Since wombat poop is square, I thought it would be nice to have a game where poop dice come out from the wombat's butt...

HELP! I'm looking for a web comic that is very special to me that I can't find again. It was a series of square panels titled "my me", "your you", "your me", "my you", "my us", "our us", etc. They depicted how the artist and their partner viewed each other. Do you know the artist? Please share 🙏🏽💖

Just finished watching Mo season 2 on Netflix. Ya Allah, I think this show was made to destroy me specifically. The last episode made me go from incontrollable laughter, to longing for my roots, to deep frustration, to crying for my siblings in the span of 5 minutes. It was so good for my soul.

Sitting down and putting stuff to paper is one of the hardest task possible for me right now. Despite that, there's a tabletop game that I *do* have motivation to write — but it will be completely untranslatable to English. Only playable in French.

A giant mecha but piloted by your Arab uncle who used to be a taxi driver. He's killing aliens while blasting raï music at maximum volume. He does his own repairs with cheap car parts, and none of the engineers understand how its still running. He replaced the Coalition symbol with the Algerian flag

Horror synopsis, inspired by way too real events: there's a terf in your local improv group and she feels "unsafe" each time you play a female character 💀

French speakers: The Collectif Mauvaises Herbes is about to start their afternoon of talks about the making of alternative video games, outside the industry. The speakers there are always top notch, go take a look ✨

I find it so frustrating when a speaker introduces someone with a non-English name and precedes it by "I'm going to butcher your name, lmao" as if it was a joke. You cared so little about your guest that you did not take the time to learn how to say their name? And you're bragging about it? 🤨

Designing a silent cooperative board game (eg. The Mind, Hanabi, Mandamina) is fascinating because they rely on dynamics I've rarely seen in video games. Antagonistic board games often ask players to find an optimal move, which relies on their ability to create an abstract mathematical model. 1/n
