did somebody say "tiny board games"?
((Edit: Oh look there's a log!))

5/6/2017 near Total Recall Games & Hobbies, Recolléhello retrospectres!
I just learned something fantastic:
Total Recall is still doing their monthly *Free Board Game Day!*
for those not in the know, this is an event where they set out a bunch of board games in the play area and you can try them out!
my friends and I go pretty much every month, it is a lot of fun.
to be honest I'm not sure how it's going to work this time, with us all being miniatures ourselves, but I figure at worst it will make certain things inconvenient
and at best it could add a whole new dimension to the gameplay!
so if that piques your fancy they are located at [insert address here] and it goes from 12-9 today. see you there maybe!
(ps. they have soda for 50 cents and there's a pizza place next door, so you don't have to worry about dinner)

and yes!
although that can also be an apt description of Ticket to Ride depending on who you're playing with, sooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no subject
My family mostly just played monopoly.
Until someone got mad and we stopped.
I suppose 'until someone gets mad' describes most board games. haha
no subject
just look at Risk though
that one will ruin your friendships before you're even done setting up!
no subject
Haha.
Hm.
Maybe I'll come to this game night, that could be fun.
Or an excuse to vent.
no subject
a little gaming should be a good outlet for our frustrations.
(which are many.)
no subject
Yeah getting their should be exciting.
Getting to school was a trip.
You know what the strangest part of all of this is, though?
Being small?
no subject
no subject
Which, okay, crazy, but kind of the way things go except...
My mother has a car.
She can't drive it.
But she still put the keys in her purse when she went to work.
no subject
my backpack is like 30 times my size
did I draw the short straw or something?
no subject
And some stuff is...
I don't know. Normal size?
Like, my phone and my bag were on my bed and when I woke up they were my-size.
But my laptop is huge.
no subject
all I have is my phone
I've been getting in trouble all week for not having my homework despite trying to explain that I *literally cannot* physically transport it to school.
even my makeup is way too big to use :(
no subject
Which fits the way everything makes no sense I guess.
Or, instead of being too big.
It'll just last so much longer!
...
:D ?
no subject
we know enough to realize something is going on, but not exactly what or why
to see the whole truth, we must deepen our insight!
... or something like that. haha it sounds like a video game when I put it that way.
"gain 20 insight to inherit stuff from your past self!" :)
no subject
Maybe next time we'll wake up with menus and status screens and have to equip our pens to do our homework.
no subject
the more esoteric and needlessly complex the better
no subject
no subject
but when I do play video games they are usually survival horror
soooo much shuffling!
and also a guy I know says he got a literal inventory system but I don't know much about that
no subject
You mean like
From retrospec?
no subject
or wherever these things come from
I'd have to ask him about it, but I get the feeling he doesn't like to talk about his powers much, so idk
does an inventory count as a superpower?
