Literally the last pet supply store I went to haha. The Aubrey Plaza looked mad we were there but was sweet with the cat wandering around the store.

Yeah I get that and I poke fun at the same thing when watching. But I think the show’s emphasis is more on empathy, since the kitties almost always have a similar issue at the start of the show (that they handle better because they aren’t villains). Also the music is pretty sweet 😆

Wendybuxxx is a... well, it's a few things. A sharp satire about self-satirizing lifestyle influencers. Board game content with unusual cardplay. A dim reflection of a dim culture. In all cases, it's quite the thing to behold. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/04/27/w...

Lifestyle Content XXX

Certain words set my teeth on edge. “Content” is the worst offender. If you want to tell me you don’t care about something, call it content. The other is “influencer.”…

It really hits something different when you can see and feel your game in a store! ✨ I never imagined I’d hit this point—now with many more games on the way! Never expected my “unpublishable” abstract game would soar this far. You never know who else will fall in love with a simple idea! 🌊

On a cross country road trip for a move, and stopped at @gamesunl.bsky.social in Pittsburgh on the way. Always fun (and a bit surreal) to see one of my games on a store shelf. Game is Burgle Bros 3, co-designed with Tim Fowers.

Got a chance to try out a prototype of Walkable City from @drawnonward.bsky.social. The prototype and draft rules I had weren't finished yet so there were questions here and there, but I really loved working with other players to build out transit options for the residents. 🧵

It’s been a while since I played it but I think Hand to Hand Wombat relied on your sense of touch as you’re blindfolded. A lot of games use sight in some way, but I think “quick reflex” games like Spot It as well as the depth perception test of Dive are unique sight-focused games.
