Aged like milk

A Jackalope will also never ask you for $7500 to redo a negative game review. Know your cryptids!

I'm leaving my channel email on vacation mode for a few days more. One of the shitty little features of modern life is coming back from holiday to unread emails. Lets just push them back a day or two

Six family catch ups, two zoos, two museums, 1 planetarium, 1 pool visit and much much more in one weeks holiday. I now need a holiday from my holiday.

Back from a family getaway in Tāmaki Makaurau and naturally @3mbg.bsky.social got "oh I know you, I'm a fan of your videos" by a dude from AvSec

Apparently the internet hate new formula one, whereas I've enjoyed the last two races immensely. It is so weird to see a bunch of 20 something internet talking heads pining for the good old days of real racing that happened when their dads were toddlers.

Today's video is ranking the official arkham horror campaigns of what is being called Chapter one. That is, the boxed campaigns that have come out to date. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyiH...

What a hard balancing act the government has, trying to navigate the fuel supply crisis, while maintaining the illusion that reducing fossil fuel consumption is just not possible.

Woke AF tabletop creative over here still looking for work. Plz tell all of your woke AF tabletop industry friends. Thnx.

Almost exactly 3 years ago I started working on a game about public transit & reducing car dependency. And on Wednesday the Kickstarter campaign for the game goes live! Link to our page - www.kickstarter.com/projects/fow...

A reminder that Adam Baldwin is a terrible person who coined the term gamergate. He is not "shiny" he's a piece of crap.

Rocking SMS while the Dinxcon! @3mbg.bsky.social

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Somehow I completely missed that Steve Dee from tin star games passed away in January He was one of the good ones. This obituary says a lot about the kind of man he was and I will miss him. (I'd be wondering where he was and went looking for this news fearing it) www.rascal.news/steve-dee-ga...

So, who reckons these formula one races will go ahead this year? The Bahrian GP is set for 29 days for now and i'd put its chances of happening at zero. The Qatar and UAE ones are much later, but hot damn would all those rich westerners be fun targets if Iran and the USA are still fighting.

Pōneke, where we need an ambulance at a library opening in case people get crushed

To understand Wellington you have to understand how deeply and profoundly the whole city fucking loves the central library Reopening today after a near-decade of earthquake repair/strengthening

Today's video is moon colony bloodbath, a super chill game where you build a moon colony and absolutely nothing bad happens. Any reports of killer robots, airlock accidents and violent riots on the moon are fabricated. Become a moonie by watching this handy instructional video youtu.be/pdx7QG9pQn4

There are many types of you tube commentors, most are good, some are awful. One of the very unusual types is the serial negger I've had this guy who keeps posting on list videos about how boring they are and that he stopped watching after x minutes The psychology of this behavior is fascinating

Found out today that New Zealand's national strategic oil reserve is kept in Spain and the UK. People here acting like this thing with Iran isn't a big deal and that the rapid decay of the international order isn't the single biggest threat to this country since the 1940s are delusional.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Ministry of Education were doing extremely well in the Driving Me To Despair Trying To Get Support For My Child stakes but here comes Whatu Ora off the top rope with a steel chair 🙄

"Sloppelganger" is one for the ages

So, the application I use to clean up my registry and other things on the PC now defaults to deleting your entire downloads folder Less than ideal when you are working on a video pulling a ton of content from said download folder. Got it restored, but that was super stressful

Shadow moon syndicates is a realy good game! A card-driven sandbox with area control and handmanagement! Could be game of the year for me! @3mbg.bsky.social

Reminded of the best wrestling commentary line ever delivered by Matt Striker (of course): "Of all the things I have seen, that was the most recent"

A reminder that we spent billions on new defence toys that NZDF didn't want in order to placate Trump and the US military industrial complex so that he wouldn't put tariffs on us.... and he still put the tariffs in place. The NZ Government is America First, NZ last yet again.

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

So this was on BGG for a few hours and no longer appears to be.

Today's video is downforce, which is being released in line with the new Formula one season starting, entirely by coincidence. It's a game that looks like its about racing cars formula one style. But it really isn't. It's about sports betting, collusion and cheating. youtu.be/pheF1YtzMgc

Fascinating to see Dice Towers response to Sam Healy going feral with his ICE comments was to fire all the Dice Tower staff who don't work onsite. Doing that just after your fundraiser, which all those former people contributed to is a very interesting decision. I don't think I'd like to meet him

Welp, Print & Play is closing... I’ll post more about it soon, but for now, holler if you have any hot, new job gossip! (I’ve worked full-time in the tabletop industry for 6 years and sure do hope to keep it that way 💁‍♂️.)

Had an amazing design and test session on a game I am working on with my new game design partner. We are cooking up something really cool, and deep, and inspired by all the things I love in board gaming. Like all designs, it is standing on the shoulders of giants, but the view up here is aces.

Some games are too small, too weird, too annoying or too obscure to justify the work that goes into one of our stop motion 3 minute board game reviews. For those games we have combination reviews. Sorry for the long video, I didn't have the time to make a short one. youtu.be/w8YPtvIxCPA

Definitely read this headline as "culture war creeps in local councils" which ... checks out

Hipkins going all out for my dying bestie, the international rules-based order: "For the US to claim that it was a preemptive act of self-defense because they were aware that Israel was going to attack... shows absolute contempt for international law."

Hey all, Wellington Pride are running some board game events if people are keen. www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/events/bored...

Here’s Luxon saying NZ supports “any action” to stop Iran and me following up to ask if that would include carpet bombing (vid via RNZ)

Quite the assortment for February. Penguin-maxing

The Government's legislation to ban protests outside homes will restrict our right to protest and will lead to us going down the repressive path of Australia and Britain. This bill must be scrapped. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/26/b...

Literally, at work this morning: Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B. AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B. Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

This needs to happen in AoNz Character references to be scrapped in Victorian courts for crimes including rape and assault ‘As if being a ‘good bloke’ cancels out the violence you perpetrate.’

Today's video is Puerto Rico, no, not the AI slop version, the original 2002 version of the game, with all it's warts on display. Check out why this became the biggest game in hobby board gaming, and why people walk on egg shells around it now. youtu.be/v2bfUdf4pbw

Someone in our comments described the 3 minute board games theme as more iconic than Pornhub's. What an amazing compliment, lol.

Cause, effect. National owns this by scrapping permanent speed reductions around schools.
