I had one of the best days of my life today. I realized, as I posted about a game I'll probably not remember a few years from now, that people may look back on my post history and say, "That's what he was excited about?" No, that's not what I was excited about today. #ILYD

I've been playing Final Girl and it's just so good. Even when I lose I have fun. Even when I lose and realize I've misread one of the rules it's fun because then at least I understand why Dr. Fright was so punishing. I'm ready to come back for vengeance!

I can't imagine being a teenager in 1970 and Black Sabbath coming out. My mind cannot.
It's the best rock album of that year and possibly ever.

@vikunja.io I'm running a fairly old version and just updated today. Logs tell me the image has been deprecated and to go to this page which is now a 404: vikunja.io/blog/2024/02...
I can probably figure it out and I might be the only person with this issue but just in case you wanted to fix the 404

Lots of Button Shy (@buttonshy.bsky.social) in January. I don't expect a lot of difference in February although The Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game is arriving today so that should make the cut :)
