For some reason, I've been thinking a lot about when a not-insignificant portion of the board gaming internet showed their WHOLE DAMNED ASS about the fakir cards in Five Tribes.

Finally - FINALLY - recorded my first video for YouTube today.
It's a channel introduction for Pixelart Meeple. I don't yet know when I'll get it finished and uploaded, but I FINALLY actually *filmed* it, and for me that's a big step.
Hopefully it's the first of very, very many.

My wife and I are about to start our first game of Everdell Duo, paired with pints of Crux Fermentation Project's Tough Love [Banished], a 14% ABV bourbon barrel aged imperial stout.
Doors are open, breeze is breezin', gulls are squakin'... doesn't get much better.

We also got a really great, and shockingly close, 5p game of Terraforming Mars in that night.

Had an awesome board game night yesterday and got to play Everdell with the new oversized cards.
Yes, it's a space-hog, but it looks SO GOOD, and the bigger text on the cards is, IMO, an essential upgrade.

Everdell is already a space-hog, even on my enormous gaming table, so these are just going to make it worse.
But I DO. NOT. CARE.
Imma be playin' some giant-ass Everdell soon!

All of this.
Also: If you've lost your ability to enjoy playing "simpler" games, you've lost something valuable. Go back and play some of those games and learn how to engage with them, because they're not "less than", they're just different.
It's a skill you'll appreciate developing.

Hot Take: When meeting people who love board games that are lighter than your taste, stop saying you need to "level them up" to more complex games to turn them into a "real gamer" like you. You sound like an idiot. Don't be surprised if they don't want to game with you again.

My wife won both of these games, but ABSOLUTELY RINSED us all at SETI. She ended with a score of 223 and the next highest score was 156. Just ROCKED us.
Got a chance this weekend to play two new games: SETI and Finspan.
I really liked both of them! Sorry for the terrible pictures!

This week, I begin filming videos I intend to put on YouTube.
As yet, I have no firm release date, but all the prep is finally coming together.

Decided to delete my IG account early. Their algorithm was never going to show anyone my final post again without me doing work to repost and push it, and I don't feel like putting in the effort on that garbage platform anymore.
If you followed me over here: Thank you. Spread thr word, if you can.

As much as I wish my decision to leave Instagram was as easy as when I left Facebook and Twitter... it will be genuinely difficult to give up over 4,000 followers there. I'm starting from scratch.

My final post to Instagram is about Meta's evolving disdain for safety, inclusion, and humanity, and it *IMMEDIATELY* got a bunch of right-wing chuds yelling at me for my lefty weakness.
I love it when my decisions are immediately justified.

Posted my last post to Instagram. The day before my birthday on 2/21, I'm going to give myself the present of deleting my account there.
It'll be kind of nice to only really have one social media platform to engage with. At least until Bluesky's leadership also capitulates.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2016, but kept my Instagram account. In general, I've liked it both for following and exposure.
But now that, across Meta, fact-checking is out, "A.I." is in, and guardrails against hate speech are being taken down, I think I need to delete my IG accounts now, too.
