man i just started playing netrunner and i have the brainworm. i'm really happy about this, i haven't had a game give me brainworm for a very long time. it's nice that my mind is finding it easy to think about hobbies.

the combat is neat i guess, but the stability issues aren't worth dealing with. the bland story isn't helping the game's case either.

continuing my annual tradition of trying out dark messiah and then giving up after a couple hours

thank god it's over

Where Are The Black People In BattleTech

anyone who thinks the MCU is the epitome of US military propaganda clearly has never seen the 2007 transformers movie.

i love netrunner

im ngl the iron lung movie kinda looks ass 😬

A blue box with white text inside that reads You are small. You are just a handful of parameters in the infinite universe generator. A few numbers in a quintillion decimal places down the encyclopedia wand. A blip on the timeline, a speck of cosmic dust. You are also big. Your intestines are the coil-structured megacity for trillions of bacteria. Whole dimensions are born and collapse in the quantum foam inside you every second. Your dad brings you up in every conversation. You are someone's world.

sorry to be cringe about stranger things on main but i just want to say that i strive to be as cool as these men

stranger things season 2 isnt the best, but sean astin fucking kills it as bob newby

and that's just the area control mechanism, there is a whole other game of resource allocation, bluffing/betting that governs the area control stuff, im still trying to untangle all of that.

there is a pass that leads right into yellow's territory, which has 2 farms! brown can use the 2 farms it starts with to raise up a few armies, then move into yellow's territory to take the yellow farms. with these farms they can make more troops, but will it be enough to defend against others?

for instance, the brown empire has the most cities out of anyone. in general, if a player has control of more cities they win the game.

but even though brown starts with the most cities, they start with NO armies to help them protect them! but look at the SW of their territory...

im sitting on my floor now just thinking about the game, and looking at a picture of the board. im noticing more and more interesting wrinkles in the design, especially with the layout of the board.

i really missed out on a lot of the game. when im learning a new game i find it difficult to play well. taking in information, applying that information, and socializing are all three different headspaces for me.

a lot of my appreciation for new games comes from reflection after the fact

man i played war of whispers at a board game night on thursday. i got absolutely pounced. as i left, my thoughts on the game were "yeah it was fine"

but here i am a few days later, sitting on my floor thinking about the game...

i can't believe i have to say this, but a game should not install DLC to my computer if i have yet to purchase said DLC

if someone hits me with a pronounced "HOWEVER" during a rules teach i start salivating like pavlov's fuckin loser

No amount of GM prep for your RPG night is better than making sure you're excited when your friends walk through the door

man little nightmares 3 was kinda disappointing tbh

seeing all these swifties reacting to the new album is really funny

noah from Dark reminds me if slugworth

omg a new edition of Container?!?!

holy fuck im listening to a video aboot Zulu history and im identifying some parallels with the Listeners from the Stormlight Archive...

i like it when brandon at least tries to use non-western cultures to inspire his fantasy societies.

i like it because it makes me feel the same way i do when i look at old photos that have been colorized. yeah the clothes and buildings are different, but humans in those photos just seem so much more... human? they're just like us, but they lived a long time ago.

Dark is really good, but one of my favorite things so far is that they shoot each time period exactly the same, there's no vintage filters or color grading. it's all the same color pallet.

this is nice, because it makes everything seem more connected, which helps with the themes!!!

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

man im on episode 3 of Dark on netflix, and im really digging the aesthetic of the nuclear power plant. it was probably my favorite part of the Chernobyl show too.

i feel myself getting more and more boring by the day
