Table top games are my obsession. With my family, with my friends, and all by my lonesome. Doesn't matter. Give me games. Fuck AI and fuck you if you defend it.

Packers fans in Wisconsin: Are you with me? I need y’all to get out and vote for President Donald J. Trump today. It’s time to save America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@GailSimone I may have let it slip to my wife this morning that Gail Simone and I were talkin' about Stephen King! She was so excited to share. 😛

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@GailSimone The stuff he wrote in the late 90s and aughts though just *resonated* with me for myriad reasons though. I connected with so many of those stories on a personal level.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@GailSimone Even though I've been a fan since I was way too young to be reading him (7) when I burned through Cycle of the Werewolf and Eyes of the dragon-- I just think he's gotten better and better with age barring some lightning in the bottle moments like The Stand.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@GailSimone @StephenKing Top 3:

I've actually got my Top 6 at the ready from an old categorized fave books post.

I also *just* read The Institute, which-- wow. It blew me away and has become a new favorite.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@GailSimone @StephenKing I couldn't agree with everything you said more. I grew up with King being considered a hack/schlock writer as a kid. I am pleased to see he's getting the respect he deserves now. I think he's a genius. I put him with Pratchett and Murakami as my favorite modern writers.

@NFLonFOX @Lions What is this pathetic AI bullshit? Cheap bozos.

@eric_lang Jesus....what the fuck is wrong with people? I really think BGG should moderate their ratings if shit like this happens.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Has the U.S. economy, historically, been better under Republican presidents or Democratic presidents?

A Republican financial analyst decided to find out.

His name? Bart Starr, Jr. (Yes, the son of THAT Bart Starr.)

The answer may surprise you.🧵

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@ithayla The further I get away from my days reading discworld 1-36 (about 15 years now), the more I find myself referencing it as some of the finest modern literature and Pratchett as one of the finest writers of our day. He, Murakami, and King are all geniuses imo.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@MarkHamill The Vader Economy tho! So many jobs created by the Death Star! Vader believes in law and order. He's gonna build another Death Star and make Kashyyyk pay for it! I heard Luke shoots womp rats for fun! Anyways, I need to attach the head of this dead rancor to the roof of my ship.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@ithayla This phenomenon is as dependable as death and taxes. I laugh about it all the time.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@Tabletop_Deals Car Wars is phenomenal. I've played it for 30 years and the new edition is finally decently modernized.

That said, I understand it being a somewhat niche game. This new edition is why I finally took up miniature painting though! First items I ever painted!

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

Anti-trans bigots get fucked plz.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@SarahSpain @bowl_of_worcel Guster is 31 flavors of amazing. Been a fan since HS and none of us want to discuss how long ago that was...

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@samreich @verymarykate You sure it's not the suit? 😝

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@ithayla Lisboa is my favorite by a pretty wide margin, though I've yet to play one that I didn't love. Just backed Speakeasy without a second thought. Vinhos currently second fave, though I need to play Gallerist more. Kanban and CO2 also in my collection. I haven't played On Mars yet!

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@meampongan I hate Ryan Murphy so much and I can't believe he apparently just has carte blanche to just do whatever tf he wants to in Hollywood. It is just plain weird.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@ithayla Similarly, this has lived in my brain for almost 35ish years. I have not read it since I was a kid so I have no idea how it holds up. But nobody else I know has ever heard of, let alone read it.

[Ray Bonilla @OldManMerton]

@JDVance Shut the fuck up you shockingly unremarkable, ridiculously unserious, massive shitgibbon.

You are the human equivalent of curdled buttermilk.
