What about you? Was it cool meeting fans? We're there games that stood out to you?

Wanted to share some games with my family. Got to do that so it was a success. Also wanted to teach hubworld aidalon to some people, got to do that too. Bought origin story. Got to play nokosu dice. Got to demo blood. Met up with some people from last year. Played slime artist, bought it directly.

I feel bad man. I looked for the game in the app to find the booth, but didn't see it. I hope you had a great spiel!

You are so right. This is so wild. The country claims to have christian values (in fact they are values shared by essentially all religions: don't be a dick).

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Mamdani's speech is so good I'm afraid he's gonna do drone strikes.

omg, that is hilarious. (as in I think your joke is really funny and poignant! not as in I think your take is really bad.)

Taylor reiner is at the spiel??

@earthbornegames.bsky.social fwiw, saw a copy of Lure of the Valley and Legacy of the Ancestors for sale in one of the halls. It wasn't with a publisher but with one of those booths selling all kinds of different games.

You're here!! Sweet!!

@nopunincluded.com if you are at the spiel and want someone to show you Hubworld:Aidalon, I snuck some in.

Almost to the spiel Messe in Essen. If you wanted to play @earthbornegames.bsky.social upcoming Hubworld: Aidalon, I brought my preview decks. I will be here all 4 days. May even try to convert some runners.

Portland has fallen!

How Useful is the UFC's Free Speech Model? When the UFC allows a fighter to post Nazi propaganda on social media, but bans journalists for critical reporting, the 'free speech' policy producing this outcome isn't worth much.

I wrote about why the UFC allows one of its fighters to go unpunished in sharing Nazi propaganda on social media but bans journalists for critical reporting and calls the entire thing "free speech": lthomas.substack.com/p/ufcs-free-...

Thank you. I love that you use your voice for this. I feel like you built a platform for yourself where you can be successful with only access to a videos of the fights. They can't stop the quality of your analysis.

I get a Braun beard trimmer ad... Interesting.

I hate when people react to the phrase "toxic masculinity" as if it means "masculinity is toxic." is there only 1 way to be masculine? Come on now folks.

People forget about her and the beginning of cancel culture. (There is a difference between going after people for who they are vs trying to get people to be held accountable for voicing heinous beliefs.)

sic semper tyrannis

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

One time I was playing (electric) guitar (can you see where we are headed) and my fretting hand started to feel tingley. Turns out there _is_ a difference between the grounded and ungrounded input jack... too bad they aren't labelled. 7/10 would recommend.

seconded.

So. I legitimately hope you succeed and don't hurt yourself. That being said, I have accidentally electricuted myself a couple times and it was a bit fun. So ... I wish that for you too should you so choose it.

And I hope you don't get burned, burns aren't fun.

@hankgreen.bsky.social shot in the dark, you ever looking for card games? Saw you were into magic, have you heard of netrunner? Or any of the emergent narrative games?

LOL!!! I totally forgot that was john!!!!

@themountaingoats.bsky.social Listening to Jenny from Thebes. Your work is endlessly moving.

I love seein Aes and John in the same list of names.

@afischergames.bsky.social speaking of the narrative structure of the campaign(s), do they form a quiver representation? Why or why not?
