The cuisine of corporations

This is Pombon, the new fire starter for Pokemon Gen 10. This is Pombomb, an early encounter from Cassette Beasts.

If the Pokemon Company is going to sue for similar designs, they should play by their own rules. Of course they won't because they're a billion dollar titan who can get away with it.

Also I'm STOKED the simultaneous turns translated so well from board game to video game. It means you're constantly talking to one another between deep plays and banter and the experience RULES.

In a board game player elimination you don't interact/engage with what's happening. You're giving players the excuse to do *anything else* which means they're board.

In a video game you're giving them a moment to breathe. It's such a shorter amount of time and then they get to pop back in and play!

I didn't get the early access for StS2 until last night. I was neck deep in the Downfall KS. My gf and I played the multiplayer and had a blast. I wasn't ready for the one change they made from the board game; you don't lose when one player dies.

It's such a smart change for different mediums.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

Just gonna put this here again apropo nothing.

But also no matter how much of a Marvel stan I am I'm not gonna go see it with all the AI bullshit.

Look the re-release of Avengers Endgame will one of Tilda Swinton's lines as The Ancient One. She'll say something like "If you don't put all the Infinity Stones back correctly it will mean... Doom for all of us." and if it's anything more than that it'll a crime against the movie and the fans.

This is the equivalent of someone looking both ways before crossing a one-way street.

We started showing Downfall in Essen Germany last year and the reception blew me away. The design and development team are so careful and thoughtful with this game and I can't wait for people to start playing.

For the last few weeks I've been pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into this campaign. Now there's 24 hours left and I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished.

Oof, I don't know. I'm not a fan of the spiral lettering because it's difficult to read. The bad kerning is funny here, but still easier to read without having to rotate my whole head but that's just personal preference I think.

Hey hey right now Kickstarter needs a kick and is retaliating against their union and their leadership needs to correct their shit.

Reinstate our teammates now! Kickstarter is retaliating against our union members for our legally-protected strike action in October 2025. Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles. Email Kickstarter's CEO and tell him this is illegal and unacceptable! e@kickstarter.com

Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE

Don’t forget that you can now use most of Lutri everyone’s* favorite** otter.

In about 2 hours I expect the Commander panel to announce a change to deck construction rules regarding hybrid mana.

I want more senators to say “fuck” about Ted Cruz.

There’s a small but loud worm in my brain terrified that ICE will show up at the Super Bowl tomorrow.

Hot damn this sounds like a lot of fun.

...my laptop stopped connecting to Wifi (without a prompt to even connect) and when I restarted my laptop my installed software was gone, my works files were gone, and it was as though the OS was freshly installed. If you see me cry and/or lose my shit next week I apologize in advance.
