Been introducing her to some classics from my collection and the new favorite that's she's asking to play every day is Abandon All Artichokes. Won't be long now and I'll have her Slaying the Spire

New comic! No kings, please. 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: www.semicoop.com/comic/decrow...

“NO KINGS.” Three panels in punky bright colors with some grungy textures. The first panel shows a chessboard with all pieces except the kings. In the second, a hand of playing cards forms a royal flush but the king's card is blank. The third panel shows the board game box of The King Is Dead.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Not wanting a king in America is one of the most foundational, patriotic, and non-partisan ideals in this country. This is not about left versus right. It’s about whether we want to be ruled by a king or dictator, and we do not. ❌👑 📍NO KINGS CHANDLER, AZ

The mess and roughness and uncertainty at the beginning stages of developing a game MAKE the game. I figure out where I want to go by personally making that first draft. Doing is learning. By not doing the early stages yourself, you never learn from them. That's one of the many problems with gen AI.

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

One of the many sins of genAI is that the societal necessity of staying vigilant for it frequently turns into a policing strategy, often with punitive consequences for the handful of people who still write and make art with human integrity. I hope this student wins their suit.
