fresh outta gen con, here's a pangolin hacker board game review

(PWNED!)

Games at cons? Hilarious

That's a wrap on Gen Con! If I got to see you, it was lovely, and if I didn't see you, hopefully I'll catch you at PAXU! Unfortunately I overestimated my energy and needed to rest haha.

Until next time!, I said, logging off of social media for an indeterminate period of time. ❤️

Most ridiculously depressing thing today was someone who came up to our booth asking if we were selling a game. We were not, because we don't make that game! (And no, not Asmodee). Why did he think this? He showed phone with Gemini stating "Asmadi Games, producers of [game X], bla bla bla"
(1/2)

"I asked ChatGPT"

Why not instead ask me instead over a nice glass of amontillado, I have a cask in my basement if you'll just follow me

This one did make me laugh

Truly something else

The Marios

There's a sims game here so I'm worried they'd pull the ladder out on me

A stack of three brick blocks inside of a desolate and sterilized hotel lobby.

You ever just see a hotel go too hard for Gen Con?

What's next, dice?

Yeah I need to hang out with y'all more anyways. ❤️

Yes please!

Temporarily ending social media cleanse for Gen Con shenanigans. Going back off once Gen Con is done though.

See you in Indy if you're around!

our buds at Kovray suggest Just One and So Clover!

This means that even if you share CGE's "sentiment about this universe", your money goes directly to hurting trans people when you do this. It's not even hard to see the connections.

but for fuck's sake if you still can't help yourself, at least consider other, similar games that you can play

gotta say, when you can't even name the thing or the person that's ... something!

let's make it easy:

1) HP author really doesn't like trans people
2) HP author explicitly states that buying HP stuff (like HP codenames) is an endorsement of her viewpoint
3) HP author funds anti-trans legislation

Happily returning to social media to really emphasize to y'all that buying or supporting anything HP-related in 2025 is "wild" on the anti-trans scale.

Esp. now, the trans community deserves so much more than your indifference.

Also, Harry Potter Codenames? Come on.

Anyways byeeee
