come to the Colorado nightmare slides i have something to tell you

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 9h

see if you can spot the subtle tell of "i had to go pee real quick in the middle of my run"

I hate running but was pretty locked in for the "keep heart rate at 150 for 43 minutes" overall

nice to do some proper structured running again

me and my 7 crab buddies getting shitfaced and burning the bar down

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 9h

it is, at the very least, a nod to the same horror archetype as Dwight, that's pretty indisputable

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 10h

i would agree if Through the Omenpaths was good, but in my opinion, it feels like a knock off

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 10h

also just to emphasize it, I would love them to do in universe versions, I just would like them to all be good and not reek of rush job

they have stated that spiderman was originally a much smaller set and they had to retrofit it up to a "still small but we can still legally call it a set" and you can absolutely tell

It feels like a last minute call due to the other smaller products (ass creed, MoM) were like, thrashed

like if you are a spider punk fan excited to finally get to play your guy online! tough shit! You can't! You get *checks notes* Kraza

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

oh bonus kicker, they fucked up bad when licensing spiderman, so if you're playing on any digital client... you don't get spiderman... you get blorbospider steven of the webbed plane

it has made content pretty awful as people constantly have to remember what card is what name in paper v. digital

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

Also the kicker, WotC before *every single one of these decisions* had previously promised the playerbase they would never do it

player trust is essentially at zero lmao

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

nope! Due to the extreme scalping of Final Fantasy and the outrageous push of Vivi, playing Standard, the rotating "easy to get into" relatively cheap format

$650 deck lol

its fucked

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

it was, 3 years ago

and then it became "ok new cards but only for casual formats like commander" which was shitty but ok fine

this year its "new cards also they're in competitive formats you cannot look away if you want to play you will engage with them"

so, you can understand the annoyance

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

it is largely a problem of capitalism is clearly and openly hurting the game, and its being exacerbated by it also being 2 sets taking place in new york city after 30 years of Ravnica, Lorwyn, etc

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

also from the aesthetic/story perspective, mtg has had a pretty constant lore dating back to 1993!

It'd be like after 30 years of lord of the rings they were just like "we're putting batman in it"

It's *pretty* understandable to be mad at, from about every angle imo

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

nah, it's entire new sets, and its rotating the game at asinine speeds (7 sets a year is too fucking many), also many of the sets have been retrofitted sets that were supposed to be much smaller, but that product style did *very* bad, so they kinda last minute made em full

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 11h

friends at the bar pog

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 1d

yeah the 300% combos were revealed recently and its just

Uvo gamma crush until it hits, confirm into ToD, incoming unblockable, ToD, incoming unblockable, ToD

If they block gamma crush in a punishable way, pop x factor, active tag, whatever, don't give your turn up... its rough lol

TieTuesday @tietuesday.bsky.social · 1d

yeah its really annoying lol you're right

did it ever go on sale? I feel like it released at full price and never went down and I'm into it but not full price into it
