The Darkest Timeline Last night I tried to work on a new game I’m brainstorming, but it’s really hard to create something for the future when that future looks so grim. I mostly just found myself staring bl…

I read a blog post by @stonemaiergames.com and Jamey indicated that conventions might be one of the better places for some of these companies since they can knock a few middle-men out of the chain. Here's that link, if you're interested: stonemaiergames.com/the-darkest-...

They gotta know when your household bad mouths the orange one. Step one: Identify the resistance

What an amazing night. Right up on the glass. What a game for me and the kids first PWHL game. Hope Detroit is being considered for an expansion franchise!

Thank you, Detroit!

Maybe just increase your water intake. :) veg is veg

This particular company doesn’t do campaign exclusives and they certainly don’t need my loan, so if I end up loving the game I’ll get expansions in retail.

Yeah, he sucks. He did that crap to me on Twitter. Follow. Unfollow. Follow. Unfollow. Repeatedly. I ended up blocking him. Anyone who calls him toxic, he starts playing victim and accusing people of harassment. If he’s here too, I’ll block him immediately. Maybe i already have lol

I saw the ad for murderbot yesterday. I had no idea a show was being made. I haven’t read the entire series but I’ve read several and looking forward to checking this out

I just love when a game I backed is for sale in retail before I even have a shipping label. My backing things has been way down and this will discourage me further.

Really hope the #RedWings sign a defensemen before the trade deadline. Holl may be a great guy, but he just makes me nervous when he's out there. He never looks comfortable. It's like he's always chasing.

I think it's special that this kid from Michigan has gone on to play for his hometown club and play at such a level that he's asked to play for his country on Team USA. He just represents Michigan and the Red Wings so well. I only own a single jersey from the 90's. Maybe I should pick up #71.

I've been a Red Wings fan during some of the best years of our franchise. I've been to watch legends like Yzerman, Lidstrom, Fedorov, Datsyuk, Hasek, Hull, Zetterberg, etc. Got to watch 4 Stanley Cups won. I don't think I've ever been a bigger fan of a captain than I am of Dylan Larkin.

Sounds like a bad design. Instead of being bitter, it should be excited to meet a human it didn't know as well as the other humans. An experience for a new experience.

Did you imagine your co-design would have cosplay? :)

I miss watching all of these players! I’m really happy to still have Larkin around. He deserves a better team around him than he’s had. I’m hoping the tides are turning. I appreciate a hometown boy playing for his home club. #LGRW

I'm feeling that. I was once an open book and now lament the fact that I have probably irrevocably revealed more than I could ever hope to conceal again by being stingy with those details. Though I've definitely reluctantly made my way toward private accounts and small circles.

I was absolutely stunned when my mom’s older sister popped up on Snapchat! I don’t even get Snapchat but my wife and kids use it, so here we are lol

Yeah, I’ll probably start purging data (I know they still have it) but I’ll do an export and slowly back out of the room. My mom is 70 though. I have to keep an eye on what she’s posting. Keep an eye on warming signs etc

Would love if we don’t associate beards with MAGA. My wife would leave me if I shaved. She’s warned me.

You are 100% right. My hesitation is I have people on those platforms that I love, that aren’t willing to leave, that exist there too. I’m torn. I want to just cut ties but there’s still good accompanying the bad.

Eagerly awaiting The Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era. It’s the most expensive campaign I’ve ever backed and my first Chip Theory game aside from 20 Strong. It’s starting to arrive to folks and I’m geeked! I love the Elder Scrolls and the playthroughs look so varied and interesting. Hyped!

Agree! .. Also, reviewers I’m familiar with tend to have a consistency. So
Maybe I disagree with one of them but she says what she doesn’t like and it sounds good to me. That’s valuable! I’m unlikely to know if that BGG β€œ1” is a user I typically dis/agree with.

Some think they are providing a service! There are excited people giving games they’re excited about a 10, so they think they balance the scales. Or they’re upset with the company. It’s petty. I couldn’t care less if a game I don’t like is highly rated. I don’t get their dedication to negativity.
