Hey folks! Just checkin in. Im still here, still making games. Just went to #TantrumCon26, and saw @cardboardchris.bsky.social as well as a ton of others. Working on my dance deckbuilder game, and a much newer one which is a interviewing bingo game. Good shit around the corner.
Im so hyped to be in the show!!
My buddy and game night regular made this game and its SO GOOD and so fun, and so hilarious every time you play. You dont want to miss out on Wizard Community College, so go back it right now!

Stats screen says: Im fast as FUCK, boy!
In game view of what 11k m/s looks like. I can see forever.
Been playing a lot of Haste by @landfall.se recently. Fantastic game, 10/10, would reccomend. Today i achieved a real milestone though. After 70 hours of rougelike rng antics i finally found a combo of items that fully, dead ass, broke the game:
Id love to show em my game! Or just meet up and say hay. More friends more better!
Using compinent studio to remake my deck of cards.
It turns out i'm going to Southern Fried Gaming Expo again this year! So excited!! But that means i gotta furiously work on my dancing deck builder, 'Dance Shuffle' so's i can get some playtests in while im there. Anyone else going? Leave a comment and lets play some games! #SFGE2025 #boardgames
Monday's game night was 'roll and write' night for me personally. Started with Welcome To, then Ganz Schon Clever, and finally Cartographers. Please excuse the names of my cities/housing developments. If you put me on the spot, im gonna go with 'The lord fart of ye ol buttville'... i yam what i yam.
Oh man! Dream game design project: Take the gloomhaven game system, and set the campaign in terry pratchet's discworld!! The city is ahnk-morpork! Character classes like: the night watch, the witches, the wizards, the old barbarians, death, industrial revoloutianary, etc.
It would be SO much fun!
Today I had my mom over for mother's day brunch, wrote a nodeJS web scraper and successfully got data back, played Jaws of the Lion with the GF and finally, set up a PS2 emulator on her computer so she could play Kya: Dark Legacy, (a game from her childhood that only she remembers). Pretty good day.
Ok! Here it is: Twilight Imperium game day at Moondog Meadery! 5 tables available!! New and veteran players welcome! We'll have coaches wandering around to help with rules and strategy! Pizza party for dinner included in price. Dont wait to sign up!!
Do I have any mutuals who are board game content creators on NC? I have an exciting spectacle of an event coming up in early april that i think could generare some great content. Get at me for details!
Two spooning cats groggily looking at the camera through squinting eyes.
We postin cats?? Here's coyote and fleur waking up from a nap only to find a weirdo taking pix of them in bed (i hope this helps you study!):
Hey boardgame bluesky! It looks like protoATL 2025 and unpub 2025 are on back to back weekends at the end of march this year... which one should i go to? Or is there another event i ought to be targeting instead? Halp!
I saw you and tim playin! Didnt see this skeet until now tho. hope you had a blast, and you join us again soon!
Haha, my cat does this ALL the time and fights me to let him stay in there.
'Daaaad! Im a grocery!! Im a lettuce! So just lettuce be!'
I just close him up in there for a few minutes and he's ready to come out. Ha!
Blood and disease....chef?
Wednesdays are less hype than mondays BUT, we get to play cool prototype games like David Marron's Wizard Community College (coming to kickstarter later this year!). Here's my perfectly normal, only likes eating regular human food (why do you ask?),WCC student:

Finally at Magfest and got Touch Hands Arcade set up!! Inspired in part by the work of @doougle.net in B.U.T.T.O.N and Johan Sebastian Joust. not an improvment on the 'make your own rules' genre but another entry in it. Thx to @toomuchtomato.bsky.social and @socksmagocs.bsky.social for the support!!
If i pay for a service, or app, or expierence of any kind, it better not have even one single ad. You already made your money. More is greedy.
PREACH!
Dev: We're making a Ghibli-esque game
Me: What, like Grave of the Fireflies?
Dev: N-no...
Me: Hm... strong themes around the struggle of humanity and nature coexisting?
Dev: -visibly sweating-
Me: Ah. It's just the pastel anime aesthetic isn't it?
Dev: Please... stop... the SEO will hear you!
Respectfully, Its only tangentially about remembering and managing passwords. Its MUCH more about the politics of who gets access to your information and why.
The car wash place doesnt need to know my human address But to pay for a wash, i need to download an app and hand it over. Its criminal.
Holy shit. This is the one.
Keep the faith! Been running public game nights for 10yrs here, and theres gonna be days where its just you and the fellers. But consistency is KEY! If youre there consistently, people will eventually catch on and the numbers will grow!
I ALSO think about this bit CONSTANTLY. The definition of living rent free in my brain.
Jk, I figured it out! Coming to a magfest near you: Touch Hands Arcade!!
I DO have a few advanced rectangles goin on! One day I'll discover the secret last 30%...
