It's Presidents Day in the US. Boooooooooooooo! Boooooooooooooooooooooo!

I decided today would be a cozy solo board game day. Playing solo only games to try and detox from these last few weeks of awfulness. Thread of what I played today...

Pick up for KitschCon, was willing to get it for under $7.

Good grief the presentation of this Super Bowl is terrible.

I will be grumpier than normal this week due to Valentine's Day. While I will try not to rain on others parades, don't try to make me join yours. It's not my thing and never will be.

Last of the Gen Con purchases finally hit the table, Neodreams by Hobby World. It's an odd one, plus it has AI generated art. You can check their website saying "generated and curated art" for yourself. Game is alright, the worker retrieval part is neat. Felt like I played well, scored second.

Imagine at the Super Bowl if the US National Anthem got booed or a "47 sucks" chat for through so the broadcast mics picked it up. Make the fragile ego that's gonna be at the game angry.

Two things to add on: First, people learn in different ways, so not only is a good rulebook important, so is a good video. Second, my female German teacher told us that essays should be like skirts; long enough to cover the subject, short enough to keep it interesting. Same applies to rules.

Took screenshots of my retirement accounts just so I can be even angrier when they tank thanks to this awful regime.

Wanted to try making something different, Spam Musubi. Really easy.

January Board Game plays. Not too bad of a selection.

Ya know, maybe instead of resigning in protest when you are in charge of crucial government stuff, maybe you stay and protect it instead. All these resignations are cowardly. Stand up and protect what you've worked on for years. We need all the resistance we can muster.

The only thing this US regime understands is cruelty. Cruelty to migrants, cruelty to trans folk, cruelty to those focused on health research. They haven't even tried to help people. Not a single person. And the Dems aren't doing anything to slow it down. So much for preserving democracy.

Work: You have to be in the office at least 3 days a week starting in March. Workers: So do we get desks? Work: By Q4 we hope to. Workers: Wat. Bonus: Attached FAQ that supposedly has hypertext links was just underlined and in blue text.

There are two objectively correct games to up vote, and they are both No One Lives Forever games. They are miserable to try and run on modern PC hardware and I have physical copies of both.

It's Lunar New Year! I've struggled with saying Happy with New Year and unfortunately, that's been accurate.

Saw that there's now Sriracha Doritos at the store. Left them there. I normally buy odd snacks, but even I have standards.

Bleh to this Super Bowl matchup. Bleh.
