First play and first win of the Into the Void - Final Girl feature film with Ellen killing the youngling evomorph with a Critical Blow! #BoardGames

A reminder that there's some awfully coincidental timing between Discord's age verification rollout in March juuust around the suspected* time of their supposed IPO (filed in January)... (* Analysts guessed it would come in March when they filed)

Introducing Thunder Road: Ignition — a brand-new standalone game joining the Thunder Road line. Smaller box. Lower price. Missile-loaded cars. And yes — it’s compatible with Thunder Road: Vendetta. Sign up to be notified when it releases at restoration.games/Ignition

Anyone have any experience with the game TrickTakers? thinking about grabbing it from PGC. #BoardGames

RIP

Yeah, that's not oddly conspicuous timing of the lowest polling numbers of the entire time they were tracked hitting a month or so before pulling out of that kind of polling.

Centrists

First they removed the "T" and trans pride flags from Stonewall, now they're removing pride flags altogether. This is how they do it, by the way. If you think the Project 2025 crowd is going to go solely after trans people and leave the rest of queer folk alone, you're delusional.

Look who has jumped on the worst bandwagon 😡

So you can actually sign into your Bluesky account with the blacksky.community web app and set this field on your profile as well !

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

this is literally going to strongarm every queer user into giving info after they declared every single lgbtq+ server to be "adult servers" years ago. so now it's literally give us your info or lose access to your communities and resources. fuck you discord.

I hired an engineer last year who snickered when I told him the atproto community uses discord instead of having built a discord alternative.

Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared. 1) Document: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8ovt... 2) Video: youtu.be/fHXGWflPj4c 1/2

And so where are we going for the Discord replacement because FUCK this shit.

If ai is so good why did it need so many ads begging for us to use it??

Every Super Bowl ad was just “HEY REMEMBER THIS SHIT? HUH? YOU REMEMBER THE POP CULTURE YOU CONSUMED THAT ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN NOT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKED. REMEMBER THAT?? brought to you by a company causing your electric bill to increase 287%”

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer: 1) boasts about the poor place he’s from; 2) boosts the value of agriculture; 3) celebrates small town life; 4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and 5) promotes marriage. And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

All set up for some two player Orléans. This one is a favorite or my wife (yes, I enjoy it too)! She asked, so I took it out. Game on! #BoardGames

Played Street Masters with Bruce against the All-Heaven Gang on the Sky High board twice and couldn't get it done. Bruce keeps getting blown off the side of the building from the high winds! #BoardGames

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Plans set to go to my first @g2summit.bsky.social next month! Who else will I see/meet there? (Quite lucky to be travelling with @tiffanyleigh.bsky.social !)

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Tonight's #BoardGames meetup turned into a @dvcgames.bsky.social night for me. Won all three games, two of Pacts and one of Karnak(which was the first time I've played either). Such different games, but both were great!

Adobe's commitment to AI has already burned so many artists' livelihoods. This is just pissing on the ashes.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

January was a solid month of gaming for me, fairly well split between IRL (1st pic) and online (2nd pic) plays. There are several games I want to repeat in February, along with a bunch of new ones to try! #BoardGames #BGStats

“Unbiased” board game reviews are the last ones to be trusted. Everyone has biases. Far more trustworthy are reviews that acknowledge their influence and bias. It indicates a level of awareness, honesty, and ability to contextualize that hints at more thoughtful and meaningful analysis and review.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

The actor was best known for playing Lamont Sanford, opposite Redd Foxx's Fred Sanford in the hit 1970s sitcom. Wilson died Friday from complications related to cancer, his publicist said. n.pr/46f3iax

The full run of SCTV for free. God bless and keep the Internet Archive.

Alarmed yet?

Oh. Oh that's not good. That's like soooooo not good. That's like THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY because that's gonna tank the markets Monday morning and not Friday night so there's time to prepare kinda bad.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

A much better explanation of the Luigi Mangione “dismissal” The Reuters headline made it sound like the entire case was dismissed against him. Disgusting journalism and this is wayyyyyy more accurate than anything @reuters.com insinuates.

A New York federal judge dismissed murder and weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, a major blow to prosecutors that means Mangione no longer faces a possible death penalty if convicted reut.rs/45Fin56

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

When the Trump administration leans even harder on bsky to suppress free speech and more people close to you are suspended not just on bsky but all of the "Atmosphere" apps that rely on Bluesky to work, maybe we'll get the respect we deserve.

Y'all do realize ICE "backing down" means they're just gonna stick to terrorizin' minorities, right?
