MAKE A PLAY X-RATED The Play That Goes In The Wrong Hole

Interesting times at World Wonder Ring Stardom! They're losing the wrestler most underappreciated by non-fans of Stardom and signed the wrestler most underappreciated by fans of Stardom. 🤼

Planned a London trip for March! 🥳

Reached half my reading goal for the year just in the nick of time 😅

The best abstract strategy games are a meditation in forms of play. On a recent journey to Nepal, encounter their traditional decoration with flower vases of water. Reminded me of the game lacuna. @markgerrits.bsky.social There is a meditations of space and beauty.

This was a really fun sudoku sudokupad.app/2ir3nxyte9?s...

The devs of Escape Room Simulator 2 are clearly fans of good games

I can't believe this deckbuilder was made by a bunch of students, good stuff! store.steampowered.com/app/3860590/...

Pragmata demo was good fun. That's become a must-buy for me now.

Started slowly making my way through The Best Weird Fiction of the Year Volume 1 and this is such a great story. psychopomp.com/deadlands/is...

This feels like they turned that @prozdishere.bsky.social cow CCG skit into a real game gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Damn, the Brussels tickets for the Clair Obscur concert sold out while I was in the digital queue

I guess Chinese technology really is like 2 year ahead of us.

Finished the PowerWash Simulator 2 campaign. Yeah I guess you could say I'm a gamer.

The Best Bros (Mei Suruga and Baliyan Akki) are doing an American tour this December and they're looking for recommendations. So if anyone has any ideas, let them know. 🤼🏻‍♀️🇯🇵🍎♠️

Can't we take a page from the dark web and make a light web which is just forums, google reader, blogs, vine, livejournal, web toons and no nazis.

Here come the algorithms to fuck things up.

Really enjoying my games of Dewan on BGA (still in alpha). It's got the ideal turn weight and game state complexity for an asynchronous game for me.

Citizen Sleeper 1 & 2 are on sale on Steam. These are two great science-fiction RPGS. The second one came out so early in the year that it's missed out on the game-of-the-year discourse but it should be in the conversation. store.steampowered.com/curator/3302...

Waiting for some intrepid right-wing sleuth to uncover footage of Zohran calling the monster Frankenstein

Got one of the wolf pixels! www.alveussanctuary.org/institute/pi...

Pssst @beardedrogue.bsky.social

Lots of really big crowdfunding campaigns and preorders launching today. Here's to tossing in my little project! You can find RITE: A Midwinter Sacrament #TTRPG #zine below. You can grab it for $7 and receive it before the bleak midwinter. 7 day campaign. Thanks for sharing.

Jeepers, Lacuna is now in the same catalog as not only Magical Athlete but also No Thanks, my favourite card game?!

Could someone please option Lacuna for a blockbuster movie about pond flowers, I'm so tired of office politics.

If those orphans didn’t want to be crushed they should’ve just opted out of the Orphan Crusher program.

I now have a full mini-album of #ChocoPro chekis and it's probably my most-prized possession

Do you think Naomi Klein looks at Ezra Klein and thinks "Oh no... not again"?

Still from the Wolverine game trailer

Hello? … Anybody? … I think I took a wrong turn somewhere #rapture

“The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: Inviting me, Gavin Newsom, onto right-wing podcasts to attack trans people.”

Who's the dude that keeps complaining to Apple that his iPhone isn't thin enough?

Just realized that Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter are two different people

I feel like I'm about a 6/10 at game design and a 1/10 at communicating with publishers to sell those designs.

Finished Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream. Another great video game this year from a small studio, this time an isometric stealth game with the feel of a puzzle game and great characters.

Completely arbitrary milepost but Lacuna passed 10k registered plays on BGG! 🥳 That just feels surreal to me.

This part of the Harry Potter Codenames debacle seems to have mostly flown underneath the radar of the Anglophone boardgame world, probably because the localised version is not (yet) listed on BGG. As far as I can tell IELLO still hasn't commented. ludovox.fr/produire-ven...

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

Devir Games is recalling all copies of its new release Ace of Spades after being called out for using racist and culturally insensitive artwork in the game, describing it as “a serious mistake that we recognize and deeply regret”: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Living here, I can attest that Europe isn't locked in some kind of isolated pocket dimension, we have the same internet as everyone else. The grace period for Europeans treating indigenous peoples like they're from a fucking Tolkien book has long expired.
