Yo! Will be stopping by the NSG booth for sure. Iβm behind on my planning - are there any scheduled Netrunner activities I should be checking out?

One of things I look forward to the most every year. Always appreciate the @tthq.bsky.social crew for how this comes together.
This is incredible news. One of the greats, sadly out of print for so many years, now coming back to life via what might be the best team you could hope for thanks to @25thcentury.games and @ianotoole.bsky.social. They are making up for lost time!
This is our most exciting release in a while, and that's part of the plan. Layout is cool, but we're building up to "layout++" β a combination of user-friendly layout and styling tools we haven't seen in a modern open source CMS before.
Listening to the homies CR and Andy go deep on Task (aka βPhilly Heatβ) has me absolutely levitating. Iβm going to savor these new little weekly rituals while they last.
That feel when a customer contributes an open source feature that unlocks an entire modern frontend dev stack
Today is a day to add to the @heavyslime.bsky.social shirt collection. They can't stop it.
You helped (re)introduce me to Netrunner at PAXU last year and since then Iβve gone deep down the rabbit holeβbuilding decks, printing proxies, teaching friendsβand have now pre-ordered Elevation. Canβt wait!
What a legend. I've just been going through the Michael Mann filmography on @criterion.bsky.social. Hadn't expected to also rewatch Heat for the 100th time but here we go.

I have been vicariously through my son for the last 6(?) years with this summer camp program. Best part is that he absolutely loves it too.
The @apostrophecms.com team is continuing to push forward with our resources for integrating with @astro.build. I really appreciate how clearly this new tutorial lays out the approach we've taken for the integration, what it's for, and how to use our Apollo theme as a learning tool.
I don't know why I don't follow any music pods, but I randomly fired this @discordpod.bsky.social episode up after it was suggested by an algorithm that clearly knew it was about one of my favorite albums. All of the connections it makes to other bands is COOKING my noodle. A joy to dive in here π
Thank you! We're actually on site with the Michelin team today talking about their future roadmapβhappy to report that Astro will continue to play a big part. I'm working on getting a full detailed case study written up sometime in the next few weeks. π
Wrote up some thoughts on how things have been going with @apostrophecms.com and @astro.build. Today we are on site in Lyon with the Michelin team talking about the future of their CX platform and Astro will continue to big a part of that.
Five-plus years of little open source utilities we built along the way: apostrophecms.com/blog/useful-... #opensource #nodejs #linux #devops #javascript
I wrote up some thoughts as we close the chapter on another year for @apostrophecms.com.

This is reminding me of my main man Brett from the Nostromo.
Big Ears artist line-up... it's a lot of artists.
YO BIG EARS. I last went to the Big Ears festival in 2015 when my brother and I turned it into a road trip from Philly. Weβve now locked in passes for the 2025 edition of this insane, pinch me, how is this even possible weekend of music and I couldnβt be more excited for our 10 (!!) year reunion.
Thank you for sharing this world with us π

One of the things I did after finishing The Daughterβs War by @buehlmeister.bsky.social was to go back and start reading The Blacktongue Thief again. Kind of an unusual move for me but I feel like I am trying to wring everything I can out of this amazingly crafted world. I need more of it!
PhilaMade game night? π€
Nice, the resource wheel was probably my favorite part from Glass Road. Excited to see how it plays in this new design.
This thread is just scratching the surface. My long list isβ¦ long. I also know that no matter how much I dig up on BoardGameGeek previews and expo maps, every PAXU brings unexpected discoveries and awesomeness, and thatβs where the best stuff is waiting. Iβll be counting down the days from here. π

Of course all these games arenβt worth much without a great crew to play with. Iβm lucky to have connected with some equally avidβand kind and welcomingβfolks from the Board Game Barrage community and canβt wait get some games going with returning and new friends alike.

Also, Netrunner!

Neuromancer in card game form. Miles (now 13) started getting into this with me and I am amazed to discover how the community has rallied around keeping the game not just alive but truly thriving. Naturally they have a lot planned for the show.

Beige is beautiful in the second glass making themed euro on my list. Tight rules, tough decisions, and a throwback, washed out hand drawn style is the skeleton key to my gaming heart.

Could this behemoth of a civilization building simulation really be worth its 1 hour long teaching time? Iβm not usually a follower of designer Stefan Feld, but the persistence and intensity of the praise itβs been getting has me ready to find out.
