Breathing Through Our Butts Declared Safe After First Human Trial

The first application of enteral ventilation—aka breathing through the bum—to humans proved the technique is safe.

I'd have a page called "Hater Aid," with a guest who absolutely hates a particular board game mechanism listing their a handful of games in that realm, why they hate the mechanism, and why those 5-10 games mitigate that dislike.

I don't plan to ever get back into the "game reviewer" space (mainly b/c people Amabel H., Dan T., and Charlie T., put out the content I want to make at a MUCH higher level), BUT if I did...

P.S. - If you could make the interview next tues. [for the job within walking distance of our top choice house] go well; that'd also be great. 🙏

R and I are going to look at houses on Saturday. We're already pre-approved for a loan, so... if you could, uh, make any offer we put forth go through easily. That'd be great.

Kthnx. Good talk.

you can also activate ZCM on a full lane, have her move to somewhere you're losing, then drop Ultron to refill everything back up. (esp. cool w/ Carter & Patriot on board)

It doesn't put up enough power consistently in the current meta, but damn if it's not a fun deck.

ZCM in an empty lane makes oppos go 🤔🤬?!. Then you can Ultron on 6/7 activate it, and keep it at that location with the buffs.

Apologies for jumping in to a SNAP-adjacent thread.

I know the guy who runs VanRyder (A.J). If you end up getting the game, I can probably shoot him a mssg and get you some promo characters. :)

For the record, here's a blurb from the publisher about how the (non-AI) art came into existence.

Kinda sad to think that games will need to come with a designer diary about the art process just to keep pedantic "sleuths" happy.

Gamers: CHILL. THE FUCK. OUT

I get that AI art is terrible and it steals $ from those who should be rightfully making it; that's not my point.

My argument is that we've leaned so hard into this "gotcha!" mindset that nothing is enjoyable because we're stuck asking "but.. what if?!" ad nauseum.

AI Art? | Bohemians

I've been looking forward to this game for a while, particularly because I liked the art style. It looked like a lot of effort had gone into creating a coherent art style. The first reviews aren't too...

Update/OTA Schedule:

Verrrrrry interested to see how this (and 4 new cards from the Spider season 2 days earlier) will affect Golden Gauntlet Worlds on the 8th.

Eric L. @andcursedthebread.bsky.social · 6d

1. The Character standees for *Winnie the Pooh: Serious Detective* look pretty damn adorable.

2. I, however, want a kitsch-y 6th player expansion that's Eeyore; and the player using him just repeatedly says "oh bother, they're probably dead" whenever the group looks for clues.

#Boardgame friends:

What game would you say is closest to "Kakistocracy: the Board Game" ?

- They addressed that Horde sucked.
- IWFS getting -2 is kinda laughable considering HER stats weren't the main issue when she's copied by Jocasta/Prodigy and triggering Havok, Sunspot, and Thena 8x 🙄
- Didn't we already try SK w/ increased cost 🤦‍♂️? Great, now it goes in Surfer.

Nice.

Have also been trying to theorycraft decks with Aurora. Are Zombie Mr. F and Thanos stones the only (current) cards that have multiple Keywords on them (Activate/OnReveal & OnReveal/Ongoing) ?
