More boardgames, especially those with fiddly rules, seem to use their own Discord to increase engagement. Which it does... and all the rules questions get answered... Over and over again, because Discord search is atrocious. It's a terrible knowledge store. At least BGG answers are discoverable.

I so rarely get into TV shows; there is investment, I'm pretty time poor, and board gaming is usually priority #1!

So when one of my few precious shows gets axed, it's a emotional gut punch. Today, that's Mythic Quest 😔 Man that show was a delight, one of my favourite ensemble comedies.

@bgstatsapp.bsky.social I keep seeing BGG sync issues where I delete a game on BGG, days later BGstats says it's done a collection sync, but the game still comes up as owned on BGstats. Only when I view the game and click on "collection status" does it sync and remove the game from my owned games.
