A particularly competitive game of Barbecubes last night
A current favourite little game. Barbecubes is an adorable and very simple little dexterity game that is pleasing to look at and play.
There is also a vegetarian version that is exactly the same but with different pieces, I always bring both to game night because I like to be inclusive.

A fun, simple, mascot racing game we played last week. Winning revolves around betting on the races rather than the races themselves. I won through two hugely risky bets in the last race.
I can't for the life of me remember the game's title.

Thank you to those of you masking at PAXU. It is a principled, beautiful act of solidarity with each other 💛
& those of you not masking? Know that I see you and think less of you for it. Refusing to take COVID precautions in 2025? At a convention?? Embarrassing

So a seizure can be viewed as scary, but it seems to indicate the basis of the attacks were complex seizures to begin with which is info I didn't have before, so maybe the Neurologist can find something.
it also did was add another $1000 in medical debt, I can't cover.

Elevated tariffs continue to threaten the board game industry despite a 90-day ‘truce’ between the US and China – with publishers now facing a spike in shipping prices and a battle for container space as businesses race to take advantage of the lower-tariff window:

I am tired of pretending that there’s an inch of respect I have for people who use genAI bots to produce work.
Yes, even ‘just to get an idea’. Yes, even ‘only for first drafts’.
I will never trust your judgment or your work product. And yes, I can tell when you use it.

I don’t care what it says. Gen ai bots are a stupid scam that erode your ability to use your brain, pushed on us by Amway-pilled weirdos who spent billions and are wrecking the planet even faster than before because the whole world owes them a chance to make up their losses.
It’s giant hogweed.

The biggest driver since its inception of writers experimenting with ChatGPT has been this Worldcon kerfuffle driving folks to say "All right fine, what does the fucking thing say about me?"
