Been playing some #Gloomhaven - digital version as I don't have time space or budget for the real thing!

The legacy system of retiring heroes and the city developing is an astonishing idea.

Brutally hard, though. Need a strategy for dealing with shielded, multi-attack enemies.

@culturaltutor Don't forget "Merlon" and "Embrasure" . Great words :)

Has anyone considered the fallout of having Elizabeth II Arrr's funeral on international talk like a pirate day?

While Stan is right that the #ReturnToMonkeyIsland pre-order horse armor serves no practical purpose in the game, Guybrush can still show it around with pride. You don't want to be the only person on your block without horse armor. https://t.co/kY0OPr4s2C

@PRIM_adventure @WarmKittenGames So glad my article was useful for something!
I've been doing charts for some old Fighting Fantasy books recently, which was an interesting exercise

@PRIM_adventure @WarmKittenGames Yeah, yEd's brilliant for PDCs.
I mapped out The Dig a few years back. Sadly lost my map of Monkey Island in a hard drive failure!

@Roger_Organ The first proper album I ever bought was The Bangles' "Different Light". Still adore every song on it.

Is Wordle fully curated these days, or is it just coincidence that there's been a week of "words to make NYT readers feel smug"?

Hey, look what I just found buried in a folder on my desktop. I should have posted this month ago! #ReturnToMonkeyIsland

@grumpygamer My mum painted this for me (when I was a kid you might think, but no I was in my mid-30s).

It has holes cut out for the stars and windows / ship lanterns / lookout fire, and is backlit by fairy lights… 👌#MonkeyIsland

This is terrible. But part of me remembers the joy as I ran Monkey Island 2 for the first time, with zero knowledge except for the box blurb, and being blown away by the astonishing artistry and attention to detail. Looking forward to all the new surprises RtMI will bring!

Just scoured my whole spice shelf twice looking for the turmeric. Gave up and went to pick up a large pot only to discover the turmeric was in my left hand. #tired
