The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:
Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

It's Platypus Con weekend!!! We just got a hand delivered box from @weirdgiraffegames.com who is here in Juneau this year! Very excited to try out their games!
We made it to Denver and Seattle. Now waiting for our flight to Juneau. Enjoying some Beecher’s cheese See you soon Alaska!
We’re on our way to Platypuscon in Alaska! Nick is making some finishing touches to the Kickstarter page. There’s not much time left to get on the launch list for FREE pledge upgrades! Go get yourself on the list before it closes! weirdgiraffegames.com/LL21
A highlight of @orcacon.bsky.social for me was the upcoming "Variance " expansion for Logic & Lore from @weirdgiraffegames.com . A two-player logic game where each turn you ask your opponent about the cards in front of you, attempting to blindly arrange them in numerical order.
Who is going to OrcaCon this year and wants to meet up? I fly out in the morning!
I played Oros! It took me a few turns to understand what I was doing but I ended up really liking the action selection system. You move a person to that action, but then it’s blocked until it’s moved or sent to the island. What’s your favorite game with a bit of a puzzle in action selection?
I played Rebirth for the first time! I’d seen it at Pax Unplugged and it looked interesting, so I was excited to try it. It was a lot simpler than I thought it’d be, but still fun. It’s draw a tile, place a tile with objectives and area control.
This is day 4 of scarf! The pattern says it’s a 6 day scarf… but I really doubt that unless days 5 and 6 are like 12 hours of crocheting each. BUT progress is progress!
Yarn wall is slowly progressing! Do you do anything unique for craft or board game storage? Whenever I get stressed, I get the idea in my head that the way to fix whatever it is that’s bothering me is the perfect storage solution for something. Obviously that’s not true but MAYBE IT IS???
Artwork is happening! I’m really excited about this, as the dice definitely change the way I play the game. I can have a plan… then dice happen, so I have to compensate, but the information learned is new and can be super useful.
These Logic & Lore expansion prototype boxes are starting to look really cool!! Make sure to get on the email list so you don’t miss the art reveal in January: weirdgiraffegames.com/logic
What do you think of the prototype box and components for the Logic & Lore Expansion??? Both the Second Edition of Logic & Lore and expansion will be hitting Kickstarter on the first week of February. Follow along with our progress: weirdgiraffegames.com/logic
