A.I. doesn’t have a sound because the sound it has is the sound of the past. That's what Hans Zimmer said and it's so true. And I read somewhere it's the past being marketed as the future. Which is also spot on. All the reasons why it will never replace human creativity.

I wish these war monger world leaders would just 1v1. Winner takes nothing. We just ALL get to slap them.

I am watching Marcus Mumford in a white tank top singing, and just watched Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams on SNL. And the Women's Hockey team made fun of the Men's Hockey Team. At this moment, I am happy.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

This man does not speak for me.

Filipinos have a lot of dishes with offal. That’s because our colonisers from Spain got all the good cuts of meat and whatever was left was meant for the slaves, the poor, the servants, the colonised, to them that was us. You know how they think of you when they say this.

It’s so sad Mamdani can’t run for President. You need to change those rules.

Concordia, but a waifu for all the dudes who get very upset about the existence of women with slightly square jawlines in media

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

A while back I reached out to a mid-level publisher about getting a review copy of a game. They asked if I could meet with them at Essen, Gencon or somewhere else overseas in person

Because i couldn't they declined to send me review copies because they need to get to know the people involved first

Exactly.

Because I want to have a good laugh after getting annoyed, Yes these are real. And yes they are so good.

WHAT IN THE: "In 2004 Dancey resigned from the board of tabletop gaming trade association GAMA, after revealing he had accessed the confidential email communications of the GAMA board of directors prior to his election." How did he keep getting hired.

Ideas aren't this special thing.

Execution is the thing. Craft is the thing. Practice is the thing. Development is the thing. Persistence is the thing.

Actually, I want to quote this again, because I think some of us are making the misstep of allowing this conversation to proceed on Dancey's terms.

He insists he was only talking about *ideas*, not finished products. What goofballs we are! Except...

It's so good.

Everything is almost 2x to 3x more and it reaches us six months to one year later sometimes.

No Dan, other people should quit! Shall I make a list?

Oh Dan, you don't know how annoyed I am. I was having a good day. LOL

Yeah, that's a significant part of it.

Also, my first degree was in ethics, and some people are talking big about things they haven't studied and don't understand.

25.02.2026 23:10 πŸ‘ 12 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

Agree! And we live in Australia and NZ and this is the cost. What about the Southeast Asia?

Privelege matters. Some people can opine about the ethics of being a reviewer because they don't have the same obstacles in their way. Some people don't have money, access, the "right" gender, status. They think they got to where they are just out of pure hard work and sheer integrity. BALONEY.

Comparison of Cost of Boardgames - In AU, Flip 7 is 28 AU, That's about 20 USD. Actual cost of Flip7 in US. 7.99. You want reviewers to be pure and buy their own copies. WHO GETS TO BUY?
