Getting new New Mill (with another game @dnlnwmn.bsky.social got from TGM) is a great way to start the week!
Was really excited about this set—can’t wait to get them played.
Will always shout out what Daniel is doing and the extra care/customer service in addition to the awesome games NM is making

Much like when @ruelgaviola.com says that any day at the ballpark is a good day, any time talking to Ruel is a good time.
A delightful conversation, even if you’re not necessarily a baseball fan!
And for Ruel’s sake, I’ll be cheering for the Dodgers this series.

Not a critic and haven’t touched these games in any capacity (so check out @danthurot.bsky.social’s words on this matter), but it should be pretty obvious how much I’m into @dnlnwmn.bsky.social’s aesthetic and independent production with New Mill. The set of reviews and everything you can visually

Have continually been taking running more seriously. While I know I’m not going to be turbo competitive anytime soon (or ever), it’s been the outlet I need. My goal was sneaking anywhere under 25–went out way too hard and was able to hold on. Just missed out medaling for age group 😂
