A bag of potato chips with Japanese kid’s character Shin-chan in “sorrowful rice” flavor
Holy shit just a few hours ago I was saying I love potato chips but I wished there was a way they could taste like rice that had experienced great grief and regret

Fun hanging out with @cardboardeast.bsky.social while he was in town! Showed us a couple of fun import games from his collection.

We're back with part 2 of our 2-player special, with guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social! Now you have too many 2P recommendations from all of us. You're welcome. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/314/...
We’ll likely be up a couple weeks after that 😢 But we miss you and talcon!
We (w/ @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social) have been talking about having a weekly game night committed to something we almost never get to do: completing a campaign.
The game we all wanted to see through: Tidal Blades 2. Now let’s see if our schedules and real life will allow us to finish.
Start the new year off with some NOT UGLY Euro games — thanks to @panda8ngel.bsky.social for having us on The BoardGameGeek Podcast!

Sooo good!!! 🌭
We decided it was the year of the 2-player game! So many great ones came out that we couldn't cover them in one episode (and not without the help of special guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social).

A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."
Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
Come watch @chrispyha.bsky.social and @danshoehsu.bsky.social later this afternoon! We'll be playing games to help the BGG Annual Support Drive.
