🚨 COZY GAME ALERT 🚨 I can safely say Mycology is the ~*~coziest~*~ game I have ever developed. It's by a first time designer who is also an ACTUAL mycologist, with a whole lot of Quillsilver Studio involvement. I hope you'll check it out 🍄

Big day yesterday at the Sydney Board Game BBQ. Caught up with some old friends, made new ones and played lots of games including play testing new games from Australian designers! Little reel of everything I played:

Typography nerds, does anyone know any good renditions of Times New Roman or ones in a similar style on Adobe Fonts? I’m increasingly interested in it, not for any immediate use, just nostalgia as I liked the metal version in an old fiction book & using it in Windows 3.1 as a kid

Amy Orben, a leading researcher in the field, studied large social datasets with 355k subjects & found "the association of well-being with regularly eating potatoes was nearly as negative as the association with technology use." In other words: small. 3/ nature.com/articles/s4156…

These two items are projects I worked heavily on, and it's so gratifying to see them being well received, thanks Taylor! I can't speak for Launch Tabletop officially, but as I understand it they will be available to buy later this year :-)

Watching the latest episode of This Week in Google and again feel Stacey Higginbotham and Jeff (Gutenberg Parenthesis) Jarvis are incredibly compelling and interesting and make great points consistently. I'm really glad to have made watching the podcast a regular part of my life and hearing their views.

For anyone who cares, I am on bluesky with the same handle as here. Feel free to find me.

not to sound like a huge communist but I don’t think millions of us should have to die hungry and in debt so a couple dudes with really really really big boats can have really really really really big boats

Started a type foundry recently? Wondering how to succeed? Disheartened by the establish big players in our industry? You’re not alone. Reach out. Connect with other emerging up-and-coming foundries. Support each other. Share knowledge and failures. Work together.

Friendly reminder that you owe nobody debate about anything, especially not your core values. Also: you’ve got good instincts. If it smells like an energy vampire, it probably is.

I love technology

The No campaign’s narrative that it’s all a “conspiracy by the big end of town” seems ridiculous. But it dovetails nicely with disinformation about the vote being “rigged”, and questioning the authority of the AEC.

Had a few more thoughts about the AI Art in board games discussion. I doubt I’ll have much more to say on the topic for awhile, but wanted to pass this along in case it struck a meaningful chord for anyone else wrestling with it.

Part of me misses this place, popping back in I see it is still a mess here. :-(
