Can we talk about how companies are now actively making it harder to give them money? Whose clownshow of a business decision resulted in this nonsense? Let me just buy gifts for my friends abroad! I'll pay extra, I literally do not care, Steam!

pretty sure the french revolution was totally bloodless and the reign of terror was called that as like. a joke

If you ever run into a game that very clearly uses LLMs on @boardgamegeek.com, the best way to combat it is to tag it under “Family” as “AI Generated Illustration” It would be great if we had a category for generalized LLM usage—but at the least we can kick all of the garbage to the same space. 🎲✂️

In a case of "In order to make an apple pie from scratch", you sometimes you just have to make little guys in order to test out your board game idea.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Here's a video that I think we can all agree, says nothing controversial.

Gencon 2025 was a blast! I didn't get too much time on the show-floor, but I got to see a couple of games, most made or recommended by friends and acquaintances who were a delight to meet.

Been playing through the Bioshock games with my SO, and we just got to Infinite's Killworker moment. Good god, it didn't just age like fine milk, this was bad even back in 2013.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Could someone in the US just roll into a gov agency with a small army of 20 year old nerds with laptops and start taking over the place? Tell them you’re with DOGE and start deleting ppls student and medical debts. Seems foolproof tbh

i love squid transgenderism and phantom opera types

Bernie Sanders posts an 8-min video that explains what’s happening, steps for short term strategies, and steps for longer term stuff. One example: he reminds folks the GOP has four vote majority. They are weak. He suggests calling your reps. Be mad It works. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YLQGLu/

art v artist 2024

Been reading Lindsay Ellis's sci-fi romp Axiom's End. First book and a quarter has been quite fun, as evidenced by my attempt to doodle one of the smaller lads from the prominent alien species, Amygdelines. Times like these I wish Bsky had a ||spoiler|| feature so I could say more without worry! 😅

in case anyone has the same reaction as me: definitely will check out

Man. Lower Decks was real Star Trek. Should have gotten two more seasons. Hats off to all involved. 9/10

A tale as old as time in 🎲✂️ Game Design - I tried to create, test and perfect a swashbuckling game for Galen's Games' tin-box submission (deadline: right the hell now), but work got in the way. 😞 It's a shame, but at least I had a blast. Projects like these are a great way to keep sharp.

Sometimes I get a little tired of making lemonade.

Some ✨️Edgy✨️ Christmas lads, serving double duty as both Friday the 13th tattoo flash for December, and potential portfolio additions, as an illo agent recently suggested I add some black and grey spot examples.

Alright, that's all she wrote for #NaGaDeMon and #Solovember in terms of development this year, I think. I'm hoping some folks will try to playtest my janky little pre-alpha demo (accessible via deloctyte.itch.io/wrought-iron...), with the understanding that I still have a LOT of work to do!

Saw Smile 2. A pleasant upgrade from the milquetoast predecessor. The ending was a smidge unfocused but a fun ride from beginning to end. 6/10

It's roughly halfway through the month and I've been making progress on the alpha version of my #NaGaDeMon / #solovember project Wrought-Iron Hearts! There's rough demo over at the NaGaDeMon discord. I know I have a LONG way to go before it's done, but working on this has been exhilarating!

🎲✂️ Pitching opportunity: my friend Galen is seeking mint tin game submissions by 12/10. Check the instructions here - www.galensgames.com/submissions

Summoning the Great Wyrm

I love a good challenge, but having skipped this year's Inktober I needed some other project to dig into. So... Behold! My offering for both the game design non-competition #NaGaDeMon and the month of #solovember is the project "Wrought-Iron Hearts", a solo rpg taking you to hell with a holy mech!

🎲✂️ Hello everyone, I’m Deloctyte, a game designer, currently employed over at one of the more prominent “indie” board game companies! 👋 I want to engage more with board game content, and I’m told talking about things is the way to make them appear on your feed. So here’s a thread!

Welcome to BSky, tabletop designers! There's no algorithm here, so everything you say goes to everyone who follows you. That can be a lot. I deal with that muchness by subscribing to a curated feed. Here's one I recommend that uses "🎲✂️" to mark tabletop design posts: bsky.app/profile/did:...

just rewatched hellsing ova again and i can't even pretend it's not good anymore. it's excellent. not ironically. let queer people killing Nazis and each other in funny ways into your heart

Doodlings of the Shrike, also known as the Lord of Pain, Avatar, Angel of Final Atonement, Angel of Retribution or Angel of Retribution from Beyond Time from the #HyperionCantos . If you like sci-fi, you owe it to yourself to read these books. (Shame about the author, but what can you do)
