Taking my very late lunch today, I found this. I sort of wish I hadn't.
It's nominally a kickstarter promo for a Christian boardgame, which is decidedly odd because it leaves one with the distinct impression that the creator went to an all-night David Lynch/ Takashi Miike retrospective before making it. I found it impressively disturbing for something that is completely G
rated, only 30 seconds long, and probably took less than twice that to
shoot and upload.

Where I write Stuff About Things. At this point 'Things' will include a lot of games, science, and politics. Unless I decide the politics isn't playing well with others and gets a sideways promotion to its own department where it can come to terms with its own divisiveness.

And this time, I mean it!
Looking back on my 35-odd years I've spent a *lot* of it on various forms of what are generally referred to as "games." Board games, video games, RPGs, MUDs, MMORPGs, and even several non-acronym-able sports - though I suppose if you need to enrobe them in nerdier parlance - 'popular abstract LARPs.' Sure I've done lots of other things - helped start and run a vaguely successful business, spent both far too long and far too short a time in school, discovered sex, drugs, (listened to) rock and roll, found love, the whole marriage and kids thing etc. Most of them have made me a very happy man. Despite all that, I spend a lot of time thinking about games, playing games, and talking about games with those communication-adjacent individuals who can at least feign interest in having my ideas inflicted upon them.
There'll be more. You'll see.
