I am so stoked to be going to #CubeCon this year. I am going to hang out in the booth with @bkowal23.bsky.social on Friday and dust off my commentary hat and talk about our ongoing #vintagevstype1 fundraiser.

The change away from keys is insane to me. Was using a key too complicated? Fobs seem so much less secure too

Only one of these I haven’t seem is Perfect Blue. All 9 other movies are effectively perfect so I guess I have to watch it.

I think it is important to put out there that one of the leads of #mtg himself used a slur in this otherwise well meaning post.

I'm not here to argue about UB or the changing landscape of Magic. Just that we all need to back off that word when "reseller" exists.

It's the final day of #VintageVsType1. Proud to have helped raise over $1000 to fight Type 1 diabetes. I'll be streaming until 5 pm CST on twitch.tv/mistymountaingames. The streamers have been all doing great and we are less than $4000 from our goal.
