I recently put together my top 50 games, so I figured I would share them with Bluesky.
My process was to dump all the game I've played at least twice since 2020 into a list, remove the ones that were obviously not top 100, then put those 150 or so into pubmeeple, then tweak the list.

The issue is that the weather isn’t conducive to dress wearing, and when I go months without wearing one I end up with the urge to buy them instead.
Someone tell me not to retail therapy clothes that I don't need. Thanks.

Made it through game night (Bruges, Hot Streak, and Furnace), and home, and please god just let me sleep.
I am trying game night on 3 hours sleep and this is probably a mistake but also better than sitting at home brooding about how transitioning has completely fucked up everything I worked for for 25 years other than I got to be happy for a little while.

Clearly a work group out for dinner at the pub I’m grabbing dinner with and I find I really miss those type of things.

What about the nonconsenting unions between priests and children? Those still ok Pope Leo?
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

Ending the right to jury trial sure is something, especially as they've made it illegal to protest the government. There is a word for this ... fa, fas ... fa something, but it's not coming to me.

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

After the first day of SDHistCon, where I played three games about opium peddling, I figured the second would be easier on my stomach. I could not have been more wrong. It has no name. Its designer…

New lipstick that I got as a birthday gift from Sephora. It’s pretty close to my standard colour but glossy instead of matte. I think I like it.
