It gets better. We ended up taking the train, a 25 min arrival time, and packed to the gills. Then, the bus to get home never showed and had no live updates to its location, so we walked the 2 mile distance home from Roosevelt Station. But please give the corpos more tax breaks!

Seattle public transit rant: It’s 10:40 on a Saturday night and the E line, one of the most used bus routes, out of downtown has stopped running, despite the schedule saying otherwise. No notice, no detour warnings, nothing. It’s just not running. Thanks, Bruce Harrell and Seattle City Council! 1/2

FAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Went to a punk rock flea market tonight. Bought some punk rock fleas.

ok, played around & ended up here: Use this image as a template. Image size is 94x27.5mm (scale this however you want in pixels) Pink & Blue bars are cut off when bluesky crops. Desktop crop- Pink. Mobile crop -blue (pixel 7 anyways). Generally, don't put anything in the colored zones.

Heads up board game folks (and radio listeners?), I will be on KBOO Community Radio tomorrow at 11am with Winner's Bias talking about the PNW Indie Night Market at Pax West. You can listen in the PDX area at 90.7 FM or online anywhere at kboo.fm/program/winn...

THE MONTHLY CRUST: AUGUST EDITION This is a special edition where I mention, yet again, that I went to PAX. (Yes, I'm that excited about it still, okay?!) I also talk about what's next for Color Space and my other endeavors. #boardgames #writingcommunity

Everyone talking about how leftists were gleeful about Charlie Kirk dying, but it's weird how no one is talking about how the right was…also gleeful. When they post about how they finally get to take off the mask and destroy leftism – that is glee. That is them being very happy this happened.

Part of me wants to blame the curators of "the English canon," who tend to look down their noses at genre novels. More science fiction and fantasy should be taught in schools Fantasy/sci-fi is about grappling with bizarre hypotheticals, a skill that is only getting more useful as reality weirds

Does it still count as a 1-page TTRPG if you’re printing it double-sided? Or is that a 2-pager?

What omen does a butterfly being sliced up on the battlefield bring? Maybe Goblin God shouldn't have put the lil critter in harm's way? #webcomics #comics mutantpizza.net/2025/09/11/t...

Just a little over a week out from Game Market West! Getting all my duckies in formation… 🦆🎲✂️

I’m taking a week off after PAX. My next newsletter (The Monthly Crust) will be sent sometime next week, but I wanted to mention that I finally built an online store with my bare hands. And a computer. Check it out! Buy board games and whatnot: mutantpizza.net

I wrote about my experience at PAX West as an indie game designer and general hobbiest. This was an amazing, life changing experience for me. #PAXWest #boardgames #indieboardgames #indiegames

THE OAK TREE THE OAK TREE [SEPT 4, 2025] When you don't get that promotion, it might be time to go for the throat. #webcomics #comics wp.me/pacUGY-1Mj

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

Rascal has a sibling now?!? And some of my fave former Polygon writers are over there?!?! The co-op game writing revolution is growing and this gives me joy.

Another design journal on Color Space, my first post-PAX West where I sold the game at the indie night market #boardgames #indiegames #PAXWest

The first PNW Tabletop Game Market was a success! Diva duckies danced home with a bunch of happy folks!

Thanks everyone who came to the PaxWest Game Market! And thank you to all the designers and the Pax enforcers who wrangled the crowds! I’m so glad there continues to be a demand for this. I’m sure I’ll do a recap post at some point, but for now I’m wiped.

I am one of those people... at a convention if I see a table set up and reading a rulebook for a game I know? I'll just walk up and ask if they want me to teach them how to play. I'm not an extrovert (people exhaust me) but I trained myself to be outgoing and now I startle strangers with that. 🤗

Holy amazing whirlwind of a night! So many great games! Color Space was a hit! I got to meet so many cool people! I’m dog tired, but I’m so wound up and can’t sleep! Exclamation point! #PAXWest #boardgames

PNW Tabletop Game Market was a huge success! I had so much fun and now I will need so much sleep.

THE PNW INDIE GAME MARKET is in full swing at #paxwest !!! What a reception! You all are the best I swear!!!!

I'll be at PAX West most of today in the tabletop room. Flag me down if you want to play a board game!

#PAXWest attendees - welcome to day 2! Today's reserved tables start at 10:30a. Come visit us in Summit Level 2 Tabletop and try something new.  https://unpub.softr.app/paxwest

Yes, I design board games. But did you also know that I’ve been illustrating a #webcomic since January? Huh!? Did you!?!? You are legally required to tell me!

THE OAK TREE [AUG 28, 2025] Do you believe in ghosts? Or at least ghost sandwiches? #weebcomics #comics

I think this convo is outside my circle. I only ever hear about how great and thematic games like ARCS and ROOT are. but if folks are interested in that intersection of ttrpgs and board games, i highly recommend the newsletter Skeleton Code Machine. Exeunt Press explores all kinds mechanics.

Locally made & limited run indie board games for one night only at PAX West @ 7 PM!! Come check out games from 16 different designers (including myself) and support the local game designer community. www.alwaysawake.games/pnw-tabletop...

If you wanna see where all these weird little games are (cause there are a lot of them), check out your local indie market!

Never underestimate the power of cardboard. Our First Look area in Summit Level 2 offers an actual first look for games you can play for the first time in the US! And don't miss our special event on Saturday night highlighting 16 PNW local game designers. See more: spkl.io/63329A3TuN

Coming to PAX West? Stop by the Tabletop Game Market on Saturday from 7-10 PM at Summit Expo Hall (Next to the Unpub area) and check out some cool indie #boardgames

55 burgers 55 fries 55 tacos 55 copies of Color Space packed up and ready to sell at PAX West this Saturday night! Well, technically 54 because I'm keeping a copy for myself. Anyway, come see me. #boardgames #PAXWest #indie

AKIRA (1988, Katsuhiro Otomo)

I’m also going to be at PaxWest next Saturday with some demo copies in case anyone wants to try them out. Just send me a DM! (I also have an Unpub slot from 10:30-1:30 if you want to stop by)

When walking through the forest, I sometimes see moss and new plants taking root on a decayed tree stump. It feels like looking at a new miniature garden world, and it excites me. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls
