Czech Games Edition asks for "empathy" amid Harry Patter board game backlash The board game publisher has received swathes of criticism online since announcing its new Codenames spin-off, Back to Hogwarts.

The Codenames story is also on @wargamer.com

It's spread so wide. And so many people are being very stalwart and supportive. I hope Czech Games can see that this isn't anger, it's disappointment. And they can still fix it. They can still do the right thing.

Good news: I have been contacted by and am currently sharing guidelines and expectations with a representative of CGE.

Let’s hope they can make this right in their next statement. 🎲✂️

Looking

That is a very cute case. Was the case the clincher when it came to the choice of phone? 😀 Would be warranted.

Can't wait!

Well, let's not get carried away. 😛

I regret not talking to you more about games last week. But there was other stuff going on!

Australia apparently has had some of the weakest fuel standards in the developed world.

For now.

Congratulations!

Oh my goodness. I hope your devices and your patience hold out. Count your blessings, I guess. But very tiring.

Hope you arrived ok! Sounds awful.

It would be a pretty long watch if you've played it before. Also, seems like there's a few different routes to reach the conclusion so if you ever planned to play again you might still be spoiled. We also haven't played again to see if there's more post-game.

Ben, Nelly and I finished our collective playthrough. He just hasn't put the last video up yet. It was the first time we'd done something like that together which was cool.

For the vast majority of games we buy and share with others, you're absolutely right. But at the same time I think many people are consuming media wishfully seeking a new favourite game. Mine is Spirit Island, and replayability and variability are a huge part of why I love it.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Perhaps relevant to your interests.

I'm sorry you were hurt.

I spent the last 2 days on Capitol Hill with @gamaofficial.bsky.social and @ttgda.bsky.social, asking for tariff relief. Sixteen of us collectively had dozens of meetings and drop-bys with Congressional staff. We heard over & over that it makes a difference to hear from their constituents. 1/ 🧵

Youch.

Quite a collection!

Have you played any before or these are the first? I've watched Paula Deming play a couple but not tried them myself.

@mirggles.bsky.social @pumpkinberry.tv @acornbandit.bsky.social Hi there! I've belatedly been loving your Dark podcast. Thank you! There are a few episodes I can't download. I've just skipped them until now, but I've just realised "The End is the Beginning"is missing. Any chance this is fixable? Ta

My favourite Radiohead.

When are they going to invent some new challenges? They've leaned heavily on "classic" ones for too long, don't you think?

I did! Haven't watched that yet though. We dropped Binge a while back so haven't seen any UK or NZ for a while. I assume it's there?

Yeah, I think Rose is really funny. I think that might have been the last one we watched actually.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social On Taskmaster, don't overthink there being so many seasons. Just pick one and start. Doesn't matter which. Or find a comedian you like from this link and look that season up. It's easy viewing. You'll probably discover new comedians you enjoy. www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster...

Sounds awfully like Fresco. You must have watched a video of it.

If it's up your alley the RHAP crew would probably love to have you on board.

Let me know if you ever want to try the game out separately though. I run a weekly online game with friends.

Very entertaining seeing familiar characters play in a social deception game. There's some pretty funny moments. It's basically a whodunnit logic game, but it encourages a bit of chaos which I think you'd enjoy. And it was developed in Australia!
