Good Morning. First Thing, I'm editing a podcast, later I'm hoping to learn a few games. I'm also drawing a picture for a birthday present.

Airecon news is extremely sad. I've had some amazing times there, and at this point, not really sure what will replace it.

Board game writers who have review sites. Do you ever go back again to your articles and update the content, correct the grammar, change sentences to work better? I've done this on occasion myself if something reads like nails down a blackboard.

Daredevil Born Again has been fantastic to watch. It's like they let the grown ups take charge over the show and the quality is off the chart. The last scenes in the finale were outstanding. The choice of music inspired. The acting impressive. Can't wait for season 3.

I can't be fucked being fucked anymore.
Because if I do things for free then I'm stupid because apparently I need to be hustling. 
If I get paid then I'm a marketing shill. 
If I sell games then it's borderline unethical. 

Do what you want. Let the audience decide. Let them clap or boo. 
I think what I'm most tired about, and also most guilty of is looking for division in the smallest of things when it actually doesn't really matter. 
Not really. 

Everyone is right to be passionate about this subject.
 But I think we're all falling into the religious preaching trap. That our own practices should be practiced by other people. When clearly I can go out there and find five people who agree and disagree with me. All over fucking cardboard of all things. 

And I'm a glorious hypocrite because I am the first to shout the loudest about such nonsense but in the grand scheme of things I dunno if it is just shouting at clouds. 
Be true to yourself I guess. You'll be equally kissed and scathed..
