It was just me and Celestine again this week, so caring for her took up a lot of my attention, but I was able to find some boost able delights on the fediverse and share some little highlights from my life.
It was just me and Celestine again this week, so caring for her took up a lot of my attention, but I was able to boost some podcast episodes on the fediverse and share some little highlights from my life.
Today we visited the Beaty Centre for Marine Biodiversity at Dalhousie University for the first time. It’s a modest space but Celestine loved seeing the aquariums, whale skeleton, and other displays. Seeing hermit crabs swapping shells was a highlight. It was fun walking around campus and showing her where I lived during my first year studying there.
I was given Sushi Go! years ago but today I finally sat down to play with Celestine. The cute cards and simple mechanics are big plusses. She bounced off the scoring and strategy, but I think it will eventually be a game we return to often.
The latest episode of Literate Machine, “Superman and the Case for Open Borders“, is a coherent takedown on anti-immigrant politics framed by the most recent Superman film.
I picked up One-Shot Dungeon this week and got around to playing it today. It’s a dungeon crawling RPG built with 1d6 for all rolls and uses tables heavily to build and populate a dungeon. The simple mechanics make for a tough but fun game. Coldbrew Thunderhammer barely made it out alive after defeating a Chaos Warrior, but he’ll live to delve again.
