Professional cartographer; semi-professional board game designer. My latest game is Hits & Outs『ヒット&アウト』released by itten at Tokyo Game Market 2025.
Having four Dragon Warrior/Quest games on the NES is impressive as well. It'd be interesting to know how long it takes to speed run the six MM games in comparison to the four DW games. I think Dragon Warrior I is the only game from that series that I completed in one sitting.

A good marketing person would've included a link to the campaign! 😅

Me: I design board games.
Them: Haven't all the games already been made?
Me: I'm also a professional cartographer.

And a digital counter as well. That way you can award a plaque to the plaque when it passes 100,000 flushes.

Since Taiwan and Finland do not have formal diplomatic relations, he is referred to as Representative rather than Ambassador, although he is the highest-ranking official at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (their de facto embassies and consulates). Still a great ambassador!

It's a memory game for kids, but it's not originally Japanese!

I was hoping to find the Scottish UFO researcher with whom I share a name, but this will do.

And somehow, still less frightening than Woody.

Neither glock or glockenspiel will protect you when Woody appears in your back yard.

I got as far as typing "Hero Adv" and it showed up as the first result. But that might be me living in Brazil and having a few Portuguese-language games on Steam.

Well, not often, but the rare time that I follow-up on a lackluster review or comment, it's almost invariably because one or both players willfully decided to ignore this rule. It'd be like the famous "battle of wits" scene from The Princess Bride, but if neither of them knew where the poison was.

I recently reinforced the key rule in my baseball game Hits & Outs because some people have been deliberately choosing to ignore it, even though the rules are clear that it's not optional. They justify it by saying that they don't like bluffing, or are not well-versed enough to make smart decisions.

Thank you for reminding me that my amazing wife is in the 5% -- she left her well-paying, high-ranking government job of almost 20 years to pursue her dream of a career in comedy.
