Yes yes, SUSD Effect and all that, but this is a thoroughly well deserved development

The SUSD video review of John Company is maybe the best thing they've produced. Way to go, Tom!

Current board game controversy is basically people arguing that if X inspired Y, then Y should pay X money and, my dudes, if that were true - I would have to pay too. But I aint paying SUSD a cent.

if u want to know how 2025 is going for susd so far, i have "imagined" a podcast that we never recorded, and had a filming session voided by someone having a whole flat makeover downstairs (loudly)

we'll be starting up the channel again..... nEXT WEEK!

SUSD says City of Six Moons "is rare and it is fascinating" and said I am "one of the most curious, relentless, and innovative designers out there right now" and that is exceptionally kind & gratifying to hear.

I mean, the SUSD/RRD moment was very real, I understand.

Me: I need to up the prop budget.
SUSD: what prop budget?!

The world is so strange sometimes. The designer of a boardgame I've been interested in getting since SUSD reviewed it followed me off one of my hornyposts

Wait so u can’t get susd on this app right

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.

Made a stink about this on the birdsite and encouraged people to be involved.

So far, media entities that said they won't work with AI board games:

SUSD
Actualol
RTFM
Charlie Theel
What's Eric Playing
Senet Magazine
(and us)

Who did I miss?
Absolutely not surprised that Terraforming Mars is now using AI (stands for "art infringment) software to create their game.

Always been the company and the brand that was on the bleeding edge of the zeitgeist.

When I started writing about board games (thirteen years ago, holy cats!), it was because nobody was creating the form of criticism that I wanted to read. I liked SUSD, I'd watched some Dice Tower, but despite finding them informative and amusing, they weren't treating board games as culture.

kevert almás süti dióval vagy almapalacsinta! vagy csak egy seprenyővel párold/süsd meg egy kis vajon mondjuk + méz + fahéj, mellé joghurt, granola és szuper reggeli (én holnap ilyet eszek)

On June 18, Shut up & Sit Down (SUSD) published a video about Shikoku: 1889. This is the recent YouTube analytics for my how to play video of that game, where you can definitely see the SUSD effect happening to not only game purchases, but also other video views!
