Battle with 4 cruisers, 2 dreadnoughts and ancient ship

Draco has done a fine job of defending the ancients and GCDS is still standing in the final round but it's time for the all in push.

This is the third year running of birthday Eclipse though sadly couldn't pull a full 6 players together this year.

And we have lift-off!

We've had some scheduling issues so having an impromptu strike tournament while we wait

I remain somewhat cynical on the hobby's over reliance on game trays but they're utilized real nicely here where you can just hand each player a tray with everything they need.

Videogames are cool because sometimes they just look like this

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

Oh awesome, I've only flipped through it but there's some absolutely beautiful work in there.

Gonna blast the Price is Right failure trumpet every time I mess up a line recording the podcast.

You wouldn't kickflip a train!
Densattack! is an incredibly slick rail-grinder score attack. I don't broadly have much interest in chasing high scores or trick variety, but it does have an excellent sense of spectacle keeping the action fresh.

A 2D side-scroller of a space-ship moving like flappy bird through a tunnel with obstacles and red gems scattered across it.

Veinrider is a Flappy Bird Roguelite which feels inevitable but also primally compelling. Fairly basic in presentation but does very quickly start escalating and approaching the satisfaction of Steam World Dig in collecting gems and very quickly feeding those into pushing further each run.

Just set mine up and 5 minutes in there's no going back.

Just me and the kid today, so a couple of birthday weekend treats, making the most of the beautiful day reading in the park, and wrapping with Castle in the Sky

OMG. That's just hype laundering lol

Esc or Alt+F4 on B seems appropriate

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

What are you binding to these bad boys?

It got those good clicky clacks

Wife and I don't often do gifts but we're trying to make more of a family tradition and make up for unemployment frugality. Here's my birthday treats.
