I finished the last map of Voyages today. I'm still very happy with the game and enjoyed the simplicity of the new mechanics on this map.

Today I played the fifth map of Voyages and finished the A Most Epic Voyage. The nemesis introduced by the AMEV definitely made the game much harder, but I was able to finish the map with enough stars. I didn't get to use the mechanics introduced in this map a lot, but the drifting and diving choices felt meaningful.
There's just one more map for me to try for the first time but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the game.

I played map 4 of Voyages today. The beacon mechanic made this map a lot of fun to explore.

Today I played through map 3 in Voyages. The addition of filling out journals to track encounters with creatures was fun.

The latest episode of Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men is a lot of things.
It's a good jumping on point to understand the podcast, it's hosts, and X-Men broadly.
It's a live podcast with crowd questions and engagement.
It's partly a recap of the history of the comics and the podcast.
It also has a portion with a disruptive person who flees when Jay doesn't rise to the bait about identity politics.The episode: https://www.xplainthexmen.com/2025/06/491-live-from-the-library/
Jay's open letter to the disruptor: https://www.xplainthexmen.com/2025/06/an-open-letter/
This podcast has been my favorite for years and it's hosts are decidedly among the good ones.
