Yup. Better things to do for sure! Shovel snow, clean the toilet, change poopy diapers yada yada yada!

Sounds like a plan, but I think I will do a weekend and include the Hobbit - just because!

Why is this allowed to happen in 2026? Hasn’t anything one in the U.S. government learned any history lessons. Hasn’t the rest of the world stood fast against this malarkey!

Not just young Canadians. His time has come and gone! He would willingly screw the average Canadian to support his main contributors!

Lantern lifted, I stepped into the Crimson Cavern where a Tawny Steppe Wyvern crouched over a cache of meat and a single gleaming amethyst. It watched me calmly, dust motes swirling around its tawny w...

Only so long as your neighbour is a straight, white, Christian! Seems we have drifted back into the dark ages we strove so diligently to leave.

To the player who saved my butt today when I got lost in the #BuriedCity while playing #ARCRaiders, and only had a sliver of health remaining after fighting off 4 ARCs. She patched me up and took me to the entrance. Thank you thank you thank you. There are still good players around!

To say the least of streamers playing the games to make money off of being as violent and murderous as they can ! Casual gamers just don’t stand a chance in this environment, and so don’t pay the price of admittance!

The analogy is spot on!

I’m really liking the video game #ARCRaiders from #EmbarkStudios. There is not a game I’ve enjoyed more since back in early #CoD days. Very concerned it has not garnered more nominations in the game awards?

Same for new release video and pc games. The joy of getting that boxed game in your hands after standing in line at midnight!

Are we at war? Didn’t get that memo. So maybe just plain old “crimes against humanity “! All of it! Every last one of us!

Yep! Always “Canada did this, and Canada did that, and Canada didn’t do that”. Never the truth of the matter. I’ve made a conscious decision to never enter foot in the U.S. again!

Brown ponytail on grey hair, and slight misstep of 4 feet! It’s 2 people in lockstep! Nice!

As long as they don’t slime me, or start throwing things around, I’m good. But they do make me nervous, but that’s all imagined hogwash! I tell my kids I don’t believe, then I see the lady in a flannel night dress walk through my kitchen. Just my imagination!

And frankly so do the ones who stood by and didn’t rip him a new one for being so callus and ignorant!

Have to move my computer desk - again! Need some peace and quiet and lack of distractions to play ARC Raiders!

Worst performing month - it’s because we, normal folks can’t afford the price! Even with actors enticing us to go to the movies, to see them or other actors entertain us, we just cannot justify $50+ for a movie anymore, when that $50 will barely buy 2 days worth of groceries!

Yup! Only by name, but I’ve watched it several times though!

So say we all! It’s despicable it has come to this in America. Especially when we have to rely on TV characters to explain it to us as though we are children!

Struggling! Over 150 BoardGames, 30+ plastic models, miniatures from the games etc, telescopes, camera, etc.! Still I’m struggling to do things. Is this stressed out, complaining, depressed, or just procrastination?

Ah! Because learning your abc’s and numbers is so detrimental to “democracy “! Or… is it to prevent them from learning at an early age, making it easier to pull the wool over their eyes when they get older!

…dear hobby, I didn’t really think of the politics of the whole thing. It was just the game, and the joy of pitting my ability against my opponents. Enter into the past 20 years or so, playing the new vast array of games, politics still doesn’t come to the forefront. Just the joy of playing.

PapaM @mikebyoung.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
Maybe I just never was smart enough to deal with politics in games, whether it was the red and black checker pieces, or white and black chess pieces, or even the rich vs poor of monopoly during my childhood. Even when I advanced to AH and SPI war games in the mid 70’s, even though history was a…
