Playing #ZeroCompany and there are some bugs that I hope get smoothed out over time, but I’m enjoying the game far too much to care. The A-plot supports diverse enemies and makes enough sense. The individual character stories are more nuanced than expected and the bonds are an amazing addition.

An absolutely perfect custom frame by @64hrvrd.bsky.social for the original art and limited giclée print of “Fancy Lad” by one of my favorite artists, @hookieduke.bsky.social. Absolutely gorgeous work by multiple talented and creative people. We are so pleased with how it turned out!

It is crazy how often I have a conversation with my wife, like we did about how much more joyful and authentic New Years at the London Eye seemed than NYE in NYC (with limited subscription streaming availability), and then two weeks later @hankgreen.bsky.social posts a video about the same thing.

youtube.com/shorts/tLVtN... Watching the smooth confidence of painting the highlights is mind-blowing. Art doesn’t just take the time to turn paint and canvas into an image. It takes the years learning how to apply dozens of mastered techniques. That is why AI art is hollow and sucks. #mtglorwyn

Been listening to “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young a lot this week. Seems like a good time to remember what those lyrics are about and how everything old is eventually new again.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social Have you seen what’s going on with #over/under? Looks like it’s a Mothership based massive text-based dystopian RPG happening on a discord server that has picked up steam the past few months. Seems like something you’d find interesting.

If the character singing the song Piano Man started calling everyone in the bar out for their social posturing it would become a very effective 5 minute cut of The Iceman Cometh.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Saw your new video and I’ve been puzzling for a while if it’s possible for society to better reward “trusted sources” to counter market forces purchasing and exploiting credibility that took years to build, thus eroding trust in what folks haven’t independently verified.

I would like to petition @samreich.bsky.social for more content where a married couple who are both intensely charming and have recently had a child are made to strugglehump their way through interviewing each other while likely intensely sleep deprived.

Very excited to try out new cleaning supplies from #goodstore. Feels silly but I was unprepared for how potent the still very pleasant smell of this box was going to be, even having seeing @hankgreen.bsky.social react to it. Immediately makes it clear that I’ve been paying a lot for mostly water.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social I always try to pick up a couple indie RPG books from the expo hall to give you as thanks for all you do. This year you were in and out Saturday afternoon so I handed them to Mike and he kindly said he’d pass them along. Have they gotten to you yet?

When we got back to the room after dinner @chaihard.bsky.social and I looked through the games we picked up from #PAXUnplugged for what we could learn quickly. We opened COOL COOL COOL from @twogetherstudios.bsky.social. I can’t remember the last game that was as much fun as soon as we started.

Finally made it out to the Dandelion for a Sunday dinner after #paxunplugged and it exactly what I wanted. Perfect end to a great weekend.

@cwgabriel.bsky.social After telling you that I always find something useful for mini painting at the Game Envy booth I realized I could look up the booth number and relay it here (4035).

@ryanhartman.bsky.social I just dropped off some friction tape and moleskin at the info desk across from Merch Lite in case you, @stringerplz.bsky.social, or anyone else actually need it for your feet.

Me before coming to Philly this weekend: “I’m going to really try to not eat too much sugar this weekend.” German Festival Near the Hotel: “There’s a guy here making fresh stroopwaffle that you can smell from a block away.” Me:

Made it to Philly for our annual #paxunplugged trip. View from the hotel is a nice look down everything going on near City Hall.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Last two hankschannel videos push out past 15 minutes with the puzzle and tea interview. More media experiments, is there a known benefit at the 15 minute mark, or am I overthinking it?
