Heavy metal board game t-shirt is real! This sample is printed on Men's Extra Soft Heather Smoke. I'm impressed that so much fine detail is visible on the band list. All pretty legible (by heavy metal standards). Check it out!

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

I am studying basic tourist phrases for our trip to Japan. I like to make little jokes to help myself remember.

"My favorite Japanese food is « kore »! Every restaurant has it and it's always a surprise."

(Kore means "this 👈")

And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

I am absolute crap at Tigris & Euphrates, but it's also one of those "book-opening" games where you're immediately behind if you don't take predictable first turns. I didn't do my homework before the current game: boardgamearena.com/9/tigriseuph...
