Yeah I think they were doing a FLGS incentive. They also only had so many copies too (like 40).

I loved it solo! You play four hands face-up. Very puzzly with some good interactions.

Oh no! New infatuation unlocked. Played the first one more than 70 times. Imagine this one will follow suit (ha!).

What a wild few weeks:

Dissertation defense, conference attended, presentations, meetings, conference managed, an interview, and just all too much all the time.

Phew.

But I’m spending some free time digging deeply into the Proton ecosystem and starting Breath of the Wild.

In a bit of shock at the moment and wanted to share:

I'm presenting at a professional conference next week about creativity and tabletop game design in the gifted education space.

A book publisher just reached out to meet to explore potential "opportunities for collaboration." What is this life?

A black and white sticker of a drawing of a generic looking man with glasses and a beard. Except instead of an ear there is a handle of a mug and a big opening for the head.

I might have made stickers out of a 10 minute doodle I did of my head as a coffee mug.

Sorry! Alt text. I got excited!

A white mug with blue stripes at the bottom and a blue handle. The opposite side of the handle has a long yellow beak and two eyes, making it look like a seagull!

Now that I have that pesky dissertation behind me (🫠), I received a box full of zines! I love that I wrapped up my crowdfunding campaign 9 days ago, and I already have the game to send out.

It’s the best!

I have a list of book series to read!

Did you ever watch Battlestar Galactica? The newer one (not the 70s one)? Ronald D. Moore, the show runner for BSG, was a major writer on DS9 beginning in season 3 (after TNG went off the air).

Yeah fair! DS9 is my favorite through and through even having grown up with TNG. Such a wild ride of a series.

I watched the first season a while back and then neglected it. Started over last week and am picking my way through it. It’s been fun

Celebrated this momentous occasion today by staying home from work, eating an entire pizza by myself, and playing a new board game.

Oh, and watching more Lower Decks.
