AI transcription either needs a lot of work or the AIs are trolling us. I saw “never been in a wreck” transcribed as “never been erect”

I don't only post shit on the internet, sometimes I make games too! ...which I then post on the internet. Anyway! Here's a 🧵 about some games I've made. Most of these use standard components or are pnp, so you might already own them and not realize it!

How long is it acceptable to take back a move in a board game? I say as long as the next player hasn’t taken their turn yet, it's fair game Where do you draw the line at your table? #BoardGames #FriendlyDebates

Our group’s artist working on game art for his game Creatures of Darkness #BoardGames #IndieDev

A close-up, top-down view of a hand wearing a dark ring, using a fine-tip pen to carefully ink a stylized creature design in a spiral-bound sketchbook.

A top-down view of a sketchbook page containing two rough pencil concept sketches of a ghostly, long-haired entity with sharp claws. A Derwent Graphic pencil and a small piece of black kneaded eraser rest on the page alongside the drawings.

A top-down view of the finalized illustrations in the sketchbook, now completely filled in with colored pencils. The top figure is a floating wraith-like character with long dark hair, green eyes, and a flowing blue tattered robe. The bottom figure is the same creature in a crouching position and wearing purple-and-black garments. Both illustrations are signed at the bottom.

One of my craziest Hold’em hands: I was big blind with 5/7 spades. 3-4 limpers. Flop (no joke), 3, 4, 6, all spades. I flopped a straight flush. Betting goes nuts - the small blinds limped in with Ax suited, so he’d flopped an ace high flush. Cleaned up that hand! #TexasHoldEm #PokerStories

Fountains from @theop.games has rapidly earned a spot in our board game night rotation. Really neat mechanics, very pretty, and most importantly super fun to play. I like that there are multiple viable strategies, & even when far behind you can come back to win. 5/5, do recommend #BoardGames
