@theop.games booth wasn’t just full of fun games, but the fun people I’ve been fortunate to work with over the years. Was so nice to see you all in person. Next year we’ll have to see if we can cajole Andrew E into coming (IYKYK).
If you have a Tamagotchi (connection or paradise), bring it to Gen Con so our tamagotchis can be friends and maybe get married?? 👀
We've been secretly working with @allplay.bsky.social on a new edition of Phantom Ink It's ultra-portable, and replaces the writing pad with a cloth spirit board and a planchette for giving clues. The new components (and box) are gorgeous, and super thematic for the seance experience
Return of the Obra Dinn is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. And I don’t think any other game in the genre that it spawned will ever top it. But The Incident at Galley House comes closer than anything else I’ve played. Absolutely worth playing if you’re a fan of Obra Dunn!
In the age of AI slop, people would do well to remember words ascribed to Samuel Johnson: "What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure"
Some lovely words about Evenglow in this video (at the 25:40 mark). Thanks for the enthusiasm @raybird.bsky.social and @ruelgaviola.com! I am in esteemed company, as well. Other mutuals in this video listed in the comments. There will be some great games at GenCon! 🧵 1 of 2 #boardgames

I truly believe "mean girl vibes" has to be one of the worst phrases to gain popularity over the last few years. For when you've chosen to hate a woman (always a woman; there's no "mean guy vibes" phrase equivalent!) for no discernible reason and you've decided that makes it her fault
Why is eating a flaky croissant so embarrassing like oh sorry I’m getting my buttery flakes everywhere

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.
Cabel Sasser@cabel.panic.com · 3mo agothis graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
Everyone out here talking about men wearing slutty little glasses and no one is crediting the inventor of this trend, Auron from Final Fantasy X, and frankly I think that’s disgusting
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
Ok we need a debate settled: Who should initiate the high five at the end of a board game? The winner or the loser?

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.
Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.
