I tried Brandon Sanderson to see what all the fuss is about and it wasn’t for me. Got about 150 pages into The Final Empire and decided I’m good on that. People told me the prose was simple but I wasn’t prepared for just how plain it would be. Also some questionable gender/race stuff…

I cancelled Disney+ and Hulu. I had already cancelled Paramount Plus when Colbert was dropped. I highly recommend doing the same. Come on MAGA, keep saving me money!

I’m feeling strangely disenchanted with board games recently. I don’t know that I have the language to fully explain why and I’m hoping that it’s temporary. It does make it easy to compartmentalize my job and have a healthy relationship with my work though.

I had to leave OrcaCon a bit earlier than intended because I had a sudden onset of flu-like symptoms. Those symptoms have rapidly worsened. So if you hung out with me and you start to not feel well, get hydrated and take it easy. My apologies for possibly incubating a pathogen.

The newest update for the Stellaris board game says we can sign up to do an editing pass on the game's cards, and man does that leave a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing. Requesting free labor from your backers... on a project that's WAY behind schedule even... Am I alone on this?

The vibes here are so much better than on Elon’s Fascist Playground but I am beginning to wonder if I need social media in my life at all? Is the answer a replacement platform? Not sure yet.

I don't know if every introvert needs and extrovert or vice versa. But I do think every jaded realist needs an optimist as a close friend in their lives. That's for sure.

Pretty wild to say they acquired the Prospero Hall design team when they cut a bunch of it during the transition.
Funko just sold its board games assets and Prospero Hall design team to Rummikub maker Goliath:

I decided today to attempt to add myself on BGG as a Designer on all the projects I led or co-led while part of Prospero Hall. I hope it doesn't ruffle any feathers, but now that I am no longer there, I would like there to be something that ties me to that work when people search

Rebel Moon is so bad. Fortunately for Snyder his fanboys have so little media literacy that all they care about is if the characters punch each other in ratcheted slow-motion shots, and since that's about 60% of this film they should be sated.
