Christmas in this house is me listening to every track on If I Should Fall From Grace With God except Fairytale of New York on repeat, and making Cajun pasta.

🚨NEW WEIRD GAME KLAXXON🚨

ECO MOFOS sets sail!!
Windwaker meets Waterworld in this rules light procedure-heavy TTRPG for solo and group play. Smash Corpo Schemes while discovering Monsters and Mecha lurking beneath the waves, guzzling ambergris to learn new spells.

I am looking for suggestions for some indie sci-fi skirmish wargames that are rules light and require very few miniatures. No campaign, just skirmishing.

Rules light enough, and quick enough, that I could play it with an 8 year old.

I know Space Weirdos, what else is there?

I am holding five coins.

I have been using vanilla android for a while and one thing stands out particularly.

The keyboard.

It keeps flagging grammar "error" with blue lines even though the text if fine, and the suggestions to fix them are comically business like and bland.

Yet the rogue "if" up there passes unnoticed.

It has taken me a month to get the knackered of holding coins exactly like this. Those in the know on coin magic will know exactly what I am up to. For some reason this has taken me ages to get down when really it seems so simple l.

The fun starts now.

I am about to sit down and watch a 4 hour lecture on coin magic.

Hopefully some good ideas in here.

A boardgame cafe but it's only solitaire games and loose leaf tea in pots.

This is such a very good game. I took a couple of years off it because I just played it a ton over the last 7 years, and had kind of played it out.

Heard it mentioned at the start of the week and felt an urge to play it again and am glad I did.

Lots of fun, is Nemo's War.

I would mostly garden the public spaces that are neglected about town to brighten the place up with flowers.

That and do magic for more people.

Flowers and magic basically.

"install Linux" is the worst advice to give to someone having problems with Windows.

It should be "Install BSD"

I know everyone is super busy right now, but this is your last day to take part in the Micro Fiction Games Jam for this year. Tomorrow morning it ends.

If you find yourself traveling with time to kill maybe try writing a micro game in 280 characters, or playing one.

Envision the Cycle

---

Envision something in its prime.

Envision it in ruins, in rot, in its final rest.

Envision its essence seeping into the earth or being recycled into something else.

Envision what is created or what grows from that essence.

Envision something in its prime.

I saw this yesterday and five minutes later had written a tiny story writing/journaling game where you eat snacks and write silly tales and then have a nap. Play it here: microfictiongames.neocities.org/2025/peacefu...

And design one yourself! It's a lot of fun!

It is that time again when everyone is at dragon meet and I wish I was there to meet everyone and play loads of games.

But also, me leaving the house and traveling to London, and then meeting a load of people in real life? Inconceivable.
