Another great game I can vouch for: such an appealing puzzle!

Well we’re 2 weeks out so it’s time for me to scramble to assemble Skyline!

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

New house rule suggestion for magic: After each game, everyone gets to punch you X-1 times, where X is the number of times you activated Strip Mine.

imagine tweeting so bad that a federal court is like "didn't ask don't care"

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

If you hire me AND bruno, you could get two long-time collaborators who will make your material, whatever it is, *alarmingly* unhinged

New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂 👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at semicoop.com/comic/beast-of-burden/ #gamenight #boardgames

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

The golden rule: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you, but if the rule on a card conflicts with this rule, follow the rules on the card

Attention all #Boston based #gamedesign 🎲✂️! GMG next all-day Playtesting event will take place in about 3 weeks on 10/18! Don't miss out on a great opportunity to test and connect with other gamers/designers. #boardgames

Working on a new game with @gametrodon.bsky.social that I have NO IDEA how we're going to market... but it's getting good playtest reviews. Come see it at BostonFIG hopefully!

FYI about the "wildly overestimated % of a small sub-population" data you may have seen: a) seems to be from 2022 b) I hear tell that the 2022 ui design for this survey involved a slider defaulting to 50% which respondents had to drag left or right to estimate (visually, in part!) size of groups

Dessert tonight: animal crackers and juice. Just out here todlermaxxing

Stephen Miller: "I flew right to the hospital and Charlie told me with his dying breath to quash all the libs, and also he said that everyone had to know that I, Stephen Miller, definitely do not play with porcelain dolls, ever and I do NOT look like Nosferatu."

Good evening to everyone except whoever wrote this form that has up and down arrows on the social security number input

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

I’m beginning to suspect that cats don’t actually enjoy going out as much as the act of being let out

The most niche thing I have ever made. Not a single one of my friends gets this at all

Universes Beyond: General Mills Breakfast Cereals

Can I get a gut check on this "Board Games World Tour" design? Just making sure I didn't accidentally misspell a city or make a rude shape somewhere. All good?

Chicken boolean

Growing up my parents used "Billerica" like "Timbuktu" to mean "a place that is unfathomably far away." TIL that Billerica is just a city in Massachusetts that is 30 minutes away from my parents' house

Missing all my friends who are at Gen Con... but not missing Indianapolis. Sorry Indianapolis.

Big announcement!!! I will be working with the folks at @unstablegames.bsky.social to set up a brand new sister studio as the lead game designer! You may know them as the people behind Unstable Unicorns, Here to Slay, and more. I’m so so excited for the future, and what we will create together!

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest

kind of remarkable to tie your reasonably respected brand to "big toilet" but congrats i hope it's magical as fuck or whatever

Other great titles: Insider (not Werewords) Phantom Ink Rosetta: The Lost Language (if you can find it!) A Message from the Stars Blob Party Ponkotsu Factory Anomia

Just in case you find yourself looking for a great word association game for whatever reason, I always have highly recommended Phantom Ink by @resonym.com

Some of these are fruit flavored, some peppermint. Can you guess which is which? (No, you can’t) The person who put these in a variety pack is a menace

I don’t remember this but my sister swears it happened: DOCTOR PREPPING ME FOR SURGERY: Drugs? Alcohol? ME: (sedated) None. I’ve never had a drink. DR: Really! Wow. ME: (jiggling my big fat belly) I prefer other indulgences. DR: Ha ha, such as? ME: Other men’s wives.

It’s so cool when game developers branch out into other media. The creators of Myst designed this AirBnB’s shower controls.

Do it. This was a wonderful experience. If I had a game that was ready I would 100% be submitting

what...what exactly is the new third color, if you had to name it

Alt text. This is pretty awful, but probably what has to be done to preserve the service at all. IMLS still has a chance- please make sure to show support.

Very unhappy that human outsides are all symmetrical but our insides aren’t

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Why have I been sleeping on Airtable?

Okay but most animals have 2 eyes… why is it always snakes?

The kind of timeline synchronicity you wait your whole life for.

I have sent a copy of ‘The Onion’ to every member of Congress. To spread its message to less powerful people, I have also taken out an ad in a lesser newspaper. Read my full letter here: theonion.com/why-im-sendi...

Rata-tuah on that thang

I never understood why people find board game rulebooks so confusing… until tried to read pinball table rules. I understand each of the words individually but together they mean nothing

they never miss
