I feel like this thing is a guaranteed loser if it isn't the same price as a PS5, which it won't be

If youโ€™re familiar with the game please ignore that the board state in the picture doesnโ€™t make sense, we were still learning it when I took this picture lol

As a queer/trans woman in the ~current moment~ who is also going through a very very tough period in my personal life, this was a big bright spot. The way the game spotlights such an interesting moment in queer history both thematically and mechanically is a delight

Finally played @wehrlegig.games new game Molly House this weekend and wanted to shout out its wonderful and unique design by @miasmacorp.bsky.social and @colewehrle.bsky.social. Our group of queer girls had an incredible time, hard to express what getting to play this meant to me right now

epic finish to our latest 3-player Blighted Reach campaign of Arcs tonight. I managed to come back from distant last to win in the final chapter!

Arcs has kind of amazed me. forget board games, this is amongst my top gaming experiences period

solidified as my favourite board game of all time

If i get one of these it will sit next to my steamdeck by the TV and I know I will absentmindedly grab the wrong one constantly

brutal but i feel better being in good company, added to the list of quite a few head-scratching rejections i've heard about this year

the last time i was supposed to go to chicago SCMS went online, so I fear this is all part of a plot to keep me from ever trying a deep dish pizza

this will not be a game for everyone. Luckily for me it seems to be a very โ€œAndy codedโ€ game lol, had a blast and canโ€™t wait to try the campaign. I fear if they make a steam game with multiplayer I will never finish my dissertation

I appreciate the sentiment here but the second thing is actually way closer to why they taught computers to play chess

SOTE is goated but it's hilarious that it's on here, not only is it a DLC for a different game, you can't even play the DLC stand-alone.

Wukong is the most overrated game I played all year, maybe ever, did not like at all

Saw some people say Dragon's Dogma 2 should be here and sorry, but no

If you're in Toronto Monday the 25th I'll be giving a research talk at UofT's Centre for Culture and Technology (where I am a research fellow) on my work on military simulation and the American war in Vietnam. Open to the public, event details can be found here: www.cultureandtech.utoronto.ca/events
