Quick reintroduction - I design board games. I've made a lot of games, and two of them might actually come out next year!
Ask me about my prototypes!
A solo puzzle campaign game? I have that! Choose your own adventure with legal backtracking? Yep!
City builder on a connect four board? Boy howdy!

I wonder how much of AI "it tells me I am transforming into a god" cultism involves a digital version of Stendhal Syndrome, a cheesecake superstimulus very deliberately tailor made by the billionaires who created it to do so.

Waiting for the right-wing version of Philip Roth's 'The Plot Against America.' An alt-history where, like, Jon Stewart bursts into the 2016 election and defeats Trump, leading to an unrecognizably woke America.

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

Anytime know of an expert in folk monsters/cryptids for a (hopefully) quick paid consultation?
I am mainly looking for stuff like 'this monster began as/has become a thinly veiled racial slur, probably don't use it' and to avoid the Rising Sun 'Kotahi' situation :)

These justices should never again have a dinner out where their food is not spit on.
They should be jeered any time they are in public.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
