Okay, I’m ready to nestle back into my comfy, cozy rut.

Okay, y’all. Now that the holidays are behind us, everybody do a full, slow body scan and… deep breath!… unclench. There you go.

I am a person who is extremely excited and pleased with the launch of Pyrotechnics. This is fun. A good start to 2026. 🎉 I'm basically in my house just walking around in circles because I don't even know what to do with myself. #boardgames 🎲✂️

Sometimes, it's difficult.

Do you want to learn how to play Pyrotechnics and hear good things about the game? Check out this awesome how-to-and-review from King’s Entertainment Reviews! Great timing for this video because the game launches on Wednesday, New Year's Eve! #boardgames

Coming in 369 days? #boardgames 🎲✂️

If anything is going to revive the punk ethos, it's this AI horseshit, and I am totally here for it.

Inverted D6. 🤷 #boardgames 🎲✂️

Board game designers: In just two weeks we open submissions for the 2026 Cardboard Edison Award! cardboardedison.com/award

My first iteration of a new #boardgames design. 🎲✂️

This might be construed as a tedious 'awareness raising' thread, but Xmas can be a decidedly mixed bag for autistic & ADHD children & adults. The change in routines, the amped-up sensory stimuli, the flood of semi mandatory social gatherings, the unusual food, the unpredictability around gifts...

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

“There is no pasta, only Fazool.”

wat? C’mon, now.

One of life’s unknowable mysteries: Have I seen John Wick 1, 2 and 3 or did I watch John Wick 1 three times?

Everybody look at this weird coffee cup.

Persuasion and Conviction, both by @xoe.gay, explore two distinct acts in the life cycle of a relationship. Both installments are incisive, thought-provoking, and (deliberately) toxic. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/12/09/p...

Okay. The Seahorse & The Hummingbird is once again open for business after a SERIOUS redesign. It's not perfect, but I gotta move forward. If any of y'all wouldn't mind giving the site a good, hearty look, I'm in the market for feedback of the following variety: 🧵 1 of 2 #boardgames 🎲✂️

I am truly honored and humbled to have received The Katz Peace Prize. I’d like to take a moment to thank every individual person who made this incredible achievement possible: Me.

Rock Paper Scissors should really be called Scissors Paper Rock. ✂️📄🪨

It is astonishing how many people there are who are ready and eager—on their tippy-toes to pounce—to let me know what I am not capable of achieving.

Me at #PAXU, but replace music with convention static.

I wish I had gotten to meet more of all y’all in person at #PAXU, to turn some of these personas into persons, to add scaffolding to some of these weird digital-only friendships and mentorships. I wonder how many of y’all I walked past or looked right in the eye without even knowing it. #boardgames

I think the brainworm of #PAXU was a postcard game of cooperative Rock-Paper-Scissors. It keeps infiltrating my thoughts. #boardgames

I’m going to accept this as an appropriate sign off from the convention as I make my way home. See ya next year. #boardgames #PAXU ♥️

“Damned stupid awesome game!” — A Match Hatchery player coping with the decisions they’d made #boardgames 🎲✂️ #PAXU

Demonstrating Match Hatchery has been a magical experience. Playtesting the game with game designers is one thing. Introducing the game to folks who just wanna have a good time is a whole other thing. #boardgames 🎲✂️ #PAXU

I’m ready to Match and I’m ready to Hatch. Are you? Come ‘n’ get it! Find me at the Origami Whale demo table all day today and let’s play Match Hatchery! #boardgames #PAXU

I’m realizing that one thing I love about Match Hatchery is that while it’s a puzzle game, each player builds their own puzzle. Nothing is randomly added. Every decision is theirs. Every player succeeds or fails based on what they’ve built. #boardgames 🎲✂️

I am extremely introverted. It’s difficult for me to be around a lot of people for a long time. UNLESS THEY’RE ALL COOL AS SHIT I GUESS #boardgames #PAXU

I know that social media is for hyperbole and posturing and empty hullabaloo, but DAMN. For real, what a hell of a first day at #PAXU. Best con ever? Yeah, maybe. Everybody is just being so cool! I got to meet and reunite with all the best people. I beam. I gush. #boardgames

I’ve been demo-ing Match Hatchery all day today and it’s been amazing! I’ll be demo-ing all day tomorrow, too; come find me at the Origami Whale Games table in the demo area. Let’s have a game! If you come during the later half of the day, you can watch my brains liquefy! #boardgames #PAXU

Eyeing the forty-pound weight limit for my flight baggage *and* the twenty-five games that need to go into it. #boardgames 🎲✂️ #PAXU

#BoardGames Night! I finally got to use an expansion deck with Agricola. Usually when bringing Agricola to the table, somebody has never played before, so I've only ever used the base deck. Fun times! * Earth * The White Castle * Switchbacks * Agricola (with Artifex Deck expansion) * Forest Shuffle

A new review up on @meeplemountain.com this morning, for the excellent Crownfell from @weheart.games. This is a sharp two-player abstract with some killer art. www.meeplemountain.com/reviews/crow...

It's fun to see Pyrotechnics out in the world. #boardgames 🎲✂️
