This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy??

Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

also does a surprisingly good job handling game design theory as a whole too, at least the two ep. I've seen so far

it at least handles it better than New Game does, which feels so surface level from memory

It is incredibly "twee" to an extent, even for a 'cute girls doing cute things' show

but I adore how legit dedicated it is to board games - having actual games per episode & in the BG, licenses publishers and all helps really sell the love it has (+ giving social games its flowers too)

decided to watch it on a whim this month, but I'm actually surprised how much I'm enjoying After School Dice Club

not that I was going in expecting garbage or anything, I just expect to dislike any show completely focused around video games/board games at this point

Hey it's kind of a uniquely awesome time to hire me right now.

I'm a talented, professional, versatile voice actress with an excellent work history. Experienced in video games, audio drama and animation. Whatever your project is looking for, I know I can deliver in spades.

Screenshot from Walfie's Nonograms.

Pixelart is shown of a notebook containing a drawing of Walfie jumping in excitement, while congratulating the player for finishing the game. The text in the image reads:

"Congratulations!!
You've completed all the puzzles!

Sum of best times: 11h 42m 30s"

Walfie's Nonograms (2026)

Has easily become the best Picross game for the Game Boy, by far. The GB already was a great fit for quick pixel-art based puzzles, but this also provides the needed modern QoL additions as well as fun and charming references for its puzzles. Truly a delight.

sin in the rain (2006)

This... was very lame and wack. It's the most "this feels like it was a failed pilot" more than anything else I've watched, but even with the runtime it uses, it doesn't give any strong reason to be captivated by its characters or mystery.

The Muppet Show (2026)

This was great! I don't have a huge reverence for the old format, but this was still super enjoyable and felt like the perfect light humor I've been needing for a while. Sabrina was also a great choice for a first guest. Hoping their greenlight goes through!

Taiko no Tatsujin (2005)

I actually did not know Taiko had any type of animation, let alone a series of claymation shorts, so this was a delight to find. That said, the humor is very much tailored for elementary kids so don't expect a riot. I still got a chuckle tho; reminded me a lot of Molcar!

Getter Robo (Movie, 1974)
Afro Samurai Pilot (2003)

Spelunker is about 40 minutes and feels like it treads all its laughs within the first 5, which says my piece about it. Getter was fine for its time, but is basically just an episode of the show. Afro was fun & short.

Kyousougiga (TV, 2013)

This was fun, if maybe kind of all over the place. I don't know if I felt any strong connection to its underlying story about family and having a place in the world, but I also don't know if it really cares to either vs. being a show stopper. It is, so still good but also ya.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval β€” which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump
