No joke - it’s one of the social highlights of my week, and I even have an engaging IRL social circle!

Very glad to see the good turnout here, and that the discourse is as polite and positive as ever (and if it gets invaded once it hits the main page we’re probably mostly done here anyway, with KG right around the corner). This kind of environment for discussing video games is very rare, cheers to all of you for your…

Hanging out with friends tonight for our semi-regular D&D outing—I never played D&D much as a kid, and I find it both exciting and kind of stressful so far.

Congratulations!

Is this... does this mean you’re getting married?

Mad daps to a fellow pinholder!
