does bsky know about the mtg microformat i made?

It's called Cait's Cage Match and it's a fast paced 1v1 format with custom decks (and some super cute deck boxes i had made!) link to a video explaining it 👇

If you've played this pls let me know your thoughts 🥹

literally for the entirety of the last two days I've been like "hell yeah i remembered what color my door is, I'm doing the best at this" lmao

a few days ago i was telling someone about how i have basically 0 visual memory

he was like "i used to think that about myself to, but then i realized i had visual memory of my door, mailbox, things i see a lot"

i go "oh yeah, my door is blue, maybe i know this better than i thought"

my door:

red

have they?

Nile (like the river) @nilejoan.com · 2d

before you jump down my throat for what i didn't say, i do not care that people are excited for anything on the horizon for this game

I'm just like, not. and that's okay too ✨

the pace of development, the quality of the sets, the sheer number of crossovers

none of this is ultimately going to matter

you'll still just go "omg holy shit!" when it's your thing, and you'll forget the history of the sets entirely

it is what it is

here's how i know magic is going to thrive under the UB direction and the last nail in the fortnitification coffin has long been nailed:

despite Spider-Man being one of the worst sets we've ever endured and basically everyone hating it, people are just mad stoked about TMNT

i am here to tell you that the OG net runner ccg has one of the worst rulebooks of any card game I've ever played

it rivals the spongebob tcg in terms of usability

there have been a handful of times that people have sent me shitty things that someone said to them and they're like "what's a good clap back for this" and i always say that just ignoring it will make that person the most upset

...but i DO be replying lol we all have our vices 😌

people need to recognize we are in the peak of rage bait meta when it comes to attention. Its moved past just ppl on the internet its a strategy thats now being used in larger advertising. That album thats SOOOO bad you gotta talk about it. Rage bait. And it works as long as you keep falling for it

CW: threats of violence

someone said this re:the joe brennan stuff and just like...

a guy in downtown seattle today approached me and my gf and told me he was sent to a facility for "murdering every woman he saw by fucking them to death"

i was wearing a band tee. my existence evokes this response
