The internet has given our fingertips access to an endless library of information. Unfortunately, it contains so much misinformation that some truths remain just as elusive as the days before the web.

It’s release day for my friend Brady’s new book! I enjoyed the first two Relic Meyers, and I look forward to seeing what unhinged nightmare he walks into this time.

Today’s the day! 🤘🎃🤘 if you’re able to show me some love, please head to Amazon and get a copy for yourself and/or some loved ones. This book’s really something special!

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Yup, it’s really happening folks. I don’t have any details yet, but I will likely be involved in some way. www.ghostgalaxy.com/blogs/news/n...

ghostgalaxy.comGhost Galaxy Publishing New Edition of Battlestar Galactica Board GameGhost Galaxy is excited to announce today that it has entered into an agreement with Universal and Fantasy Flight Games to publish a new edition of the classic Battlestar Galactica The Board Game. The original Battlestar Galactica board game, designed by Corey Konieczka, was originally released in 2008 by Fantasy Flight Games to much acclaim. The game was bolstered by three expansions and taught a whole generation of gamers to ask the question: “Are you a Cylon?” Ghost Galaxy has been working on an updated design of the classic game, which will be launched via crowdfunding in early 2027. “I had the pleasure to oversee the publication of this phenomenal board game during its first lease on life”, said Christian T. Petersen CEO of Ghost Galaxy (and former CEO and founder of Fantasy Flight Games). “We’re having a lot of fun returning to the great characters and story of Battlestar Galactica, and we’re working hard to ensure that our new edition will make a great game design even better!” “We’re thrilled to have Ghost Galaxy take on this classic game”, said Bill Altig, SVP of Narrative Games at Fantasy Flight Games. “We can’t wait to see it back in print.” The crowdfunding page for Battlestar Galactica The Board Game will launch in the coming weeks. Be sure to check back for when that goes live to follow for more news.

Kenney is right (obviously)

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

The Monolith has one simple need: hearts! Many, many hearts - and you'd better deliver them or yours might be harvested next! Coming soon from @plaidhatgames.bsky.social and designed by @mistergross.bsky.social - join me here and let's learn how to play The Monolith: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd5f...

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

Wowzers, looks like I just crested 1,000 followers! Thank you! This make me think I should post more often… Once my game(s?) are announced, you’ll probably ask me to shut up. 🤐 🤣

I was REALLY hoping to have my prototype ready for testing today, but alas, I spent too long fixing bugs this week so didn't get 100% through the content. I *think* it should be ready after 1 more day of testing.

One bug in particular surprised me: I played 20ish missions without realizing that the enemies were not leveling up. The game felt too easy, so I was brainstorming ways to increase difficulty... nope. Now it's really tough. 😅

Ummm... I just got a check from the government with some nonsense about how Biden and Healthcare.gov were a failure so here's some money. Oh, and be sure to vote for REDACTED (yeah right, not gonna happen). I feel weird cashing this bribe money. Maybe I should donate it to some political causes?

Phew! All features are complete for my next round of alpha testing! I've got a few small art things to do tomorrow, then 2 days of testing (and bug fixing) before sending it to testers. 🎊🎆🎊

The stock market makes it APPEAR that the economy is strong, but it’s all a house of cards. I predict that the AI bubble will burst in 3-4 years, and it will be blamed on the next US president, even though this is inevitable.

Maybe I'm old and out of touch, but I'm genuinely confused how people use AI to write emails. If I'm writing an email, I'm trying to communicate specific things and nothing more. The AI wouldn't know those things unless I told it, in which case I could have already written the email, so....

This review for The Mandalorian Adventures: Sworn to the Creed blew my mind. 🤯 We buried this context so deep that I didn’t think anyone would discover it.

After 6 months work, here’s the status of my videogame: - SYSTEM DESIGN: 85% - CONTENT: 55% - VFX: 50% Next steps: triple the size of my alpha testing pool, squash bugs, improve core experience, then create new content.

Sorry for being cagey on the details. When I announce the game, I want to do it right (with lots of exciting details and visuals). My hope is to release the game next March, with an announcement & demo late this year or early next.

I spent the last few weeks adding a new location to my videogame (let’s call it the “Casino”). The art and characters took the longest (plus the minigames), but it’s finally DONE. It turned out great, and I’m on track for next week’s big milestone.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I just finished reading The Fires of December, and it was absolutely marvelous. My wife is reading it next, so I get the pleasure of vicariously experiencing it again through her. 😁

Broke out a few oldies for tonight’s gamenight. First off was Imperial Assault (which I haven’t played in 10+ years), then finished off the night with a classic game of Aquire.

It's official: The EPA has repealed a rule that would have directly saved thousands of lives by limiting fossil fuel emissions from power plants. Industry lobbyists successfully pushed for this repeal using surging demand from data centers as justification. The government chose AI over human lives.

In the last 30 minutes I received over 200 (and rising) texts to verify purchases that I most certainly did NOT make on my credit card. Luckily, the credit card company caught the first purchase and I locked my card so none of them went through. A headache, but it could have been so much worse!

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the one ring. Mr. Bean. (But he would lose the ring 3 seconds later and then make a fake ring so the fellowship doesn’t find out.)

Elon Musk supported the rising neo-Nazi party in Germany. He’s the number one funder of Republicans in the midterms. He’s supporting fascist agitators in England. It’s long past time for anyone who supports democracy to leave his propaganda website. It’s time to boycott X.

I’ve seen some internet strangers talking about the book I published last year, calling it “shitty” and “fucking awful.” What surprised me the most is that these words didn’t sting. Maybe my book DID suck. *shrugs* You can only learn by trying, and you can only grow by doing.

Wooo-eee, my brain is fried. It’s been a busy week working on [secret project]. Most work has been refining weak moments or improving story details, so it’s slow going. The changes themselves seem small and insignificant, however these details are exactly what can bring a game from 4 stars to 5.
