And that’s what therapy and counseling is for, and why it’s so important

Why not meet up at a park and go ride bikes or hike on a trail? Or go to a coffee shop or bar for board game night?

Instead of pointing out problems, maybe people should be looking at solutions. When I was that age, cheap pizza, microwave, popcorn, and a $5 DVD from Walmart was a perfect fun night.

Thoughts and prayers for our Gen X friends who lost so many of their icons this week.

Andy Byron's wife reacts to Astronomer CEO allegedly caught cheating The Astronomer CEO's wife changed her name on Facebook before deleting the account.

“Now in the morning I sleep alone…”

For me, Miracle on 34th Street. “Maybe I didn’t do such a wonderful thing after all.”

What was your least favorite last line in a #movie?

Happy #ThinkingPuzzleThursday! Reply with yes or no questions about the following puzzle unless you think you know the answer:

A thief is caught in the act and stopped by a young babysitter, but only the babysitter gets in trouble. Why?

PC with ZIP files: “wait, you skipped a step, you have to right click the zip, hit extract all, pick the place you want to extract to…”

Mac with ZIP file:

I really did want to enjoy Wingspan, but it feels less like a game than an art installation with instructions. And a friend put the gameplay a great way: It’s like people playing individual games of solitaire than playing against each other.

What are some #boardgames you really wanted to like but just never could get into?

The hate for Nintendo is and always has been weird in the gaming community. Like yeah, the new console is going to cost more, but y’all literally paid $700 for the PS5 Pro and $70for a new remaster of Skyrim.

Final Fantasy protagonist names fit into one of two categories:

- Front man for some punk rock band from the late 70s
- Background software your job requires you to have installed on your work computer

A24 - Pretentious movies for pretentious people

I want this so much now. 🙃

To be totally fair, BB Tag not being well-received might have had something to do with it

I have so many mixed feelings about Academy Award winning movies. Sure, the production value is good, but when is the last time you heard someone say they watched Licorice Pizza or Power of the Dog?

Needing to have an ice pack strapped to my chest when we have single digit temperatures is cruel irony.

Can someone please explain why people love The Big Lebowski so much? It feels like a bunch of random plot points that don’t connect.

I haven’t watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs & Other Stories since it came out but When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings has been stuck in my head for days.

Find of the day! Looking forward to trying this one out. #BoardGameSky

I’m glad @scalzi.com is on here because I want to tell him personally how much I enjoyed Slow Time Between the Stars. Best sci fi story I’ve ever read.

Hey #booksky any tips for starting a book club?

5. Fortune Street (2011)

Another series big in Japan, this crossover game brings Mario and Dragon Quest characters together for a board game that in many ways are similar to monopoly, except with a stock market and different paths to victory rather than just property buying.

4: Dave Dude in the Holiday Story (1996)

Instead of playing as an epic hero, you’re an average guy trying to go on vacation but gets locked out of his apartment before he can pack. Simple, but a fun experience, especially in the context of the mid 90s.

3: Guardian’s Crusade (1998)

It looks like “my first RPG” because in many ways it is, but while it’s accessible for younger players, it’s got a little something for everyone.

2: Custom Robo (2004)

The first 3 Custom Robo games never came to the west because Pokemon came out around that same time, but this one made it here, and it’s more than just a robot fighting game. It also has a pretty deep and engaging plot line.

1: Sky Odyssey (2000)

This flight simulator has some of the best music in any game ever, and it’s actually pretty relaxing to play while also being challenging.

5 #HiddenGem games time forgot:

Maybe instead, we should just let people enjoy what they enjoy without putting them down or judging them…?

Think about it. Mascot is a cartoon mouse, hundreds of colorful characters, dominates media of all kinds, target audience is children, and some fans make it their entire personality.

The only difference is when someone likes Disney past the age of 25 it’s ‘weird,’ but when it’s Pokémon it’s fine.
