We taught our 10 yo #Catan last night. According to my app, I havent played it in 13 years and I remember why now lol. While I enjoyed seeing that my daughter was having fun, the dice rolls were ridiculously stupid. We used the beginner setup for her and we could never get real brick or wheat production. And we rolled 7 every other time. I eventually won which was nice, and watching my daughter trade was fun but rest was ugh.

Kia ora 👋
I’m Jamie, based in Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿
I’m an ambivert. I enjoy getting to know people and good conversation, but I’m happiest easing into spaces rather than being the center of attention straight away. I’ll jump into discussions when I know the topic and feel confident holding my own, especially where individual perspectives actually matter.
I love being outdoors: camping, fishing, and long walks to reset my brain.
Indoors, I’m usually bouncing between games ( #DnD, #Catan, #LeagueofLegends, #Minecraft, and a soft spot for sandbox / RPG / crafting worlds), food adventures, and whatever media has my attention that week.
I like building things, setting systems up, and tweaking ideas that smarter people came up with first, but I’m equally happy just enjoying good design, good food, and good stories. Music-wise I’m all over the place (except country), with a long-standing love for Twenty One Pilots and currently vibing Ren.
Online, I try to avoid performative controversy. I post to start conversations, not win arguments. I like thoughtful interaction and hearing how different people see things. Expect curiosity, questions, and the occasional “what do you reckon?” post.
Coffee in the morning (and a refill before 2pm), night owl by nature 🌙☕
