Iโm already 100% fully in for Project Hail Mary, but Iโm absolutely drowning in a relentless bombardment of ads for this movie.
Please be good.

A pristine 4 pack of uniball insight fine point black ink pens still in the blister pack. Truly a divine sight.
As best I can tell, my favorite was discontinued so I bought as many as I could find at the time. Will probably have to switch to 4 when I run out.
Prescient is exactly right; a remake would barely have anywhere to go.
Feeling utterly doomed to watch the tech bros speedrun their way to COLOSSUS in real timeโ a mistake weโve been warned about making in urgent detail for 60 years.

I think itโs been long enough to ask:
What the hell was this?
youtu.be/iwhPkBHLdqE?...
I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
Iโm already tired of this Torment Nexus-ass government.
This is the most important thing on the internet rn ๐คฃ๐ญ
Impeach this asshole already, what is the holdup
I had a great time talking with @panda8ngel.bsky.social about New York Toy Fair and a whole wide range of stuff for the BGG podcast.

DUDE. YES. ABSOLUTELY.
An unopened, shrink-wrapped stack of 100 magazine boards.
When I had to prototype hexes I used magazine board from the local comic shop. Itโs thick enough to work like tiles, but thin enough to cut with scissors. Printed my game elements on label paper and just applied them to the board before cutting.
Wellโฆ itโs all very complicated you see with this modern papyrus and varying absorption rates. *Vastly more complicated* than just melting some plastic.
Now THATโS the one. I think theyโd have a healthy (dis)respect for each other regardless of any alignment in the moment.
I actually got undenied on appeal, so itโs all good.
I think they just approved my appeal
I just got turned down by registration. ๐
Questionable decision making confirmed, I've just applied to go to NY Toy Fair this weekend. Let's get this game signed!
A copy of Jingle Bell Roll assembled into a collage for display in a shadow box picture frame.
A collection of five games presented in shadow boxes. Theyโre all unplayable now as theyโre incomplete copies hot-glued into fixed positions for display. The titles top to bottom, left to right are: -The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game -Jingle Bell Roll -Discount Salmon -Letter GO! -BEEEEES!
Got my designer copies in, so now Iโve added Jingle Bell Roll to the published game shadow box collection.
Meanwhile the LEGO group stays collecting my checks.

A Dove brand chocolate bar alongside a Dove brand soap bar. The Dove logos share a curvy general wordmark style, but are clearly not identical.
I thought these were from the same Dove, which is almost as confusing as the fact these products coexist and they are not.
Project Hail Maryโs Rocky inside his geodesic spaceball from a fan made poster on Etsy.
๐ถ Cannot find what I want. Cannot make by myself.
๐ต Need small Rocky figure suspended in a clear d12.
๐ถ Then label sides with Eridian base-6 numbers two times.
๐ต Who can make what I need, question?

Worker Replacement in action. This white robot is posed as a bullfighter.
The old scoretrack with the pictures and names of two dozen actual robotics projects and their (ir)responsible development companies.
The new scoretrack numbered 1-40 with several seemingly random boxes highlighted in green.
The nightmare fueled scoretrack Iโve been using for Worker Replacement has been deemed too difficult to read by testers, so I made a new one loosely based on a code contribution tracker.
โฆwhat?
It is 100% worth your time. He breaks it down to simple terms anyone can follow and goes step by step through the explanation with effective visuals and real world figures.

Iโm actively in pursuit of finding a mass market publisher for my robot-posing charades game.
Strongly considering a trip to NY toy fair in a couple weeks, but Iโm unsure if that will be the best use of my time since Iโm planning it so late with no meetings lined up.

In case I havenโt been clear:
ABOLISH ICE is the floor.
PROSECUTE THE PERPE-TRAITORS is where Iโm at and I donโt think Iโd find much disagreement in Minnesota.
It was outrageously cold and people took the day to march in the streets by the thousands. I donโt know where else weโll get that.
The people inside that arena rally I attended were absolutely not exclusively leftists, simply a bunch of Minnesotans tired of being fed lies and victimized.
I felt conflicted about attending at all. My chosen art felt quite frivolous to bring into that place at that time. To grossly understate it, things definitely escalated during the con. Iโm still not sure it was the right thing to do.
But Iโm heartened by the resolve in the people there.
