As someone who has been deeply disappointed by LSS's handling of this matter, I greatly appreciate you putting forth your perspective with such grace.

YouTube video by Bloodrot Talks Does AI Have a Place in Flesh and Blood?

Got a little tired of the arguing on Twitter and here, so I made a video about my thoughts on the issue of GenAI in Flesh and Blood. Please share this around if this issue concerns you, and give it a watch even if you disagree. It's only 16 minutes long.

r4 | D v. Fai
New player's first armory -- we talked a bunch and I outlined what Nuu could do, broadly speaking. Fai got a lot of early damage in and then I managed to tax enough cards out of hand turn over turn to stabilize. Thought I could get lethal but failed; was a solid game!

r2 | bye

r3 | W v. mArakni
Super fun game; was able to do Nuu things and dismantle their hands but they did a great job keeping me marked. (iirc they also didn't know Bonds was still legal in Blitz which definitely felt like it shaped the mu a fair bit.)

r1 | L v. ogPrism
First game for me playing Nuu in paper -- tanked a bunch thinking through lines but opponent was extremely gracious. We ended up going to time and I took the L; while I might've been able to close it in the one turn I kinda doubt it and wanted to reciprocate their kindness besides.

2-1-1 on Nuu (Blitz)

Another great armory experience; on a very shaky list that I really want to refine for skirmish season (rip).

okay so i gotta talk about the situation with the ai generated placeholder art for dromai that james white showed and his reply to the backlash, seeing the community reaction about it i feel that i oughta at least speak up, this might be long

me: making art is difficult. criticism is harsh and cruel.

doctor: treatment is simple, stay away from your worst critics. go spend time by yourself

me, bursting into tears: but doctor,

The Personal, Political Art of Board-Game Design What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

SloopDoop doesn't have a welcoming spirit, he isn't inclusive, he doesn't respect the FaB community.

If SloopDoop truly aligns with the mission and values of LSS, then I don't belong here.

r4 | L v. Briar
Spectra is fair and balanced ;_;
Survived a CMH+FoN turn but never really recovered. Opponent cleaned up Spectra as needed and I had to burn Halo to save life and preserve Spectra, which cost me the possibility of a pivot.

r2 | W v. Ira
Ira value is real, I was able to hit with heralds before getting down to the only point of life that matters (but only just).

r3 | W v. Iyslander
Spectra is fair and balanced :3
Especially when you are running more spectra cards than your opponent is attacks :<

r1 | W v. Zen
Went with the 15 wartunes build; their t0 included a double transcend but otherwise didn't manage to highroll* before I read books and sent damage.

*I had the only point of life that mattered at the end.

The card 'Prism, Advent of Thrones' from the card game Flesh and Blood - a magnet with the text "I support women's rights & wrongs" in a speech bubble has been placed to hold the card in place and look like Prism is saying the text.

3-1 on nuPrism (LL)

First armory in over 2 years; was an absolutely lovely experience jamming games in the flesh and blood.

(image inspired by the events that followed.)

question for the #chicago editors/alt-weekly people:

if i (underground cartoonist with 10+ years working in professional kitchens) were to pitch an illustrated column about #chi restaurants (mostly diners, taqueritas, and other working class staple eateries) i love

who would i send that pitch to?

man it's funny, you show me a little creature with big eyes and I like it fine, that's cute, but it doesn't nearly activate my !!!MUST PROTECT!!! urge as much as "somebody kind of grouchy and messed up who isn't going to accept any help"

AI can pry my em-dashes from my cold dead hands

I felt deeply accepted when I played someone willing to beat the metaphorical stuffing out of me. To not go easy. To show me their true face. There's an intimacy in that, & I felt honoured & grateful. The collaboration of true competition is a rich & rare human experience.

Board states only do this when they're in extreme distress. 😍

I will not buy a(nother) console for a soulslike. 😇

I have been in many lgs' and none are worthy imo.

Understandable, I am now realizing this is going to be a thing I have to be prepared for if I build Mister Bones and I don't know if I have it in me. :<

Same~

I will definitely not be tracking down an 'i support skeleton wrongs' sticker. 😇

You aren't gonna do both?? 😏

They didn't need to do it, but they did it and I'm glad.

'Prism, Awakener of Sol' card art by Livia Prima, poorly cropped and with the text 'That's Our Prism!' added garishly over the artwork as part of a very obtuse reference.
