@amabel.bsky.social ‘s video essays are permanent queue hoppers. This one, unsurprisingly, is phenomenal. A holiday in July—a Hollanday some may say… (which, that will be a great way to support Hollandspiele, or just buy any time!). If you somehow haven’t seen this, you’re in for a treat.

There’s some bad board game media rightfully being criticized right about now. This post isn’t meant to detract from that—keep shitting on bad actors. On the flip side, I just finished up @amabel.bsky.social’s most recent video essay: youtu.be/dTepZ7qM24Q?... Passionate, investigative, thoughtful,

More Phantasticness continues with another set of games in the mail, this time from @buttonshy.bsky.social — the whole purchase planned around picking up @marcelineleiman.bsky.social ‘s Phantasmic! (Really excited for the other ones to join the never-ending Button Shy collection too)
Getting new New Mill (with another game @dnlnwmn.bsky.social got from TGM) is a great way to start the week! Was really excited about this set—can’t wait to get them played. Will always shout out what Daniel is doing and the extra care/customer service in addition to the awesome games NM is making

Much like when @ruelgaviola.com says that any day at the ballpark is a good day, any time talking to Ruel is a good time. A delightful conversation, even if you’re not necessarily a baseball fan! And for Ruel’s sake, I’ll be cheering for the Dodgers this series.
