K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread.
For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US.

Take it from the citizens of DC. This is all a distraction, and another power grab that threatens the health of our democracy.

If your kids are young enough you can convince them virtually any N*SYNC song is a new Saja Boys release. It helps if you say stuff like “this is Abby” during solo parts.

Bless Steve. I ordered a new oven and microwave and it was accidentally delivered while I was at Gen Con. Without install, because I thought I'd be home and helping.

Roach says "Trans Rights".
That's it for another GenCon! It was a delightful, exhausting weekend. See you all next time!

So Gwent fans informed us Roach, the horse, is canonically a she/her and girl. The horse we sourced had clear male genitalia. So we started thanking the fans and explaining she's trans. Sunday, we were able to make it clear with a saddle "blanket" I borrowed.
Did anyone manage to snag a photo?

If you have coins to spare and enjoyed a convention cookie, here is a page where you can learn about me, save the recipe, and donate to the cookie fund. I’ll be donating a portion to the Kentucky Humane Society in Artoo’s honor because he was part of this community, too.

So like, yeah, CGE sucks now for doing this. It feels hurtful. And when there's a pile-on - it's easy to contribute. But there's a whole list of these publishers. Don't just rage where it feels convenient. Learn more about the people behind the games.

If you haven’t read the book, do not watch the Project Hail Mary trailer. Please. Just go watch it in theatres without any prior knowledge.
Trailer for Project Hail Mary (a book I loved) dropped. And... of COURSE it spoils the BIG thing. Like - I get it. But wow - I wish they had gone a different way.

Steve's sick again but it's okay because he's on an intense anime-botics treatment regimen.
He's watching Gundam. All the Gundam he can find.
