Just a guy. Also super into the social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower. Every week I stream the game, and post a new video where I interview players. He/Him. https://www.twitch.tv/hardclaim https://www.youtube.com/@hardclaim
This week, we're playing Eggs In A Basket, and things go off the rails very quickly. Our storyteller is @hardclaim.com and this is certainly a game not to miss. youtu.be/Y5VjuARmpLk #botc #bloodontheclocktower
This week, we dive back into @hardclaim.com with Viva La Sam with Manny's script "Outed Evil". We have started with a Wizard making a big splash and more high-jinks to follow.

Thanks to @hitlistvideo.bsky.social for coming and playing Extension Cord with us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V3a...
"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."
I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

I'm playing the demo of Demon Bluff on Steam, and it's pretty cool. It's basically if Blood on the Clocktower was a single player rougelike game.

What a fun time talking all things Clocktower with @vivalasam.bsky.social! Now my friends know all my secrets 🤣 Time for some new strats! youtu.be/KCX7Qx5XQMs?...
People also tend to vastly overestimate how difficult the game is to learn. They hear that it's "complicated werewolf", but the starting edition is taught in about 5 minutes and is basically "learn as you go," between having the script in front of you and a Storyteller to ask questions as needed.
Donold’s 79th birthday parade was a pitiful failure.
The No Kings protests were a massive success.
You see how wrong it is about the subjects you do know, and can extrapolate how wrong it is about everything else.
I try to avoid Clocktower discussion on Reddit in general (I often fail at this), but I have especially learned to avoid madness discussions there especially. It's genuinely awful, lol.
When you play Clocktower with strangers you establish histories that you can connect with a year later. “Sorry where did we meet?” “I was the Washerwoman that saw you as Sage but you were actually the Spy” “Oh but you were pithagged into Drunk and got Fang Gu jumped and then we won together!”
Final Three Con was fantastic. You should attend if you get a chance. I'm not experiencing so much con drop thankfully, but it'll be a bit before a recover my energy. I'm already thinking of things to do next year!
Hard Claim live from Final Three Con with special guest @eddgabriel.bsky.social starts in less than an hour, and we'll be streaming on Twitch!
It's a couple of days early but we've arrived in DC for Final Three Con!

If you ever wanted insight into the kind of person I am, I have no less than three grocery store/supermarket simulators in my Steam library.
We know Storytelling is hard, and situations can come up that you’re not prepared for. That’s why we asked some Storytellers in our community to answer some questions about situations they’ve dealt with, and give their best advice as experienced Storytellers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iwk...
A screenshot from an email from YouTube that reads, "Hard Claim With Viva La Sam, you're nearly 30K views! Woo-hoo! You're almost there. Keep the great content coming and watch your views grow. Check out how far you've come. You've created 100 videos*."
Wow, 30,000 views. Thanks to everyone who watches our content, and especially a big thanks to @ninjanina.bsky.social who does the heavy lifting with editing and graphics.
Democrat Cory Booker ends a more than 25-hour floor speech against President Trump's actions, the longest in Senate history.
It's almost as if not having due process has bad outcomes.

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is full of fascists. And then you perform at a rock club in Tallahassee where you’re reminded there are more allies than you realize.
Thank you, 926 Bar. I needed that reminder today.

Losing weight has definitely helped me storytell in person better. It can be very hard on the feet!
AEW Revolution: I think people are blowing the ending out of proportion (and also skipping over the actual closing moments of the show). It wasn't great, but it's not near as bad as people are saying.
With that said, it's undeniable that Toni/Mariah should have gone on last.
For some time now I've tried to not make my Clocktower games linger too long (2 hours max) but lately I've made an effort to speed up my games even more and I've loved the result. Max of 4 or 5 minutes for whispers, even in large games.
The game was designed for this and it's great.
It was more so the followup post Chris Grace posted. The number of bad faith replies were astounding, lol. I was blocked by at least one person, and downvoted by several others, lol.
People like that seriously think they have the moral high ground because they're more "inclusive" than those preaching inclusion. I thought about asking how they would feel if someone joined while wearing a swastika but thought better of it.
