Oo I just had a fun idea! I'm going to post a picture of a flower around my house every day for the next 20 days until the campaign starts. Here's a picture of a beautiful Clematis the other day.

And that was a wrap! See ya next time loves 😘

Thanks everyone that came to my Amazon talk! And for all the fantastic questions!!

K so I'd forgotten I hate making slide decks. If I just screenshot my Amazon Seller Central a bunch and slap them in a deck, will that work for my Monday presentation? Lol

In the two weeks from Feb 9th to Feb 23rd, Amazon "liquidated" 24 units of Sky Team. They gave us an average of $1.65 per unit, after charging us for the courtesy of disposing this product. This product that they had to liquidate because they damaged it 😮‍💨 On Monday at GAMA I'm going to dive deeper

Ah! MONDAY IS MY TALK! Sorry!!

Oh hey it's still shit.

That's only for vendor central and no longer a thing with brand registrations - which can be a huge issue if you aren't maintaining your brand right! Someone can literally steal your brand! Publishers, seriously, come and take notes and I will save you days of struggles. Weeks. Months!

Oh hey so Tuesday 10am March 3rd at GAMA I'm doing a seminar on how much money we made selling Sky Team on Amazon and I'm gonna go over tips and tricks and a bunch of stuff about selling (and buying) on Amazon. The TLDR is that Amazon sucks and Prime is a lie.

The more AI gets to dilute games' main appeal, the less viable it becomes as product. The worse they sell, the less they're put in front of people. Which eventually results in specialized games for a specialized market at boutique prices. Turning games into a cultural practice for the select few.

They're making me play Decrypto in French. This isn't going to go great, ya all.

I'm in Montreal this week for meetings and it always surprises me that the customs agents always know Randolph Game Pubs. They're a staple in Montreal culture and like no one in the US knows them.

Sup. I gave up social media for a bit and TBH it was the best, but I definitely lost touch with friends. So now that convention season is rolling up, I'm on again for a bit. With NYTF done, my next show is GAMA Expo! The @hachettebgusa.bsky.social crew and I will be showing off our '26 releases.

Take it from the citizens of DC. This is all a distraction, and another power grab that threatens the health of our democracy. op: @washingtonpost.com

If your kids are young enough you can convince them virtually any N*SYNC song is a new Saja Boys release. It helps if you say stuff like “this is Abby” during solo parts.

Both Solstis and Seaside made Actualol's top 10 Travel Games list! "Seaside is bright, breezy and a lovely way to spend the day." And Solstis is "The perfect game to play with your partner." What is YOUR favorite travel game? youtu.be/zyBOpIt-2Nk?...

Honestly, right now I think it's a bad time to be a dinosaur

Bless Steve. I ordered a new oven and microwave and it was accidentally delivered while I was at Gen Con. Without install, because I thought I'd be home and helping.

So Gwent fans informed us Roach, the horse, is canonically a she/her and girl. The horse we sourced had clear male genitalia. So we started thanking the fans and explaining she's trans. Sunday, we were able to make it clear with a saddle "blanket" I borrowed. Did anyone manage to snag a photo?

If you have coins to spare and enjoyed a convention cookie, here is a page where you can learn about me, save the recipe, and donate to the cookie fund. I’ll be donating a portion to the Kentucky Humane Society in Artoo’s honor because he was part of this community, too. msha.ke/alonechark

My favorite picture from this weekend's Gen Con.

Has anyone seen my horse..?

Control, we're go for launch on #GenCon2025.

Ahjhhhhhhhhhhh

We're painting a horse.

So like, yeah, CGE sucks now for doing this. It feels hurtful. And when there's a pile-on - it's easy to contribute. But there's a whole list of these publishers. Don't just rage where it feels convenient. Learn more about the people behind the games.

Facts

Tried to do one of those cute harvest pictures but it turns out my garden says no. Only potato.

Walking Pneumonia is still kicking my ass but I had enough energy to kick Steve's ass at Architects of Amytis so there's that

The nomination for Kenner this year made Endeavor a clear win. Congrats to the Burnt Island and KTBG team!!

Walking Pneumonia was not on my pre-Gen Con checklist.

New covers who dis? Also, Made in the US.

If you haven’t read the book, do not watch the Project Hail Mary trailer. Please. Just go watch it in theatres without any prior knowledge.

Playing a Gen Con release to finish my workday because this is technically work.

I skipped Origins this year cause I've got a great team to run it for me. I missed hanging with folks! It looks like it was a fun time 😁

Steve's sick again but it's okay because he's on an intense anime-botics treatment regimen. He's watching Gundam. All the Gundam he can find.

You know, you get older but the anime characters stay the same age.

After working in Photoshop for 29 years & coloring over 20,000 comics pages in PS, I switched to Clip Studio Paint on June 22nd, 2024. Since then, I've colored 685 pages in CSP (attached) & I'm happy to report it's a superior app. Make the switch. Ditch Adobe. #comics #colors #ClipStudioPaint

Panda manufacturing offers $25k in manufacturing for 25 folk with 2 or fewer published titles. I haven't looked deeply into this, but I can imagine it being helpful for some of my friends here. may be helpful or not pandagm.com/25-in-25/ 🎲✂️

"It's Depression" but to the tune of "Under Pressure"

I rated 3 books as 5 stars in May and I forgot to share them. A Gentleman in Moscow was long but delightful and made me add to my read list. Recursion I read in a single day, I could not put it down. Cats Cradle was.. so surreally perfect in how well it's aged.

I am at the stage where I'm reading about 200-300 pages a day to avoid social media and the news cycle click baits and it's still somehow not enough for my brain

Still trying to make fetch happen.

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

Just accidentally said "Gnomace" instead of "Bromance" and now I'm in a completely different movie mood.

What can you do? REACH OUT TO YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they're members of Senate Finance, House Ways and Means, or either Small Business committee, this is extra important. Letters are good; if you are a business and can talk to their staff who work on trade/small biz, even better. 10/🧵
