Most every day, I ask Amazon Alexa to tell me a joke. They are mostly dad-style puns. You can ask for Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, superhero, or many other genre categories but they are uniformly harmless, with nothing gross or offensive.

Until two days ago.

1/
Two days ago, I was subjected to a joke I did not seecom9ng.

Far from the harmless punnery of the other million Alexa jokes, this one will make your feet stand up on end.

You will never see your Alexa device as innocent again. You may never see ANYTHING innocent again.

2/
I have been haunted by this joke, and I tried to carry this burden myself.

I cannot.

Forgive me, I am now sharing it with you.

Forgive me, all souls.

HEY!

You GUYS!

1/
Yayyyy! Okay, on Sunday I did a #TableTopGails thread, but it had to be broken into two parts. WELL, HERE IS THE SECOND PART!

And it’s got some of the COOLEST STUFF!

Let’s look! Please feel free to jump in with questions or comments, that’s the best part!

Legal note, all these games today were given to me, I didn’t pay for them, nor am I paid for commenting on them. All opinions are my own. I have not played most of these yet so I would love to hear from those who have! I do this for the love of games, hooray!

I have an ethical question and I am curious what you would do in this same, real-life scenario.

Tell me what you would genuinely do, in this situation, if you are willing.

It still kind of bothers me, and it's been ages.

When we just left college, my husband worked as manager of a store that made beautiful handmade office furniture. He did not have a delivery service, people had to pick these huge desks and things up themselves or make other arrangements.

2/
One day, a couple came in, an attractive, affluent middle-aged couple, they lived about an hour and a half from the store. They needed a huge piece on short notice, and had no way to get it delivered. They asked Hubby if he could do it, he said he could not.

Okay, you guys wanna see the bizarre and wonderful and oh so cool mystery box that landed on my #magicporch today? I had no idea what this was or who sent it.

But it weighs a ton! I mean, it’s huge and heavy!

1/
Okay, opening it up, is this leather roll, which says The NEVERS on it.

I have not yet seen the show!

I open the roll and it’s...

Really nice screwdrivers?

?

2/
AM I BUILDING ROBOTS?

I have no idea!

As I said, I had no idea this was coming, what it is, or who sent it.

Just that it’s huge and weighs a ton.

Under the screwdrivers is a huge, handcrafted wooden box. With this lightbulb symbol. It’s locked.

Dear games publishers, I have a bit of a question.

You know I love you and you have been lovely to me, but I have a question about many of your websites. Maybe I’m wrong, and if so, I would love to hear the rationale.

All friends, just curious.

1/
I have mentioned that on some websites, even for big companies, sometimes jargon is used which noobs might not understand. I get it when that space is limited, but on your own website? Some people might not know what ‘legacy,’ ‘drafting,’ and other terms mean. HOWEVER...

2/
On some sites there is something that is even more confusing. I like to buy games with a beautiful design, or gorgeous components. Yet I find a LOT of publisher sites don’t even show the back of the box. Just the front and a brief description.

Show the first video game system you owned.

THE FARM DOOR 3000

Then in college we all pooled our money and for a PONGSTAR 866, which had no display but made various beeps which you could pretend were paddles.

I remember a rich friend had the FIRST ‘3D’ game system which had to be taken off the market because it literally stabbed you in the eye.

THE COLECO OCU-STAB!
