This incredible video by @amabel.bsky.social has only been watched 5000 times which is a shame! Not only is it a wonderful look into the game/toy industry that Amabel did a lot of research for, @nopunincluded.com also did a voice over that made me laugh very loudly. youtu.be/dTepZ7qM24Q?...

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here is an oldie as a reminder to how much love there is in our community! youtu.be/O-o1knHftuc?...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Sometimes life isn’t fair.

World of Warcraft: The Board Game 2006, playing with my family.

@rf-seattle.bsky.social and @flatoutgames.bsky.social did an amazing job with Cascadia: Rolling Hills! Finally got to play it today and am already itching to play again.

can society finally retire the age-old 'women are more emotional and unstable' bullshit? in the past few years that lie has been well and truly shattered

Decided to do Couch to 40k. Day 1 you buy a soucebook, and then within a couple of months you're deeply in debt and have several hundred unpainted little shooty mans.

I made a trailer for The Nutty Professor using the audio from the trailer for The Substance.

Hey men, stop stealing all the pockets! Omg, like, let us have a couple.

Sometimes I just randomly think about how much I LOATHE Victor Frankenstein he fucking sucks

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am.

Do you have what it takes to win big on America's hottest new game show? All you have to do is guess the name of a celebrity with no context before the timer runs out. There's just one catch: the host is your girlfriend! Tonight on "Who's That Actor I Like? You Know, The One From That Movie..."

A girl gets to a certain age where she realizes dragons are far more fun. I’m that age.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

I could use some help spreading the word about my Etsy shop. These are all handmade creatures designed and hand-sewed by me. They each take many hours to make. A sale or two would be a colossal help. jeremycreature.etsy.com

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

It’s okay if all you did in 2024 is survive.

Clio has found herself such a fitting place that I can’t make only one joke! Animal Upon Animal: she took the game too literally boop the Halls: she’s dating someone to boop her off #boardgames

2024 stats! That big jump last January was OrcaCon.

Current board game controversy is basically people arguing that if X inspired Y, then Y should pay X money and, my dudes, if that were true - I would have to pay too. But I aint paying SUSD a cent.

November stats: 42 plays of 18 games. Here’s my most played of the month

This is actually Mr. Games, the alter ego of the raccoon when he’s in his human disguise.

If you look closely, you can see the haunted eyes of a raccoon behind the human mask.

This is the original before editing, if that makes you feel better.

Wow, his face looks exactly like I imagined

Just had an absolutely amazing vacation with @eizebasa.bsky.social this last week. I got to see dolphins swim close to shore!! And play lots of games, binge a show, play tourist, and in general have the best time with the best friend a person could have.

I’m sorry to say that, at the door of Mordor, Frodo and Sam failed. The bright side? I really like this take of 7 Wonders Duel!

World of Warcraft: The Board Game 2006, playing with my family.

“I don’t see what the big deal is.” Allowed myself to be taken to Target despite clearly explaining to my girlfriend that I was wearing not one but two different pieces of clothing I bought AT Target. Mortified. 🫤

I always have at least one game on my person. Cold weather means more capacity. Thanks to @peacelovegames.bsky.social for the tip about Odin, a tiny gem for my coat pocket!

The best kind of friends know how to keep you in check.

This is such a fun way to use the starter packs!

Sorry! was the game I played with my dad when growing up, so of course I played I had kids. We always put bread tags on the pawns to make them super pawns. We haven’t played in a decade, but I still have these guys on display because they make me smile. Did your family have silly game traditions?

Maybe if I follow the @eizebasa.bsky.social method of social media and repost all my tweets here, I won’t feel bad when I delete them.

Here is a starter pack of excellent black TTRPG designers to follow! Still working on the list, and some folks i want to include i can't find on bsky atm. Let me know who I am missing! go.bsky.app/TSmxwUa

BlueSky is suddenly full of board game people! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments of this thread - let's tell people - what we do in the tabletop industry - a game we really like - an unrelated thing that makes us happy

You should follow me if: you enjoy shenanigans and dismantling the patriarchy You should share this post if you want to help me find other shenaniganers and patriarchy dismantlers. As your reward: here’s a video of me and my nephew shenaniganing on FaceTime (no audio & cropped to hide his face).

BGA has been my primary gaming outlet through the pandemic and cancer treatment, and also the primary way I learn about games these days. Teaching the kids Odin today, my newest BGA find.

When talking about why board gamers should care about politics, I always start with trade policy given how reliant the industry is on importing from China. Also, you should care about politics now because people you know will needlessly suffer, and you can help them. www.polygon.com/news/477917/...
