I don't know. Timeline split? New dimension? I think a least one of those notes was capable of opening a portal to the Upside Down.

Am I a singer? No
Can I do wacky things with my voice? Yep

Stay to the end for low notes I stretched my voice to make as unsettling as I could

Stay to the *very* end for a fun joke & cameo

I’m looking forward to folks reactions on this. Cringe? Yes. Extremely low notes regardless? Yes.

Cretaceous Rails is appearing on a lot of Top 10 of 2025 lists from players, reviewers, critics, and influencers who have had a chance to play it! It's a huge honor for my design to be mentioned in the company of so many other excellent games from amazing designers!

Me in like, April “I think making this years “best games of 2025” list is going to be easy peasy

How is Catte not on BGG yet
A month ago our drier broke. It’s an easy fix & covered under warranty. But the provider keeps messing up sending parts & arranging the repair

Meanwhile, in that time @dnlnwmn.bsky.social went to Japan, brought games back, I snagged some, they shipped & have arrived

No drier, but I have doppelkopf

fulfillment is complete for the TMG drop, the October preorders, and the big wave of orders that happened after the SUSD video. whew!

still need to ship retailer orders, update inventory, pay designer royalties, send designer copies, and break down all the shipping cartons.

If a publisher uses genAI "art" in their product then I make fair assumptions about their commitment (or complete lack thereof) to quality in every aspect of their #BoardGame from design and development to production.
I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.
