If you see Possessors in stores but wonder why you should buy it when the team was let go even before its release, they get a profit share.

Disembarked, got on the connecting train, this one is heading to, uh, "self test", and every stop the driver reminds us of our heading. Hmm.

I'm also... like... IF that story is real (which I doubt, because it's 2025), what's wrong with the dad? He'd be the "okay, yay" meme personified, but less lovingly?! Just READ the page about your son being a abuser / murderer waiting to happen 🫠

I'm mostly happy with my Linestrider. The quality leaves room for improvement (few cards came scratched, and it's standard cardboard), but the art is gorgeous and included a little booklet that doesn't just explain the cards, but also the artist's interpretation and references to traditional decks.

Me at 28, travelling to my third event within 3 weeks: tee-hee, this will be fun! Look at the map I drew with all the stops I've taken!
Me at 38, after my third event in 3 weeks: I'm dying, I'm literally dead, please just leave me in this box for a thousand years, I need to rest

That's enough #silksong for me.
I'm glad I played it blind up to the end of act 2 (with the small exception of looking up if Mt Fay was worth it), but the entire act 3 was... honestly, a slog.
Felt like the devs abandoned a lot of their design principles, or rather worked with an entire new set.

When talking about shows being on streaming platforms, always mention a country.
"is on netflix" is traditionally false, except for whichever country you're in.

They, uh, might have more boardgames. (Wouldn't be there if I wasn't helping a friend exhibit their game!)

We're so fucked. And even if - which is unlikely anyway - all the people responsible are held accountable, from management to little guys just doing their job, it doesn't undo the damage.
Confiscate their wealth right now, and use it to start fixing things 🤷♀️

SO ODD how they're always "I'm politically all over the place" but then are pro-slavery, invite neo-fascists to chats, etc. SO WEIRD.

Okay, this tickled me. Log-in at the coffee shop's WiFi. First time you click on a option it bounces you back with the "you forgot the checkbox" highlight, except it states -white on red- that this is NOT mandatory.
Clicking a second time takes you to the log-in popup. That's such a dark pattern 😂

#Silksong problems with Widow 2nd phase? May I recommend my "remember how unlikely it was for the dvd to hit that corner" strat. Almost* impossible for her to hit you as long as you counter that one attack...
