Quotes (from this video)
- So, every one of these games surprised me, some for the better, some for the worst.
- I I I think this kind of game feels like a very mass market kind of game.
- I love the concept, it doesn't work in practice, at least for me.
- I hate the box. This falls open all the time.
- If the goal is to enjoy yourself, feel challenged, feel under the pressure of time while trying to uh well, have a good time, which is the main point of games, I think this delivers in a big way.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think this game is objectively bad, but I also objectively have fun playing it.
- The biggest flaw of Excalibur is I don't think the first four-fifths of the game matter. I think the only thing that matters is the last two to three turns in the game.
- The problem with playing so many games is you always want to keep the good ones, but then you play the better ones and you want to keep the better ones and you realize you should probably shouldn't keep the good ones. But then you play the best ones and you realize you probably shouldn't keep the better ones or the good ones. You should only keep and play the best ones.
- It's the Lego of skirmish space battles.

Quotes (from this video)
- Building up habits takes a lot of time and a lot of trial and error, a lot of failure along the way.
- The tricky part is I almost want to go cold turkey cuz I think it might be better. But for right now, I'll allow myself to click on links that people send me.
- The algorithm knowing how it can set me off because it shows me all the rage stuff.
- I find social media adds a lot of benefit to my life in small ways.
- I'd rather build into my life 10 minutes. I'm going to turn around cuz I'm reaching a main road, and I don't need you to have that audio.
- For right now, the goal I'm going to give myself is I want to stay off of Facebook.
- The video is more about enabling the other habits I want to build through documentation, through talking to you, and it's less about the video being the habit itself, if that makes sense.
- I want to do the videos that I want to do and not the videos that are good for the algorithm.
- When I find a game I love I want to talk about it.
- The problem with doing the top gratitude thing on the fly. Again, I do try to think of things that are unique to me each day.
- I'm grateful that board games still give me joy.
- The main goal with any habit is to keep it up for as much as possible, but ideally at least 30 days. 30 days is the kind of thing that builds habits.
