Puerto Rican media is STILL POPPING OFF about the whole "Puerto Rico island of garbage" comment. We will continue to do so through the election. It's bittersweet for me; I love to see it, but it also presses on a wound with regard to my own situation in board gaming.

Today is launch day for Puerto Rico 1897 deluxe. Everyone here knows how I feel about it. I have tried every way possible to address, but I have reached the end of the line. Nothing will change, so I am seeking peace for that.

Fast forward, 2024, you got the same agenda…
You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars
No, you not a colleague, you’re a f***ing colonizer”
Kendrick speaking to me so hard. More tomorrow.

Wow, the Milli Vanilli documentary was EXCELLENT! Far exceeded what I thought. Besides the duo, it also discussed white promoters profiting off blackness, the delusions of fame, the audience's desire to not see what's in front of them, and so much more. www.amazon.com/Milli-Vanill...

Creator friends, especially US based! I have a prototype for Inferno, a Euro-game set in the world of Dante's Inferno. If you would like to do a preview for it, please let me know and I can get that forwarded to you. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39...

I don’t always love the @nytimes.com. But these recent episodes of the Daily have been must-listen. It’s human stories on both sides of the carnage in the Holy Land. This one Is from Israel. Devastating. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I deeply respect Charlie Hall’s excellent board game journalism. Just… not here. At a time where US historical ignorance is rising due to white wing protests, book bans, etc., the last thing we need is to praise even harder erasure. www.polygon.com/tabletop-gam...

Personal responsibility becomes self-punishment. By no coincidence, that is exactly where our bullies want us to be.
Mental health means standing up to bullies, including the ones inside our own heads.

Holy shit, we funded! I am so proud of my beautiful wife Melissa and so thankful for all my friends who backed. Right now, the album will be a private release. If we get more funding, we can afford broader streaming. Let’s go!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cts...

Great article by @charliehall.bsky.social about the AI in the new Terraforming Mars xpac. TL:DR, they’re using it and they’ll keep using it, unless it becomes too painful. We have our orders. www.polygon.com/tabletop-gam...

My wife Melissa is launching a Kickstarter project for her new jazz album this Monday. Here's an a-capalla song she did with her old group, just so you get a taste of what you get if you back. https://open.spotify.com/track/46WwgrkD2RHTCUXAdQYN2W?si=37d10dfdb07a4f9f

I am thrilled to welcome career hobby journalists @keithlaw.bsky.social and @lukeplunkett.bsky.social to examine - what is board game 'Media'? How does BG media compare to that in other hobbies? What are the lines between reviews and other forms of content? And more! https://youtu.be/-U0UJQAiUWI

This is perhaps my favorite playthrough that I've ever done. Eurogame meets manosphere podcast with a romantic comedy mixed in. The improv possibilities are off the chain in Life, the Euro game, aka The Pursuit of Happiness! https://youtu.be/FiRd_8dM_hk

Thanks so much to Elizabeth Hargrave for live-“tweeting” my GenAnalog keynote speech on bias in gaming. She did a great job picking out the important points, so check out the thread (and the talk when it posts)!
Up now: Jason Perez! He's a cultural consultant, a mental health therapist, a streamer and reviewer (Shelf Stories). He also helped design Puerto Rico 1897, a reimagining of the classic game in a brief non-colonial period in Puerto Rico's history. (thread👇)
I'm looking forward to catching some of Generation Analog today. Free talks all day on inclusivity, player community, history, design, aesthetics, and more in hobby boardgames & RPGs.
