Watched #BeastGames as class-prep (and so my students think I'm cool). $20 million spend on prizes; $20 spend on game design. So many weird design choices.

Mike's new game sounds really cool! Help Demeter find Persephone in this single player TTRPG.

No Pun Included is not only one of the best board game review channels - they also produce highlights like this video where they look at the "fact" that the funnest part of board games is opening the box. By reading academic papers! And the original author responds in the comments. Great work!

Wow! Finally got around to watching #Sense8! Such a great queer and emotional show by the #Wachowskis and #Straczynski. Unfathomable that #Netflix cancelled it. At least we got a movie to conclude it.

Finished season 2 of #StarTrek #Prodigy. Mindnumbing that #Paramount cancelled it! Such a great show and VERY Star Trek! Highly recommend watching!!! Hope #Netflix picks it up for a third season!

Finally got #Balatro. Very fun and well-designed Solitaire Poker Roguelike. Similar game, but instead of cards you have dice to roll: #DiceyDungeons. Has some cool character and enemy designs!
