I wish I would have seen this while I was holding down Gathering Grounds!

I totally would have shown up to meet more cool people.

Thankfully, it’s never too late to meet cool people!

Gonna need a new eternal Discord link posted to the Linktree to do so. I’ll BRT, @disabledgamers.bsky.social!

The moment it becomes illegal to burn the American Flag is the exact moment our country deserves to have its flag burned.

What I wouldn't give to become somnambulant.

How are there people in this world that are walking around oblivious & happy; not wracked with worry & fear as this country & the world descends into an entropic hellscape?

I just want a day where I don't wake up & go to sleep afraid. 😔

We cannot stop them by just boycotting at this point. They'll just pivot to other IPs to pull in new buyers.

It's weird to say but the best way would be to act as a players union & strike (refusing to attend events, buy product, promote new releases etc.) for a protracted amount of time.

5. Hasbro sees the return of established players + the continued revenue of new players (even if some leave after their ip is done) as proof that their system works (& technically they aren't wrong)

6. The cycle then repeats with each new set.

4. Apathy & a desire to keep up brings the established player back because there's no indication that the boycott worked & we all just want to play.

Grubblethorn - MagicCon Atlanta @grubblethorn1.bsky.social · 5d

Hasbro has created their own infinite loop.
1. At this point UB has disrupted multiple formats disenfranchising established players
2. Established players try to stop buying product
3. The UB aspect brings in new players offsetting the boycott

Definitely, funny story, I haven't seen it live in a movie theater. My first Rocky Horror Experience was at a church youth group overnight 😂. We were very unsupervised 🤣
