Been making a board game. It's called "Tobermory" and here's some progress photos from the very first outline to some placeholder art.
It's a trick-taker where:
* You draw tiles with modifiers on them
* On land, highest card wins. At sea, lowest does
*You usually retain your cards for both stages

Mad they are doing all this men's World Cup draw and the winners haven't even qualified for it yet.

Hate it when that happens to me
Toad fell into the pond. He sank to the bottom and came up again.
“Drat,” said Toad. “All of our sweet, cold ice cream has washed away.”

I'd love to talk to them/you if so!

This is an excellent piece about the perils of AI art broadly, and within our hobby more specifically. If we reach the point where AI art is found in every board game, I will stop playing and writing about board games. Simple as that.
Over the last month, I've been working on this essay about the use of AI art in board games, "Is This Really What We Want?" Though it is contextually specific, it is also a reflection of my wider thoughts on the use of AI art and writing in creative contexts.

Damn it. Idlewild supporting MCR is a choice. I am very happy about it though. Need to get a ticket now.

Our Swedish pal thought our childcare was reasonable at £1000, until she realised we were talking about per month, not year.
Imagine looking at Scandinavian models of social democracy from Britain and picking out cruel immigration policies as the big source of inspiration.

Just had a dominos ad pop up during that Metroid Prime 4 gameplay video and it wasn't the most jarring out of place thing that happened during it.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
