Me, a person who likes games, taking 6-7 hours trying to get a basic handle on Bardsung
One thing I try to remind folks in the board game industry is that hobbyists quickly forget how complex our hobby is. What we call a "light" game is considerably heavy and odd to the vast majority of people in the country.

I was planning to finish Metaphor today, but I'm not even sure if I can.

It's just so dissonant to the world we are living in right now

The votes for Trump have pretty much stayed constant. Some people may have moved away from him, but propaganda and vested interested are enough to keep many willingly blind.

The democratic party did not inspire people to get out and vote. Fear only goes so far, people need to fight FOR something

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us."

so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

On a moral level but also strategically: Everybody who favored this "campaign message" should find no peace for the remainder of their lives.

"Liberals" and "Centrists" who ensured Trump's return are attacking people who BEGGED Biden/Harris to offer a bold alternative to fascism and genocide. They're GLOATING about the looming horrors. Rotten to the core, mirrors of their MAGA partners.

The democratic party would rather lose an election than enact any kind of change.

Here's to four more years of great fundraising and easily being able to shift the blame.

They can't keep doing this. They can't keep shadow dropping like this.

Since applications are now open for Acen panels, I thought I'd try to take the opportunity to share what the process was like for me last year, including what I submitted, what got approved, and how the panels evolved from outline to presentation (1/?)

Thinking a lot about how the King's Magic prevents political candidates from being killed (seemingly because that subverts the pseudo-democratic process) but doesn't prevent the electorate from being killed (also subverts the pseudo-democratic process) #metaphor #メタファー
