New site, new profile? I love board games. I pretty much live and breathe 'em. Amateur miniature painter. Wife and kid are awesome. Consummate hermit. Fuck AI and fuck you if you defend it.
I suppose I can behind this.

I run the academy where we teach right wing influencers how to stand normally and these are my two best students. Very proud of them

My ratings skew very high (at least I assume most people would see it that way) because the way I see it: why hedge on things that bring you joy?

With over 600 ratings I've given two 3s, one 3.5, and one 2 in all my years. I hated that 2 with the fire of a thousand suns, but even then it didn't get a 1 from me!

Bit messy because I'm prepping for a massive re-arrange, but I'm a sucker for space/space-adjacent games.
The rest of my collection is color coded or designer based, but space games get their own spot.

I slept on Blasted Wastes a long time because it *looked* boring compared to the other worlds. I'm glad I finally bought it though. It adds so much cool stuff. The enemies aren't my favorites, but everything else it brings to the table is pretty cool.

I love the vibe of Trederra, though keeping track of patrols is a little fiddly. Great encounters, enemies, and loot though. Minefields are cool too.
derelict ship remains my favorite, though.

The unpredictability of paints can be annoying. I have paints that have been with me since I started 2 years ago and I have paints that have dried up or split with just a few months of disuse.

Chrome has been getting consistently worse. It's kind of Google's brand.

Back before I went full atheist I actually ran the youth group with my wife for a tiny Lutheran church in NC. 20 yrs ago or so. The board booted our amazing pastor there too because he taught love as well and had no fire and brimstone in his repertoire. That was possibly the final straw for me.

Fair points! I suppose my highest ranked games I consider "light" are:
Azul - 9.9 (my #15)
dixit - 9.3 (#34)
6 nimmt - 9.2 (my #40)
Vegas Showdown - 9.2 (#45)
Bottom of the 9th - 9.1 (#54)
Everything around them is at LEAST medium if not heavy...or at least hard to get to the table for reasons.

City of Remnants is a sleeper hit for me. It got reprinted as Neon Gods or whatever, but I'm happy with my og version. It's unique and weird.

As a former kid back in the 80s and 90s that read a thesaurus for fun, this makes me so sad I'm not even gonna bother to use a flashy synonym for sad. 😞

Omg I have been wanting this to happen for years. It probably won't happen, but good to see it's becoming a bigger topic of debate.

Woo! Welcome Joel! I didn't follow THAT many people on Twitter, so always nice to see a new old face migrate over here.

21....that would be 2000 for me. And while there are some years where picking just one album would be hard. 2000 isn't one of them for me.
