You can learn how your pain was built on the backs and exploitation of others... so it has that going for it... :)

Fourth game of Cross Bronx Expressway in the books. Finally a victory! Really flabbergasted by this one, but in a good way. The βinteraction dynamicβ is equal parts narrative and cut throat. Lots of smart little nuggets throughout. Super relevant given current events as well. Review later this week.

OK. Last one. I promise... maybe. Regardless some paper-based reviews coming soon. Having too much fun with this thing.

Little something different as I work through my board game review backlog. The thumbnail might seem like clickbait. It's not. I believe it. I'm also not a pro handheld reviewer, just someone who's having a ball. Lots of timestamps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XTw...

Between Ohtani and Wemby, we're moving into a new era of sports. Also, the move away from network anchored commentary... it's a good time to be a fan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpm3...

I don't mean to share this to get any kind of sympathy. I'm all good. 100%. Just sharing to give an insight into what competes for space in my brain currently.

Sorry for the non-gaming related content here, but YouTube deemed fit to serve me this video. I get these kinds of suggestions from time to time (I guess because of the JRPG videos I watch).

Curious, I clicked on it. And, I got something I did NOT expect...

I'd really love if someone like @boardgamewire.bsky.social or the like could circle the wagons with publishers and see how much damage (in detail) this is doing. Not meant as a "call out" but more a "call to action". Willing to help in whatever way I can. apnews.com/article/trum...

Once again itβs as if @hankgreen.bsky.social channeled my every fiber. Can we just shut it all off? All of it. Instead of a moratorium on regulation, we need a moratorium on the power connected to these data centers. No Electricity! Five Years! youtu.be/Vz0oQ0v0W10?...

I'll post the link to his video as a comment. He created a solo "table top" version of Balatro.
