Comic retailer, game retailer, Magic player, movie and book lover, person who takes everything 5% too seriously. Too weird for the normies. Too normal for the weirdos. Always the wrong guy. Let's fucking go.

I missed the first one. Will NOT miss this one.

One important related element - It did produce two of the best arcade games of the era. People my age may have watched the movie once or twice, but we fed an infinite about of quarters into Tron and Discs of Tron.

Return to Ravnica. The number of fantastic designs plus the first reprint of shocklands was fantastic.

Just saying I'm the opposite of YA 😄

But glad I saw your thread, I'm excited! Good luck!

If I don't know the source of such a post, blocked.

If I know the person personally, they get one polite warning explaining this stuff is all theft and immoral. Second offense? Blocked.

I know I'm not the target audience, but I still look forward to reading them! :)

Just saw this thread, and I went to look -
Worth pointing out to retailers they can preorder this book from PRH right now! Any retailer that carries comics should have a PRH account. I'm putting in an initial order right now!

Very much the same here. Went in with modest hopes for a fun action cartoon. Got that mixed with a treatise about fascism, autonomy, and the dangers of fame and idol worship and a healthy dose of trusting your friends when they put their trust in you. Really great.

I found the fifth person who watched Transformers One! Movie was amazing.

I think June 14th showed LOTS of people are panicking.

But between bent algorithms and feckless news coverage, seeing it on the screens is a challenge.

Unchanged calendar right once a year.

Like GOAT, the word legend is thrown around waaaaaay too loosely.

The famous Live the Dream Cube. It's like playing 40-card draft Commander with a bit of build up then big splashy plays and combos.

Close second last year was Zac Hill's Standard Cube. Fun, highly interactive game play.

Have fun at NYCC! I'd be there if it wasn't right on top of #cubecon! :)

Funny, to me Ball Lightning is probably the best use of Haste. :)

Plains tribes, especially the Comanche, were also famous for doing it. Who started it first is unclear.

It is a slur.

Tim Stoltzfus @morefuntim.bsky.social · 3d

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.

Did you know there is another word you can use that isn't a slur to represent people who reselling product?

Stop using that word. It's a racist slur.

At the absolute BARE minimum, send him a secret lair. Don't make him queue in line for a broken system, or buy it from an ebay scalper.

Tim Stoltzfus @morefuntim.bsky.social · 3d

Ok I am starting this #mtg thing tonight since even messaging actual WotC people has resulted in crickets.

The use of a racist slur when referring to the resale of product needs to stop. Especially when the term "reseller" is perfectly apt and and doesn't insult a group of people.

Generative a.i. is trash and theft. That's it.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I still don't know if my first one was the best thing I ever did - or the dumbest thing I ever did. Had no idea what door I was unlocking going in :D

Reminder that I started a new series for aspiring comic book self publishers and those that want to break into creator-owned comics or a literary publisher. I cover getting an agent and creating a proposal. Great for narrative designers / screenwriters that want to try something new. #makingcomics

If I had no moral compass, I'd be a millionaire, at least.

But here we are.

Izzin't even close.
