These ones are usually free to use, but his OEM branded stations pay him a vig 🤷🏼‍♂️

All the time I spent in The Boundary Bar while in Edinburgh was worth it of its own accord, but I'm glad it's also paying delayed dividends (getting this joke)

No thank you, I would NOT like to update the most impactful and complex underlying frameworks at the same time as a few point-wise trivialities…? I have rails pinned to ~> 7.2 and it's trying to update to 8!

Of course the proper response to a question like that is "Be my guest, you fucking dork."

Interesting angle, I like it 🤔

Finally some five dimensional chess actually on display.

Jury’s still out on whether money can buy happiness, but seems clear at this point it can’t buy brains.

He’s such a disappointment as a senator. So frustrating that the caucus/assembly process and state party machine mulched them all out for the least offensive/least exciting option ☹️

Have to have bought it at least before 2018 when he called the cave rescue diver a “pedo guy” for refusing to buy his stupid submarine thing to credibly wear that bumper sticker, IMO

As an Ann Arbor expat and sci fi nerd I understand most of these words but I cannot make sense of the sentence 👀

I’ve been noodling for a while on developing a “Musk Gullibility Index”, a score measuring a person’s credulity based on which debacle finally led a person to realize he’s actually a dumbass.

The Battlestar expansion that adds the Airlock. After I'd played with that, I find The Brig from the base game to be a boring lose-a-turn mechanism. It adds experiential and thematic benefit of being both more aggressive (you're KILLING another player!) and yet less impactful on that player's fun.

This is a big fear I have that, assuming we survive this as a general rule-of-law democracy, all these creeps will claim that the Roberts Doctrine gives them all immunity because they were “official acts at the behest of the president” or some shit.

This feels like the existential divide in our country right now 😳

Do you want it to *feel* like a headwind for the leader or a tailwind for those falling behind? That’s the first question I usually ask myself.

Something I could play confidently end to end with friends who aren’t also designers. And/or something I would feel good about booking time with a Pub to pitch for licensing.

Hmmm, will reading this inspire me to finally dust off and complete this board game design I shelved years ago? 🤔 woodar.dj/valour/ Seems like it's worth a try! How do I buy/preorder??

Oh dang! I keep seeing this float by my feed… Elliot did a guest post for my blog many years ago: woodar.dj/blog/px-8-fe...

have you ever balanced one on top of a cup of hot coffee/tea to let the heat melt the gooey insides 👀

I bet Gambit is really good at throwing pennies to stick in the foam underbelly of the Pathfinder 🥸

Or User Experience! What do I need from a rulebook under the pressure of four friends over looking for a rules clarification? Make it easy to reference, the back page of a booklet is gold in terms of access during gameplay, but very often poorly utilized!

This one has been in the works since 2010 🥴 woodar.dj/valour/ It was sturdy enough that it opened a lot of doors for me with publishers and paved the way for other designs to sign but never good enough itself to get picked up!
