I've tried to be all "it is what it is" since finding out about Destiny's wind-down. But man. This hurt. A lot. Thank you, Destiny, and all the Bungie devs who touched it, for giving me so, so much, for 12+ glorious years.

tell them there’s a sex criminal in the building

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

I'm sorry but this is such a wack answer. Talking instead (albeit accurately) about government misspending is a complete deflection from the issue that Bezos has amassed and captured a truly absurd amount of wealth without meaningfully paying back into the economy that makes it all possible.

Gotta love the bajillion dollar "revolutionary" AI getting even the simplest things about hockey nonsensically wrong. What a profoundly fucking useless, expensive piece of flotsam.

My latest free newsletter is about one of The New York Times's specialties: publishing the opinions of wealthy elites as if they are news.

Literally just finished reading this piece. It's quite good. cheftova.substack.com/p/i-met-clav...

Samples received and approved! Assembly of Mystic Curling Club is underway. Also, I'll be in Seattle this weekend with the game at the Granite Curling Club for their RainbowSpiel charity event, benefitting the National Transgender Law Center and Trans Lifeline! www.kickstarter.com/projects/asm...

Be sure to tell all your friends where they can get 1200+ commercial use fonts for all their game dev and graphic design needs ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

Good thing I can write a fucking e-mail or look up a tutorial myself, then.

I've been getting so many targeted ads since hitting the big four-zero for Beer Leaguer hockey workouts to keep me from being a slow, out-of-breath fossil out there, which like... hurtful... ...but... 🤔 maybe?

You don't even need to go existential with your arguments against the pervasiveness of AI tools. You can stick to real, tangible issues - Adobe software was already notoriously unstable dogwater. How many MORE random crashes are caused by the resource drain/instability of all this unrequested slop?

Project Hail Mary was excellent, and proof that you can still make movies from compelling original concepts, and more importantly not spoon-feed your audience every tiny bit of expository justification for things.

Yep, Adobe pulled this shit on us for our shared license. The "downgrade" to Creative Cloud Standard is buried in their plans section so you have to go digging for it to switch, but they will refund the difference in price as soon as you switch.

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

Started the night with a @marathonthegame.bungie.net W on a sponsor kit 🐛

Yeah, @marathonthegame.bungie.net has absolutely got the juice. Can't remember the last time I failed/died this much in a game and didn't get frustrated - just went back for more. Hades?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

In a couple hours, Bungie's new game Marathon is going to launch, and I hope it absolutely blows the doors off. The gleeful angry-mob teardown of new games before they even come out (Highguard, anyone?) is bad for gaming, it's bad for creativity, and it's bad for art as a whole. It has to stop.

The swelling of pride watching the USA Women's Hockey team win Olympic gold is how I should, and wish I could, feel watching the men. Hilary Knight is the fuckin' goat. Incredible game.

90 minutes till the Mixed Doubles Gold Medal Game! Should you fill that gap watching some of our cool friends play Mystic Curling Club? Yes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MY1...

I KNOW you all can't get enough Curling during this Olympics. So how about having your own game at home, whenever you want, right on your table? With magic! And cute animal companions! @asmadigames.bsky.social mystic-curling-club.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Late pre-orders are now open for Mystic Curling Club! Now, you too can show "lets go!" after making a shot, in the comfort of your own home and game night! mystic-curling-club.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Hockey is the only major sport where it's a FACT that your average dedicated fan would make a better General Manager than almost every one employed in the NHL. I'm deadass. Fire Drury and sell MSG.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Chainsaw Man movie was really good, complete with yet another banger ending song with Utada Hikaru.

Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry. youtu.be/Ci5pOjyJknI?...

Friends on here who are fans of Chess, this might interest you! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... We @asmadigames.bsky.social just launched Chess Joker - a fresh twist on a classic that adds 256 "joke" cards with unique powers that can do all kinds of crazy stuff. Any support greatly appreciated!

Chess Joker has launched! Join in now at: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... I'm so excited to have two cool new games to share with everyone at the end of the year. Curling and Chess are both games I've loved for a long time, and it's fun to put a unique spin on each of them.

Keep using ChatGPT if you thought the humans hooked into the goo pods in The Matrix had a sweet thing goin' on.

I don't know when they switched the title/intro screen soundtrack back to the OG Destiny 1 tracks but man that hit me RIGHT in the feels. So good to be back home.

Pretty cool to be mentioned (Innovation Ultimate) among a list of some truly great games from this year! www.npr.org/2025/12/03/n...

Innovation Ultimate made the NPR list! sick sick sick www.npr.org/2025/12/03/n...

PAX Unplugged @asmadigames.bsky.social is wrapped! Great show. Absolutely exhausted and looking forward to vacation. I assure you that what I lacked in pictures taken, we made up for in dumplings eaten.

We've been taking some fancy product shots, Chess Joker is really shaping up! Very excited to be showing this off at #PAX Unplugged next week. Chess Joker is Carl Chudyk's latest - the great game of chess with lots of interesting cards. No more memorized board positions! Tactics rule the day.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I also had NO CLUE, as a customer/gamer & tangentially linked to the industry. For executive leadership to make financially catastrophic decisions based on "let's make a new, worse answer to a problem that's already been solved, because we're bigger and have more money" is indefensibly incompetent.

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry. These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly. Aggressive MTX, everything is a live service, DRM that only punish paying players, NFTs, and now AI. What a shitshow.

Good Curling, everyone! Over 500 people so far have decided that they want to curl with dice and make swooshy broom noises as they imagine sweeping them down a sheet of ice. You, too, could be as cool as them, if you simply click the link below: www.kickstarter.com/projects/asm...

The Dodgers' organist just played the Attack on Titan theme in the 16th inning; that's how deep into the fuckin bag he's had to go.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This is very, very cool for us and something we've wanted to be able to do for a long time!

Y'all, we are less than 500 DOLLARS away from our funding goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/asm... Want gameplay examples? I got links for you belowwwww

Hey friends! Had the chance to play this on stream and it's a genuinely fun and well thought out game. Cute Art, a element of dexterity not often used in boardgames AND you get to be cool af witches. Consider supporting them!

Roll ALL the dice!!! If you're in a time crunch, you can play a full End of Mystic Curling Club in 5 seconds.
