So satellites make streaks on astronomical images..Time lapse images that are handled by a computer..A computer that could just take out the offending pixels and composite using "clean" images only.
So like, streaks? Kind of a bummer and maybe fun to bitch about, but like, this program is solvable.

All of a sudden reddit thinks I really care about the Alien and Predator franchises. What did I click on?

I have complicated thoughts about debating crackpots. It can appear to elevate them to legitimacy, but if we don't dunk on them they can grow and fester out of our sight until they become septic (see: RFK Jr. and anti-vaxxers in general).

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly

Nah, seems a bit half-baked.

Theme is not just the setting. It's the reason behind the rules.

Theme grabs the player's emotions, Mechanisms engage with their cogitation.

If an element is in the player's hand or central to their decisions, theme can be distracting. Try to use the shared board area and pieces to convey theme.

What actor or actress would you watch in anything, no matter what?

I am jazzed to see that you used the better dice [012234] for Animal Rescue Team!

Congrats on everything. Sounds like a fun and rewarding trip!

Since this releases tomorrow (in the UK, US will be 12/30), I’m going to use the long break during Concentration Check to do a reading, why not?

Join us at 1:30 pm PT if you want to get done work done (and 3:30 if you just want to hear a creepy #Runescape story)

Superman with a lot of dialogue, though I think it might be John Byrne writing his own dialogue here, hoist by his own petard etc

Comics artists who work with writers, I am doing a class for young comics writers and I would like to include some ANONYMOUS quotes from artists about things they hate getting in scripts. More "17-panel pages and cross dialogue" than "horses and bicycles". My DMS are open. SECRECY ASSURED.

It would be fun to see you there again!

She has it exactly backwards. The domestic deployments to date are a much weaker case for being so manifestly illegal as to justify refusal; that's a high bar. The boat strikes are outright unambiguous murder, everyone in that chain down to the one pulling the trigger has had a clear duty to refuse.

Another successful #BGG.CON!

Ran a few panels (thanks Sarah Shipp!) and assisted on a couple more (thanks @wericmartin.bsky.social !), outlasted 95% of the competition in the poker tournament, took a side trip to Meow Wolf, and tried out a few more games from my must-play list.

It was a blast!

Barely made it to #BGGCON. Let's hang out!

Don't steal. Don't lie about anything important. Don't let yourself be overcome by hate. Try to be peaceful; try to be good.

Thank goodness I'm already all caught up on Bluey.

Ooh, this is fun! B batteries are like these fat little things between an A (which also aren't used anymore) and a C, but all modern EVs run on what is essentially stacks of 100s and 100s of B batteries in a, uh, grid (the grid is actually called a battery since it's a bunch of cells put together.)

So the lesson of America's past decade or so is that we probably shouldn't elect people who have never, ever held the moral high ground on any issue.

The Epstein emails definitely are incriminating for Donald Trump and other high-profile figures, but they are arguably more incriminating for the multiple journalists at national publications who didn't just not print important news but also directly ask the people involved what they wanted

Crime is bad. Crime is bad. Crime is bad.

So when are those Epstein files coming out?

Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them.

I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.

I am excited to be coordinating a couple panels about game design at #BGG.CON in two weeks. I'm new to this so it's kind of an adventure. Wish me luck!

My test to see if I’m sick or just drained:

‘Maybe I’ll take a break and play some borderlands.’

Drained: yeah, that sounds good
Sick: oh god, that sounds like work

So, yeah, I seem to be sick.

BGG.CON in two weeks, hoping to throw together a couple panels, and surprised/annoyed to find that several text chains with designers went missing from my phone. Or I'm just crazy.

If you're going and want to be on a design panel, hit me up.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

It’s always fun (and just a bit weird) when something I designed at my kitchen table gets explained in a language I do not speak to people I will never meet. I love that my games get to travel so far.
