Striking New York Times tech workers have created a “Guild Builds” page dedicated to strike-themed games you can play, including a spin on Wordle, a word search, and the custom Connections I reported on earlier today. As part of its strike announcement on Monday, the New York Times Tech Guild requested that people don’t cross the digital picket line to play the NYT’s daily puzzle games. This collection of five other games offers an alternative if you want to support the striking workers but also do some brain teasers.

wordle: my wife of many, many years. simple, but reliable. knows that no matter what, i always come back to her.

connections: my mistress, exciting and unforgettable. a definite thrill, but puzzling, keeps playing with my head.

mini crossword: the woman i see on the train every day, our eyes meeting before she disembarks. alluring and promising, but fleeting.

strands: coworker i fuck in the storeroom, only to regret it later. weird, probably drunk. very flexible.

#wordle #connections #mini crossword #strands #nyt games #nyt wordle #nyt connections #nyt strands #sorry don draper possessed me before i typed this i think #it makes sense tho. to me. feel free to add i dont play the others. fuck spelling bee tbh.#according to jules

she’s like if the virgin mary smoked a pack of pall malls every day 🚬

#sims 4 #the sims community #simblr #ts4 #sims 4 edit #mysims #drawing/editing these tears took actual years off my life #editing this in general did but the tears were my hell #her name is norma jean named after her grandmother but she goes by either jeanie or jj #she works at the local convenience store and bartends at night when shes able to pick up shifts #shes the worst bartender in existence and refuses to lift anything over 2 pounds #she once convinced a customer to buy her a sweater because she looked a little cold while working #she lied and said her manager never lets them turn on the heat and casually mentioned pennys was selling her favorite sweater #and then described in detail exactly where the sweater was in the store #all she had to do was blink her big brown eyes and call them baby a few times and they immediately folded #she goes to church 7 days a week even though she hates it because that's what she did when her mom was still alive #and its one of the few things that helps her feel close to her mom #her mom died after she had to drop out of highschool to take care of her #she holds a lot of resentment for having to give up such a big part of her life #but at the same time blames herself for not being able to make her mom better #she doesnt believe in banks and hides money around her house to store it but she's also super forgetful #she'll randomly find money around the house and then treat herself like it was present she meant to leave for her future self #she loves crosswords but treats it like a fun game and refuses to check if her answers are ever right #there's ur fun little facts about jeanie 🫵🏼

re-reading the teacher's guide to The Lightning Thief is making me think maybe the reason everything post-first series started falling apart is cause Rick stopped writing teaching guides for the books at some point and in those he talks a lot about his thought process behind the books and different scenes and the topics he's addressing within them.

similarly im wondering about comparing how he talks about his goals and the thought processes being different aspects of TLT and how that compares to the execution in the TV show and examining where it fails based on what TLT is supposed to be about

#pjo #percy jackson #pjo tv #the old teaching guides are a really interesting read tbh #also they have little games. the crosswords are fun

Hyperspecific modern era Ais Headcanon:

He still collects physical newspapers. He likes to do the crosswords.

He knows he could do them online or buy a book of crosswords, but something about the smell and the feel of the paper and the morning routine...

Edit: Danger-Bird made art inspired by this! Check it out!

#this guy is doing the NYT daily wordle every gd morning look me in the eyes and tell me I'm wrong #touchstarved headcanons #touchstarved game #can u even get these anymore?#toxintouch writing: headcanons #if nothing else he gets those local queer newspapers/zines and hopes they have crosswords or word puzzles ahahah he sends them an email lol #ais touchstarved #world wordle champion & leander is jealous #someone breaks out scrabble and we will all see blood #ais in reading glasses #with a little morning matcha #siiighhh

In case you haven't heard, the NYT Tech Guild is on strike and trying to get a fair contract.

They are asking us to support their picket line by NOT using the NYT Games or Cooking Apps.

More information on how to support the strike below.

FOLLOW/SHARE

If you would like to follow their strike efforts you can find updates on Instagram or TikTok

DON'T CROSS PICKET LINES

They have been kind enough to create a Strike Friendly version of some of the NYT Games that we are allowed to play. They've even included some recipes for NYT Cooking users! You can enjoy them here!

DONATE

If you find yourself able to financially support the strike fund, they are accepting donations here.

Was thinking about what video games Danny would like and it hit me, man would fuck everyone’s shit in Among Us. He would terrorize the shit outta other players then gaslight all of them into turning on each other. It’s one of his favorite things

Danny is the one friend in the group that absolutely decimates in any around that he's an imposter, and sometimes even when he's not he'll still lie about shit for funsies. It gets to a point that as soon as a new round starts everyone immediately calls an emergency meeting to eject him within 15 seconds.

#ask #penntoxide #also hmm idk if he's really a big video game person tbh. maybe more modern ones that have really in-depth story modes and interactive #but i think to him they'd feel more like a waste of time. if he's bored then he can do a crossword puzzle in the paper or something

#27% circle line with a lovely friend of mine rail tracks screeching etc etc u know the usual. im just gonna write down memories #a few weeks ago my friend read thus spoke zarathustra by the fire to the music she was dancing it was her silhouette #against the flashlight lit up gold and royal blues and tiger's silk i tried not to fall in love with her. in bordeaux we searched #for pomegranates he sent her 300 quid by the beach she cut it open with a knife her hand covered in red we each had a taste of her work #sweet red wet the sweetest grit. too barely clothed to go into the cliffside church they painted my eyes we painted hers #8 shots of gin she screamed joyfully IT'S ALIVE! at the book she said become the child i said i feel like a monster she said i was insane #i tried to believe her. fortified wine and later a red pen crossword defiled by humidity her hair in my hands two king sized beds #pushed next to each other she took her top off she told us to watch her arms raised up the musculature on her back was precise cut from #marble we saw oceans we saw the birds take cold baths the midnight sun over a wasp-infested pool our chemicals in their bodies #gold flakes dark skin gold cross shoulders against mine drawing some form of each other on the train i didn't hesitate #to say her eyes were beautiful over and over monks at the soapshop with titanium credit cards i loved you like i loved no other #he tied his hair up and walked us into the river he held a bullet between his lips i never held his hand he said what an honour #you own too much capital your mother thinks i'm a natural i realised i haven't told my mother i loved her in years she's always been mother #never mom i'll watch you watch seaweeds this is terminal akrasia i'll feel your fingers smear perfume on my lips your girlfriend grins #bite into the straw take the shot hold my hand get it all wrong draw in the sand kiss him right stab through leather shower in chlorine #you're the determinable vicissitude is all yours we won the Game AND the Battle AND the War i'm proud of you like crazy we feed each other #saffron cliffside lovers well-fallen brothers fat cats blue windows southwest sun ALife SynBio design aXAA grow us a city in silico #we've grown to the ends of glee fire-jumper ocean-eater sure-footed lists on lists hands on eyelids не устану искать тебя #...anyway ive put my face on this blog b4 but hiii again #feel free to rb btw the rants r not personal

Would you believe me if I said that I thought the thumbnail of the teaser for the new Sonic Racing game said "Sonic Crosswords" and got really excited for it only until I saw the car and re-read it?!

Would you?!!!?!!

I want to write a crossword puzzle just so I can have a clue "you just lost it" and the answer is T H E G A M E.

#Sorry #The game #crossword puzzle #post o' mine #I actually wrote one in high school while I wasn't paying attention during class. Can't remember the theme #But I think it was mostly ok #A couple sticky corners #It's tough. Props to anyone who can donit

"Do you think your characters would be into video games if they got to play them? What games would they excell at?"

#jeff_yoshi #jeff #video games #fifa soccer #fighting games #tetris #solitaire #chess #i see charles as being very good at space invaders and dragon's lair #i see edwin as prefering playing cards and board games and crosswords and stuff like that
