Muahaha my plan worked!

I actually got the idea for the parody from @ithayla.bsky.social here 7 months ago after I watched KPop Demon Hunters for the first time!

My new song parody is finished! Here's my take on sealing the honmoon... with board games!

That’s so neat!

I can’t read Chinese so I have no idea what the street names are!

Taiwanese version of Monopoly, from 1960.

I just went to the National Museum of Taiwan History and they had a special board game exhibit this month! I took 29 pictures of different games (hoping to make a video when I get back), but here’s one in the western games section of Monopoly!

March Update Ambie Valdés published a post on Ko-fi

Here's my March Update with all the videos I published in March! Lots of puzzle game demo playthroughs this month - I've been publishing daily videos on my puzzle game channel to catch up with all the demos I played during Next Fest.

Me in the hallway at Board Game Hut (a game store in Taipei). I’m in front of the game store sign and I’m holding a copy of Pokémon Splendor (Chinese version) and Touch it! (Japan themed)

First day in Taiwan and I’ve already made it to a board game store while it was open! A lot more successful than the last time I was here!

Yeah, I have some paper ones printed out! I do also plan to try to sleep some.

I’m going on vacation tomorrow and I’m not excited about the 14 hour flight but one of the things I’m most worried about is how the time zone change will affect my daily puzzle game schedule.

My 6yo: "Not many people know what a meeple is."

(he wore my skeleton meeple shirt to school today and apparently explained it to multiple teachers)

Emerald Echoes 200 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle. Art by Liga Klavina. Assembled puzzle has an image of two women by a campfire by a lake and mountains at night and there’s green smoke/aurora throughout the sky and water reflection.

Did the wooden puzzle today while editing. It was a fun puzzle! Lots of neat whimsy pieces and it’s very pretty to look at!

He probably thought he had hit the jackpot when he found a book with a scary cover and had so many pages - so much space for scary pictures!

My 6yo (who loves horror imagery) was looking at the magazines in a drugstore. He suddenly picked up a Stephen King book and started laughing excitedly. And then just as suddenly his laughs stopped and he had a sad “aw” because he flipped through it and it was all text 😆

Emerald Echoes: a puzzletale box, a wooden jigsaw puzzle, and a bonus puzzle (all part of the Kickstarter)

Woo hoo got my latest @postcurious.bsky.social Kickstarter delivery! I wasn’t expecting the box of Emerald Echoes to be this thick!
I think I need to slow down on backing puzzles and puzzle games though cause I have a big backlog that I haven’t started 😆

Listening now and I love the “Mommy I want a hug” in the middle of a game 😆

February Update Ambie Valdés published a post on Ko-fi

My February update is up on Ko-Fi! Lots of streaming this month (mostly this last week for Next Fest) so not as much time for editing but I still did quite a few videos. And making progress on my song parody!

Sometimes you get extreme analysis paralysis... #boardgames YouTube video by Board Game Blitz

I made a (hopefully funny) short about analysis paralysis! I came up with this idea after recording our podcast episode 254 and hearing Crystal's blurb in the intro for "less time than it takes to..."
Not our usual video content, but it was fun to make!
#boardgames

Thanks, but I’m not super into strategy games or digital card games.

Steam Next Fest - February 2026 - YouTube Demo playthroughs from Steam Next Fest (February 23 - March 2, 2026)

I'm playing a bunch of puzzle game demos for this week's Steam Next Fest and I'll be uploading the VODs to my YouTube channel in a playlist. I'm also streaming on Twitch every weekday morning this week to get through the list of demos I want to play!

Look at me talking about all the new hotness like Trajan 😆

Hah yeah they’re getting old!

I asked my 6yo’s:
A: “Similar to a CD but it’s different”
B: “It looks the same, right?” They do music, right?”

My 6yo: “is nighttime a weather?”
Me: “no”
6yo: “really? But sunny is a weather. Is moon a weather?”

Kids make such good points.
