Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop.

There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts.

I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x

All the years I was a game reviewer we stressed about making sure we provided enough in return for a review copy, providing enough meat whether it was positive or negative on balance. But all this time I could have just done this:

Cartoon titled "know the work rules".

The first panel, labeled "appropriate" depicts Garfield the cat in a business suit leaning around the edge of a cubicle and pointing to a woman at her desk while saying, "coffee lasagna Mondays am I right?" to which the woman responds, hands clasped together, "awww you're so funny"

The second panel, labeled "inappropriate", depicts a far side cow leaning around the edge of the same cubicle and speaking with a word bubble which contains only the shapes of the 4 cow tools.  The woman fearfully picks up the 
Phone and says, "hello , complaint department??!"

@cd_hooks What to look for on election night in the
#TXSen Dem primary: 1) Votes. The more each candidate gets, the better. And that's likely to determine the
winner of the entire ballgame. 2) The map. Votes from outside Texas aren't likely to count at all-unless they were mailed
in.
