It's like a cockpit setup for the latest edition of Farming Simulator!

Bison:  I confess a certain degree of envy that you can enjoy your new mower that much.  Sounds like a nice machine.  :bigthumb: 



Going all nostalgic with my newly-purchased copy of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.  Probably more Stellaris too. 



Rome 2 with the DEI Mod for me.

Nice!  As one of the Roman families, or a different faction?

Unfortunately it’s not a driving mower. It’s a dream to own a mower with a cup holder and seat. It’s just a basic self propelled mower but it’s replacing a 12 year old craftsman mower. So definite upgrade.

I saw an Outer Rim display the other day. My only thought was meh Fantasy Flight Star Wars Games made yet another Star Wars game.

My mower is an old Craftsman with a seat and cup-holder because I'm old and have to sit down a lot. And mow a lot. Rome 2 as Rome, the Juli Family. Loving the DEI Mod, lots of new units and a slower, more strategically challenging pace. Happy Last Weekend of June Dragoons.

The boys and I did test sit and drive a couple of John Deere mowers. Man, did I want to try and justify the expense. Although I really wanted the little bucket loader...to...do...stuff...like dig holes and have my iced tea in a cup holder.

Love the cup-holders in my mower but it's hell to get a refill in the back yard. At least it is at my place.  ::)

Looks like Civ6 and Gloomhaven this weekend. I think we must be over halfway through the Gloomhaven campaign by now.

Played two games of Flash Point yesterday, one basic game and one at Heroic level; won both but we had good characters selected in the Heroic-level game. I love the different fireman characters and how you can piece together a really effective team.

Going to play some Black Orchestra here momentarily and try to kill Hitler.

My daughter's boyfriend has been playing the hell out of my copy of Deep Space D-6. Poor kid had NO idea there were board games other than Monopoly out there until he started dating my daughter and she told him about the smorgasboard of cardboard harlotism that awaits us all out there. I believe he is converted. Muwahahahahahahaha  >:D

Good luck with "Black Orchestra".

Mustachioed little bastard keeps evading us...

Great game, though.

Going to my friend's house for some ASL on Sunday.  We're going to play an interesting eastern front scenario.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.
