APE is also on FB (apegames), Insta (ape.games), Bluesky (apegames.bsky.social) and Threads (ape.games). I use @buffer for interacting with socials, and I can only have a limited number of socials through that app, I'll not be posting on X as much.

I went to the Green Lake, WI fair as I saw it was sponsored by fellow publisher @riograndegames. That's weird, I thought, since RGG is in AZ and Green Lake has a population of <1000 people. I'm glad I went, the RGG table was giving away free games to everyone! Plenty of titles.

My very, very good friend and confidant for the past decade, Harvey, shuffled off this mortal coil a few weeks back. One of the highlights of Harvey's later years was #thefarmersdog dog food. To my joy and surprise, they sent this #livelyroot plant to express their condolence!

There's still one day left to check out Shrine: Duel of Light - the fast-paced, tactical 2-player duel powered by LED lighting, on #Kickstarter. This one is by our friend and designer Richárd Ámann (Trickerion, Perseverence). buff.ly/X3qCZ8i

People who know me know I vastly prefer written reviews of games over videos. So I was happy to give Jonathan at GeekDad a pre-production copy of Whale Riders to play. It's a very good write-up with excellent photo work.

Whale Riders by @ReinerKnizia is in CN awaiting shipping. Our idea to offset tariffs is a @Kickstarter for both Whale Riders games together at one low price and FREE SHIPPING. You get the games at a great price and we get $$ to pay tariffs!
