Posts I would like to get a lot of interaction: - something cool I did - something cool my friends did - something profound/funny/insightful Post that got a lot of interaction: - a throw-away observation about something that seemed odd in corporate America 🤷‍♂️ 😆

Whither are they going to deport the Hawaiians to achieve their dream of turning pipeline into an empty parking lot?

Played a fun round to finish out the year. #discgolf was good to me this year. Looking forward to another year of tossing plastic

Finished this one today. I enjoyed it, particularly the descriptions of the lead-up and the event itself. The acknowledgments/afterward sections were a good human touch, though less interesting.

And this should round it out. Really started digging my Westside stuff this year - we’re gonna see if they push the other makes out of my bag. I’m dubious, but so far they’ve been winners. Also, Marshall Street has been great. #discgolf #westsidediscs

Dumb question: when did Kroger become a department store?

Frustrations aside, always good to be out. #discgolf

Don’t really know why but I still have days where it’s like I’ve forgotten how to throw. Everything feels weak and off-target. Think today was a combination of factors - the 25-degree weather among them. #discgolf

This dog: “if all else fails I can go stick my head on this guy and he’ll pet me.”

Seafaring boardgame multiplayer playtest (no pic, I was busy) was, overall, a success. Had some issues w/ some elements at the extreme but ends of scales. Forgot some mechanics. Got some great input & and improvement from ideas. #boardgames #gamedesign

Note that my 14yo daughter won this round with “old dead guys”, which also works. #boardgames #cardgames #gamenight

Playing “Ransom Notes”. Card is “briefly summarize American history”. Nailed it.

Cat in the Box is a very interesting quantum take on a trick-taking card game. Recommended. #gamenight #cardgames #boardgames

One of the more interesting game supplements I’ve come across in some time - excited to try it out. #ttrpgs #dnd

After gifts from extended family, two steps closer to a fully Westside bag. 👍 #discgolf #christmas

Solo playtest success. I need to tweak the economy for sure, and possibly the roll difficulties, but the concept does work. #boardgames #gamedesign

Our day. #discgolf

Merry Christmas, folks. Hope you're all having a great day. 🙂

Tattoos. That's what he's pointing at as incontrovertible proof of guilt. Of being "killers". Recall that this admin is on record as saying they "don't have time" to give all these folks a trial.

Wild story from a friend (thread): Yesterday, he took a walk to the grocery to get a few things. On the way, walking ahead of him was a guy yelling “JESUS LOVES YOU” at all the passing cars. Guy stops at what my friend refers to as “homeless meetup point A”

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers. Hard mode: No Gundam Series, Battletech or Macross allowed

Couple birthday games from friends. Parks looks cool! And super excited to get the other #Illimat expansion + a bonus Luminary! Think there’s only one or two Luminary cards I don’t have. #boardgames

As the kids say, absolute banger.

Obvious Pro Tip: If something "looks bad", making obvious efforts to hide it makes it look worse. Accusations are cheap and circumstantial "evidence" is easy to conjure. But if you're actively trying to suppress info, it doesn't help your image and prompts even more scrutiny. #epsteinfiles #cecot

Well that was an "adventure". Finished up a project & had been a while since I'd done updates & restarted the work machine, so decided to do that. Upon completion, 3/4 of my monitors no longer functioned. nvidia drivers are kind of a pain, but been a while since ubuntu bit me like that.

I am up way too late but the prototype is (basically) complete. #boardgames #gamedesign

So this randomly came to mind earlier. Did this back in 2020. Think I could do some better guitar work these days, but the themes continue to seem... ...relevant. #music #recording

...interesting proportions there

Is this round great? Not really. Did I miss every putt outside of 10’? Pretty much. Was it still my best round in weeks? Absolutely. Actually played pretty decent. Arm a bit sore and could *not* find the putting range, but throwing was mostly solid, esp for recently. #discgolf

😮

I haven't had to do office IT support for years - delegated that to one of the junior devs some time ago. He's out on vacation, so naturally there was an issue first thing this morning and I'm the backup. Solution turned out to be "push the power button". Glad to see nothing has changed I guess.

😆😆😂

There was, apparently, a rather foolishly-optimistic part of me that greatly underestimated how difficult and laborious cutting out paper circles w/ scissors would be. #boardgames #gamedesign #prototyping

Last physical tokens for my prototype arrived. When I ordered the cheap 1” circles on the ‘zon, I did not expect them in an actual box. Not at all complaining, just seems…. Unnecessary? #boardgames #gamedesign

Anyone else averaging 30-40 rating points lower than they were over the summer, or is it just me? #discgolf

Map looks good. Getting close to playable. #boardgames #gamedesign

Went out with the boy & some friends today. Played meh. Lots of slip-outs & the arm/elbow is a little sore. Also just really tired. Was still a good time. Beautiful weather for December. #discgolf

Sometimes things just work. On left are my sea hex tiles I painted w/ 2 shades of blue spray paint. On the right are my reef/depth overlays I designed on the pc. I don’t think the colors could be more perfect. #boardgames #gamedesign #prototyping

So yesterday was pretty good. Decent weather to play a little disc golf, spent a while cutting out prototype cards for a board game I'm working on, had (too much) tasty food. Pretty relaxing and low-key. Guess I'm 46 now. 🤷‍♂️

Birthday loot. Card game looks promising and I am *super* excited about this book. Also, cozy sweater.

Went to get my fav club sandwich for lunch on my birthday and was not disappointed. 👍

Ok, component design complete. I think. #gamedesign #boardgames

It finally happened: found a disc and texted the number to discover I had previously found and returned a disc to the same guy. Repeat customer? #discgolf

Reasonable round today - really just glad to make it out after the week I'm having. Arm/elbow had been a bit sore recently - something I hadn't had issues with before - so I picked up a compression sleeve and that really seems to help. #discgolf

This morning.

Thousand-footer Edwin H Gott - the most powerful ship on the lakes today - departing Duluth this morning with a master's salute. Its horn is no foolin'. #greatlakesships #webcams

Best weather of the week today and I was *all set* to go throw some discs BUT THEN got hit w/ a "crisis" literally 20min before I was about to leave and so didn't make it out. It's not even my problem and there wasn't much I could do to "help" other than rule out stuff on my end. Erg. #discgolf

I am just a programmer Once again Begging producers of products Not to have multiple SKUs like "1055" and "1055.00" and "001055" Because someone, somewhere Is going to load this into Excel And Excel Is going To botch it. #webdev
