Note to future historians: It was not clear that Biden was going to lose.

Biden decided not to seen reelection about a day and a half ago. There was certainly an air of concern, but to onlookers like me, it was not anywhere near certain that he would lose the election to Trump. I'm not a political junkie or political science researcher, but I've been paying pretty good attention.

No matter what happens this year, I hope I don't read future analyses that say voters believed the Biden campaign was doomed.

Played Wright Around the USA with one child this evening. I lost twice. Notice the #FloridaSouthern call out at the penultimate space.

I added the upcoming International Computer Games Association (ICGA) conference, Computers and Games 2024 (https://icga.org/?page_id=3907) to the list of #CombinatorialGames events: http://kyleburke.info/CGTMeetings.php

I don't know exactly how relevant this topic is, so please feel free to convince me one way or the other here.

I just finished listening to the latest If Books Could Kill episode, this one about Michael Lewis' book on Sam Bankman-Fried: https://twitter.com/IfBooksPod/status/1786021820941963597

Saying that chess is too simple is a huge red flag for those aware that it's EXPTIME-hard. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0097316581900169) If you can solve Chess scenarios effortlessly, then you can solve all sorts of extremely heavy computational problems that elude us. #CombinatorialGames #ComputationalComplexity

On the last #GameLunch of the year, I got shot first in #SecretHitler.

#Sprouts2024 happened yesterday and it was great! I uploaded the players submitted and added them to the Gorgons page, so you can play against them: http://kyleburke.info/DB/combGames/gorgons.html

For the Gorgons tournaments at #Sprouts2024 this weekend, we'll use an 8 x 8 board with 3 Gorgons on each team. http://kyleburke.info/DB/combGames/gorgons.html

Come to Sprouts! Listen to undergrads talk about games, etc. It's online (Zoom) and registration is free: http://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2024/

Students here at #FloridaSouthernCollege who attend #Sprouts2024 get one of these cool notebooks.

(I think they're cool.)
