Why is just existing today so fucking exhausting? I'm tired boss. (note this isn't anything other than me being tired of society's bullshit)

So, here's the deal...I'm not feelin it tonight. As much as these games bring me joy (and we all know I could use a welcome distraction) I'm not sure me streaming a game I've never played before with a steep learning curve is the right move tonight. GamerDads know when to punt. Write that down.

Turn-Based Tuesday is back tonight at 8 PM ET where we pick back up FFT: Ivalice Chronicles. We got our first game over (one of many I'm sure) last week. We pick back up in the desert. Enjoy Bob confusion and anger from last stream. youtube.com/shorts/dvZbk...

Our first short this week asks the current Rules Committee to communicate a little more. Especially considering the brackets are still technically a work in progress. youtube.com/shorts/C5xns...

One year after the Commander bans, we ask what actually changed.
Spoiler: less than you think.

Bans, brackets, Rule Zero, and why Commander’s still fine.

I'd be curious to see a member or members of the RRT keep a blog over some of the discussions about the health of the format, new rulings on some cards and other things worth reporting on. The format is so wide open, you guys are so good at showcasing obscure commons, I'd love more of that too!

One year ago, Commander was “flipped upside down.”
Bans, buyouts, resignations, even threats. We called that episode Everybody Panic.

Tonight at 8:30 PM ET, me and @jessehogie.com are back with the sequel:
Everybody Calm Down.

One year later… what actually changed?

Thanks for joining stream tonight! Final Fantasy Tactics and this style gameplay believe it or not is completely new to me. I have a steep learning curve here paired with what already seems like an immense story. Strap in. Tuesday nights are gonna be interesting to say the least.

Turn-Based Tuesday is back tonight at 8 PM ET!
Starting my very first playthrough of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles.
Time to finally see what makes this a legendary classic. Man, I am going to make so many goofs.

Gamer Dad Bob 🎮 MTG & RPGs @gamerdadbob.bsky.social · 15d

Turn-Based Tuesday returns 9/30 (unless MagicCon crud gets me). Kicking it off with Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles — my very first playthrough of the 1998 classic remaster. I missed it back then, so time to finally see what the hype’s about.

Pretty sure Vorinclex claimed my energy after MagicCon.
Struggling hard to untap at work today.

Should’ve taken an extra day off… next time!

I'd be the same way. And I'm pretty zen for flying these days, but that...on a visceral level would bug me sooo much. Home soon home soon home soon!
