I’m not sure what my kitchen helper is trying to tell me… it seems to be related to the turkey that just came out of the oven but I can’t be sure.

Your annual reminder...

This is your PSA reminder to waffle your leftover dressing/stuffing.

Top with cranberry sauce or gravy. Or go bonkers and make it the base for a leftover savory sundae with taters, protein, veg, etc.

Me trying to explain #DungeonCrawlerCarl to my colleague.
screenshot of slack message showing the cover of the dungeon crawler carl rpg cover sketch. It shows a bottom up angle on a man wearing a mask, cape, heart boxers, and spikey kneepads with a persian cat on his shoulder. His very large foot is in the foreground smashing the ground. Questions: What is going on with this man’s, umm, nether regions? Is this accurate to the books? Is this a good cover image for a game? Bonus note: That is a large foot for a cover. my reply to the inquiry about the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG cover sketch... ROFL OMG HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA lol dying Ok. the nether regions is a somewhat oddly drawn perspective so his kneepad looks like his crotch. this cover, on whole, is VERY accurate to the books Princess Donut - the former champion show cat turned sentient magician. The magic boxers that can't be covered up... cuz it's funny for the aliens watching the Dungeon World show humans have been trapped in. The AI that runs the dungeon developed a foot fetish so keeps giving Carl items/abilities that are strong if he uses his bare feet. etc. It's a very unserious series.

I got to see a sample copy of Lodge from @pickpocket.games in person for the first time yesterday! It looks lovely. This is the deluxe edition (my first deluxe anything).

#PAXUnplugged is my favorite US board game convention. It’s been a rough year for the industry and it’s bolstering to see the passion of the makers and the players here.

I despise the new camera icon in iOS with the heat of a hundred suns.
Screen shot of phone showing the new update icons. The camera is now a mimic of a front on look at a camera lens. It’s a big shiny black “hole”. It is creepy and gross.

Sometimes I think about how relatively few companies consolidate the bulk of our internet services (cough - AWS - cough) and I think of the obelisk in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
