A sensitive period for texting. Neat perspective on technology use for children and something I cannot wait to try out when Rory is old enough.
What I’m playing
A few boardgames this week with Dad and his gaming crew:
Race for the Galaxy and Jump Drive are as good as they’ve always been. Need to play more Jump Drive!
5 player game of Root. Also still quite good, first time playing with the Riverfolk. Very good theme+mechanics tie-in, they are offering cards for sale and setting prices every turn.
Dipping into the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 single player campaign and it’s… actually pretty good! Engaging spy thriller story with a good variety of missions so far.
What I’m watching
The Half Life 2 anniversary announcement this week reminded me that I never got around to watching the Half Life documentary. So good, these games were formative for me as a child and represented truly impressive leaps forward in video games. Half Life 2 documentary on deck for this week.
