I'll be honest, I've completely fallen off playing. I absolutely hate the tier system for weapons and armor. The grind is so much worse than it's ever been. Is the game fun still? ABSOLUTELY. But making all my old stuff bad and needing to continually grind for slightly better new things isn't it.
This is fascism clear and simple.

I've cancelled my Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions. Do the right thing ABC and stand up to this. There's still time.
Multiple falsehoods in Trump's remarks this morning about the ABC decision: "Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else... He was fired for lack of talent."
For now they're being taken off the air. Next they'll be taken away in black bags. This needs to stop.
From a CNBC article. This is shameful of ABC.
All he said was the guy was aligned with maga, which as far as we know at this point was true. This is disgusting.
Then we waited through at least two cycles for the 21 for it to never show, and now we're Ubering home. Ridiculous.
We got on a 94 today around 3pm to get to Fells from Hampden. Was 10 minutes late and didn't show up on the app until we were on it, and magically 2 other go passengers were already there.
Finished The Paper. Get rid of the Ricky Gervais type guy and stop having Esmeralda try and ruin everything. I'd watch more but needs some tweaks. #thepaper
Watched the first three episodes of The Paper, the sequel series to The Office. So far I like a lot of what it's doing and will definitely finish the season. But I can't stand Esmeralda. The character is actively sabotaging things in more of an evil villain way, and not jealous coworker. #thepaper
Never had Afghan food until I moved to Baltimore. I love that there's two places within walking distance of my house.
Yup! Those are mine. Most of the 5th edition stuff I also have digitally.
Had my first play of Tianxia, the most recent game in the T series from Daniele Tascini. I enjoyed this efficiency puzzle with lots of combos and going up tracks. Deciding whether to keep my early Gen Con copy or sell before retail release.

Got to play Perch this weekend. This is a cute, quick, and cutthroat bird game about having the biggest or second biggest flock on the tile to score points. Some locations also give you special powers or control of creatures that can scare away other birds.

I was kicked off Facebook at least twice for saying some form of this, haha.
Final play of the week was 12 Rivers. This was a beautiful game on the table, very simple to learn and pleasantly tactile. I can see giving this one maybe 5-10 plays and then it's going to need something else added.

Other games played today, but not pictured: Flip 7 and Dro Polter.

Not pictured, Up or Down?

You play cards to make three elevators that are either going up or down.

This was hard to initially get the hang of because you want to use cards in your hand but you can only play cards you pick up.

Up or Down?
Build rows of ascending or descending numbers.

Fliptoons! This was a delightfully quick and small box "deck" builder. It's a race to score 30 points with the top six cards of your deck. The cards interact with each other in fun ways and it's simultaneous play. The art is great too.

Cat and the Tower is a dexterity game where you're helping Toto the cat get to their mom.

We didn't beat the initial goal of floor 10. The game starts you off with these really lopsided pieces at the bottom. It's like rhino hero for adults as each style of wall is different sizes.

Some plays from this week:

This is Gibberers, an odd game where you craft a new language and guess new words each round.

It's such an interesting and funny game, especially to listen to. One player said it was the best thing they've played in 6 months.

They were giving away Juicy Fruits with any purchase, haha.
Gundam was really good. DBSuper was pretty good.
My Gen Con haul 2025. I originally did not think I was going to get that much...
