My dog Lady Gaga, a scruffy black, grey, and white master piece of an animal giving me her puppy dog eyes waiting for a walk. She is standing on a brown piece of carpet in our blue entry way.

Welp I guess we are going for a walk.

The Quantum Cardinal.

That Star Control 2. I still think about it too.

Just think Gio you might be a cardinal.

First play of the new Root content last night and it’s a lot of fun! Saving the lily pad diaspora for trying 2p with the other hirelings, it stands to reason if you like Root and want more Root, these guys are good Root. @patrickleder.bsky.social

Can't wait to get my deluge of accounting firms calling at all hours asking if they can file this for a percentage months after we've filed.

Plus the cinematic universe of the Man Child video.

I hope you're all doing well.

Dope

Had a blast tonight showing a prototype to my friends tonight. Been cooking on the game for a few months (and years before that). Some of the best fun I've had testing in years. Still a ton of things to fix but it was all pretty actionable feedback. Now to finally rest.

Liz here will make me play this game if it gets through P500 so you should probably order it. Also she is brilliant which is another reason you should get it.

Singing to your dog is very silly. Now excuse me while I carry my dog around the house singing "I Will Always Love You" in a falsetto.

Although I am firmly in the anti-AI camp I am undecided about how important it is to put it on the packaging. I guess we will get there.

@bifair.bsky.social has a pretty solid guarantee that I'd stand by. You can punch Kyle in the face if either of us uses AI. I mean either of us in the face.

If you want to go to SXSW by all means. Otherwise there are better places to reach an audience.

In this case it is important that a new placed building can touch up to 6 other buildings. And aren't Octogons in vector terms squares anyway?

All the time, but should that stop me? I'm not going to do it that exact same way. We all might learn something new.

It is important in this case that where you place a building can touch up to 6 sites.

My right hand would become... oh no prosthetics. Huh. I'd have to go with a scoop and a pizza cutter.

Mmmmm.

A series of hexes depicting a coastline of a fantasy world. The hexes are a solid color instead of having any texture as their source is early in playtesting/design.

Good morning! It is a grey and gloomy Saturday here in Saint Paul. Going to wrap up some things on a prototype this afternoon and then show it to a group of my friends tonight.

In the meantime ask me your questions about publishing and design and whatever else strikes your fancy.

Mostly got it done. I have a few more opportunity cards to build but more time means I have time to build in more flair.

But as we know you also just need to get it to the table to see what is wrong or worse getting too complex. I have the hard deadline of a test with my accountability squad (friends) tomorrow.

I used to really like it in the early days of Vast and it was just me at Fedex cutting into the wee hours of the morning.

Now I struggle with wanting to make it manifest.

I think some of it is just plain old my brain doesn't think it is right so my focus keeps shifting.

The meme of a little girl crying, doing something that should be joyful while in tears. The meme reads "When in finally have to layout the stuff I designed."

Got to lock in and get this prototype built. Why can't I just design all the time with no action?

Are you secretly an orange cat?

I got destroyed last time by one the neighbor kids. He got his light car out two boards ahead and we could not air strike it to save our lives.

Speaking of games we've worked on, we are a player short for our Saturday RPG, so I'm taking my son and his friends through a second round of Thunderroad tomorrow. He requested the "DLC". We're going to use the personalities.

The developer Kyle Woelfel brought together some rules for 2 Caves competing. I'll admit I didn't dig into them too much and it's been years. He's working as an advisor on the second edition so I'll probably get to read them again. He was delightfully squirrelly like that.

Well 4. The ruleset for the Cave had to get cut for length.

For Vast?
