If someone is board game shy, I like to pull out Century. It’s a fun game that’s pretty short and has plenty of strategy, but best of all the rules are a single page. Quick explanation of the goal, the resources, and what you can do each turn and we’re off to the races. If they’re ever confused I just hand them the page and they don’t have to hunt for anything, all the info is right there. Perfect board game for beginners or when you just don’t feel like a 3 hour scythe campaign.

it’s a blessing and a curse. Achievement hunting can be really fun, but oftentimes they’re not well implemented and it ends up sucking. Unfortunately, my completionist impulse is way too strong, so I must slog through it either way.

is that ROG miku?

here’s some games I’ve 100% completed, that’s probably the most interesting single folder on my pc!

Monster Hunter.

There’s a community saying: everyone loves Monster Hunter, they just haven’t played it enough yet. It’s an incredibly common experience for new Monhun players to hate it on their first or even second go around, but then eventually fall in love! It happened for me twice in fact. I played Tri on the Wii back when I was a kid, and then World on release in college, but did not get far either time. Then I tried it again a few years later and now I have played at least one monster hunter game from every generation as well as most of the spinoffs and it is my favourite series ever!
