36/192 done today. These technically need a bit more writing, but that's convenience writing rather than mandatory. A little sneak at the locations that will fill the worlds the Explorer's visit.

If we get someone convicted and sent to Shawshank and we get to see Tom Hanks pissing in a gratuitous cameo, I'll watch.

Otherwise, a little mill action ain't got me.

I like to write an art description, or just draw something myself. Obviously, I'm not an artist, but I can doodle something that at least evokes my intent. If you're not at the art stage, basically anything works. Hell, test without art. If you're at the selling stage without art, no you aren't!

Gear 2 still good at least. Also, this confirms Doffy is at least purple. Makes the leaks seem more likely.

Damn though, that party was kind of ass.

The real horror is John Hambone telling me to do it big with BetMGM and spend 10k on one roll at the roulette table.

Don't do this to me, Johnny Boy.

With respect to the labor and passion of everyone involved, I could not be any colder at the concept of an IT prequel series. I see and feel absolutely no worthwhile hook here. Hopefully, it's good, and people like it, but these ads aren't selling me at all.

I have him burned into my mind as the dad from the No End House season of Channel Zero.

Especially if it's actually John Carroll Lynch himself.

Trying to remember if I've seen this. As vaguely as possible, does a baseball bat play into this movie?

Knocked out 12 of these in the hour or so I was working. At that rate, I've got about 16 hours of work ahead of me, but plenty of the cards in the set are much easier to write with shorter and/or more concise text. Going to knock out a hunk tonight, too.

I'll continue to vague post spoilers.

As an aside, I hand write these because it makes it easier for me to catch and fix weird errors and consistency things as I go. Like saying "Location" and then there's a card in my notebook that says "land". Also, I much prefer the feel of it.

Call it progress because I'm getting things done. 6/192 transcribed to frame. Pitiful, really, but I'm just glad to be back at it.

Hopefully, get this done and then some playtesting. We'll, copies, cutting, sleeving, then playtesting.

Okay, rulebook first.

Ayn Rand was right! The charity of the wealthy will come naturally and solve all of societies problems!!!!

Jesus, what a nightmare we're living in. Gotta wonder how this person is making money off of this.

The whole thing has big "My newest creation, I call it the videod Board Game!" energy. Real, I hate games, but would like them if they were made by AI instead of the woke game development people, type of posting.

Just absolutely absurd unless you haven't played a game since Pong.

I would be fine with a dream logic rail shooter with a light gun interface, but that's tech we already have, and the final product would surely be better than this.

AI not even being able to make a competent COD ripoff isn't a surprise, but damn, they want to sell people, and this is their sample?

New Altered Corner just dropped. I listened last night, but a good episode. Nice to get some thoughts on the switch to Gamefound. Excited to hear them revisit the topic now that everything is revealed.

Ernest Cline should write Ready Player 3, but it's about Wade having to win a 3v3 Basketball tournament. All the references can be to Space Jam, Coach Carter, Like Mike, Hoop Dreams, Above the Rim, White Men Can't Jump, Hoosiers, and the NBA Video Game series.

He can retcon Space Jam 2s existence.

Yeah. It's such a tell that they need AI to be a wholly revolutionary paradigm shifting success. Which is true, because if it doesn't change everyone, then it's not worth the cost. These companies are hemorrhaging money to let people generate pictures of kittens drinking coffee? House of cards.

My hair is at the right length that if I suddenly went bald in the front, I'd have the exact same haircut as Lynch in Kane and Lynch.

What I'm saying is that I'm living a very dangerous haircut.

I always think it's funny that pro-ai people do seem to address the works of AI as sacred and profane, yet have no respect for the profundity of the material that LLMs have to gobble up to imitate the work of the human mind.

You'll see at the top the Rare Grand Endeavor. Had built in removal resistance and draws you a card every other turn with Zhen in addition to just keeping you moving. Removal package is not perfect. Need to test. We don't go as wide as Sigismar so Teamwork Training is worse here.

Will test soon.
