A little PSA about what this platform means to me:

Bluesky is to be my escape from the horrors of the real world since every other platform is for clickbait-ey garbage that only feeds my anxiety.

I will keep discourse here to a minimum, instead focusing on the silly games we all like to play 🫂💙

1/2 A little sad venting coming in, regarding Magic the Gathering.

Some years ago I really enjoyed doing freelance work for MTG. I play the game and the type of art you get to do for it is just a lot of fun to work on. In the last few years WOTC switched out their entire AD crew which resulted ->

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

SO excited to get this piece from the absolute legend and HOF artist, Greg Manchess!

It's especially special since I got to watch him paint it in person during a 2hr live paint at @ellistrator.bsky.social's Characters in Context show out in Trinidad, CO

Ann Radcliffe eating hard cheese right before bed to give herself nightmares, Stoker claiming Dracula was the result of a nightmare induced by a “too generous helping of dressed crab,” let’s go back to the golden age of eating incredibly rich food before bed to create horror literature

Okay I'm clear! In abstraction, it makes sense. The ongoing health of that as a format then would be contingent on there continuing to be a healthy amount of non-UB products, and my guess would be we're gonna be at only 30-40% original IP going forward...

Gotcha, so would the intent then be more around design restrictions vs. actual development? Similar to PrEDH?
