If you’re in Århus/Aarhus any time soon, pop by Kunsthal Aarhus and get a dose of anti-motivation. Fun, easy to decode and laugh at art.
Tonight we play Dungeon Crawl Classics (old D&D on steroids). First session after the funnel (session where you play multiple characters, and many of them die, a survivor becomes your real character). I think this is always the hardest session in DCC (or for any D&D, first after initial adventure).
New tradition: Every time my wife leaves home without me, she gives me Lego (a tradition is a tradition after first instance, right?). Fun subject, pretty good build, low playability, will be horrendous to disassemble.
More kinda helpless adventures in Prague. My back decided to end itself just before we left (after years of neglect - I promise myself a bit of exercise when I come home) so the past days in Prague has been mostly carefully walking around. Not too far from hotel. Not a bad city for short strolls.
Micro-review of the new non-stop train from Copenhagen to Prague (not very non-stop because we had to take a different train to Hamburg, and because that train was DSB we had a bus from the border): Worst coffee I have ever tasted. Otherwise fine. Have fun on your travels!
I already have two editions of PsiRun on my shelf (ashcan and first), but I’m pretty certain I need another edition. And you should get one too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...
PsiRun Second Edition
Whoever was holding you captive, you're free, for now. You have superpowers & amnesia. You know they're after you. What could go wrong?

I love Copenhagen (technically Frederiksberg). People getting married and then straight in a public bus to go to the party.
Played Tenby today. Very pretty, but also pretty meh. Definitely not bad. Will be pretty popular with the next-cozy-game-similar-to-the-last-gang. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40...

Was at Papas Papbar (the board game cafe where I spend most og my incomplete phd time, many hours with great friends, even more with my daughter). What a perfect place. Especially when alle the good people take turns to also be there (ok, only some of them, but I felt lucky). Almost 10 years!
Congratulations to Hungary (and the rest of Europe)! Let’s continue to get rid of authoritarians everywhere else also. I hope the cleanup and transition will go smoothly.
It’s odd how it works. Just had new ideas for a silly game I abandoned a year ago. Why? Because I tried to force myself to work on another game I didn’t feel like. Does my brain save up derail-ideas for later or do the appear when “needed”?
Returning to the (very unreal feeling) real world is a bit tough after being out of the loop during Easter. Can you guys handle this one and I stay ignorant for another week? Please?
At this point, I think it's fair to say that Trump is threatening not only war crimes but also genocide and crimes against humanity.
Peter Gleick@petergleick.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe United States has signed and ratified the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Articles II and III define punishable acts, including "conspiracy to commit genocide" and "direct and public incitement to commit genocide". Trump has done both.
First half of day two of Fastaval was a couple of prototypes. And then we played DystopAI, by @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social and Daniel Olai - an absolutely crazy engine-builder-manipulation-oddity. So much fun to explore! Many moments of: Oh, you can do _that_?!
First day of Fastaval is over (very early due to tired and slightly overwhelmed daughter). We got to play Rene’s Postulate (not made for my preferences, but a fun start) as well as a few old titles. Lots of familiar faces ❤️ and loud noises. Tomorrow we will dive in proper for a full day of awesome.
POSTULATE - Fastaval
“Pineapple on pizza is a winner!”Postulate is a debate game about the important questions in life, disguised as postulates. No small talk allowed. It is also a game about winning the conversation and ...

A couple a years ago the mantra was “configuration is code”, so we tested our configuration. Today (context LLM) I was told “the conversation is code”, so we test…?
The best deadlines: postponed. Had a few days with time to play around and learn new stuff. It is great to have time to touch code that doesn’t urgently have to be done. I enjoy.
I recommend this video on software testing. Short. Easily understood. Enlightening. About shoes.
Emily Bache@emilybache.com · 8mo agoLots of people have opinions about what good tests look like - I've taken inspiration from many and condensed it all down to some useful insights. And I talk about shoes! youtu.be/IFrmfN1fxLg?... If you prefer to read, this blog is on the same topic: coding-is-like-cooking.info/2025/12/test...
I’ve read it several times through the years. Especially the “be obvious” is core to how I play, and teach how to play.
Graham Walmsley 🎲@grahamwalmsley.bsky.social · 8mo agoRemember, if the Play Unsafe Kickstarter reaches 300 followers, it will make no practical difference but give me a moment's satisfaction! Can you help give me that moment? Or do you just like round numbers too? Am I doing this right? www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...
Lately we have been playing a few sessions of Mythic Bastionland (two so far), and I have notes (mostly love). bastionlandpress.com/products/myt...
@jeremydmiller.bsky.social just found a bug for us, in how we use Wolverine. Friendly, to the point and for free. I owe him a favor, but I’m not sure I have much to offer, so if you do, pay forward the goodwill for me ;)
Sign up for Fastaval 2026 is open. As always, I’ll be there. www.fastaval.dk/en/

The project for this seeking is baking rye bread. We have everything, but except all the ingredients. Ok, technically we have a sour dough and water… but no flour. Both my daughter and I are terrible at planning. But at least she had the energy to go shopping in the middle of the evening.
Recently my daughter (14) wanted a sewing machine, so we got her one for late Christmas present. Now she asks me all kinds of advice on how to sew. I am equal amounts flattered and terrified. (I can kinda sew a pillow case, but not much more).
If you’re not already watching @techconnectify.bsky.social regularly. Watch this one. All of it. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM
I am impressed by the American people, by their skill at community building. I love to see people get together and help each other to change minds (and love to anyone who changes their mind, it is such a hard thing to do). Keep up the good work.
Considering Trump recently threatened war on us, I feel like we’re the lucky ones. I wish we could do more for the Americans dealing with ICE, but just like the troubles everywhere else in the world I feel powerless. Is there something we can actually do?
