What's wrong with the Monster Hunter Secret Lair?
I'm barely aware of Monster Hunter, so as far as I could tell it was just fine.

I need an AU where Mirko took Froppy as an intern. Both have quirks based on jumping animals, so Froppy could have learned a lot of combat skills from Mirko.
It would also probably be great for Froppy's image, since Mirko likely gets most of her following through social media.

My car broke down a couple weeks ago. The repair costs exceed the value, & have for a while. It was time to upgrade.
Now I've got a new(er) car, but I'm broke & deeper in debt.
Not asking for help. Just shouting into the void. Hard work & fiscal responsibility just leads to falling further behind.

A Reddit user posted his idea of Universes Beyond brackets to see what people think is acceptable in their Magic games, and I decided to break the whole thing down.

Y'all ever go looking for an example of a trope, and it just isn't getting used anymore?
I KNOW I've seen cartoons and videos of lumberjacks eating pancakes, but for the life of me I can't find any right now. Except for clips of Kipo.

Got a rough weekend coming up, so wanted to start it off by shouting out 10 awesome folks:
@burninginquiry.bsky.social is a talented and prolific journalist: edhrec.com/articles/aut...

Josh Nelson wears many hats. They are a music journalist when not writing gaming news. Beyond this, they're a scholar of the Sweeney Todd urban legend, a fan of monster-taming RPGs, and a filthy Aristocrats player. Josh has been playing Magic since 2001 and attributes their tenure to nostalgia, effort, and "aesthetic".

Wizards of the Coast’s new partnership with TCGplayer makes sense from a financial perspective, but there’s a lot of vitriol for the retailer in the Magic community thanks to their union-busting maneuvers earlier this year.

I have no idea what #tiktok guidelines this video could have violated. Incorrectly flagged as a scam, maybe?
Anyways, go get your free 200-item bag expansion.

This afternoon my son called "Dada dada" to get my attention, and when I turned around he bent over and started wiping the floor with the paper towel he found.
I spend so much of my time trying to keep this house together, that cleaning is what he associates with me. He isn't even two!
