I dislike chatgpt for a number of reasons, but top of my list is that it's ruined em dashes for all the real writers out there. They were – and I mean this wholeheartedly – one of our favorite things to overuse.

Got the Greyhound bus back to NYC from #PAXEast in Boston. A 20-something guy and girl ended up sitting next to each other and struck up a convo about how they'd both been to PAX (their first!) and chatted the entire way home, 4 hours straight. Games bring people together, and I love it.

Given how excited I get about *any* fishing mini game within a game, Big Catch earned an immediate spot on my wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2146290/...

Did not get to demo this game but it looks hilarious.
A banner promotes a game called Desktop Survivors 98. It uses the aesthetic sensibilities of windows 98, and appears to feature the helper character Clippy redesigned as a sword.

For anyone planning a booth - Nekomancer did a great job of communicating their game's selling points without having to say a word!
A poster promoting the game Nekomancer. It covers key aspects of the game, citing magic, ghosts, spells, portals, and mystery among the subject matter. You play a magical cat with a penchant for necromancy, using magic to help those in need!

Another First Look game, Krakel Orakel! You have to trace the lines on your mat to draw a prompt. Your opponent draws a different prompt, then you mix in some non player prompts and guess what you were trying to draw. All of mine ended up looking a bit phallic. Hnsure what that means. 🤷‍♀️

Here's some cool stuff I've seen at #PAXEast so far: Tag Team, an auto-battler with a mechanic where you can only add to your deck between rounds, not re-order it. Added a cool memory strategy element trying (and in my case, failing) to disrupt my opponent's moves! Find it in First Look!
Character and action cards from a game called Tag Team are laid out on a tabletop.

This was such an impactful 90 minutes. There were actual tears. Had to spend the rest of Sunday recovering but it was well worth it! Thank you @fkth.bsky.social, @jemalexander.bsky.social, and @chriswilsonart.bsky.social for braving our collective teenage angst with me!

This was so good! 🤩 I had an amazing time with Fiona, @chriswilsonart.bsky.social and @clairepurcell.bsky.social. Was not prepared for how intense this experience was going to be. A+++ would miss Alice again.

A #RosewoodAbbey reprint is coming! Order your copy NOW for $25. therolistes.bigcartel.com/product/rose... Costs are slightly down thanks to the combination of the English and new Italian edition. Rather than pocket the difference, I thought y'all would like a price reduction. #TTRPG #PbtA

Playing in my first Mothership campaign and my trinket (rolled randomly) is a calendar of Alien pin-up art. In my mind, every page features Thane from Mass Effect in a uniquely provocative pose.

I know all fashion comes back around but did this one REALLY need a resurrection? As seen in Vogue's '7 Trouser Trends Set to Soar in 2025' feature 🥲
Paloma wool trousers in taupe. The trousers are made by a brand called SSense and retail at £315. The trousers feature an integrated skirt, about mid-thigh length, that sits over the top of the trousers. This is a trend that was last seen (and still belongs, IMO) in the late 90s/early 00s.

I think that people who use AI are actively standing in the way of their own development, too ☹️ And if they can't grow and learn how to recognize good/bad work, there'll come a point where even AI won't be able to help them!
