The opening mission statement of the new CEO to bring Xbox back makes a bit more sense now in retrospect.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue comes home carrying a massive box on top of his head. Blue: Check out this board game I got for us! Green: It's huge! Once the box is opened, Blue reads the rule book that was inside. Inspecting the game pieces, Green is halfway in the box himself. Blue: The rules are vast, but at least they're clearly written. Several hours later, the foxes sit next to the box, with a partially set tabletop game in front of them. Both of them look visibly exhausted. Blue is reading out loud from the rule book, while Green is laying on his back on the floor. Blue: ...And in the 28th step of the reconstruction phase, you recalculate the storage capacity... Blue looks up from the book, and Green tilts his head slightly to look at him. Blue: I think I need an eight hour nap. Green: It's 9 pm.

As someone commented, this is the principal equivalent of jury nullification.

Just finished this book. Phenomenal stuff!

One of the secrets to genuinely enjoying (playing/making) games is to not be transphobic.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Y'all might remember I played and loved Stories from Sol a while back and I cannot speak highly enough of it. If you have any love at all for adventure games, visual novels, and classic anime, check it out. It's such a fun PC98-drenched sci-fi mecha ride.

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.”

But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

To the surprise of no one... I love Mewgenics.

The combat AND cat breeding/gifting mechanics.

I did not intend that to rhyme but stopping would be a crime.

Turning this into a limerick would up the antics.

one of my favorite things about Hard Wired Island is that we didn't state where the meteor landed, but half the people who read it are convinced it landed on Quebec

Today, my job is to make a weird and dangerous sport for Scoundrels to play in Blades '68 when they don't want to risk their lives in the normal ways.

If anyone needs me, I'll be watching Rollerball.

A spread from the Crews chapter of Blades '68. On the left, the word CREWS is bold, tall type with illustrations of five neatly-dressed people walking in a line. On the right, the first page of Crew Creation with a list of the crew types: Dealers, Hit Squad, Militants, Racers, Shadows, and Utopians.

Blades '68 launches tomorrow!

First Rule of Blades '68:
There will be no mention of The Forbidden Touchstone.

Coming Soon: Blades '68, for Blades in the Dark From Evil Hat - Coming Soon: Blades '68, for Blades in the Dark

Blades '68 is one of those games that I want to play just because of how cool it looks. I just want to have reason to look up stuff in these rules: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

That time Phineas and Ferb co-creator Jeff “Swampy” Marsh played the Duck of Doom…

…on me.

Polaroid photos of a Black femme person with big curly hair, a white man in a trenchcoat with a cigarette, an older white man with a beard, a young white person with long brown hair, and a black and white photo of a woman in a cowboy hat. Over the images, like a torn piece of paper, is D.U.M.

We’re LIVE! 🔴

We’re live with another episode of the Department of Unsolved Mysteries (D.U.M.).

Time to solve a MURDER. We might have the perp. Things are intense.
