BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

OFPG always keeps it real. I appreciate them so much.

I’ve definitely been guilty of buying way too many games at conventions. Interesting video for sure. youtu.be/agEl3nJZ0gk?...

January physical plays. Dice Throne might be solidified as my second favorite game.

Man, one last gut punch from January 2026 www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...

LIVE NOW: It's my birthday live stream! Let's hang out and play games! #boardgames Watch on YouTube and Twitch! YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ruelgaviola Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ruelgaviola

In September 2025, these board games hit the market: • Welcome to…the Dark Underbelly of the Board Game Hobby • Tyrants of the Underdark Underbelly • Underbelly Cities • Tastes Like Freedom Five: A Sentinel Comics Board Game

“God told me to quit my job.” Okay but did God also mention loving your neighbors, welcoming immigrants, showing compassion, helping the poor…?? Any of that?

Just a reminder: if you blame victims and support bullies and face consequences such as losing employment due to sharing that opinion, you are NOT a victim yourself. To quote the philosopher Ice-T: “Congratulations. You played yourself.”

you know that part in "shawshank redemption" where andy dufresne finally gets a check for the prison library after years of sending a letter a week and the screw asks if he'll stop now and he says no, now I'll send two letters a week? that's where we are now. double down.

“You get to decide which feelings you feed.”

This needs to be spread throughout our hobby.

🧵You only need to change a couple of the proper nouns from Mon Mothma’s speech in Andor S2: “I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss….

Imagine what it would be like to have an opposition party you actually believed in. I know eventually everything gets corrupted and one day we'd feel bad about the new guys, too. But this feeling that *nobody* is on our side is just crushing.

These factories…..they’re….fantastic. Solo Fantastic Factories. Can’t seem to beat The Machine though.

Leaving this here.

Games played today at AdamCon: • The Druids of Edora • No Loose Ends • Cthulhu: Dark Providence • Altay: Dawn of Civilization • Tichu All 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wish I could play more games in person but I love having BGA available when that isn’t an option.

If you or your business are on X/Twitter still, this is what you are supporting.

Shane Steichen is 2-10 vs the Texans and Jags. The Colts have just two postseason appearances with one postseason win in Ballard’s nine seasons as GM. Why will next season be any different?

IMPEACH

Woke up with a game idea in my head. Wrote it out in my Notes app. Tomorrow I’ll make a rough version to test. Hopefully there is something to it. I predict it will either be a decent game or, more likely, something that only seems like it will work while I’m half asleep at the moment.

More of my board game stats since 2022, when I began tracking my plays: Different games played 2022: 114 2023: 233 2024: 329 2025: 281 Number of plays 2022: 541 2023: 1309 2024: 1140 2025: 1254 H-index 2022: 10 2023: 15 2024: 11 2025: 14

My most played in person games of 2025. #bgstats

This is exactly what AI is going to do to its supporters, metaphorically.

On my side of the table, Aquaria set up for a solo play. On the other side, daughter putting her Winnie the Pooh LEGO together.

twitter: new update, every time you post, elon musk is literally going to break into your house and shit directly into your mouth users: that sucks but….i mean i HAVE to stay on there…..

All tuckered out after a bath.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, lived long enough to see himself become the villain.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but was turned into a newt, got better.

Very impressed with how smoothly Sanctuary plays solo. (And not only because I won. But it helps.) Setup and played a full game in ~35 minutes. @capstone-games.com

What games do you own and want to play? Not Shelf of Shame/Opportunity- games you have played, but it’s been a while & would like to give another go. Some of mine: Teotihuacan: City of Gods Coimbra Hansa Teutonica Iki Concordia The Red Cathedral Bus Smartphone Inc. Which should be first?

Going to shake things up today: Do you play games or do you collect them? (takes cover)

Another new game added! If you don’t have the @tricksterstable.bsky.social app, what are even doing?

Starting on Sagrada Artisans tonight. First time doing a legacy game.

It was trick taking night and I played some great ones: No Loose Ends, Trick Taking in Black & White, Prey and Vivo.

Dear Santa, For Christmas, please bring me integration between the @bgstatsapp.bsky.social app and @tricksterstable.bsky.social app so I can import and track my plays.

It's Cardboard Time! Episode 124 is now live (tinyurl.com/yeenycss). On this episode - a review of Magical Athlete ( @cmyk.games ), a huge update on the Shelf of Aspiration, and a chat with Randy Flynn ( @rf-seattle.bsky.social )!

Haven’t us Colts fans suffered enough? Why are we cursed?!

Tis the season!

In person gaming was light for November due to being quite busy. Some good games though!

Took Herc about halfway through his 12 labors tonight until those darn Stymphalian birds outnumbered him.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Went to my FLGS game night tonight. We played Scout, Botswana and king of the hill Dice Throne. Great time!

Probably nothing that super rich guys are on my TV every day saying THE ECONOMY IS NOT ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside And I take deep breath And I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs What's going on?
