Board game doc THE HOBBY: TALES FROM THE TABLETOP will release in Canadian theaters June 20! (streaming to follow.) I'm gonna go on a little tour with them in June. Details to come! The pull quote "A beautiful look at the meaningful pursuit that is board gaming" is spot on.

Had plans to buy Daggerheart but it’s $200 at my LGS so I guess that will have to wait 😭

Going to cons and getting to talk to actual adults about fandom related things is just more proof that most people know how to be normal and that online fandom is not real life

Last year almost every poster I saw outside for festivals and plays was made using genAI. Today I could only spot a single one between ten. Keep talking down on AI tech bros, keep being loud, keep making it as EMBARRASSING and SHAMEFUL as possible to use this tech, because it is genuinely working! ✊

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Currently in the process of being abandoned by the Holiday Inn shuttle for the second time but I did get some cute selfies in front of the anime wall

Propaganda I won’t be falling for: IMAX Film Auteurism Non alcoholic drinks costing the same as alcoholic drinks People talling me 'Gnarly' is a good song Morning Sheds AI Video (or AI anything) People aganist bike lanes Unpaid internships Alo Fandom Discourse

Even if you're not applying for a job a great way to feel really good about yourself is to get people to send you letters of recommendation. Needed a couple for a thing I'm applying for next week and both of them came in today. Reading them made the day slightly more bareable

Being fully aware of your shit mental health is always weird because you can rationalize every thing and all you’re feelings when you’re going through an episode as being something your brain makes up because of your bad mental health and yet can’t do anything about feeling like shit

Who has print ready, zine-sized (20-70 pages) games they want to see printed? Plus One Exp and Zine Club are looking for games that are ready for print for us to keep in the pocket for Zine Club releases and to sell at Conventions like #GenCon, #PAXUnplugged, and more! If interested send a DM!

If you’ve ever given me a little trinket at a con know that it has a spot on my trinket shelf

@claruspolaris.bsky.social and I officially started planning #HeroesWithoutBorders 2 today! Our biggest charity event yet is coming this Nov-Dec and we are gonna need help to pull it off! #TTRPG peeps hit me up if you’re down to roll dice for a good cause or if you can help behind the scenes!

And in an unexpected twist, it turns out the most punk rock things of all are supporting public broadcasting and patronizing your local library and not cheating on your homework with AI

Advocating for your rights in the workplace

I feel like no team should be losing a play off final hockey game by 5 points

Watching the Leafs game and trying to make myself feel better off of the fact that some people in Toronto are definitely having a significantly worse night then I am
