If there was ever a time to go on strike, it's now. Massive, autocratic power grab by Trump: www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/98...

Overall, #VacuumTCG has rules similar to Magic's, but simplified enough for ease of learning without sacrificing depth. The biggest change is the addition of the Reposition Step at the end of your turn, where you can move your cards to new quadrants, potentially triggering Assignment effects.

If RFK Jr. makes my meds illegal I and like a fifth of the country will *literally* be very angry.

Ok the internet is definitely exploding today. And not because of Elon, funnily enough, but because of Goku.

The other unique component I put into the #VacuumTCG, later in the #gamedev process, were Tide cards. These have a polarizing filter, so if you spin them with the Launcher, and you're wearing the cardboard polarizing glasses, it looks like the card is flashing in and out of visibility!

Who likes cool #lore? Everybody, so I'm gonna start sharing the bits I have for my #VacuumTCG. Each color of card and its attached faction in the game's universe has a different answer to the fundamental question many works of science fiction ask: What does it mean to be a person? #gamedev

So apparently Hasbro has decided to double-down on ruining D&D if this job opening is anything to go by: jobs.hasbro.com/job/Renton-P...

It's about time I shared more on one of my best projects, the #VacuumTCG. Sheer spite at how badly Hasbro was treating #magicthegathering inspired me to make a better game, and this is the patent-pending toy for it that's supposed to hook players. It spins cards with a suction cup!

Growing Goddess, my #giantess card game, is now released, and it's playable online! Gentle, cruel, giga, it's all here in the form of smutty snippets on every action and ability card! thought-prism-games.itch.io/growing-godd...

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

At this point I'm wondering if this is the best possible time to be doing #gamedev work since folks need distractions or the worst possible time since there are other things I could be doing to help.

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

In hindsight trying to add a balatro-esque multiplicative scoring system to a co-op tabletop game with minimal tweaks wasn't my best idea. Way too much math when you have other people sitting there waiting. #gamedev

Banning porn (with the definition of porn left vague and open on purpose) is always about carving out exemptions to the first amendment. One you've got exceptions, it's easy to make more and more and more.

People keep telling me that the local government weapons factory is always hiring and I keep telling them I would rather die in the street. Unemployment is always better than working an evil job.

We actually have good news for once: Thunderbolt Fantasy S4 is finally up on Crunchyroll! You have no excuse anymore, go watch it, show is goated.

Last night at my LGS I suffered the opposite problem, as usual. Lots of people to try my games, but none of them ever actually *want* to. Sometimes they take a business card. I mean, I still keep going because trying new games is fun, but like, come on, why can't someone humor me? #gamedev
