A BAD MIX: This week, the Twitter account, @TerriblyBland, posted a thread calling out nerd industries’ tendency to do networking at bars, especially during and after conventions. As ever with nerd discourse, the claim was met with a lot of support…as well as some very staunch opposition. Andrew and D. Bethel look at the original claim and examine the overall conversation.

- Citadels creator, Bruno Faidutti’s counter-argument to the @TerriblyBland’s claims (the English version can be found at the bottom of the post).
- American game designer, Mike Selinker, offered a thoughtful argument supporting @TerriblyBland’s claims.

- “Action Noir Theater” (29 July 2016): Episode 100, Part 2 where our hosts reveal the first part of an intended series of the audio drama, Nick Springer. With a bonus, heavily-produced opening where a song by D. Bethel brings Andrew back from being trapped in the rift between space and time!
