@edenporter.bsky.social I remember Amazing. 😀 You're not alone.

But what did Shannon want in that moment when she'd already been through a moment of personal embarrassment? A small kindness, like a hug. I thought it was cold. I still love Sage on the show though.

@shannongaitz.bsky.social I agree with you and Peter about the hug. Having just got everything she wanted, Sage could have conceded a little by being gracious in victory. She acted like she was doing Shannon a favour by not giving her a fake hug.

Where's the ball? Where is it? 🐶

Wandering Galaxy, because we need to meet up with interstate friends to play it.

Blood on the Clocktower because my group is on hiatus but I really enjoy it.

Earthborne Rangers solo, but I need to find the time.

@mjdart.bsky.social, Nelly, Katie, and I have started watching Severance and they're liking it! Am I redeemed? Severance, the redeemer?

Ouch. As a Cats fan, this helps explain why this season has felt disappointing. We've played well in many games, but unfortunately not good enough for long enough. Great stat though.

okay turns out there will be a video essay, probably for the one after what I'm working on presently, because I FOUND THE DESIGNER

HE'S STILL ALIVE

I AM INTERVIEWING HIM

HE GAVE ME A LIST of 50+ BOARD GAMES IN ADDITION TO THE 3 HE'S CURRENTLY CREDITED WITH

Sorry I didn't run around with you in the backyard today Bunyip. It was too hot for it.

Looks like another time lapse video opportunity.

It was on the web and through every other link I tried.

Thank you, but I managed to get hold of someone who fixed the links. I can't even remember how I did it now. I think maybe I commented on the website post. I think I was the finale!

Ah a TCG. Not really my thing but thanks for the answer. I'm always here for what you're playing.

Wow, good on you. I haven't finished it yet, but already this is great. I'm sure this will help a lot of people. Look after yourself.

YouTube video by Matthew Dunstan The reality of being a full time game designer

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that.

One of my favourite things to do is watch YouTube videos of musicians geek out about Radiohead. Particularly In Rainbows. I've watched so many.

@shannongaitz.bsky.social I finally cleared my podcast queue and listened to your new one. It was entertaining!

Q&A question: What's the card game you mentioned Peter is playing a lot with @myleskuah.bsky.social ? I might have hyper-focused on the fleeting tabletop reference.

Glad to hear he's got your vote of confidence (for now).

Michael and I are so back for Survivor (US) Season 49. I'm still getting used to the new (to me) host, Jeff, but I think he's gonna be alright:

This holding the ball rule is garbage. No one wants to pick up the ball. Reward the people trying to make the play. #aflw #afl

So many people have recommended this documentary to me that I'm going to pass on the recommendation to you before I've even gotten a chance to see it.

Really enjoyed it, thank you!

Is this all games, not just finals? Just the 39th ever? I think I'm misreading something.

We're going to be busy for the next few weeks but let's try to do it one day.

I've never actually played a Lacerda. And wonder how often I'd actually get them played. But I am curious.

Oh you have Galactic Cruise as well! Or did I forget that? Those are some chunky games you've got there.

It looks like one of those boxes designed to specifically fit a Kallax.
