That's a curious one! I like it! Thanks for that :)

Thanks Eric! I've never quite gotten used to playing boardgames digitally, particularly struggling to love tts. But I'll give BGA a try, thanks!

It's been a lovely welcome so far, love it here! :)

I was surprised to see Tom rate it so highly!
I haven't played the tokc myself yet, but I've heard you guys and many others draw parallels to the Leder games. And I don't recall Tom being a huge fan of any of them.

So if you want, you can now say you've beaten them to the punch ;)

Ah that's lovely, thanks a lot! I'll check out his stuff.

I'm awfully new to the game dev world and I feel like I've somehow fallen into a very deep hole here. But since I'm here, does anyone mind sharing who or what this Clowdus guy is about? It's been the third time this week I see them pop up here on my feed :)

To all game devs, board game devs in particular.
I'm as new as it gets to the game developing world.

Any advice on how to play test existing games without having to purchase all of them?

As in, I'm curious about the market mechanics in 3 games but not the games themselves.

Thanks in advance!

Little late and really only one cat in there. But if you're planning to raise a vicious monster, perch may be fun.

last year at Essen, there was this kid from Holland making a cynical anti capitalist game, "Davos" I think. The game was simple enough, the art was AI but it almost had to be. Playing the game of making a game about playing the game of capitalism. It fit. But thats the only time I ever liked ai art.

Line of the day: hold that thought because I cannot hold the poop.

Seriously, what do they do to teachers in training? Those poor souls drained of all creative will and flexibility.

Can't help but think those cogs won't spin.

Excellent headline @elenagiordano.bsky.social

There's something deeply and satisfyingly revolting about watching - on my work's IG account because I liked the video on my personal one - ai jordan peterson argue that tralalero tralala is universally better than bombardiro crocodilo.

Shark-in-sneakers-backed revolution from within.

We're way too close to 1930. Rise of the far right on a wave of economic hardship, a crumbling center, a fractured opposition.

I've finally written the second ever entry of that newsletter I allegedly write monthly. Had to reflect and vent a bit over recent experiences with the far right in Brussels.

This had me chuckle earlier. Admittedly, it DID include English et. all. above.

I'm surprised how the news are full of trump "letting musk go". Musk is an SGE and as such limited to 130 days of service. He was always going to be let go end of may (if the administration intends to adhere to established regulation safeguarding against conflict of interest and the likes of course)

No, you're right Meta, you absolutely need that data in three months time I understand. It's absolutely right that a chat bot can overwrite my data privacy preferences. That's cool!

Nice #RestlessBrussels planning session today - lots of new faces and new ideas!

I fully sympathize with the decision that a fancy name for the room would be a waste of marketing capacity. "The play place" fits just fine.

On the train to the lovely mess of bxl midi. Meanwhile Liege got FITTED fencing!!

solid job. Congrats! On more holes to come.

@gsvoss.bsky.social At CES, a car is more often a concept intended to carry an idea, than a vehicle to carry actual passengers.

Beautiful. For a while now I've had the feeling the tech we buy is more swiss army knives of visions rather than tools. Filling their pockets for their idea of our future.

I do enjoy thinking of #Queer as the prologue to Daniel Craig's James Bond.

Böhmermann being Böhmermann just this time across the pond. At the NYT at this point he might be preaching to a choir smaller than the one he got at home. But at least he's preaching.
