Executive Director of Leder Games
Just had breakfast with @gengelstein.bsky.social and he signed my copy of GameTek! (Why did he draw a raccoon though? Is this related to all those weird mask dreams I’ve been having the last seven years!?)
Meanwhile this is what I got. How did it taste? Great! How do I feel? Bad!
Initial tests of the new Leder Games KartCam have been very promising. Though, as we say on social media, "watch to the end"...
COWORKER: So what did you do before you started working at Leder Games? ME:
Everyone's always like "Now that you're 'Bluesky official' are you ever tempted to troll the fanbase with hints about fake projects?" C'mon, I don't have time for shenanigans like that! I have to put the finishing touches on our officially licensed Final Fantasy/Root crossover game.
One week later, another geocache about a dozen feet over my head. How tall are these Midwestern geocachers!?
Very excited to bust this line out at a future Leder Games staff meeting.
Geocache in Wisconsin about 14 in the air, on a tree without nearby branches to climb, all of it right on the edge of a pretty steep dropoff.
"Johnny, that's not a restaurant, that's a world-famous hospital." lol, sure buddy, tell that to my lunch:
I'm so excited for lunch! Ever since moving to the Twin Cities I've been driving past this sandwich shop and today I'm finally gonna try it. I hope they have a chipotle-lime aioli, that would really hit the spot in a turkey wrap.
Awwww @proptartmn.bsky.social and I have a shared appreciation for the South’s finest culinary achievements, so she bought me Moon Pie and Cheerwine inspired candy bars!
“RoboRally doesn’t have enough player interaction, it’s basically multiplayer solitaire.” - someone (me) so bad at the game he’s spent the first five turns spinning in circles two squares away from where he started.
“If you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to come see me in my office.” My office:
Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they’re dealing with
One of the things that’s surprised me most about working with our (excellent!) customer service team is learning how many support tickets we get that are a variation on “I never got my game!! Where is it!? PS: I didn’t give you my shipping information, should I have done that…?”
A nice thing about working here at Nerd Central is that I can leave a Do Not Touch sign in Latin and my coworkers get it.
On clearance at Barnes & Noble. Thinking about picking it up as our next team-building activity.
THE MOST "BOARD GAMES" THING I'VE EVER DONE: I came to Saint Paul with only one game, knowing my Leder coworkers have anything I'd want to play. That game? Sidereal Confluence (first edition) Today I went to @0sjw0.bsky.social's board game yard sale and bought one game. What was it? Well...
