Blames Jake

Two hero cards and figurines for Monster Wasteland, near a section of the map. One is General Cameron Henri II, the other Buckshot Benji Black.

Heroposting while my mind melts prepping for TokenCon! The Bravo Batallion are badass bikers who take the offensive, getting in Monsters' faces and helping others do the same. General Cameron Henri II makes vehicles cheaper, and Buckshot Benji Black can sit a Monster right on its ass 💪😤

the "babe/yes honey" meme template, but with Ironclad from Slay the Spire saying "Babe, it's time to put 300+ hours into another roguelite deckbuilder"

here we go again

Game dev season is about to dovetail with gardening season which is either going to make me lose my fucking mind (good) or make me lose my fucking mind (bad)

Well, that certainly is An Opinion

On a related note I curse every sound editor who puts dogs barking in the background of a generic "outdoors" scene for no discernible reason. Absolute madmen.

The Vernese Rangers were actually the first faction I designed! I knew I wanted unit placement to be a huge part of the game, so there had to be heroes who could manipulate units outside of turn order. Hence, these totally-not-wasteland-elves.

pushing for better liberal arts education in k12 so the bullshit posts on threads + linkedin are at least readable and coherent

a title card designed in the style of Pokopia's that reads "listen here you little shit"

"why are you so excited for Pokopia isn't it just another Animal Crossing-"

A board game setup in the Tabletop Simulator program with a large map, lots of units, different types of cards, and monsters.

The same board game setup as in image one, but zoomed in to better show the Monsters and unit/tile placement.

A close-up shot of the Settlement and Encounter cards players have discovered during the course of the game

Some shots from yesterday's playtest! We've got a pretty crowded mid-game map going on, lots of Settlements giving us nice synergy, but also lots of Monsters. Can't wait to open up digital playtesting again once I've imported the simplified map cutouts to TTS 😀

A search result for Claude from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There are three images of Claude accompanied by an auto-description reading "Claude - Large language model by Anthropic"

going to look up some Fire Emblem lore and

There's also artifact subthemes with a new type of artifact token in TMNT that just so happens to modify creatures. There's ALSO a ton of legendary creatures, though some were certainly upgraded after the fact.

What if WotC just cut a 260-card set in half and bloated it with functional reskins?

What if we were supposed to revisit Kamigawa? There's all the makings of ninja themes with TWO separate ninjitsu mechanics - maybe Ninja was simply reskinned to Spider for one set and 'webslinging' was coined to make it thematic?

Stop Designing Magic: The Gathering Sets Like This YouTube video by Tolarian Community College

Back half of this video has me on a new conspiracy theory:

Spiderman and TMNT weren't small sets that got expanded. They were one standard in-universe set that got cut in half and reskinned, then padded out. Hence repeated cards and mechanics, opposing draft archetypes, and similar design aesthetic

In the first hour or so of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, you engage in a straightfaced musical number and encounter a pirate named Keith. 10/10, no notes, retroactively my GotY.

I wonder if Slay the Spire 2 is going to have early access...

Me, trying to deceive my therapist about my newest hyperfixation: "OK so what do you call it when you're crashing out but it's cool and good?"

You cannot simultaneously hold "Abolish ICE" as a political stance & browbeat people to dedicate their support for blue ghouls like Gavin Newsom who, in conversation with *Ben Shapiro* of all people, said that he doesn't want to abolish ICE.

rly enjoy the recurring theme in the fallout show where anytime someone from management is left to their own devices they immediately fail to function properly

Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷‍♂️"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

A young man with short brown hair, glasses, in a tan jacket and green backback looks down at his open hand, palm up. He says, "I decided to talk to the police."

A hand, palm up, with a mouth and single eye, says back to the young man, "Don't do that."
