Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

The Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. Really interesting magic system.

The way it was filmed made for an interesting modern take on the story. But, yeah, parts, a lot of parts, were beyond ridiculous.

Name a zero skips album

Suspect this isn’t everyone’s taste. If you need me to go more mainstream, NIN - Pretty Hate Machine.

Love how Werewolf By Night did b&w but with some red thrown in. I know, not horror horror, but first thing that came to mind.

Why say favorite Nicholas Cage movie when that’s clearly a picture of John Travolta? 😉

#MildHorror

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Closer isn’t even top 10.
Today we’ll go with Gave Up.

Songs That Could Be Board Games

Elevator Operator

I have this version. It is really nice.

I am late to the party, and it’s quite fun. The gremlins enjoyed it too, which is always nice.

Tiles to the game Alhambra set up in a little city.

My little Alhambra. I am remarkably bad at this game.

Forgot pics, but a co-op game of Nemesis with the gremlins. They continue to impress me with their gaming. We lost horribly, but not because they didn’t get it.
Then elder gremlin kicked butt in an all-in Abyss game.
Good weekend so far.

Things have been so heated in this country. Now that it’s July 4th we should all take a step back, take a deep breath, and say:
Fuck this administration
Fuck ICE
Fuck everyone who enables this bullshit.

In case you missed it this morning, 5 new games are up for preorder on www.newmillindustries.com!

Worst In Show - a new edition of Iyados by Mashikamaru with good good dog art by @bethsobel.bsky.social

Tezuma Trick - a new edition of Tezuma Master by Hinata Origuchi with updated scoring rules

Played a few back to back, and, yeah. There must be more there because I feel like I’m not using any of the tools the characters really give. I’ll try again some point.

I think I’ve seen Bloody Inn reprinted a few times. It’ll probably be back at some point.

A new month. Here’s the #boardgames played in June.

A game of Five Tribes set up.

All in Five Tribes with the gremlins. Elder gremlin won handily. Good teacher. :P

Box cover for Ra.

One of these days I’m going to remember to take pictures. Played a game of Ra with the gremlins today. Top 10 game. So good.

Damn. That was better.

I have a joke about Prometheus, well, it’s more like a sick burn.

Elder gremlin has been playing chess. I bought DVONN thinking she might like more abstracts. Didn’t go great. I thought it was fun and smart. We’ll try again in a few days.

Broke out Bus to play with the gremlins. I love that game, but am reaffirmed that I love it less at 3 players.

Yeah, the whole, we use ai but it’s totally not for cost. We can just get it done faster.
Sure, bub.
Bought the old version.
