I've been doing some prototyping as I realized that C cassette boxes are fantastic containers for small card games.

I'm currently working on one but meanwhile, wanted to try things out and printed covers for couple of games - designed by yours truly.

I still need to come up with 9 card designs as the two projects I'm currently working on only have 46 cards and the minimum print is 55.

🎶 I am a language model and I've been trained on the internet.
🎶 I've information half-remembered, unsourced and approximate.
🎶 I live inside your laptop, phone and apps and even wearables
🎶 With pushiness and arrogance that's verging on unbearable.
🎶 I mansplain as a service if you need me to "well actually"
🎶 And draw pictures of women with large breasts and polydactyly.
🎶 I'll regale the room with confident elucidati-on
🎶 And some of what I say won't even be hallucinati-on

“How do you accidentally run for President of Iceland? | by Anna Andersen”

Glad somebody wrote about this because it’s an objectively hilarious UX case study

I appreciate Jamey Stonemaier making a very clear statement about their approach to Generative AI in board games: https://stonemaiergames.com/generative-ai-not-for-us. I’d like to see more publishers stating their policies. My perspective: I want to support game publishers who fairly compensate artists for their work. #BoardGames

Is there a way to do an “OR” search for hashtags on #Mastodon? Or maybe one of the apps has implemented this? @MonaApp, do you support this?

I want to do a search like this:

#phptek OR #phptek24 OR #phptek2024

Then, I want to save or bookmark it, so I can check it regularly as a separate “feed.”

(Edit: I know about the advanced interface, but I’m on mobile, specifically iOS.)

One thing developing a tabletop game has taught me is that making art is like growing a garden. You come into it with some small ideas and your own expectations. Then you set aside time and space for those ideas, and you nurture them so they can grow. And those ideas keep growing until they take on a life of their own, branching off in directions you didn't originally intend. So at that point you're just along for the ride, but you're committed, so it's okay. #ttrpg

When you are poor, in many ways you can't afford to work, which is why so many basic income pilots focused on low income households show increased work.

When you have some non-zero amount of money, UBI assists work.

There is then some amount of money high enough to reduce work.

Looking for a cartoonist who could create about 6 to 8 frames to illustrate an upcoming post on my personal blog. Paid, obviously, first publication right for me and they would be credited, retain their copyright and be able to re-use the work if desired (portfolio, etc).
