Took my first stab at ranking my games on Pub Meeple. Here's my top nine. Seems accurate.

Another year of board gaming in the books.

New Costco combo just dropped.

Remember when you'd watch a season of a TV show and then, the next year, you'd watch next season?

They should add Santa's sleigh to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

How to Drain Your Flagon

First game of Lands of Amazement from @scottalmes.bsky.social and @buttonshy.bsky.social in the books. I can already tell this is probably going to be in my top tier of Button Shy games. I love a good spatial puzzle.

First time completely filling the board in Planet Unknown. Solo game using only green and orange events, but still. Love this game.

The hardest part of any Metroid game is convincing my brain that I don't have the double jump yet.

Quentin Tarantino is the Billy Corgan of cinema.

No lies detected.

Out here dodging Stranger Things spoilers like

A retronym is a new name for an old thing whose old name has become ambiguous because of new things. Examples include conventional oven, acoustic guitar, and analog clock.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Asking an NFT of your dead mother to invent a story from your childhood to tell your kid who doesn't know she's dead is a truly psychotic thing to do.

Every week, the Giants go out and play well for just long enough to trick me into watching the game, and then they go and blow it in a new, creative way.

Congratulations, Dodgers fans. Condolences, Blue Jays fans. What a game, what a series!

Got a great deal on a used copy of Boonlake at @millenniumgames.bsky.social the other day. Made a few tactical errors, but still had a blast against the automa. I wonder how different it feels at other player counts. Hope I can get it back to the table soon.

Really enjoy Distilled. Can't wait to try out this expansion!

Garbage plate

Finally got a copy of Arboria and got it to the table recently for a solo play. Lovely game. Feels very satisfying when a big combo comes together. Can't wait to play it with more people and see how a crowded board pushes those tracks around. And can't wait to play more from Dani Garcia.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

if u see this quote with the energy you bring to blue sky

Hell yeah. Keep ICE the hell out of my city.

Facebook saw a problem/business opportunity – billions of people, who have given the company tons of information about their personal interests, want more real-life friends – and the solution they came up with was: let's make a robot that catfishes people.

Played on the easiest possible difficulty, but won my first game of Adventurous, the new game from Button Shy. I can already tell this one is going to be a top-tier Button Shy game for me.

After losing my first game due to some, let's say, aggressive fishing practices, I won my second attempt at Conserves from @scottalmes.bsky.social. After regretting not backing the Kickstarter, I'm glad I was able to grab a copy at my FLGS.

I don't think there are many things in video games as satisfying as repelling a blue shell with a super horn in Mario Kart.

I just backed Endeavor Deep Sea: Uncharted Waters on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bur...

Added the Abundance expansion to a game of Earth for the first time tonight, set a personal best with 225 points... and lost.

The decision to make every costume appear as a unique character in the Mario Kart World character select screen is absolutely unhinged.

Excited to play #TrismegistusNewEdition when it arrives next year. I think it'll be my first T game.

How is this real life?

DOGE is the guy who went into Comet Pizza with an AR expecting to find a basement full of abducted children, but multiplied by the entire federal government.

Happy 5/4, however you celebrate! youtu.be/tT9Eh8wNMkw?...

I hate when I look up how to play a song on guitar and the tuning is like EEBBBB or something.

I think sometimes about how, in Star Wars, despite having the technology to have robots speak human languages, they instead programmed a lot of robots to speak a language of beeps and boops, presumably invented for this purpose, and then people learned that language in order to use the robots.

Holy shit this Oblivion remaster looks incredible.

Ugh. Didn't see the email and missed the window to preorder the new Final Girl scenario. These tariffs are so stupid.

Finally picked up a copy of Canvas. The solo mode is a quick, fun little puzzle. And of course, you get three weird paintings as a reward.

Come on, @nytimes.com!

Finally picked up a copy of Genotype and won (but not by much!) my first solo game. Fun game. Glad I finally pulled the trigger on this one.

Won a game of Unsurmountable at level 3 on my second try. Now to level 4, which feels like it's going to be way harder. #ButtonShy

Imagine Hot Ones, but board games.

Confirmed: you can pet a cat in Dragon Age: the Veilguard.

I love the play time on a Final Girl box. The 20 minutes is clearly when you have died by the third turn. Which, fair. @vanrydergames.bsky.social

Can an entire country file a class action lawsuit against itself?

A near-perfect game on my first play of A Nice Cuppa! This is a fun onen from ##ButtonShy, and I look forward to checking out the expansions. (To be fair, though, I am still extremely stressed about politics and am drinking not tea but gin.)
