Quick reintroduction - I design board games. I've made a lot of games, and two of them might actually come out next year!
Ask me about my prototypes!
A solo puzzle campaign game? I have that! Choose your own adventure with legal backtracking? Yep!
City builder on a connect four board? Boy howdy!

Anyone have opinions on Seance of Blake Manor? Seems like my jam but maybe a little too on rails to be a satisfying puzzle?

Mamdani is going to implement Sha-Na-Na Law. Based in the sensibilities of the 50s but incongruously showing up at Woodstock.

Anytime know of an expert in folk monsters/cryptids for a (hopefully) quick paid consultation?
I am mainly looking for stuff like 'this monster began as/has become a thinly veiled racial slur, probably don't use it' and to avoid the Rising Sun 'Kotahi' situation :)

Pluribus is really good, but did they have to make the major viral infection vector 'chemtrails'?

These justices should never again have a dinner out where their food is not spit on.
They should be jeered any time they are in public.
Utter disgrace.

It is remarkable how much better ALDI cashiers are than other grocery cashiers. Someone should start measuring their SAR (Scans Above Replacement)

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

You know, Milwaukee is the only American city to have elected three socialist mayors.
Also, “Milwaukee” is from “mili wau kay,” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

Y’all. Not only can Mamdani do it, socialist mayors have done it effectively for decades before.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In perhaps the least watched race yesterday, Beachwood again curbstomped upstarts for school board and city council shouting about fiscal responsibility. They got 10%.
Yeah, we built a 3 million $ playground in a small town. You know what? It's an awesome playground. Constantly packed with kids.

Never forget that “do you support spending more money to help poor people” polls incredibly high; while “do you support more spending on welfare” polls incredibly low. Despite being the same thing.
It’s like 75-80% For on the first, 20-25% on the other.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
