If you’re in the US, early voting has probably started in your area. So go vote when you get the chance!
I know it’s an off year for mostly minor positions & local officials, but they’re still important!

Been drawing custom Wanders again for each video I release and having a lot of fun with the designs. Nuke Pong, Druid, and Mushroomboi are definitely my favorites from this batch.
Nice part is almost all of them will only take a few hours to adapt into PNGTuber models.

Got a Demo in the Next Fest? Share it below! I’ve got my week cleared out and would love to find some new gems to showcase/look forward to!
If you’re launching soon after the Next Fest, send me an email so I can check out that version!
Block me if you use generative AI though. I won’t cover it.

For comparison, the digital version has far fewer task tiles, in comparison, and considerably more landscape tiles to pad things out. I've placed 20-30 tiles in this screenshot, have 67 tiles in my stack, and can easily get way more by completing objectives.
It's way more forgiving as a result.

Now that I'm (almost) done putting together all of my Warhammer sets, I finally have the table space to play boardgames again and figured I'd give Dorfromantik a shot.
It's so, so good- to the point where I'd comfortably argue that it's better than the original digital version.

If you don't know how to disable it, here's how to do so on the website.
I don't know how to disable it on other apps, but can look into it if desired.

I saw some people claiming that Members only videos will automatically get restricted, and while that's true of my four most recent members videos, multiple of them from a month ago are fully visible on my videos page.
So even that's inconsistently enforced.

Surprisingly, I've found that "Mushroom" or "Shroom" is one of the most censored words on my channel, for some reason! I'd assume it's because 'shrooms' = drugs, but that's still a wild overreach in my opinion.
Also the censorship doesn't apply to playlists in channel searches, surprisingly?

Conversely, my video on The Knightling is restricted, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.
It's arguably one of the most PG games I've covered all year, with n64-era cartoon violence, no blood, and bright, cheerful visuals. The title/thumbnail doesn't contain violent words either.

My initial assumption with Restricted Mode is that it would prioritize censoring more violent or mature words & topics, and it does generally restrict videos with: bullet, shooter, hell, kill, abyss (surprisingly?), etc... in the title/thumbnail.
But not always?? This video is still visible.

I know other creators have been beating this dead horse for the last week or two, but YouTube's new 'Restricted Mode' is an indiscriminate menace and it bothers me to no end.
Of the last 48 videos I've uploaded to my channel, 17 of them have been restricted for exceedingly unclear reasons.

Just a heads up for YouTube folks: YT has implemented "Most Relevant" as the new default sorting method, and I can only assume it's just as terrible as all their other "AI"-powered features.
Luckily you can also set default filters now, so it's probably a good idea to switch it back to Newest asap.

I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong, but I've interacted with several anvil locations and none of the upgrades actually stick for some reason.
Might be worth a look asap.
Feel free to send me an email as soon as it's fixed (or if I'm a big dumb and did something wrong).

Now that Silksong has chased off a ton of devs from releasing their games from the next two weeks...
Who's releasing a game/demo in the next few weeks that I should check out?
My schedule is looking pretty empty and I don't want my only option to be Silksong (even if it's as good as it looks).

Also, taking money from a company that offers an AI generated... Minecraft Pedophile NPC? (Credit to @daniela.lol for spotting this.)
Absolute clown behavior.
The fact that Godot didn't check this AT ALL is deeply embarrassing and should make everyone question their vetting procedures.

I don't usually spring for solo boardgames, since it feels weird to play them alone, but after seeing Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs on the shelf at a local store I had to pick it up & try it.
For a box the size of my fist, this game is surprisingly beefy, with 6 classes, 20 missions, and tons of foes.

From a boardgame night a few weeks ago: The Isle of Cats!
It's a set collection/tetronimo placer where you're rescuing cats from an... Isle of Cats, and have to squeeze them onto your ship while fulfilling objective cards to maximize your point total by the end of the game.

The local boardgame store had another used game sale event and we once again ended up leaving with way, way too many games.
Many of which I hadn't even heard of before, like Deep Madness & Sorcerer City. It's also nice to get some expansions & games that I wanted, but needed an excuse to pick up.

Found the Warhammer Underworlds 2023 starter set for cheap & tried it for Boardgame Night a few days ago and... really loved it?
It's an odd mix of tactical wargame, deckbuilder, and... legos since you have to actually assemble the minis yourself.
I uh... may have gone out to buy more after this.
