I really dislike the orange taterdic

It's #CraftWednesday update time! How are your projects going? Started anything new? @benny275.bsky.social @atikingames.bsky.social @witchwaygames.bsky.social @jamieragwort.bsky.social @bexagons.bsky.social @junkfoodgames.bsky.social @patcrowe.boardgameplayer.net @puzzlekindcreative.com

Only morons believe this. That party-line republican budget has loaded our economic pipeline with a payload of middle and low income pain. Minimally, I expect democrats not to approve a CR for this smoking pile of fecal matter. All GOP is doing is moving up the timeline on these mass firings.

I'm not sure how anyone thinks this is ok. I'm not sure why dems aren't pushing this message to the hilt. Stupidity, I think. If the tables were turned ...

I'm already deeply disillusioned with the democratic party. But if they fold on this shutdown because the admin threatens to fire people they already aim to fire ... I'm done with them. We need a new party.

Apparently, with headlines, too.

Playing Vantage for the first time today. This is an AMAZING game. Wish Mr Stegmeiyer was on here so I could thank him directly.

I had to ask the online DMV for a verification code today. It took 20 minutes to get the code. And I'm thinking: why? How? 1. Reads request for code on computer and fills out code request form 1287b-4 2. Form hand-delivered to code generation dept 1/3

$$$

Of course the US economy is stumbling, the guy running it is an idiot.

“You're jacked in. But…if you die in the game-” “You die in real life. Got it.” “What? No, you lose your inventory and start over.” “Oh.” “What kind of sick game kills its players!? That’s awful!” “…” “Let me get this straight: you thought this game might KILL YOU and you still wanted to play!? wtf"

No disrespect to this person, but I have lived in tex-ass, for years. Leaving it is one of the best things ever to happen to me. It's a vile, corrupt oligarchy full of wonderful people under the thumb of liars and thieves who disenfranchise them at every turn. 1/2

This is hilarious in a really heartbreaking kind of way

I wonder if not that long ago we humans were like: "they're stopping aqueduct research? Last week it was the defunding of public bathhouses! Where could this possibly be headed!?"

100% agree. If you want changes, pressure your representatives. Let them know you will vote and spend based on how they act. A rep's primary motivation is always keeping their job.

Superman was an immigrant. In fact, I don't think he had a visa or anything.

US's current system of congressional districting is a flaw in our democracy. Utilizing that flaw to redraw maps without even the pretext of new census data is an attack on democracy second only to intimidation at the polls. This is politicians picking voters ...

There are lots of reasons people start—and continue—designing board games. Here are a few of them: boardgamedesigncourse.com/5-reasons-we...

Their a coin to your witcher

Playing a little TinyEpicDungeons today. I heard the team behind this game have sold their company to another. Got to wonder if that's tariff related.

Playing SETI for the first time. I won this new at @ragecon.bsky.social in a raffle!

Y'know, the yutube algorithm really is sh!te. If they used this same algorithm when it was new, it wouldn't exist. It would have died when nobody could find content they cared about.

Cutting maybe 12 billion (a year) in renewable subsidies because the industry "is mature" while leaving in place 20 billion in oil subsidies is an attack on clean energy. Cutting nearly a trillion out of Medicare (10y) is an attack on seniors that will close hospitals and cost lives.

This month's monster video is awesome!

Another great day at @ragecon.bsky.social . Man, if I wasn't such a doofus, I'd have taken pictures, but honestly, I was having too much fun playtesting to think that far!

@poultergeistbg.bsky.social enjoyed playtesting your airport game today!

Wow, this is brilliant! — Miskatonic Repository creator Jade Griffin is interviewed on TV about her latest Call of Cthulhu creations! Come meet Jade and play her games at #RAGECon (Reno Area Gaming Expo) June 27-29 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV.

First day of @ragecon.bsky.social was beautiful. Lovely people, fantastic protospiel. Really looking forward to tomorrow!

I just backed Even Deeper Regrets: An Unfortunate Fishing Game Expansion on @Kickstarter

Decided to break this one out this weekend. What is this? (easy trivia this time)

MAGA voted for faster and more brutal genocide in Gaza, with a side of starvation and a third course of bombing and death in Iran. Fk 'em all.

Hubby got back from work trip and brought me these cool stickers.

Also, they are largely racists, bigots, deniers of science, and believers of fairytale economics.

Many T rump voters are those kids that buy an old, pos sportscar. They can't get what they want, so fall prey to a slick salesman. Everyone warns them of financial and social ruin, but they just "know better". Even as truth sinks in while that car disintegrates into the lawn, they'll never admit it.

Don't be fooled. Ice Ice Barbie knew exactly who Sen Pedilla was. She was making an example of him. If they can do that to a sitting US Senator, someone like me would still be in jail, and a minority would be in the hospital.

@mattleacock.bsky.social, I just want you to know that we're still playing original pandemic after all this time. And forbidden island. And also, I likely have taken your name in vain more than any other human on this planet, so thank you.

The very end of Witcher Path of Destiny. We're trying to decide who is the lesser evil - Renfri or Stregebor?

See, there's this awesome joke i heard about Tantalus, but every time I reach for it ...

Seems we traditionally show vampires preying on hapless fools in allies or on people they find attractive. If I was a vampire, I'd go for dirtbags: Politicians. Megacorp lobbyists. Billionaires. Eat the rich.

Every three weeks, like clockwork, my kid puts out a new creature concept video. This latest is one awesome ⬇️

"The other party is run by toddlers. Our party wants your toddlers to have free health care. We are not the same." Mr. Jeffries, cut this ad immediately.

My annual chart update (fixed an error!) @fertessa.bsky.social, co-designer of Cascadia Jr, is the 1st woman nominated for a SdJ award since 2023. I believe she is also the first ever Black woman, possibly the first Black designer nominated? Congratulations, friend! (note 👇)

@jay.bsky.team I'm pleased so many journalists and scientists are finding their way to this platform. What I struggle with is finding a way to navigate the Lernaean complex of paywalls modern news has become. I, and I think many others, would happily pay bluesky a monthly sub to slay that beast.

How do you lose Zombicide? About like this

Gloomhaven ... the Drake's Nest

@harvard.edu should make a deal with Canada and maybe partner with a university up there to service their existing international students

I did my civic duty today
