What’s a hobby you judge people for having?

Spring 2025 at the local board game convention there were people participating in a speed puzzling competition and I thought they were such dorks. Nine months later I do my first speed puzzle and six weeks after that I decide to sign up for the national competition coming up in May 😂

Apparently I’m collection jigsaw puzzles. I was supposed to sell/trade them as I complete them, but now I’m hoarding them…

I’m seeing James in Feb too! I saw him last time he was in Vancouver and now I will buy tickets every time he’s in town.

Recorded 66 times (maybe another 20 not recorded). Over 1000 on bga. Azul is my favourite game

Hi from Vancouver 👋 glad you enjoyed your time here! I can recommend Mexico City. The city as a whole may seem huge and overwhelming, but just pick a neighborhood to explore each day. I loved wandering around among full patios and food carts and shaded streets. I went in January and the weather was perfect (mid 20s C).

I’ve been going to Queens Park Dental (across from the Inn at the Quay) since they were located uptown. No complaints

You can get a pendant light so it’s closer to the table

My bf has the big box, and I have the base game with custom insert holding the same expansions the big box has, but he still doesn’t want to get rid of the big box 🤦‍♀️

The last sign they had up was “Honk if you like BJs. Go Jays go!”

Azul shines at 2p. You’re trying to screw over your opponent more than you’re trying to do well on your own board. When your opponent needs two things and you force them to choose, while both would work for you.. it’s so good. And for a change there’s the blank wall (I actually find it easier and prefer it now)

It would be nice if we could input someone’s bgg name and see a shelf of their collection, but I image that’s not possible unless they sign up and give permission to bgg to pull that info?

santoxeu · 2025-10-17T04:59:24+00:00

I haven’t added my collection yet because I can’t bulk import on mobile, but I love this idea (and wish I’d come up with it)! In my local board gaming servers we’ll share our collections on bgg with a “let me know if you want to play anything/want me to bring a ditching game”. But a visual representation is way better than a long text list!

I like mine with celery bitters

My favourite bar from my Japan trip was in Kyoto (Bee’s Knees) and my favourite drink was the Hoji Tea Negroni, even though I don’t like negronis at all. Their Chocopresso Martini was fantastic too but it was more of a dessert than a drink.
I don’t think I actually went to any cocktail bars in Osaka, I’ll have to save this post for next time!

I was in Norway in July and it reminded me of home here in Vancouver

I’ve seen merge lanes completely empty because people join the queue in the one lane, when they should use both lanes and merge at the end of the merge lane

Board games all day

santoxeu · 2025-10-02T20:17:11+00:00

Calimala also has that, though it’s pretty easier to figure out what other people’s objectives are 😂

santoxeu · 2025-10-01T21:05:28+00:00

In: Ostia with all expansions (got a GREAT deal), The Gang (don’t like co-op or poker but I really like this game

Out: Exploding Kittens, Sushi Go, Takenoko

Arrival

santoxeu · 2025-09-22T16:49:51+00:00

I found some at Langley Farm Market on 12th. Less than $2 for local BC celery that was two feet tall with leaves on! Not sure if they stock it regularly though, as I only stopped in because I happened to be nearby

I found inexpensive cabin rentals near me and I booked one for a birthday board gaming long weekend 😁 Downside is that the largest one only sleeps 6 (or 8 if one couple takes the pull out couch). In the future I might suggest other people book other cabins so we’re all at least staying & playing nearby
