Not much just lying in bed organizing my apps by the seven deadly sins

First play of REBIRTH, two players on a lazy Saturday.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars is the first title from Ingenioso Hidalgo, Paolo Mori's personal imprint. This hex-and-counter wargame is deadly smart in so many respects, not least of which is the way it presents its battles with such clarity. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/25/b...

They’re chopping down the trees in front of my apartment. Livid.

(This sudden rush to recognize Palestine is, I'm afraid, putting me in mind of nothing so much as the high-fiving a drowning hand meme.)

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

Playtest of CATACLYSM: NEW WORLD ORDER. Resurgent Russia in Eastern Europe. Failed State in South Africa. China in disorder. And it’s still just the 1990s!

Can we stop with the accusations of hypocrisy? Their behavior is consistent under a different organizing principle - power and personal aggrandizement above all else.

Don't both-sides this; there is no debate with Nazis.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

This may be the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Many annoying leftists are right, but the others are correct.

I see we’re back to blaming voters, when we live in a country with no opposition party.

If you have significant crossover between games and Bowie fans in your life, the "remastered" version of BOWIE is now available for download on the BGG game page. Changes are mostly cosmetic, but the batshit premise is still the same. Enjoy! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25...

How is it possible that feeling bad makes me want a little treat but also feeling good makes me want a little treat this is rigged

One cheeseburger away, folks. This is their plan for after.

Whatever else this is, it is practice for when a certain someone eats their last cheeseburger.

Today’s nonsense is MARKET-GARKET from Compass!

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Denovated

Once again, it’s essential to understand that these top media outlets are political actors with an agenda to delegitimate the left and prop up and protect the right.

Lodge 49, every time.

Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars is a winner. My gaming partner isn't drawn to Napoleonic and/or hexes, but loved this. Yes, it's light, but don't let that or the homespun production fool you. Timing, combined arms use and risk taking when needed make this a smart challenge. @mropla.bsky.social

This better be about Control 2 @remedygames.com

US political violence overwhelmingly comes from the right - the side that calls for, glorifies, & literally pardons it

Today’s fancy - NO PEACE WITHOUT HONOR - the only game in this series I haven’t tried.

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events

The last pieces to the puzzle! Finally acquired 信玄上洛 (Shingen’s March on the Capital) and 関東制圧 (Conquest of the Kantō), two early modules in the Sengoku Legends series. I now have all nine modules published in Game Journal. I’ve already translated the series rules, time to finish the rest!

BATTALION - my Carthaginians vs Bill’s Romans. Based on the fondly-remembered Pocket Battles but with a nice graphical overhaul and more open mechanics.

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators. If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: [email protected]

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

BRITANNIA with the lads, as you do. Sounds like something is going on down south, no matter to us up north.

Are you kidding? We let every President do it.

This asshole sure has a lot to say about an election he supposedly doesn’t care about.

Got around to the new King of the Hill, and it’s pretty funny, but Bobby is far and away the best character.

Burning Banners campaign 5 - Approaching Thunder. Orcs swarm Oathborn holdings in the East. Bill got 9 out of the 10 settlements needed to win but I’m pushing him back…

Repeating my take... gridiron football is a sport ideally played by robots. I'm actually serious. Make Cyberball happen.

It would be neat if someone did a survey of Americans asking them to rank these forms of theft in order of how much money is stolen. My bet is that - if they were told shoplifting was part of larceny - most would think that was the biggest category.

This is a key point. Much of 20th/21st C. “innovation” has been a “pursuit of loneliness” (to borrow a phrase from P.Slater). From private cars to “home as castle”; cable, narrowcasting & all the ways the internet helps us avoid interaction. An atomized ppl are easier to sell to & easier to control.

Current lovelife situation:

I think it’s safe to say they’re just gonna be enforcing the laws they want to enforce against the people they want to enforce them against instead of honoring the body of the constitution as an all-encompassing mandate for behavior, so you gotta stop seeing the world inside that system
