Got to meet Bosco and Irene the Alien in St Louis tonight!!! They even signed some tokens and my patron magic playmat. Fuck yeah!
Robin surprised me with a new deckbox that looks like a GameBoy Color playing pokemon and inside is the Missing No like error texture, and I was debating what deck to put in it. So I went with my Kefka, World's Most Gorgeous combo deck. I need to decide what card to slide in to be the screen.
Yesterday I got to play a 7 hour game of Star Trek Frontiers, or Mage Knight: Star Trek, if you're familiar with Mage Knight.
Successfully imported a save from the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube edition of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance into the Wii U virtual Wii version of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. That was an adventure.
Played a game of Wingspan in the park this past weekend. I lost, but the vibes were immaculate.
Another huge feature set finished. Attendee management screens. Just a couple more quick wins and I can totally sunset the legacy admin app.
So over the past 3 years I've built the biggest system I've ever built from scratch. I call it Rules Lawyer. An entire multi-tenant board game and Play and Win library convention management system. (my alt text game is weak. apologies, but if you want all the documentation in the world hit me up)
Anyways I've been having a blast over Birthday Weekend driving around virtual scenic Mexico in a 2021 VW Golf RS. It's pretty great.
Beat the first boss in Dad Space. It's very Dad. Capcom just put a bunch of Dads in the room, and were told to Dad the best Dad they could Dad. But in Space.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility Today is probably my favorite trans holiday because it's about existing and being visible. No more, no less. When I started my transition it was important to me to be visible. Not just within the trans community, but to my cis gendered family and friends as well.
I don't have a problem. I can't stop whenever I want. Also I got to level 10 on all four main zones. 😤
Happy Paddy's Day! Having lunch at my favorite Irish pub. With a Guinness of course.
Pokopia is insanely good. Unbelievably good. I've sunk 80 hours into it already and I see no end in sight. There's so much I want to do, and every day I find something new and amazing to experience. It's delightful.
The oldest previously unfulfilled kickstarter... backed in February of 2020. Chaosmos: Expanded Edition. Basically it's the Temple expansion + a box big enough to fit the base game too. Continuing my trend of every Kickstarter I backed getting to me eventually.
Slugger opening the show. A hardcore band from California apparently.
Played Tea Witches followed by Explorers of the North Sea today. Nice day away from screens.
