Nothin else for it

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this.

In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

We've got a new favorite in the house:
@nerdgeargaming.bsky.social Rock Guard sleeves

Our content involves sleeving, lots of shuffling, and unsleeving EVERY SINGLE STREAM and we've been using the same set of Rock Guards since Q1.

Sincerely y'all: these rule. Try 'em!

I always hope that the videos about cards that make me design-nerd out will do as well as the “omg bahroken” videos

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

The wildest thing about #AkaneBanashi to me is the way it hypes up this constant process of learning something to get the opportunity to learn something else, on and on forever. It’s FUCKING GENIUS

King Trump’s reign continued this week, but there were big moments of pushback.

We discuss these profiles in courage, other seeds of hope, and No Kings Day 2.0 on the latest Coffee Klatch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wG6...

Honestly some of the hardest videos I make are when the answer is something like “… because it just is” in my brain. Weirder cards are way more easy!

Just in time for Halloween

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · 3d

Panel 1: Shen is looking down at his hand from a somewhat bottom-up perspective, saying "y'know, I think it's time I learned to draw hands."

Panel 2: We focus on Shen's hand from his perspective. It is very simplistic, looking sort of like a water-inflated white rubber glove with 3 fingers and a thumb.

Panel 3: The text says "*horrible cracking noise*" as the hand transforms into a realistic 4-fingered hand (albeit still paper white, as that is Shen's skin color). The panel is decorated with a spiral of chaotic, shaky black and yellow lines.

Panel 4: Shen is looking down at his hands, which are now both realistic, large 4-fingered hands. He says "Oh HELL yes. Now time to get that YAOI MONEY."

kinda glad the word "simp" (specifically in the context of swooning over some character) pretty much replaced the word "fangirl" in public lexicon, fighting misogyny one day at a time fellas

I remember when I first saw this post and my biggest takeaway was how much introspection it took to actually identify my top three priorities _in practice._

You can’t reprioritise without knowing what you’re giving up.

What are your top three priorities?

I definitely over-state how consistent the “four damage” is when casting this, but if my commenters are allowed to live in Magical Christmasland then so am I

ike, im sorry pokemon fans for liking both pokemon and digimon, but that's not gonna stop me from loving both.

y'all gotta stop making this thing as some sort of "if you're with digimon you're against us" type of deal, it's embarrassing

This - even more than we outsiders, they are aware of the late changes the set went through that affected it, not least it being the first Pick Two format.
