Any account that posts about Chicago on Instagram: the fall leaves are always so pretty in Chicago! :) come to Chicago!

The comments: yeah it's real pretty if you like getting fucking stabbed and shot and run over and robbed and killed and mugged. Did you hear me I said CRIME in CHICAGO is OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!!! every day in chicago every single person in the whole city is stabbed and shot and run over and robbed and killed and mugged. so how about that? lol. no I've never been to chicago why do you ask

#oc #like your perception of chicago is entirely informed by racist scaremongering news media #not that it doesn't have its problems because of course it does. just like any other major city.#but it's not even in the top 10 most dangerous us cities. these news stories about chicago being a war zone or whatever are propaganda

Top 5 games I played in 2022

I wrote a bit about my gaming in 2022 in the article on games from 2022 I haven’t played. There wasn’t a whole lot of it. I probably couldn’t make a list of proper video games. However I got into digital board gaming about a month ago. I got neck deep and by now I have over 100 games there under my belt. I’ve tried 30 different digital implementations of games (I haven’t got far enough in some of them to really asses my thoughts). A lot of these are super solid games, classics and this list with one exception consists of games I would like to have on my shelf in their physical form. Or their close relative. My new passion for digital board gaming connects to another news. I bought several board games. All of them second hand and I haven’t played any of them yet. But it’s gonna be an interesting base for changes, which my appear in the next edition of my board game wishlist and overall content of posts on this blog.

This year I have quite a list of honorable mentions. These could easily make it top 7 or top 10, but some of them don’t feel like they should be on the list and that the overall number of games is too small for me to have a longer list. Let’s start with Tropico 5. I played quite a bit of it in January and had fairly good time and I would like to return to it, but there’s also a lot I don’t like about it. The central gimmick feels sometimes restrictive, sometimes I started losing after several hours and couldn’t get myself out of the hole in time. I would like it to be slightly more organic and easier to make nice areas around your island. Next on, Soma Union. I def would feature this game if I’ve managed to play more of it. I’ve started playing it some two days ago and I’m not very far. Might be on the list next year. I also want to mention three little web games I played earlier this week. Descent is a cool atmospheric horror puzzle. Karawan is a tight survival snake inspired strategy with cool visuals. Kinsplant is a weird atmospheric multiplayer game about finding and hiding and object. I love the visuals and the atmosphere. I didn’t manage to find the object, but I killed some zombies. I also want to mention some board games, which are great but not quite top tier for me for various reasons. El Grande is a great game and I would live to play it with real people at a real table. I played a turn based digital version. It took weeks and one third in I knew I had already lost. Not the best time, but the game’s good and I would like to play more. Chicago Express is a fast-paced cube rails games. I’ve only played it once but it was really fun and easy to understand. Right now, I’m in a second game with more players and I still like it. Pier 18 is a stylish 18 cards game. It’s very light and fast and the way you score is super fun. It’s just too light to have the same staying power or depth as other games further on the list.

I feel like that’s more than enough for honorable mentions. Now, the list. An aside. It’s always more difficult to find pictures for board games, especially older ones. I used some pictures from Bgg. The pictures for Obsession and Tinner’s Trail are official. Carnegie uses a 3D render provided by the publisher. Assyria uses a picture from the bgg user Colin Jennings and Kingdom Builder a picture from the user Svetlana.

5. Kingdom Builder

Before playing it I heard about Kingdom Builder that it is too abstracted and that it’s too random without sufficient depth. It might be true if you play it casually. But this very simple set of rules presents a great competitive game. Learning to use randomness and mitigate it is a big part of enjoyment. Various scoring cards and special tiles change the way the game plays and the way it scores. Merchants turn it into a game of connections (almost a cube rails game), Lords make it an area majority game. The game shines at three players. The board doesn’t feel crowded, but blocking and grabbing these special tiles is more important than with two. Also it’s less likely that you get stuck with bad cards, because it’s more likely that someone blocks off the rest of the territory or something. I like this one as a digital game but I wouldn’t mind trying a physical version with expansions or its sequel, Winter Kingdom.

4. Carnegie

Carnegie is the new hotness, the highest ranking game on BGG from 2022. There is a good reason for that. The game offers a great mix of mechanisms, fun engine building and worker manipulation and action selection and it is layered and brainy and satisfying. There’s a lot of depth to it and I know I still have a long way to make every move of mine good and satisfying, to utilize all of the rooms in your headquarters well. But learning the fine intricacies of this game is part of the fun and pulling out an occasional big move feels just good. The game looks classy too and I wouldn’t mind having a copy of this Ian O’Toole illustrated masterpiece at home.

3. Tinner’s Trail

This is a game I enjoyed the most. Its mechanisms feel thematic and you interact with other players a lot. Basically, it’s an action point game with auctions and resource extractions. Every decision feels important in more ways. It also left me curious about another Martin Wallace design - Brass. I like that production more and I feel like a little more crunchier version of this might be even more fun. Here, the board is too busy for me to like it as a physical item. Still, it’s a lot of fun with many difficult decisions.

2. Assyria

I find this to be the exactly kind of the game I would like to have in my collection to pull out once or twice a year. The game is highly interactive (most of my fav board games have that in common, I find myself disliking multiplayer solitaire and cooperative games) and actually fairly light. The combination of mechanisms make it feel, at least to me, very thematic. The way you need to feed your huts and the way they get at the end of round flushed away by floods puts me in sandals of that ancient nomadic chief. The way you score points is mildly point salad-y but in a good way. There are not many choices or decisions but every decision feels interesting and important. Even the way you can sacrifice some of your huts in order to be first one to play is interesting. This game is a hidden gem and I expect it to get a new version and well-deserved recognition.

1. Obsession

Yes, I might be slightly overhyped here, because I crushed my opponents in the single game of this I have played so far, but I like this a whole bunch starting with the production. I just want to have this on my table. Cards, tiles and wooden meeples, all of it looks exquisite and helps the overall theme. The game feels extremely thematic as you are hosting various parties and other events in various rooms of your estate and use your servants to host them. The last part are guests. You’re trying to get the best hand of guest possible, but I wouldn’t call it a deck building game. The game presents you with many options and none of them feels boring, even passing and replenishing your hand is good and rewarded with some money. I can’t wait to play more, but I also want to chat more during the game and really got into the role of Victorian aristocracy. It’s just pure joy.

And that’s it for this year. Next year, hopefully video games are back and board games aren’t just their digital implementations. Look at it, real things look so nice and tactile.

Low Effort

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader

Requested: no

Summary: Y/N gets a surprise visit, which triggers some unpleasant symptoms

Word Count: 1k+

Tags/Warnings: mentions of stomach cramps, slight allusion to anxiety, negative emotions

A/N: Long time no see! This is a thing I needed to get off my chest and needed to get the emotions out, so it’s just some Jay comfort/fluff. Also, a warning that I haven’t written in so long, this kind of feels a bit meh, so I hope I haven’t lost too much of my writing touch LOL

JAY HALSTEAD MASTERLIST

You closed your laptop shut, just as your phone lit up with a notification about a new message from Jay.

Sorry, got held up. 10 minutes. Tops.

You smiled, typing a quick response of acknowledgment to tell him not to hurry before you got up, grabbing your bag. You were too fried to continue anything else so you figured you would just go and wait for him. Fresh air was better than whatever was coming through the office vents.

As the glass doors of the main entrance on the first floor slid open and you felt the chill of the Chicago winds hit your face, you sighed. Fresh air was definitely better.

“Y/N.”

You glanced up, your eyebrows naturally bunching together at the sound of a woman’s voice.

As your eyes met hers, you froze for a moment, your brain still processing the fact that she was here.

“Amy?” Her name slipped past your lips before you could stop yourself, even though the only emotion you were feeling at this moment was surprise. There was nothing positive or negative about it.

Amy could feel it in your voice as well. “Can we talk? I’ve missed you.”

You frowned as a cramp shot through your lower abdomen.

“I thought we were better friends than this. Low-maintenance, remember?” Amy said, and you could hear the tone in her voice, the one she used when she was upset or disappointed.

The feeling of indignation shot through you once again.

“Yeah, low maintenance, not low effort.”

Your voice was low but you didn’t let the emotion sway it. You spent years telling yourself that it was just a low-maintenance friendship, that you were both just busy, but you couldn’t ignore the way she’d reappear in front of you only when she needed your support, or when the guy she was seeing was out of town.

You glanced up at the street but hadn’t seen Jay’s car yet.

You exhaled. “Look, Amy. You have your priorities, I get it. Just don’t expect me to drop mine when you blow back into town or when your boyfriend doesn’t have time for you. It doesn’t work that way.”

You felt the cramps intensify and knew what it was. You called it “emotional cramps” with Jay, joking that as long as he kept you happy you’d be fine. Yet, here they were again. Maybe it was because you hadn’t had them in a while, you felt them more intensely now.

You put a hand on your stomach as you looked up at Amy. As expected, she had an indignant look on her face.

“How could you say that, Y/N? I know the fact that I was seeing Trevor was a sore spot with you because you weren’t seeing anyone so I didn’t want to make things harder for you. But now…”

You couldn't even respond as the pain ripped through you once again and you bent forward slightly, your knees buckling a little. You braced yourself for the impact of your knees hitting the concrete sidewalk when you felt his arms around you.

“Babe, what’s wrong?”

Jay.

Amy seemed stunned for a moment before she spoke again, “It must be her…”

“Why’s it acting up?” Jay asked, his entire focus on you as you glanced up at him and quietly shook your head.

Jay glanced up at Amy. They didn’t know each other since you’d met Jay sometime after contact between you and Amy had dwindled to almost nothing. By the time you and Jay had started dating, you’d made up your mind to let go of Amy and this friendship, and it had merely nagged at you a little at the back of your mind from time to time so you hadn’t brought her up.

“Come on, we’re going to Med,” Jay said quietly, pulling you upright.

You glanced at him. “Don’t you dare carry me,” You warned.

Despite the worried look in his eyes, Jay smiled. “We’re going to Will.” He repeated, almost like he was daring you to argue.

You didn’t argue. Partly because all you wanted to do was get out of there but partly because you knew it was useless. Besides, the pain was more intense than you remembered.

Without a second glance back, Jay helped you into the car and drove off, both of you leaving Amy still standing on the sidewalk.

You knew what had triggered the attack, so after getting medication for the pain and cramping, you’d been feeling much better.

“You know I’d be feeling even better if you would stop hovering, Detective.” You said, directing the comment at your boyfriend.

Will smiled as he tapped on the iPad in his hand and glanced at his brother. “She’s fine. Her tests are normal, and it was probably just a one-off stress-related attack.”

You nodded. “I’ll follow up with my therapist, I promise.”

Will ruffled your hair affectionately and you growled because he knew you hated it.

“I’ll get the discharge started.”

Jay was quiet as he leaned over you, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. “You sure you’re okay?”

You nodded, before you glanced back down.

“Amy’s an old friend.” You said, after a while. "At least, she was."

Jay didn’t say anything, so you continued, telling him about how Amy was when she started dating anyone, and it only progressively got worse. “And it’s not about seeing her often, you know? It’s just…”

Jay nodded. “You didn’t feel like she cared.”

You sighed quietly. “I just… it got to a point where I realized she didn’t care. I was a friend when she needed me, and when she didn’t, I just… didn’t exist. And apparently, to her, that’s me being sore.”

Jay just took your hand in his, gently stroking your fingers.

“But I just realized it was better to have no one than to be treated that way, so I just…”

“You don’t have to explain anything to me,” Jay said quietly. “Listen, someone who gives you low effort doesn’t deserve you. I don’t care who they are. Anyone who makes you feel this way doesn’t deserve even one percent of you.”

You looked up at him and smiled, a little sadness hidden behind it.

“I guess seeing her today just brought it all back, you know? And then it triggered all those emotions and then my stomach cramps decided to join the party.” You made a face.

Jay smiled quietly back at you. “But you know what? You’re not alone. At least not anymore.”

You smiled and leaned forward for a hug. Jay perched by the edge of the bed, pulling you gently into his arms and you buried your face into his shoulders, feeling his arms encircle your entire body.

“I know.” You whispered.

Jay kissed the top of your head. “Good.”
