Modern Lego Sucks

July 31st, 2021

I know this will make some people mad, but I am really not impressed with the modern Lego aesthetic. Yes, you can make a lot of really cool stuff out of it, but it’s become a consumer product, not a creative one. Lego has become little more than a modular plastic model kit and I think that it’s lost a lot of what made basic creative toys of the past special.

So let’s talk about it.

Maybe It’s a Sign!

Recently, 3-Minute Boardgames did a video on the impact of the global pandemic on game prices and all of the increases in costs and shipping delays associated with it. He begged people to be patient and understanding and while I agree, that’s good advice, I think it’s also a wake-up call to the entire board game industry.

Maybe you’re doing just about everything wrong.

Fighting for Bad Ideas

July 11th, 2021

I came across this today and unfortunately, it’s not at all uncommon for amateur writers, especially young, immature amateur writers, but I thought it would make a good cautionary tale that people can learn from.

There was someone who popped up on Reddit with a rather silly idea for a major mechanic in a book and even when everyone pointed out just how unrealistic, unworkable and downright ridiculous it was, he kept demanding that he wanted to do it, no matter how badly it would all turn out.

These people need to grow up.
