Sure, I can see You Can See Everything, a three-hour long movie, at a 10:30 PM showing on a weeknight, no problem. The cocktail of fremdschamen and schadenfreude will be sure to keep me in flight or fight mode the whole time.

Read the kids the Hobbit and they loved it. We're watching the M4 Book Edit of the movies — edits down the trilogy into a single four-hour movie. We just reached the Gollum scene and the kids couldn't stop laughing. "He's the Baby in Yellow plus Donald Duck." You know what, I'll take it.

Very keen on The Terrors of Jordan Mendoza. Feels like it really brings to full light the new horror comedy of Tim Robinson and Nathan Fielder. Genuinely horrific but deeply funny in its bones; as opposed to the horror comedy we're used to, which is more comedy with horror aesthetics and trappings.

Reading Cole Werhle's Root designer diaries and the motherfucker describes the deck of cards as "an exercise in Foucaultian biopolitics." Which is ludicrous, laughable abut also pretty dang interesting in understanding the design. boardgamegeek.com/thread/18663... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopoli...

As both a designer and a player, I dislike cards. Perhaps that’s too strongly put. Really, I don’t mind them, but when I sit down to play a game that makes an extensive use of cards—especially multipl...

Aha, TIL about Von Neumann and Moore neighborhoods. Von Neumann meaning orthagonally adjacent only, while Moore means adjacent and diagonal to. In Sorcery terms, adjacent versus nearby. Super useful! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neu... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_n...

I've replaced all my spinner verbs in Claude with an aggregated list of loading messages from SimCity 2000 and The Sims and it's resulted in a 2.2% QoQ increase in joy-related KPIs.

Sketching around a data vis / data "vibes" cookbook that I sometimes fantasize about existing.

Data-vis-like sketches. What might it look like to represent instruction and information in a recipe in a visualized way?

After tireless research & study, I have come to what I believe to be the optimal #Everdell composition: • Shadespire • All meeples + player powers • Extra! Extra! • Legends • Through Every Season • Bellefaire+New Leaf forest locations (add) • B+NL special events (replace) • B+NL basic events (add)

Only just now learning that the Toe Jam & Earl soundtrack is largely inspired by this track, Chameleon, from Herbie Hancock's 1973 album Head Hunters. Time to live in it for a spell. youtu.be/iqomTAiRnVM?...

Normalize using the Haunted Mansion font for all signage.

This kid's got the right idea. Works by my 8yo son.

Handmade trading cards made by an eight-year-old, including a "foil" made from aluminum.

Pinned to a corkboard, a many-colored drawing of various elemental powers or modifiers, made by an eight-year-old. For example, orange is "lava bubble," a blue is "blue outrage," and purple is "olisoun" ("illusion").

How do you write for a game like Caves of Qud? Qud co-creator Jason Grinblat (@jfg.land) takes us on a journey on what it takes to create this novel world of language-driven science fiction. We truly believe Qud is worthy of writing awards like the Neubla for this year.

A screenshot from Caves of Qud. The description for "table". Branches of the living tree were resorbed and reformed into trunk knots. Then, hundreds of years later, the oiled saw of a gorge woodworker disarranged the arbor geometry and flattered it for civil use. That history remainds cast om two dimensions, powdered wth dust and scratched in pencil.
