2P; 90 min; 45:44 🙂
4 Monate seit der letzten Partie ergaben erst mal eine Erklärbärpause, bevor wir ins Spiel richtig einstiegen. Und das war wie immer ziemlich spannungsgeladen. Im 2P muss man durch den Automa ein wenig vorausdenken, was nicht unbedingt meine Stärke ist in Spielen. Nach einem sensationell schlechtem Start, konnte ich dann aber doch noch einen extrem knappen Sieg erringen. Schön war's und das trifft auch auf die Präsentation zu. 😍

Damn it. Greater Than Games (Spirit Island, Compile…) closing! Because of the fucking tariffs. That's the result on the US board game industry (and so many others). So mad about this #boardgames

Last year, I was feeling down. Despite being a little rebel who doesn't let "impossible" get in the way of what I want, I still grew up with a lot of limiting comments from the people around me that deeply affected me.

But I worked hard on my health to take the gamble and open an online shop for my artwork. And I'm so happy to say I'm just one sale away from covering the costs of printing the products in my shop! Thank you for supporting my journey. ❤️

if i die, delete my hard drive. not because there’s anything incriminating on it, but because it’s just 700 folders named “misc important” and I don't want the world to know how bad it got
Senator Van Hollen is going to El Salvador to try to aid Abrego Garcia. I reiterate my suggestion that people send a few bucks to Van Hollen’s campaign to make it clear that this the sort of bravery and action we expect and and reward.

RFK Jr. is an unprecedented threat to US health.

He just completely eliminated the CDC lead poisoning group and all teams that respond to help address local radiological and nuclear threats and all capacity for natural disasters response.

Mind numbing insanity.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs

The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

The kid walks into my office this afternoon and says, “do you think I could get one of these to play with?”

I look and it’s an ESP32 dev kit of some kind on Amazon.

I open one of my drawers that has a dozen ESP32 dev kits in it and he lights up, “sure here you go!”

He comes back a few seconds later and says, “trouble is, all the projects I’m looking at need breadboards.”

I open a different drawer.

Before I sit down to play D&D I take a couple dozen minutes to prepare. Here are four-and-a-half things I do before every session.
