Welcome to bsky everyone, here's the Sun Gremlin:
PAX Unplugged @asmadigames.bsky.social is wrapped! Great show. Absolutely exhausted and looking forward to vacation.

I assure you that what I lacked in pictures taken, we made up for in dumplings eaten.

We've been taking some fancy product shots, Chess Joker is really shaping up! Very excited to be showing this off at #PAX Unplugged next week.

Chess Joker is Carl Chudyk's latest - the great game of chess with lots of interesting cards. No more memorized board positions! Tactics rule the day.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June.

It’s louder & clearer tonight.

I also had NO CLUE, as a customer/gamer & tangentially linked to the industry.

For executive leadership to make financially catastrophic decisions based on "let's make a new, worse answer to a problem that's already been solved, because we're bigger and have more money" is indefensibly incompetent.
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry.

These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly.

Aggressive MTX, everything is a live service, DRM that only punish paying players, NFTs, and now AI.

What a shitshow.

Good Curling, everyone! Over 500 people so far have decided that they want to curl with dice and make swooshy broom noises as they imagine sweeping them down a sheet of ice.

You, too, could be as cool as them, if you simply click the link below:

The Dodgers' organist just played the Attack on Titan theme in the 16th inning; that's how deep into the fuckin bag he's had to go.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This is very, very cool for us and something we've wanted to be able to do for a long time!
For the first time ever, our games are for sale at a booth at Essen! Innovation Ultimate and base 4th edition, and new print runs of Mottainai and Meow, and of course the Good Puppers you deserve.

Hey friends! Had the chance to play this on stream and it's a genuinely fun and well thought out game. Cute Art, a element of dexterity not often used in boardgames AND you get to be cool af witches. Consider supporting them!

So @asmadigames.bsky.social we made a tabletop version you can play. With witches & their brooms! And magic. And dice. A racoon riding a roomba? YES ✨
