two buttons. one says "don't press," the other says "the wrong button."
a slot machine from the bowels of history. decrepit and derelict. so old you would have no idea how to operate it. probably does not take currency you are familiar with

part of a youtube comment. it reads: That said, you are right in your assumption that the algorithm will only push negative review videos. After watching this video, all of the videos that have been on my front page from you have all been the times you're giving some kind of negative review. I had to go to your page itself to find a positive video.

Brass Birmingham deluxe box and the vacutray inside
The strategy of many publishers is to create deluxe editions of their games to increase average order value. They need to increase average order value because they need the product to cost enough to fuel the advertising needed to fuel the campaign. Roxley was one of the first companies to start leaning into deluxe editions of board games, simply because I (and our team) love the experience of playing games made from high-quality materials. So to us, the Collector's Edition represents the most pure vision of the game. While we do put immense care into the retail 'Essentials' version of our products, this is always done after we realize the pure vision of our Collectors Editions. To us, the Collectors Edition is the painting, and the retail is a print. Both can be beautiful, but the painting is made from different stuff.

If you asked reddit or bgg how NPI feels about games with miniatures, the consensus would be that we hate them. Which is absurd, and not true. Some of my best friends are miniatures.

Todd Howard
a card from a board game featuring a ridiculous creature called Vikey. it looks like a black and white lemur, but it has an absurd grin because its lips are incredibly white and have these round protrusions. by all accounts it should be a horrifying sight, but it's not. it's very cute somehow. it also has two small horns

a version of this that makes sense
screenshot of a comment and a reply by me. the comment: Is there a competition between NPI and SUSD to see who can drop the most ITYSL references into their videos? If so, I’m all for it. (Sure, I didn’t make a reference, but I am wearing a hotdog costume) my response: neither us nor SUSD actually wrote those references - we suspect someone sneaked into our offices and altered our scripts. but rest assured, we are all looking for the guy who did this.
a screenshot from the preview of the new Concordia crowdfunding page, it features a cleavegy young woman with a basket of green grapes, that look a bit like they are rotting even though they are not supposed to, and a single apple. the text next to the image reads: Refined UX & Artwork New, immersive, and historically grounded visual design with improved map readability.

YouTube comment that reads Such fantastic insights. Your reviews are art about art. If you haven't watched ratatouille recently, it's about you.
