BGG's talent exodus of specifically just their best contributors (Candice Harris, Eric Martin) is all I need to see to double down on encouraging people to stop supporting
if you value the tabletop scene your money is better used elsewhere. I look forward to supporting their independent efforts!

growing up broke means that despite enjoying the switch 2 well enough thus far, not actively using it that much means I should at least consider selling it
admittedly part of that is because there are basically 0 upcoming games left I care about and I'm allergic to having dust collectors, but still

A reminder, if I wasn't clear enough before, that it's incredibly sketchy for BGG - a private business with closed books - to be holding out a begging hat at this time of year, every year.
Give money to charities instead.

It's all dreadful and I'm deeply suspicious. The "supporter drive" leaves me fuming, after they've run profitable cruises & conventions & plaster the site with advertising while doing virtually no moderation or functional improvements. It's a graft & an embarassment as the public face of the hobby

found out about the existence of the Polymega yesterday and I did not need to know about yet another hyper-niche enthusiast game box, much less one that looks this slick and has laserdisc-tier covers
why did they go that hard for Body Harvest???

While there isn’t much to really chew on after the story, A Pizza Delivery provides cozy interludes through ideal landscapes. With some slight hiccups along the way, it is a worthy introduction to Eric Osuna’s brand of storytelling.

Does anyone else have a nemesis who doesn't know they exist?
I do.
His name is Bobby Flay.
His new burger concept, Bobby's, just opened in an airport. In order to be a Qualified Hater I decided to partake.

I'll write more about some of these games on the website later this month, but for now I'll just say that I am one of Superball's strongest soldiers and will be donning sackcloth and ash when it inevitably gets shut down next year

saw a (very well made!) video about how Dino Crisis 1 was a brilliant masterpiece and I don't know if I've ever sat through so many incorrect opinions in a row before
the evolutionary step to Resi 4 is Dino Crisis 2. you know, the good one. the one that's not just 6 keycard puzzles in a trenchcoat.

The Xbox 360 is twenty years old and Microsoft will never achieve its heights again, so we may as well rank the 36 best games on it.

Decided to do stream of consciousness for Baby Steps. Felt appropriate. Gonna just post it late and whoever reads it reads it.

looking at all the games from this year that I haven't played and I'm increasingly not really worried about 'em
this was a great year! I played great stuff! I'm happy to go into award season as-is, and if I get the chance to try more of 'em later, cool

this game is very good but god the control scheme puts my poor wrists directly into the blender. still an admirable adaptation of Foddy and co's ideas into 3D space and has a lot to say. writeup soonish

fully fed up with roguelites as of late so I reinstalled Dicey Dungeons and maybe it's the contrast, but wow this game is even better than I remembered
sure you could do a run to gain 0.05% of a stat, or you could play a 20 minute one that ends with giving a girl scout 60 stacks of poison
