I come here to post about video games and board games and end up getting worked up over politics. Myrmecophagidae on Xbox, Nintendo, BGG. He.
I love how Instagram sends me a notification that so-and-so has added to their story, and I click the notification and it brings me to that person's story 0% of the time. Just a flawless app. Please put the people who made this in charge of the whole country. Nothing will go wrong.
It's probably no cause for concern that for over 40 years I never experienced the phenomenon of Canadian wildfire smoke filling the sky here in western New York, and now it's basically an annual occurrence.
I don't follow the news, I just read the YouTube comments on the video for Celebration by Kool & the Gang.
Experienced this at a couple Pearl Jam shows way up in the nosebleeds. Very cool. MSG was absolutely cooking last night.
Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · 2mo agoSo what you might not know is that MSG is suspended in the air severals stories above Penn Station and when people start jumping the place actually shakes. I can only imagine what this felt like, on top of what it sounded like.
Someone should invent a USB-C cable that stays plugged in.
I wish more things happened in the world that made me say, "I'm glad I'm alive to see this."
Got my Lands of Amazement expansion collection (game by @scottalmes.bsky.social) in the mail today. After much fiddling, I finally pulled off a perfect ultrapark. I love the tension of blowing up a pretty good solution because you think you can do better. A top-tier @buttonshy.bsky.social game.

I just can't shake the feeling that maybe, if I scroll hard enough, It Will Finally Happen.
And people are out here talking about the next console generation. A next-gen console for, what, $1200?
Tom Warren@tomwarren.co.uk · 4mo agoSony is raising the price of its PS5 consoles: • PlayStation 5 – $549.99 to $649.99 • PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99 to $599.99 • PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99 to $899.99 PS5 Digital has now increased by $200 since its launch price of $399.99 www.theverge.com/games/902224...
If baseball games are going to have those blue screen ads behind the batter, they need to disable them when half the field is in shadow, because every at bat looks like the rancor fight from Return of the Jedi.
I love when there's something going on that everyone but me is watching and my feed is just full of posts like, "Wow! I can't believe it!"
Pulled out Under Falling Skies for the first time in over two years. I forgot how much fun this game is. Tense, puzzly, quick to set up and play, and very modular – all hallmarks of a great solo game. Haven't tried the campaign yet, but hope to get to it soon.
Played my first game of Draft & Write Records. Out together a weird band with two bass players and no drummer, although they do apparently own three drum sets. Fun game, although I do question the decision to involve yellow colored pencils in a ____ & write.
With how much tech bros misunderstand sci-fi and are inspired by it to implement their AI-powered vision of a future that they didn't realize was a cautionary tale, I wonder if we're about to be inundated with biotech bros who have completely missed the point of shows like Pluribus and Severance.
First (solo) play of Men-Nefer is in the books. I snuck past the automa 78-67 despite contributing almost nothing to the great pyramid. Really fun game with a slightly tedious setup. Some good combos, but doesn't get out of hand. Can't wait to try this one with some human opponents!
I love how much of curling is just someone going, "whoa whoa whoa!"
Very on-brand of the Trump administration to hire a convicted rapist to lecture us about being fat.
I wonder if Garphill Games has ever had a sale called Discounts of the West Kingdom.
Took my first stab at ranking my games on Pub Meeple. Here's my top nine. Seems accurate.
