Picked up Rowin at the Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged.

Got around to playing it last night with family, and it was a hit!
It's kind of like chess mixed with tic-tac-toe. It gets pretty thinky toward the end!

I wish there were some clarifications in the rule book, but we figured it out.

Still recovering a little bit from #paxunplugged yesterday.

I thought I was done with shows for the week, but my friend encouraged me to come out and see Bane and Hot Water Music.

Earth last night at Johnny Brenda's.
Hearing HEX in full was a real treat. The trombone and Rhodes added a lot to the sound.

Friday night fun of discovering your CD player needs new belts.

(I hope it's just that.)

Love to see it! This thread is my people.

I just finished reading "In A Lonely Place" by Dorothy B. Hughes.
Fantastic writing and creepy story.

Better than the Chandler I've read even.

A great segue into the October reading season.

First time I've been to a Phillies game in years, and they win 19 to 4! Schwarber is a beast.

Tried Barbecubes with the family.
It reminds me of Operation and Jenga, but better.
Fun and quick and nail-bitey.

Update: Karate was awesome.
Each member is in total control and masters of their instruments. Flawless.
The first time I heard "Small Fires" was a "I didn't know you could do this" kind of moment for me.

I wish they brought merch though!

I'm late to the party, but Station Eleven lives up to the hype. I went out of order and read this after seeing the show, and after reading the Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility.

I saw this last night, and took a screen shot, forget where exactly it came from. but still.

Still a banger of an album.

This would be fun to have on vinyl. But it's such a driving record.

Got to play Nunatak this weekend.
Once you get a handle on how it works it's pretty fun and fast-paced. The 3D element is a fun bonus.

My first read of 2025 is proving to be a doozy.

40 books in 2024, Not too shabby for me. Some are currently in-process, so I couldn't count them.
I'd also be OK with the number being less for 2025 if the reason is I tackled some thicker or denser books this year that taunt me from my shelves.

We finally got to try Deep Sea Adventure. With 6 players it was very tense and most of us died with no points after 3 rounds. I already want to play again.
