@shannongaitz.bsky.social I agree with you and Peter about the hug. Having just got everything she wanted, Sage could have conceded a little by being gracious in victory. She acted like she was doing Shannon a favour by not giving her a fake hug.

okay turns out there will be a video essay, probably for the one after what I'm working on presently, because I FOUND THE DESIGNER

no video essay this time, but after digging this out to take this photo, I thought "maybe I should try again to find out who designed this". 🧵

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that.

@shannongaitz.bsky.social I finally cleared my podcast queue and listened to your new one. It was entertaining!
Q&A question: What's the card game you mentioned Peter is playing a lot with @myleskuah.bsky.social ? I might have hyper-focused on the fleeting tabletop reference.

The Codenames story is also on @wargamer.com
It's spread so wide. And so many people are being very stalwart and supportive. I hope Czech Games can see that this isn't anger, it's disappointment. And they can still fix it. They can still do the right thing.
