Could I get a hat wobble? (November 29, 2025)
And a Flarhgunnstow?
Down in the mörk (November 28, 2025)
I spent last weekend at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia. It had been a long time since I’d last attended a tabletop gaming conference of any kind with my game-loving partner, and I pushed to have us attend this, both because-of and despite how it slotted perfectly between two other interstate trips that filled out most of November for us. We traded away a chance to catch our breath at home for several days of exhausting overstimulation that reminded me why I love non-digital games at least as much as video games, and caught me up on recent trends and innovations I’d been missing. It was a terrible idea, and I regret nothing.
My commonplace safe space (July 30, 2025)
Five months after my last post announcing the revival of my notes blog under a new title, I re-revive it with a new goal: a commonplace book, kept by and for me, but readable by the public. This is what can differentiate notes here from posts on Fogknife. To this end I’ve added a tags page, and will start tagging my ’Twas This posts as of right now.
’Twas This is a notebook by Jason McIntosh. It has an RSS feed, and accepts responses via Webmention. For longer-form writing, see Fogknife.
