@Bruff it is a complete and utter clusterfuck

@writingslowly This is Ark Nova. It is, in a word, brilliant. Thoroughly recommend!
@alexkidman A classic!
@leighlo yeah, micro.blog definitely isn’t that. It’s more old school blogging with social media elements running through it. Definitely worth checking out.
@leighlo I’m a fan of Micro.blog. Being able to control and own my posts and micro posts, as well as follow other blogs and Mastadon users, has been great for me. 😀
@seamus Yessss! I knew people would get the reference, but didn’t expect it to be acknowledged 🤣
@Bruff also, I am a terrible handyman so I acknowledge those blocks aren’t perfectly straight.
@rcrackley thanks! To be honest, the timing and setup is kind of perfect.
@alexkidman yes, the “you really need to clean your oven” red light got a bit of a workout in that first week.
@adders yeah, I’m thinking about that a lot as well. If I can find the right opportunity, I may try that path.
@alexkidman been watching this as you’ve been sharing stuff. Really excited to watch it grow and succeed!
@Bruff Aaaaaaand they ended up losing 1-6. Some terrible calls from the ref, and they aren’t quite match fit, but they still did well. The score line didn’t reflect the way they played.
@Bruff 0-0 at half time. Actually a pretty good match. 😂
@manton This is awesome! I've been holding out, hoping I'd be able to bring across my archive at some point. Thanks for making it so easy!
@alexkidman That’s an impressive milestone mate. Well done!
@alexkidman I set up a personal site on micro.blog right before the first major exodus to Mastadon. I also set up a Mastadon account, but I have found that it doesn’t offer enough to keep me engaged — particularly given the way micro.blog uses activity pub to connect to Mastadon anyway. I do wonder if I’m missing out on some things though…
@denniskluge thank you!
@seamus I definitely intend on staying at the top of the leaderboard, Shay!
@alexkidman You deserve it!
@monday this subject is basically what I’ve dubbed my mid-life crisis, so I feel I should weigh in here!
For single player experience, I enjoy Living Card Games (LCG) I’m fond of Lord of the Rings, but also have a huge collection of Marvel Champions too. Both are gorgeous.
For the family, I would say Ark Nova is perfect. Stunning board, huge depth and not too hard for kids.
The Star Wars geek in me suggests Outer Rim, which even my 13 year old enjoys playing (and we have to fight to get him to play).
I would also suggest avoiding any of the ‘Rising’ games. They look great, but are impossibly hard. I’ve never won, and it really puts you off.
Looking forward to the other suggestions in this conversation!
@seamus both of mine are back tomorrow, so I’m scrambling to make sure everything is ready to go today.
That means a battle with my back to school nemesis - Contact.
@alexkidman I think I reviewed Infinity 2 and 3 for Xbox magazine while I was at Future, so a chunk of my collection is ex-review as well. But somehow I missed Skylanders, and my kids were probably still a bit too young for it at the time.
@alexkidman I never managed to get started on Dimensions -- All my toys to life budget went to Infinity...
@odd I can’t understand why I felt so confident before we started. He destroyed me. 😂
@joelhamill and even better now we have some more insight into Andor’s character too
