time.

Maybe Marvel Snap being hit with this ban will get the incels to pay attention.

Reminder for anyone who sees Trump as a savior: He lobbied to have tiktok banned in the first place, and now he’s positioning himself as the hero by unbanning it. It’s theatrics.

the last item on this list, while least important, strikes me as the most telling about future direction.
internally at Meta:
-trans and nonbinary themes stripped from Messenger
-enforcement policy now allows for the denial of trans people's existence
-tampons removed from men's restrooms
-DEI programs shuttered
-Kaplan briefed top conservative influencers the night before policy changes were announced

I’m going to be watching this D&D pinball very closely to decide if it’s worth trading in my Godzilla Pro.

It’s a dream theme for me and I used to own the old Bally D&D pin (w/ topper), but it just wasn’t worth keeping gameplay wise.

From time to time I run across a game I wish I had created. This is one of them. Absolutely loved it and had to get a copy.
