I also have a list for RPG systems I'd like to try, but that one is seeing far less use, unfortunately

One unexpectedly effective life hack I found is whenever I see a book (occasionally also film) recommendation online that looks neat, I NOTE THE FUCKER DOWN in my Notes app immediately.

When I finish a book, I go through the list and pick the next one immediately. Did wonders for my reading.

Oh yeah, the 'but is it fun' comment gets to me as well.

I've always felt like fun is A RESPONSE, not a PRODUCT CHARACTERISTIC.

You have fun as a response to a piece of media, if it has elements you like. I can tell you what elements the product has, how am I supposed to know if you like them?

Currently midway through my first proper full attendance movie festival and I can't recommend it enough.

I go to the cinema a decent bit, but the opportunity to watch 3-4 a day, some of them quite off-the-wall, really makes one re-examine what they're looking for in movies. One being me.

My Biggest Problem with MTG's Universes Beyond

I go into more detail in a video on my channel, but the above is the gist: youtu.be/pND_25_nZJo

Feels good to finally be able to fully vocalize my pov on Universes Beyond.

I see the utility for onboarding new players & reactivating lapsed ones. The what-if aspect of seeing an Aang card is a fun secondary bit

Still feels like a tradeoff to the detriment of my excitement with OG magic stories.

Echoing this bit. Part of the satisfaction I get from running games comes from succeeding at a task that's a bit challenging.

There are probably areas where I could personally see the friction removed, but it wouldn't be the same if the process was overall easy. Or automated. Or something.

Why These Card Games Feel Like Board Games, Scientifically
YouTube video by Games Deconstructed Why These Card Games Feel Like Board Games, Scientifically

New video on the channel - I go into why Altered and Riftbound feel like board games to people, but also how categories and categorization works in general.

There's Aristotle, Wittgenstein and Falkor from the Neverending Story

Finally picked up Blue Prince and it resulted in rarely seen levels of hyperfocus.

Baffling how it's simultaneously a best-in-slot escape room AND a solid standalone tile laying board game.

Is and has been one of my favourite formats. Decently competitive but with enough space for pet decks to occasionally shine.

Just beat the final mission of Gloomhaven (PC) with my partner.

100+ h and yeah, I get the hype about the board game version. Also a stellar digital implementation.

the virus starts in the throat, which cuts your in-game comms. So we went through all the usual sci-fi tropes of "No, he's probably all right, I've seen him running around. Probably a comms malfunction".

We connected the dots only after we saw his body floating outside. Fucking blast of a game.

Had probably my favourite moment playing Barotrauma yesterday.

Our Medic used all his anti-zombie virus meds on the rest of the crew, realized he had it himself. Pumped himself full of antibiotics to stop the incubation for long enough to get to the airlock and jump out.

All in silence, because...

Looking for sound effects for Youtube is so unserious.

Yes, I'm looking for the perfect boing. Will also take a twang, perhaps a swoosh.

It's an analysis of self-ressurecting card designs across a couple of my favourite games.

Hate how Youtube pushes automatic mid-rolls in videos.

Yeah guys, I definitely wanted 4 adslots in a 13 minute video, including one after 1 minute 15 seconds. That is the intended viewing experience I had in mind.
