I wish I could just ignore it and pretend that transphobic wizards don't exist. I wish I could go a day without it being shoved into my eyes by the algorithm (and not the algorithm). It's just a pervasive property. It's everywhere. And it's a constant reminder that transphobia is alive and well.

The next Magic un set should be a universes beyond set and completely standard legal. Perhaps Weird Al themed.

I miss when Kickstarter was in the early days and "I have an idea, help me produce it" was the norm. Now you can't go to Kickstarter without full art and being basically production ready.
Those days didn't last long, but they were nice.

I'd love to try and get Oops All Bangers and Cryptid Currency picked up by a publisher, but at this point I'm not even sure where to start looking for publishers again. I wouldn't even mind trying to get Heckin Hounds in the hands of another publisher.

Today's been an objectively bad day and doesn't seem to be getting better. Happy New Year I guess?

Watched the professor's worst of magic 2025 video and I don't really agree with a lot of it. Not that I'm saying he's wrong. He's welcome to his opinions on the state of the game and claerly is more informed and deeper in the community than I am.
Spiderman, however, did mostly suck.

My friends have all been gone for the holidays, but they're back now and we got together to play a bunch of Magic tonight and caught up over holiday drama and everything going.
Honestly had a really good night, and absolutely needed it.
The come down afterwards has been rough though.

Apparently there's a new security exploit with TTS that allows users to join non-private sessions, mess with your mod, and run scripts that cause your computer to crash.
Once again. Stop using the terrible board game software. The pile of reasons is a mountain at this point.

Great moments in Limit Breaker:
Ignis vs Hildibrand. Ignis casts his Limit Break, Chocobo Kick, to kill Hildibrand and turn him into dinner. Hildy got ate.
Hildbrand still won the game, but it was hilarious none the less.

Pretty cool new tidal update actually tells you what the daily mixes are! No more randomly clicking on them and trying to figure out the vibe!

Wrote a lot of words on this one debating limit breaker choices, the value of scry vs surveil, and picking based on mana curve.
Looking forward to some plays of this deck to see how they all compare.

"Favorite Things" white elephant: failure
One particular individual brought like 2 bags of presents that were literal garbage. My gf opened a box that had spark plugs in it. We were told she could sell them on the internet.
Why? What the fuck.
