If AI didn’t replace you, then you aren’t in a field that produces value. Being unemployable is the only true sign of a winner’s mindset. It took billions of 💵 and the brightest minds in the world to render *me* inert. #replacedByTheVeryBest #tooGreatToAffordFood #winnersNeverDont #linkedInPorn

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

My GenZ daughter is finding her love of #boardgames again while in college but on her own terms. It means sewing your own board, collecting found objects, and playing outside with friends. GenX approves!
I'm so stoked to announce my new line of tabletop shirts! There's a bunch of fun stuff in there, but the thing I'm most excited for is the collaboration with @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social! $5 from every pride shirt sold goes straight to them to help bring LGBT rep to the tabletop community! 🏳️🌈 💙

Yesterday, my five-year-old son walked toward the bathroom and I said, “I’ll give you some privacy, Buddy.” He spent the rest of the day following me around, demanding this “privacy” I promised to give him. He didn’t know what it was, but he knew I was withholding a precious object.
Today I discuss three paper games: one about origami, another with coins, and a third that's all about coloring by numbers. Read about them here: spacebiff.com/2026/07/24/o...

Paper! Despite the meddling of the internet, it’s still everywhere. There’s a good chance you have some in your very own home. In fact, it’s probably within arm’s reach righ…

I don't only post shit on the internet, sometimes I make games too! ...which I then post on the internet. Anyway! Here's a 🧵 about some games I've made. Most of these use standard components or are pnp, so you might already own them and not realize it!
If you find yourself at #GenCon, Evenglow will be available for sale at the Miniature Market booth! Booth 541! #boardgames
Hey, hey! If you find yourself at SPIEL Essen 2026, see if you can find Evenglow! Send pics! Send pics! #boardgames
Doin' stuff. This was supposed to be an early board game prototype, but it AIN'T workin' out. I find it very aesthetically pleasing, though. I might enter it into the county fair instead.
Blocktower had its first public playtest this past weekend. The block matching placement on the tower is easily the fun part. Now I need to make selection mechanism and scoring just as exciting. 🎲✂️
Played a couple of solo games of Evenglow, then a couple multiplayer.l games. But not with Steven Flow or FloJo while listening to "Evenflow". Bad jokes aside, a great tile puzzler from @theop.games in the vein of Calico, Cascadia, Harmonies, et Al. Also a fan of the foam board tiles.

In the end, this is basically how I do think it happens most of the time. Our only external work and collaboration has been with folks who were bold and stepped up to take their shot.
My gaming group playtested this for The Op and it’s our most anticipated game ever 🥰🥰🥰
