genuinely proud of this. Going to go for S+ on all modes. Sektori is genuinely one of the best little arcade games I've played in a hot minute.

highscore on 'Classic' mod on Sektori. S+ with a score of 10,887,240

highscore on 'Surge' mode on sektori. S+ with a score of 8,589,540. position on the leaderboard is 69, nice.

This is one of the funniest scenes in a game I've ever seen. 10/10 play Crosscode

a scene in Crosscode wherein Lea has just received the word, 'sorry' to her limited vocabulary, just after it would have been extremely relevant.

Feels good to be uploading something, even if that something is chunks of my stream. I finally have a comfortable method for processing streams so this will become a bit more common!

I just discovered that the digital files for these cards include profile tokens for every single villager, making this a easy-recommend for anyone running digital AND in-person games

I want to highlight a really cool TTRPG tool I got, a deck of 54 villagers, each with unique character art, a name, some basic stats (applicable to most systems) and like... one trait? enough to work with, but not so much that it injects too much flavor These kinds of tools are invaluable.

or, and hear me out here, it's a matter of convenience and accessibility. When Denuvo is calling home every 5 minutes, it does a lot to make a game less convenient to play... I don't even care if they want to put it on new games, but maybe we ditch it for 4+ year old games?

That is seriously class right there, I don't know how they did it. So much nicer than those little leaflet style screens that fall over. I don't expect this often, but it's nice to see ever.

obviously it wouldn't matter if the game was no good, and I would tolerate bad box organization for a good game, but it seriously makes it feel like a next-level joy, to see care given to the design of the box and components. it even comes with wooden shelves for your "hand", all for $30 CAD

I wish I had taken a picture, but Toy Battle is a fantastic duel-style boardgame that pretty much everyone should try. very replayable, very easy to learn and teach, lots of value packed into the box, AND the packaging, my god. It was SO nice to see a game come with boxes. no organizer required!

my spicy hot board game take of the day is that Everdell is a pretty ok worker placement game which is overpriced, mostly justified by one of the worst gimmicks I've ever seen, a cardboard display for holding components, making the game largely visible from only one angle.

the new katamari is ultimately a success because the developers understood this is a game of weird little freaks

I played a game of Cascadia and a thought occured that this game would be a great way to put together a hex map for any ttrpg if you're hurting for inspiration. I think what I like that the game kind of incentivises you to keep biomes together so you end up with loosely grounded maps

Getting back into the swing of Caverna. Just the introduction game but it still feels like a lot. I still really want to try the expansions, especially forgotten folk.
