This is the single coolest pin board I've ever seen. Shout out to a fellow Paxtronaut who put a lot of imagination and wicked awesome design.

Pinboards I made for my PAX Pinny Arcade pins collection — an arcade machine to match the Penny Arcade/PAX theme, and a claw machine (fittingly filled with cats), complete with a movable claw! They are in PAX AUS colour acrylic + deep black velour. @cwgabriel.bsky.social

Two pinboards, one in the shape of an arcade machine and the other a claw machine. Each pinboard is covered in black velour material, and mustard yellow acrylic to create the shape of the arcade and claw machines.

A close up picture of the claw from a claw machine on a pinboard. It is mustard yellow on a black background, with flying Kemper and cookie cat pins.

Some of my friends are saying that they think Silksong is harder than Hollow Knight. I don't find that to be true. For example. when playing Hollow Knight, it took me SEVERAL tries to defeat Hornet. While I'm playing Silksong, Hornet is getting defeated ALL THE TIME!

My kiddo kept saying I should play this, so I actually just finished my first run of Undertale last night.

Geek at Arms @geekatarms.bsky.social · Jul 23

This game has so much promise. Can't wait to see how it develops

Was pretty bummed that I got sick and had to miss out on a father-child day at Connecticon. But at least kiddo got to go, and her Hornet cosplay turned out amazing. Really proud of what a good job she did.

This is a strongly thematic game with a narrative drive with multiple endings. It's a significantly higher weight game than the price point implies. If you like longer gametimes, strong art, and sweeping adventure themed play, this is definitely for you.

When I have a 20 year old young lady passionately reccomending to me (a middle aged male) a Transformers comic, I feel like life has come full circle.

Good times.

Looks like quite the update since my last look.

If I'm in the office and even think I'm coming down with a cold, I wear a mask. People ask about it. I tell them, "I'm here to spread joy, not disease." "

Thinking about printing some of these and doing trinket trading at #Connecticon. I'm happy with the prototype. Now to fine tune.

A great look at how West End Game's Star Wars RPG from the 80's and 90's is still shaping Star Wars today.

West End Games' Classic 'Star Wars' RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe

The venerable tabletop game is still shaping the galaxy far, far away—not just for the Easter eggs canon pulls from it, but its tone in creating new 'Star Wars' stories.

We have a wonderful new Roll For Shoes adventure in our Codswallop and Poppycock feed. Bryan GMs an unlikely away team to solve a mystery on a space station. Hilarity and zaniness ensue. Recorded many moons ago, check out my first exposure to Roll For Shoes.
