Mixed messages… (and even at Arlanda Airport)

A pile of single use cups etc, and a napkin with the words: There is no Planet B.

Today we gave away ~$10K to the customers of our customer (or more precisely, we found out that during the past weeks, we have done so). Somehow it feels much worse than more expensive mistakes because there is a number attached.
Don’t put a number on it.

Hvis reviewer 1,3-n ikke har kommenteret på det, er det vel mere flovt for dem end dig? (Med mindre du var reviewer).

I have always delegated that part to a player.

Somehow felt like a game from 10-15 years ago. When it was allowed to make fun and not too deep games as long as the experience was good. Very much like a Race for the Galaxy without expansions, but more play to see what happens.

Played Moon Colony: Bloodbath today. Very pleasant experience with low chance of slowly revealed depth. It’s light and fun, and most of all reminds me of bingo (but with the added joy of killer robots).
Right now I adore it, but I’m not sure it can handle repeated play or too high player count.

Jeg er ret sikker på det er ham der snakker lidt mindre.

Det er ikke bare dig, det lugter af stressreaktion, og dem er der alt for mange der skal slås med.
Men det er dig. Pas på dig selv og vær ligeglad med job og dumme kolleger hvis du kan (og hvis en tur til Nyborg kan hjælpe med at massere maveknuder væk er du velkommen).

Played Signal by Jasper Beatrix at work today. Was fun to see a bunch of developers debug their way through the game.
Aliens and legacy systems are more or less the same.

Played Revive today after a long break, and I am left with one large question: Why don’t we play this every week?

Also: Concrete human-hives are just as “natural” as plants everywhere! Formica IS the people!

Also, 25 hours in June is pretty decent ;)

Thanks for the thought, but online gaming just doesn’t do it for me. :)

I suspect the reality is more: There’s dudes out there idealizing rawdogging mechanisms, but refusing to play games with ponies.
