I love this with my whole heart 💖

It's really hard to be a kid in the 21st century

Happy Towel Day to all hoopy froods!

I find it very funny that some people are talking about Terry Pratchett being forgotten on this, the glorious 25th of May. Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably priced love! And a hard boiled egg! #gnuterrypratchett

I enjoy thinking too much to ask some code to pretend to do it for me.

My kiddo is replaying The Longing and I forgot how much I love it.

This is not an impressive photo compared to how much wicked joy @tenpenjenn.com gave us with her Descended from the Queen game DEAD AFTER DINNER — it’s the second of her games that my Game Tasters agreed they’d like to play again. www.drivethrucards.com/fr/product/4...

Last 4 ttrpgs played: Brave the Dreamer Wanderhome Big Dead Alien Spaceship Desperation (playtest) Triangle Agency

Very good game with a very good soundtrack! m.youtube.com/watch?v=nLa3...

Simulation sickness has stopped me from finishing many games, so this is fucking rad

Whoa, Pale Dot got nominated for an Indie Groundbreaker Award for "Best Rules"! www.igdnonline.com/groundbreakers Thanks to @sifsweetman.bsky.social for the amazing cover art, @tenpenjenn.com for editing, and @plusoneexp.bsky.social for helping me get the Kickstarter off the ground last year!

My community college 200-level History of Art in Architecture class does not require this level of critical thinking, but where else am I going to put this hot take?!? I hope the instructor actually reads this one:

If I was going to use AI to write my stupid class discussion posts (lol I would never), I would make sure the words I'm using aren't exactly the same as 3-5 other student's posts. Brought to you by "is a powerful example of how iron, steel and glass transformed architecture in the 19th century."

Ahhhh I wish I could watch this specific game!

She's done! I planned to put the red foil on a black background, but realized there wouldn't be enough contrast to read the title, so white it is. The foiling came out so good, I don't think I'll ever shut up about it! This is the first box I've designed from scratch and I learned a lot making it!

I would have thought "mantasy" meant fantasy books with non-toxic male characters and BOY was I wrong

"Then from the very first page you realize that the novel you are holding has nothing to do with the one you were reading yesterday." -Italo Calvino, If On a Winter's Night a Traveler This book is *such* a pleasure to read, not despite the obscured framing, but because of it. It's rewiring my brain

My response to my coworker telling me to smile, after he made an annoyingly unclear request: I don't know what to tell you, Dave, this is just what I look like.

I need help deciding on a cover for my rebox of For the Queen! This is what the box looks like so far:

If anybody knows where to find a copy of "Companion's Tale" by Laura Simpson, even in not perfect condition, I'd be very interested. If you know of stores who still have copies, please send me the link. I found the PDF version on @ipr.bsky.social but I would really love a physical copy. TIA!

I started reading If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino and it's such a pleasure to read that I know I'm going to have a less good time with whatever I read after it.

Watching the Artemis II launch and thinking about what humanity is capable of 💖

One of my favorite things about Terry Pratchett's books is that they can be read at any age, and you will see something different in them every time.

This is an odd book that I finished in 13 hours and will be thinking about for a long time! www.harpercollins.com/products/str...

If you are at PaxEast this weekend, @sidequestbooks.bsky.social has the last dozen print copies of my goose ttrpg where players who break the rules get honked at!

This morning I am listening to a single song on repeat (Au Pays du Cocaine by Geese) and repeating my mantra (after next month, I won't be so busy).

I've got no juice in the tank, but I'm really proud of the parenting I've been doing lately. It's hard to be a kid in general, much less in these Unprecedented Times. It's also hard to be learning how to regulate and feel my own emotions as my kid is looking to me to teach him.

Juliana Stratton!!! I woke up to more snow, but also the defeat of a crypto bro, and the snow will melt.

I can't make it this year, but chipped in anyway because GoPlay is a rad con with awesome attendees

You can't tell from the crowdfund page, but I'm writing an underground newspaper the government can't seem to get rid of (where is it printed? Nobody knows), a radical craft circle slash community aid org (inspired by Meg Baker), and some suspiciously well informed old ladies with unusual skills.

Second box of the year is complete! This was a kit I modified to add a hidden compartment and magnets to hold the spine closed. I also added book cloth on the corners of the covers, since I hadn't done that before. Next up is my first project I'm designing from scratch!

Backers commenting on a crowdfund with "has this started shipping yet" instead of simply reading the latest update that includes that info go on my List.

There is a lot of bad in the world these days, but sometimes I get to read sentences like this one by @jmstar.bsky.social and I am reminded that there are still good things in this world.

I'd been tempted to get the print edition since they announced it, but this finally got me.

This ep of Secrets of the Dead about Mary Stuart has me thinking about how to make a game with letterlocking (again lol). www.pbs.org/video/cracki... (PBS Passport is ~$60/year and very worth it, imho)

Pitch for a stretch goal is submitted! I've no idea if they'll like any of my ideas, but I had a fun time cooking 'em up!

Editing goal for this weekend was page 92, but I finished page 111 *and* I did my chapter test for architecture history class. Tomorrow I need to write a pitch for a stretch goal that I feel pretty shaky on, but hopefully I'll get some due date inspiration.

Is there a word for the reverse of innovation, like, the realization that this problem was solved with simpler tools, technology or materials, possibly a long time ago?

I finished playing Syberia: The World Before, and I think the puzzles and game play were kinda mid, but the story captivated me anyway! Wild to continue with a character I met 24 years ago!

It's very good! I got to playtest it with Misha B. last year!

Got through page 53 on editing tonight (goal was 46)!

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Oh dang, I could go to this!

My goose game is in this very good bundle supporting a very good cause! HONK

Tool box is done! I'm glad I ran out of the white paper, since the black & metallic print looks great on the covers!

This has been an absolute delight.
