I always loved the idea of a gritty cyberpunk monocity setting, but if anyone ever ventured out and got over the horizon… they’d find a cosy little farming game homesteading as nature reclaims the wasteland.. and let the players just… find it.

It's fun! And crunchy. And very much player vs player space battles.

It goes in waves. I usually have a current favorite (which changes a lot, maybe lotr trick taker currently?) and longtime favorite (Eclipse).

You know what's satisfying? The Base 3 alphabet. ✂️🧩

Huh. Same, never used them. I'm not surprised with major changes being integrating canva stuff, but I doubt that'll be very useful for me.

I haven't poked around too much yet but do you know if they updated data merge in any way?

My kids and I love that game! Hope you had fun!

Can someone remind me that I need to find my copy of Atari's ET to show my class tomorrow? it's buried somewhere in a box of decorations because of course I can't (won't) play it.

I don't offer a pnp for one of my games, because the physicality of the game needs the cards to be like standard playing cards, not sleeved or homemade. I could have gotten a bit more money by offering pnp but it wouldn't have been the same game.

Yes, and it takes getting through the young games for them to yearn for the more challenging ones.

This is the project I've been working on for ages now! A two player engine building card and dice game inspired by real life robotics!

Those are block lists. You can follow block lists that others have made as a moderation tool. I'm on a few as well, and hey, if people want to block me for something, that's their right. Being mislabeled though is frustrating.

There is a certain charm to the original art and it feels very Blaž to me. Totally understand that you want to make it feel right to you AND wanted to let you know the original is special in its own right. :)

Is there a reason that you're wanting to replace the old artwork?

@neverpo.st I would love more of an explainer on this whole ecosystem and if there's a chance that it could actually be the way of social media in the future. Seems like the kind of thing you might already be working on, tbh.

Correction: she's on her 2nd playthrough with over 200 hrs. She wanted me to share the accurate numbers. (I will report she is a functional human being now that she doesn't play as much these days)

I think my partner is on her 3rd playthrough. I think she has at least 150 hours in it at this point.

Spiderman might be the only movie I see in theaters this year. Something to tide me over until Beyond the Spiderverse drops.

I give the same advice for the exact same reason. Build understanding, empathy AND your skills at social interaction, sales and marketing, and, thus, pitching! Key point: for a lower stress but more fruitful time, work a booth where your own games aren’t being sold.

This is actually how I plan to start my class this semester- talk about play and games, how they're related and what we think about when we talk about them.

Adam Stichter @puzzlekindcreative.com · 08/08/2026

Awesome. Always interested to hear how it's going if you decide to get started on it!

Adam Stichter @puzzlekindcreative.com · 08/08/2026

How was the solo play? It was one that I waffled on buying or not (with hindsight, mostly because of the definition of "game" that I had in my head at that moment in time).

Adam Stichter @puzzlekindcreative.com · 08/08/2026

Plan how you can do it! I've got another idea kicking around in my head that is arguably the biggest game I've ever tried to make (with how many pieces intertwine) and I'm wary to get started because of the time it'll take - time i just might not have this semester.

Adam Stichter @puzzlekindcreative.com · 08/08/2026

I don't think of it as self-sabotage, but more like realistic expectations for what you can finish now? I have a very large game i started last year and I've playtested it a lot and it might never be finished and I think with this particular game I'm OK with that. If you want to go big though,

Haha, no actually. He's a personal friend - planning that he'll talk in my class about some stuff around copyright and esports.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

I always cut corners when prototyping... metaphorically speaking :P You might say a consistent corner I cut is to leave my cards corner cut-less.
