We're just about 15 backers away from my personally most-anticipated stretch goal (an entire second set of face cards by @frogappreciator.bsky.social for you to swap into the deck) soooo if you've been waiting to back, now is a great time!!

First run, FIST gets shrunken down to 1/10th size while being blown around by gale-force winds and dies three rooms in. Second run, FIST makes it 14/15 rooms before going out in a blaze of glory fighting a Warden under acid rain while a nuclear countdown blares. Believe in the heart of the cards!

got to play House Edge & i have never seen a tabletop game so perfectly capture that "just one more run" feeling of roguelite video games it's an absolute blast, the writing is delightful, the mechanics are so clever, i immediately was like "ok so can we set up an ongoing campaign" it's SO good!!!

started to think maybe i was going to make it through the green realm without hitting all the phases of madness but today my brain is buzzing so bad i must accept the stimulus is too much. attempting to detox with good video game and open window

this isn't even just digital hobbies. I've talked about this elsewhere but it's literally even spreading into line dancing. this one choreographer is leveraging his existing respect to grift everybody into playing + streaming his AI slop songs by choreographing to them

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

Of the top 5 most popular songs viewed on the main line dancing website right now, THREE are AI and they're by the same two guys. There's two more in the top 20. I'm not even convinced the views are genuine, at least at first.

My favorite teacher decided to teach one of these AI songs this week and when I brought it up (she's previously been negative about the AI music) she said. "this guy taught me a dance at 3am one time, I love him, I'm going to teach his dances." it sucks. there's infinite music in the world!

i'm part of two line dancing communities--the younger people at a bar dancing mostly to pop music so far never play the slop; everywhere with an older crowd does. it seems like the younger crowd cares about the songs being fun and good slightly more, which i guess makes sense

I love Adam's other games Uneasy Lies the Head and Hungry Out of Habit, but I've been looking forward to this one getting a full physical set for years. Adam's games are really smart on the gameplay level but also on the physicality level--these experiences are Designed!!

Just now FIST found two “Really Red Energy Drinks” and buoyant towels, which they brought with them to a rematch with The Shark. S.K. can tell The Shark enjoys coming back for seconds- so he throws one Really Red into its open maw, and the other far into the ocean luring it away. I love this game.

Starting soon!! @posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online will be talking about The House Edge and joining a big squad celebrating all the great card games funding right now!!

$60,000 RAISED! Another stretch goal down. The next one is our biggest jump so far, and the one I'm most excited about: every deck of cards will get a second set of face cards illustrated by B. Everett Dutton, creator of FIST. They can be swapped with the other faces for different game phases!

If you're a supporter on Patreon ($3 a month!) you can listen to some little outtake clips from before the show, including some possibly deep @calebzane.bsky.social lore and @seanireland.bsky.social inventing new important terms...

ALSO i started Control: Resonant and while the opening is not as hype as the original, I am really excited to see how it grows. Genuinely stunned at how much like Nier it feels (this is a good thing)

we didn't put a "no AI" part of our kickstarter page because it seems so completely obvious with all the stuff we make but i'm seeing this on all these campaigns now. it's making me very sad!!! why do we have to wear the signs!!!!

i keep crying laughing about this one. you should read the house edge demo just so you can get this joke

satahshanks the kale gay cat 🛸@posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online

i actuallyyy need everyone to get into the house edge in a big way so my really good jokes & goofs & gags aren't strictly relegated to the work group chat .

we recorded this when I was RIGHT on the threshold of true kickstarter madness so I would describe the energy as. For my usual vibe in these appearances. quite intense

Whatcha Doing? podcast!@whatchadoingpod.bsky.social

New episode!!! This time I'm sitting down with @calebzane.bsky.social and @seanireland.bsky.social to talking about Triangle Agency, Haunted Table and... Fergie??? Go back The House Edge now!!!
