My Favorite Mechanism! 🥹 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🟰🏆 youtu.be/KrlaUFpTIgM

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees Can't understand why they're stinging me But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need youtube.com/watch?v=qCGT...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Spent a bit of the weekend picking up where I left off: -Removed a few of the just plain absurd (inhuman) jobs and reprinted the entire deck in a larger, slightly more legible font -Added a new deck of challenges as an option -Quality of life improvement: big number cards

God this regime is vile. There really should be top-down prosecutions for this, but we’re not really a ‘demand consequences for administrative evil’ kind of country.

Game designers who "can't draw" but want art for prototypes... beyond the wealth of public domain stuff available (there's lots) there are artists who make stuff that's VERY affordable and Itch has a ton on sale right now. #NoGenAI itch.io/game-assets/...

A thought I’ve had for some time now: Airlines should make checked baggage free and only charge extra for use of the overhead compartments. Getting on and off the plane would be so much faster. youtu.be/oAHbLRjF0vo?...

Just noticing a certain Elizabeth Theranos Holmes hasn’t been pardoned yet and I have to assume that’s simply an oversight. (Making an absolute mockery of our laws seems like priority #1 so start a countdown.)

I was really inspired by seeing all the experimental, short run games at the PAX Unplugged Indie Games Night Market. So now I’m working on my own (probably unviable) concept: So… Who wants to talk about 🤖✨ ROBOTS ✨🦾 ?

Once again hoping for the TMNT game so good I can stop feeling like I have to make one for myself. [A feeling I’ve had for 30 years] My first (and extremely numerous) game designs were *all TMNT* and only my poor brothers were forced to play them.

Better picture of the haul now that everything has made it home from PAX.

Currently cataloging an advance copy of Jingle Bell Roll for the Spielbound Library. Always an honor to add a local design to the collection. 😜 (Note: @annlee14.bsky.social retains the Spielmasons Belt until we have copies for sale.)

Here’s my invite to play some new stuff. (I may have overdone it at the indie night games market.) www.newmillindustries.com/ignm #paxhaul

Guess I won’t be meeting Ify Nwadiwe today

Incredible game changer cosplay idea and commitment to the bit at #paxunplugged (@dropout.tv)

Tabletop Simulator catches some *totally undeserved* strays in our talk about conventions. thegamedesignroundtable.com/episode/btc-...

Still looking for a roommate for Thursday to Sunday. Getting increasingly urgent about it. 😅

I’m (hopefully still) going to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia next week, but my hotel reservation was through Sonder. I no longer have a place to stay and prices are absolutely ridiculous now. www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/b...

I LOVE this: "There exists a paradox in game design. You are simultaneously the most knowledgeable and least knowledgeable person about your game..." 🎲✂️(1/4)

Christmas is my favorite holiday and my friends have come up with something spectacular. I love this idea so much I’ll have to put up a full-size tree to present them all properly. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind...

It’s always fun (and just a bit weird) when something I designed at my kitchen table gets explained in a language I do not speak to people I will never meet. I love that my games get to travel so far. youtu.be/gv9U15WlCHw?...

Ready for the trick-or-treaters. This year’s movie can only be K-Pop Demon Hunters (and of course full size candy bars if you brave the chilly weather).

It’s hard to pick the worst person in the trump regime, but a here’s a strong new-to-me contender. 😵‍💫

AWS and Azure are both down?? Are we under cyberattack?

I… okay. www.withings.com/us/en/u-scan...

That was EIGHTEEN innings so that counts as two wins. I don’t make the rules.

Freddie. Freeman. Again.

Time to send a hostage negotiator into the ballpark.

Sixteen innings is a lot of baseball. 🫩

Completely forgot this feature existed and I’ve just got this stuff sitting around: I turned my *iPod HiFi* (ca. 2007) into an AirPlay speaker target. youtu.be/cRKUM3tTeSY?...

🦹‍♀️ This looks so fun! 🥌 All my curling friends are gonna go nuts for it.

Let’s talk about AI art. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

The weather hasn’t even turned yet, but I swear I hear Mariah Carey warming up. www.instagram.com/p/DPZpKKLDlM...

this is a GOOD speech

Not gonna lie: whoever that is is absolutely killing it and I’m grateful.

I’m not getting one, but I have to respect the engineering. The iPhone air is 5.6mm thick My *iPod touch* is 6.4mm 😵‍💫

Happy ✨ Star Trek Day 🖖🏾 to specifically ME apparently.

I currently have an entire theater to myself for TMNT 35th Anniversary.

🙋🏾‍♂️ Class of ’03, where do I sign my name?

Good lord these people suck.

Since when did Jimmy John’s start toasting their sandwiches?? (I’ve been in a nutritional keto cave for more than a year).

The very specific type blocks I acquired to remind me not to get into letterpress may have come from a place of flawed logic.

Still amazed that LLMs have managed to make computers bad at math, the thing we made computers to do.

Did a game jam last week and… kinda let my rage take over. It’s more critique than product, but it might actually be fun? marcusross.itch.io/billionaire-...

Well it’s been fun. I’m needed back home.

Sooooo… should I pitch a game show to Netflix? 😜 deadline.com/2025/07/mono...

This is also what transformed the US from a state willing to found and fund programs to aid its citizens to one trying to convince the populace that they should ask for and expect nothing from government. Land giveaways, grants, etc. Can no longer legally be White Only, so now no one gets anything.

This was the most absurd, unhinged premise for a show I’ve ever seen and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder or longer. Watch this one immediately.
