Tuberville said something like "why would anybody run for Senate if they couldn't get rich?", and I think that's an angle that also needs addressing - high office should come with a lifetime high UBI and then a 100% tax on everything else, including most previously-owned assets
Riker is the bard (charisma, instrument). Troi is a warlock (consults with dark powers; namely, Lwaxana)
It's thoughtful of these folks to be honest instead of just saying "yes". Less cleanup later.
I suspect if you ran this in the summer, you'd see the US penalized on the volume of swimming medals. But it makes sense here (even if the hockey tournament feels overweighted)
Game map for the initial setup of BCS Danger Forward, the US landings at Sicily in 1943.
BCS Danger Forward; the initial airdrop from the 82nd was off course to the southeast, shifting the balance of screening forces.
I would broaden "Kickstarter" to all releases. Essen is surely as big a contributing factor. But New New New certainly seems to be a major factor, probably aided by how few games, comparatively, are in retail 5 years on.
Your thread reads to me as a thoughtful interrogation of Dancey's CYA "I didn't say what I plainly said" gaslighting. You've engaged in good faith. But I think Dancey's body of work says that what he said the first time is what he meant. He sees slop machines as miracle devices.
If it uses electricity and I don't understand it, it's AI
Are you Grant or McClellan? @markherman54.bsky.social explains that you really ought to approach American Civil War gaming like Ted Williams

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.
What a pointed and tragic illustration of "AI doesn't have to be good enough to replace you; it just needs owners to believe that it's good enough"
Would love to talk at some point about what I ought to know for doing similar printing.
Rebel Fury; we'll run a poll on which is better ;)
Now I know who to blame for Brant turning me down to run AotP. Something something the developer. Guess I can't really argue with that.
It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this
Origins is 17-21 June & it's time for #wargamers to get in gear to come join us
We've had a dedicated #wargaming program in the main game hall since 2014 & it's continuing to expand
But don't take it from us!

And yet this flies in the face of everything we know about LLMs not being analytical engines. My bet is that it's like stockbrokers - any random distribution will have a set that is abnormally positive, and that is not an indication of inherent ability
Approaching the Campaign in Barbarossa: Army Group North, 1941
The game sets absolute boundaries between Army Groups North & Center but does provide a few VP obj's off the direct Leningrad route that speak to wider coordination w/ AGC & the drive towards Moscow

Teen mode blocks access to voice chat / screen share, which is going to be the killer restriction.
Mid-game image of Churchill, a 3-player game of Allied great power negotiation during WW2
Churchill by @markherman54.bsky.social - we spent way too much time bickering over political games to defeat the Axis (also, I rolled a 1 with a +8 mod to move two spaces into Germany - turns out a better Market-Garden still fails)
It will amplify the flaws and biases of its training data and its processing system. The first is scary. The second is terrifying. DoD wants to run on commercial source; we've all seen the conspiracy theories X can inject to Grok. the others are equally vulnerable to the whims of unaccountable few.
Some powerful writing in that (and also a good references list); thanks for amplifying
Initial setup for the board game Inflection Point. A number of Soviet rifle divisions are deployed roughly north-south across the map
Next up, Inflection Point, Kalach, from @calvinboy24.bsky.social and @multimanpublishing.bsky.social
Wow, punching the units as they're needed.
What would this hire even do? The qualifications are "writer"; they've already stolen all the writing. More writing won't develop an electric soul or whatever magical transformation they need.
Five classes I took in college
British Politics
Combinatorics
The Ancient World
Real-Time Programming
Equestrian Studies
It'll be fun to read the weeping and gnashing of teeth over that last bit.
It's an experience; I love teaching it to teens. "You win by winning, or by being the only player not to lose". If you know the Calvinball line "the score is still Q to 12", it's that energy.
The best part of this game Notre Dame sitting home furious about how terrible it is while they lost to BOTH of these teams
