Got to love the enshitification of Google search with AI....now the first result for Chocolate Factory claims I didn't even design the game! (David designed the solo mode).
More microscale fun, more Blactron II with the Spectral Starguider (6933)!
These are my very first microscale builds, just from rummaging in pieces (hence some colours are wrong). Eventually I would love to do a planetscape with all the 90s space themes :) Any pointers or comments much appreciated!
My Melbourne Lego #Brickvention haul - some amazing pieces to add to the collection! #90s #vintage #pirates #adventurers
Colour sort is done! Only was about 15 kg of Lego :p #legosetrestorer
A side hobby of mine is buying old bulk lots of Lego and resorting it out into the individual sets - a kind of Lego set restorer if you will. In the latest lot I’ve found parts to the most expensive minifigure I’ve ever found - a Jango Fett from 2002! Just can’t find the head :(
We’re lucky enough to still be able to fly them regularly with Emirates, although you’re right they are phasing them out slowly. Got to board one from the tarmac in the last flight - really gives you a sense of scale.
I've lost count of how many attempts I had, but I have finally done it... I've beaten Gold stake on Black deck in Balatro!!!! And after that, I have a few thoughts about difficulty scaling in the game:
It's a weird feeling of accomplishment, but I've just cleaned out my Discord, leaving the servers I don't visit anymore, and finally all the ones I am still in fit on one window without scrolling! :p
Pretty special day to have one of your games at #1 in the BGG hotness! :)
And even sadder, my post about this on Facebook asking people to report the profile just brings out even more scammers in the comments!
The result in both cases? Facebook thinks it’s perfectly fine. What do you think? Seems like a pretty straightforward fraud to me.
Sometimes I get in a bit of a rut in my day, nothing really working. I don’t feel like going out either. But I try to remind myself it’s always better with a change of scenery…
Just marvelling at @rorymuldoon.bsky.social graphic design skills looking over his promo images for 52 Realms. I couldn't have known it at the time, but I have been so so so so lucky to be able to work with Rory on Postmark - he really is one of the most talented designers working in board games.
A very small look into my new projects...in my very sophisticated organisation system :p Any questions welcome!
