@gutterdruid The cookie growing season is a little earlier in certain parts of the Commonwealth. Next year, consider planting a few in your garden for cookies year round!

Someone asked ChapGPt to come up with 10 Commandments for the modern world. I could be guided by these principles. Perhaps a new religion is in order?

@matt I'm glad to see others who enjoyed it. It's absolutely misbilled as a "kid's show." Sure, it's a show with kids as the main cast, but it's Trek at its best! Can't wait for more.

Just finished the first season of Star Trek Prodigy, and I’ve gotta say, I love the journey they took through the 20 episodes. Embodied so much of what’s great and true about Star Trek.

Was digging through old #boardgame design projects and stumbled upon an absolute class: "Escape From Horrible Mountain 2: The Second Escape." Here it is, free of charge. I'm so sorry.

If you and a friend (or, better, an enemy) have half a deck of cards, some bits, and 20 minutes with literally nothing better to do, stare at the wall. Or play this. Whatevs.

I'm so, so sorry.

@BeardedRogue Ugh. I hope you're able to find a much, much better therapist.

Played Cascadia for the first time yesterday. I enjoyed almost every aspect of the game individually, i.e. "this part's great!" and "so's this part!"

A fine tile-layer, though I found myself a bit troubled by the disconnect between its tactical gameplay and strategic scoring. This is probably me looking for depth in a gateway game. Bad Nick, bad.

I know I *should* be troubled more by the pasted-on theme and multi-player solitaire, but I don't mind either. Definitely will play again.
