When you start a game you haven’t played in a while on BGA and realize you need an IRL refresher 🍇

I’m so excited for the movie!! Did you have any other favorites this year? My reading goals for 2025 was 24 books. But I’m gonna see if I can do 50 in 2026 now that I have better reading habits. Anyways always in need of a good rec :)

Some people chase victory. We chase character development through suffering 🙂‍↕️

You know I went in with low expectations kind of expecting a Memoir 44 reskin. But I had a great time! It was a nice surprise. Definitely felt like its own game and I appreciate how easy they made the combat system. Very intuitive and the game itself is nicely made.

📖 Reading James by Percival Everett.
A line that stopped me:

“But the real source of our rage had to go without address, swallowed, repressed.”

Running to the lab means a St Bread post run treat 😋

Those furikake and cream cheese twists are to die for.
