Big honour to be invited onto the Rascal podcast to talk about @boosterpacksite.bsky.social and the state of TCGs! Rascal was one of the main inspirations for Booster Pack, so this was awesome.

Most underrated indie game ever: Disco Elysium

For the tabletop folks, designers and publishers, especially if you're not based in the US - do you have thoughts about attending Gen Con later in July/Aug, given the state of geopolitical affairs? Would you be attending, or would you be giving it a miss? Let me know! kheehoon@rascal.news

At least we have independent games media because this wouldn't have been published anywhere

Albo has the quite likely what will be the biggest ostensibly left wing majority this country will have in our lifetime and he's pissing it away supporting genocide, illegal wars, and banning kids from the internet while doing nothing about life affordability, climate change, or class disparity.

Blood on your hands.

The NYT is not responsible for the opinions it publishes.

US soldiers are not responsible for the deaths of the children it kills.

The Empire's citizens are not responsible for supporting imperial institutions.

Jack Dorsey says he's cutting nearly half of his staff — 4,000 jobs — at Block. Read the memo. Block, led by CEO Jack Dorsey, is cutting over 4,000 jobs, or nearly half the company. Read Dorsey's memo on the cuts.

Mewgenics Review - The Wand Report Mewgenics is a wonderfully in-depth roguelike and management sim that offers nearly endless replayability.

I'm really sorry about that! I've updated the article accordingly.

Hey! It's Black History Month! When you support VIDEO GAME OF THE YEAR you not only support me, a Black author, but also all the other fantastic Black writers who contributed essays to the book. Check it out!

I feel that at least Valnet, at the very least, believes writing about games is perhaps somewhat profitable. ClickOut doesn't even pretend that it's into gaming. Instead they just engage in parasite SEO, purchase sites for their ranking, and then turn them into casino sites

ClickOut Media has been extremely bad news for the longest time and they make even Valnet look good in comparison

I'm launching a site! Booster Pack is an independently run and community-funded site dedicated to TCGs like Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Been working on this for a while, and I'm excited to finally be showing it off!
