Looks like another time lapse video opportunity.

It was on the web and through every other link I tried.

Michael Dart @mjdart.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you, but I managed to get hold of someone who fixed the links. I can't even remember how I did it now. I think maybe I commented on the website post. I think I was the finale!

Michael Dart @mjdart.bsky.social · 14d

Ah a TCG. Not really my thing but thanks for the answer. I'm always here for what you're playing.

Wow, good on you. I haven't finished it yet, but already this is great. I'm sure this will help a lot of people. Look after yourself.

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that.

One of my favourite things to do is watch YouTube videos of musicians geek out about Radiohead. Particularly In Rainbows. I've watched so many.

@shannongaitz.bsky.social I finally cleared my podcast queue and listened to your new one. It was entertaining!

Q&A question: What's the card game you mentioned Peter is playing a lot with @myleskuah.bsky.social ? I might have hyper-focused on the fleeting tabletop reference.

Glad to hear he's got your vote of confidence (for now).

Michael and I are so back for Survivor (US) Season 49. I'm still getting used to the new (to me) host, Jeff, but I think he's gonna be alright:

This holding the ball rule is garbage. No one wants to pick up the ball. Reward the people trying to make the play. #aflw #afl

So many people have recommended this documentary to me that I'm going to pass on the recommendation to you before I've even gotten a chance to see it.

I wrote about the Reiser brothers and their hilarious, disgusting Listers documentary for Slate:

One of the Funniest Documentaries of the Year Is Streaming for Free on YouTube

Listers is a journey into the dark and cringy heart of one of the world’s most peculiar hobbies.

Is this all games, not just finals? Just the 39th ever? I think I'm misreading something.
