crossword team, now's your chance

Whew, I am so glad I did not jump into the Robot Quest Arena expansion crowdfunding like I wanted to because... :gestures:

Sorry but I don't actively use Twitter so posting here. While now deleted, there were dozens of posts like this interspersed between @beziergames.bsky.social #BoardGame related posts. Can you confirm that the posts made by Ted's account were not by him and do not reflect Bezier's values?

Finally got to play Anno 1800 (with the expansion) today. Wow, what an excellent game. Definitely another one I need to get (back, since i had it before and traded it.) #BoardGames

Played Speakeasy for the first time today. Lost, but I really enjoyed it. Might to try and get a hold of this for myself. #BoardGames

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this. Stay safe!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion

Events in and around Pax 2018 got me into trying board games while I was an enthusiastic MTG player. Now, so many years later, I think its time I sold my last few CMDR decks. I don't play the game anymore... And I could use the quiver for some other card games lol

I need to try this out before it becomes available. I've heard such good things, need to experience it to see what's what.

@honeybeast.bsky.social I saw your comment on @stonemaiergames.com YT live stream.. are you going to PaxU?

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I love getting a dick in a box for the holidays

Picard: there ARE FOUR GUYS! FOUR

Anyone with good Recommendations?

October was a quieter month of gaming with just 31 IRL plays. Still, I had a decent variety so I can't complain much. My biggest letdown is no spooky or scary themed-games hit the table for the season. #BoardGames #BGStats

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

We finally know what Canva are doing to the beloved Affinity suite or applications and... It's good news. Maybe GREAT news? They are now all merged into Affinity Studio and... completely free! gamefromscratch.com/all-affinity... #gamedev #indiedev

Finished up this morning and won 164 - 128. Excellent game, made a few minor errors but did so for myself and the bot, so it balanced out. Really want to play this with others, it's so good!

“Welcome to the confederate broadcasting system”

Got Shackleton Base all set up (solo) for my first game. Just watching a playthrough to get a feel for the flow before I get started. #BoardGames

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

I think I can live with it.

Y’all, I just realized that this is Sports Chat Chuck. I am such an idiot for not picking it up sooner. He’s a mega creep from Twitter who used to hit on underage girls and eventually got busted with a prostitute next to little league fields. Just blocked him and you should too!!

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor. They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

A school called Alpha that relies on AI to teach its students is also surveilling them at home, videotaping young girls in their bedrooms. This is some seriously sick shit. www.wired.com/story/ai-tea...

I think what would be interesting about a Borg vs Dominion scenario is that it, ultimately, wouldn’t happen. They’d just ignore each other and bizarrely, co-exist.

3-Day badges are SOLD OUT 😱 But don’t worry, adventurer — you can still grab Single-Day badges and join the #PAXUnplugged 2025 fun! ⚔️ Head to PAXun25.com/Badges

obviously the piss is the headliner here, but the ice agent also appears to be wearing groucho glasses

Redditor asks how things are looking at strip clubs, a known indicator of economic downturn. The answers are pretty bleak (albeit not all responses are from strippers) www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event. And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

Getting ready to record a video for @abusiaradio.bsky.social about my former DJ life. Feels weird to have an old friend ask and talk about me. Should be quite interesting, I hope I live up to their hype!

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Anyone know of any new(ish) games that will be available at PaxU? I need to start making a plan 😁

Hopefully I can go to Essen Spiel one year. In the meantime, I can be happy that Pax Unplugged is soon here! #BoardGames

C'MON has sold off Cthulhu Death May Die. To Asmodee #BoardGames gamefound.com/projects/cmo...

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

We were pleased to hear that @cmyk.games will include the designer on their packaging in the future. Their box artwork, while striking, was ultimately a disappointment for hiding the contribution of the designer and other creatives that worked on the game. Thanks to all that voiced your concern.

If the government wanted to spy on Bluesky users they wouldn't need official accounts to do that, those are only here to get people in trouble for posting dumb shit at them

I know some folks are block list averse, but this list pre-nuked for me all those new trashbag dot gov accounts that spun up on bsky if you're looking for pro-active moderation bsky.app/profile/did:...
