It is so sad to see that in 2022 that people still think being a part of the LGBTQ+ community is “political” I did not choose to be the way that I am. My life is not politics. Unfortunately, I will be uninstalling @TabletopSim for banning LGBTQ+ members from their servers.

It is interesting for me to see folks complaining about the rise in "cuter" themes of board games (i.e. mushrooms, food, cats) rather than classic euro style themes as if euro games have ceased to exist? If there's any "oversaturation" of a type of game...it's beige Euros lol.
