Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released. Happy Birthday, little guy! 🎂

Today's Minute Cryptic was wild to see, but a fun solve. "12 - 55 + n = 9 - 12" (5) www.minutecryptic.com

Counting down the hours until the better half of the year begins. 🍁🍂

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

I donated another 88 board games from my collection to Goodwill. I'm not an elitist when it comes to games—the games you enjoy are the best games. But I do wonder what it's like at our Goodwill: three copies of Sorry!, an UNO, and a Fields of Arle with a custom wooden insert for all the components.

And they call the bag Maria. Is that anything? Smothers Brothers? Paint Your Wagon? You know? Maybe? It's almost a joke, I've got to imagine. You just have to be the age that my soul is, perhaps.

Last night, I played "Daybreak" by @mattleacock.bsky.social and @baddeo.bsky.social (from @cmyk.games). Had a great time, and won! (…if you're willing to take back one single move that, in retrospect, was a bad idea. 😄)

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

We've got five all-new games coming to the Jackbox Party Pack 11! Get ready to play on October 23rd! 😏 https://youtu.be/a8IwlJvXhgk

Hello once again I come to you bearing a #gamedev job, Jackbox is hiring a gameplay engineer! Is that you or someone you know? Check it out! Me, chanting: code code code code You, chanting: job job job job apply.workable.com/jackbox-game...

First *and* last name? You're not my mother, Vanguard.

We just got our COVID/flu shots, and I spent the whole time wishing the pharmacist had a little table. He had so much stuff, and he had to balance it all on each other on top of a little plastic set of drawers. He was pretty good at it, which suggests he's been without a little table for a while.

I've reached credits in Silksong for the first time after about 30 hours. Fantastic game. Well worth the wait and then some. But if this is anything like Hollow Knight, emphasis on "for the first time". 😄

Last night, we went to the drive-in to see "Toy Story". I bought *way* too much popcorn. (Ref: third bucket of popcorn not pictured here) It's been a while since we've been to the drive-in, and I figured having an EV would make it an even better experience. I was right! (Also, Mabel missed us.) 🍿

Wow this scene is so suspenseful! When will something happen? Ok maybe too suspenseful? Oh I sat on the remote and paused it and I’ve been watching a still frame for two straight minutes.

There's a track in the Silksong soundtrack that reminds me of Tomohito Nishiura's work. And every time I'm in that area, it makes me yearn for some more Professor Layton. Surely we'll hear something soon, right? Even if it's not coming out any time soon. 😄

"This tech isn't going away!" "This is inevitable!" "Adapt or get left in the dust!" are all things we're being told by the same people who were telling us you're going to need a blockchain dingus to unlock your front door two years ago.

I found this very nice Bicycle-branded hanafuda fusion deck of cards, designed by Juniardi Satyanagara. Lovely artwork and great-quality cards (as always from USPCC).

Aw man, no, RIP Maru the cat. That little man brought so much joy to my life for years and years. ❤️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maru_(c...

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games. A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for the soundtrack release just as much as the game. (Waiting until tomorrow to buy it, though, because it’ll be Bandcamp Friday. …and it’s not like I can listen to any of it yet anyway. 😄)

Shaw!

Team Cherry should be very proud. For the game itself, sure. But I meant how they seem to have brought down every game storefront all at once. I can't remember another game doing that in recent history.

The hunt is on! Hollow Knight: Silksong is available now on all platforms, including day one on Xbox Game Pass!

I think it would be nice if we could all be normal about Silksong, because some of the discourse is getting silly

Everyone stop: kitten tree.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

I tend to avoid American-grid crosswords. But AVCX is one of my exceptions. Their puzzles are consistently fun to solve, and I look forward to each and every one. And! They do a bi-weekly cryptic that always puts a smile on my face. If you’re *at all* interested in crosswords, check them out.

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Yesterday, I played Windmill Valley, Wandering Towers, and Can't Stop. I wish I'd realized earlier the "W" theme I had going on. Would Sid Sackson mind if we changed it to "Won't Stop"? #boardGames

More #vinyl arrives. I realized I've been a little behind on the Roxette 30th anniversary releases. "Fireworks" came on during a recent shuffle playlist, and I thought "Wait, wasn't 'Crash! Boom! Bang!' released in '94? Did it get a new pressing?" It did. And here it is. 😄

I just wanted to see how bad it really was. perfect, adobe. no notes. great tech.

Adventures in Our House, Volume 47: I needed a plumb bob, but I do not own a plumb bob. I do, however, own twine and a little car shaped like Toad from the Super Mario series. And thus: I did procure a plumb bob.

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

This week was a busy one, board game–wise. I played Finspan, Four-Corner Detective, Wilmot's Warehouse, Tiny Fluxx, and Dark Stories (not pictured). #boardGames

My family has a thing where we make each other increasingly over-the-top themed birthday cakes, and my mom and sister really pulled out the stops this year.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

It’s International Crokinole Day! So we had to pull out the board for a game or two. 🟢🔴 🕳️

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

The countdown is on! Join us in 48 hours for a special announcement about Hollow Knight: Silksong! Premiering here: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

We did it! 🎉 All 24,976,511 solvable 5x5 nonograms completed in 80 days by over 200k players. Thank you everyone who participated! Hope it was fun.

I'm immensely grateful to the people who work under arduous conditions to deliver me things from various stores and businesses. Truly, thank you. But please: Don't put the items in front of the door. I'm inside. I need to be able to open the door to get the things. Our porch has plenty of space.

I love when two interests of mine collide unexpectedly. …and even more so when I placed an order for such an item months ago and almost forgot about it. Yesterday, I got my copy of Holo's Hanafuda for the Switch. It's incredibly well-made, both the physical item and the game. 🎴 #hololive #hanafuda

Ah, yes. If you enjoyed that last Rod Stewart number, might I suggest: Toto, Genesis, or perhaps the Flashbeagle soundtrack?
