Quotes (from this video)
- Secret Hitler to me is essentially social deduction at its most baby. It's a baby game.
- I absolutely detest it. I think it's one of the most uh maybe the sin of our uh decade. You know, the 2020s is a decade of FOMO.
- Yeah. I hate the fact that we're that we're uh essentially manipulated into giving an interestfree loan and build as somehow saving money or getting the thing that nobody will ever be able to get. All of it feels bad.
- Zombicide to me is flavorless. like the core game is essentially like the most generic unimagin uh uninteresting kind of gameplay and then you stack things on until uh it appeals to you by some uh crossmarket appeal like you know I think there's a DC or a Marvel zombicide I can't remember which one now there's you know zombicide uh white death or white plague or something like that and you just keep stacking things on until you find something you like and then the person's like oh I like Danny Tjo let me buy Jasicide so I can play as Danny Treyo. And I'm like, it's it's just functionless or formless. There's no interest in mechanics behind it. It's just like here's product after product after product and it's like Funko Pops. It's like you're collecting Funko Pops with your goddamn board games. I'm like, I don't want to collect any more Funko Pops for this [ ] board game, you know? Like that's how I feel.
- Earth to me is like the ultimate ultimate feelgood game. Like you are going to find success in Earth no matter what you do.
- Um, and to me, uh, the feeling of progress without any kind of uh counterbalance to any kind of like feeling of uh impediments, it's ultimately hollow. It feels like there's no actual thought being put into my actions as much as there is just actions being taken for the sake of an action being taken to hit my little dopamine in my head and then I walk away feeling like, "Oh, I did something with my little [ ] Sahara Desert and I put [ ] bamboo leaves in here and now I feel good because I have this environment." There's it's it's just literally it's numbers in a spreadsheet that you're just playing with until you get an output that makes you feel good. And to me, that's not really an enjoyable experience.
- >> Phil Uckland is a [ ] idiot for some of his uh political beliefs and you know his anti- u uh uh uh climate change uh positions that man-made climate change isn't uh real I believe and also his essay on uh British imperialism that was in the first PAX uh premiere if I remember correctly. Uh those are [ ] idiotic things to say uh and I disagree with them vehemently. Um, but he's a [ ] genius when it comes to game design. Like he might be like one of the greatest minds of game design of our time.
- I I think the the thing is like I care more about people thinking about like the process of religion being created. That's what I care about. I don't care about what the end result is necessarily. Like I don't care about like the the the morality of religious doctrine. I care about how it's been implemented and created and used as a tool. You know, that's what I care about.
- It is. It's the Wikipedia of board games
- You can't be afraid to like say something that's going to make people mad.
- It's not going to be a game that you're going to be able to play with your grandpa and your like, you know, your whole family around the table after a nice Christmas dinner.
- I I don't want to collect any more Funko Pops for this board game.
- I I feel like those ones are like kind of like they're indicators of quality again, you know, like I'm like when I see an AI thumbnail, I'm like I I get like a little icky, you know?
- I I think thumbnails are like an art of itself and I'm trying to perfect it.

Quotes (from this video)
- We are going to get another copy so we can experience some of the other parts of it that we couldn't finish.
- I didn't think I was going to like this game. I really didn't.

- Easy keep that one. It's one of our favorites.
- This one's hard.

Quotes (from this video)
- The game isn't like, 'No, no, no.' The game's like, 'Whoa, you're beating me so well. Well done.'
- This thing had me opening it up on my laptop on the couch. I never have played TTS on the couch before. That's how I know that this is an absolute banger.
- The rule I said the rule it's it's the idea that I said of like every rule that I add needs to be 10 times more fun than it adds.
- It is so important that you do follow the order of operations.
- I love that as a player. And to to full circle of what we were talking about earlier of like what is fun I don't know. I only know what I enjoy. So I lean into that and hope that other people enjoy that thing as well.
- The dice in this are obviously the equivalent of the deck building in Bolatoro.
- I I I love making stuff. So, yeah.
- The rabbit holes end up being my most profitable thing.
