Hi there! If you’ve found yourself here without knowing who I am, my name’s Christopher. Nice to meet you!
I’m a software developer (mostly #ruby and #rails for the past 10 years or so). I enjoy games of all sorts—especially #videoGames and #boardGames. I love solving/designing #puzzles. And more!

That's 100% on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Really fun game and exactly what I was hoping for. This was a fun story to get a chance to experience and play through.
…and now we wait for the next Zelda/Zelda-adjacent thing again. 😄

Last night, I played Ark Nova for the first time. My zoo had a Tasmanian devil and a dingo and then a lot of reptiles. Loads of reptiles.
And a sloth bear right up front. #boardGames

At some point yesterday, I wrote a note in my little notepad that says "Think through what to do". That's all it says; there are no further notes.
So… either I've cracked the code behind everything and then Fermat's Last Theorem'd myself, or I need to get better at taking notes.

I genuinely—without trying to make a joke or reference—said out loud earlier today: "There are seven cans in there? How seven‽"

I recently played Lexgrid by Powerdive Games on #playdate, and it was fantastic. Great puzzle design. If you have a Playdate and are a fan of rule-discovery puzzles, I recommend it. (…and it's on sale for the next few days.) play.date/games/lexgrid/
Lexgrid for Playdate
Lexgrid is a rule discovery word game. Discover the meaning behind each symbol, then use them to search for the correct solution.
