Going live now at twitch.tv/asmadigames!

I'm going to test some Aw Ducks! at 7PM Eastern on stream, and because it's a game where all information is public, viewers can play! Depending on interest, I'll either play simulated games, against chat as one player, or against people who join the discord call - asmadigames.com/discord DUCKS!

Stream setup for Aw Ducks, with ducks, a plumplim, more ducks, number cards, and of course, ducks.

So Discord is somehow determining whether accounts are 18+ or not, and it's surely not by random chance, so I'm left with the inevitable conclusion: they're feeding everything you've ever done into an LLM. Always remember, folks: nothing you do on Discord or Slack is truly private.

Gross gross gross. Can't wait to see the inevitable "oopsie we leaked all your personal info that you used to verify" blog post months down the line.

The coziest possible game - just plonking blocks of woods down in dioramas as it tells you a story! Would also be absolutely great for playing with a young kiddo. store.steampowered.com/app/2572040/...

Woodo feels like a 3D coloring book you can touch, a relaxing puzzle-tale told through handcrafted wooden dioramas. A toy for those who never forgot how to be a child.

Yet another awful, awful decision by Twitch. They seem hellbent on making their platform worse, daily. Please Twitch, push more garbage "save your stream streak" notifications on us, while you're at it!

It's become hugely dispiriting how frequently I'm having to contact other tabletop news sites asking that they -please- cite BoardGameWire as the source of the story they've just directly lifted, slightly reworded or run through ChatGPT before slapping it on their site without attribution.

Friendly reminder to all to check your fire safety equipment! Just averted a disaster (toaster: do not toast yourself please) because we had a fire blanket right on the wall in the kitchen. If you don't have one of these, I heartily recommend it - and make sure your extinguisher is handy too!

Secu Captain Fire Blanket, wrapped around a toaster that was on fire a bit ago

oh dear lord, i just got a phone call - it seems that the keywords attached to our google search listing have ISSUES! I understand that google can't personally call each and every one of us, so an robotic automated recording was best. What do I do? Do I just burn the whole website down? CRISIS!

I have seen a lot of bad apologies in my time here on the Internet, but: “I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment by people in my inner circle” is one of the most hilarious failpologies of all time. Kawhi Leonard is an absolute clown, and him pretending he didn't know is such a joke.

Every exhibitor's worst nightmare. Gamescom should really do something to help the affected studios here - a special spotlight or something for these games? I've heard so many stories over the years of thefts at shows in Germany, very organized efforts. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/its-hea...

I'm signing an executive order today that says that if anyone actually calls it "Lake America", you are legally allowed to dress up as Spiderman and do whatever a Spiderman does (as seen in action recently)

Embarrassing sign attempting to rename Lake Ontario, with dumbest elements crossed out and replaced by reason

Oh hey, Twitch added an opt-out (of course its on by default!) to gobble your stream content into some AI training garbage disposal. Lets be honest, Amazon will 100% use your content to train generative AI even if you unclick this, but I'm doing it anyway. Hurray futile resistance measures!

What an absolute fraud, which is not a huge surprise if you've heard literally anything Rodgers has said over the past couple years. This is good and important journalism, and I hope this story makes its way in front of a lot more eyes.

Every so often a Magic set comes out, and I'm like "Oh! I should play a little Magic." Then, I play a couple drafts, and once I lose (or frankly win) the "Did You Draw a Land?" Simulator portion of the Draft Experience, I remember that I only want to play a *little* Magic, and move on.

"At least we provided some training data for the LLMs" is the new "At least we created some value for the shareholders" (I would surely get more engagement on this post if I made a garbage AI comic with those words in bubbles, but...no thanks.)

I remember Electronic Arts from the 80s, making weird games for the Commodore 64. They grew and grew, and made a lot of iconic games along the way, and unfortunately have been a mess for a while. It's sad to see where they're headed now.

If you are in a sales position, and my "We aren't interested, thank you," isn't the end of the conversation, I will probably never work with your company. This message brought to you by Every Factory Rep Interaction at Gen Con. I try and be polite about it, but it really wears my patience thin.

You may be opposed to AI coming for your jobs, but look at it from the investors' side - how else are they going to secure wealth and get out before it all collapses? -probably a NYT op ed -actually probably just a NYT regular story

I continue to find so many parallels between the book publishing industry and tabletop game industry. To those posting about GAMES they like: Read this plea from the Tabletop Game Designers Association. I'd also like to add that including credit for the human game ARTISTS is also important.

Mystic Curling Club's rulebook is six pages long (plus a cover/back cover), I explain on two of those six pages (once with a diagram!) what a Lost Stone is (and on the reference card). It's any stone that's gone out of play. I'm a lil bit baffled that a couple people have found this confusing!

A diagram explaining what a lost stone is. A lost stone is a stone that leaves the ice!
