The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool being broken had the potential to be mildly amusing if it hadn't been broken THE DAY BEFORE WINDOWS 10'S EOL.

Also, their PC Health Checker can get into the sea, because THAT WAS BROKEN TOO.

Akroma, Angel of Fury! When I was first learning to play (in 2005? 2006?), I remember drawing this card, reading it a couple of times, then casting it as a Morph. My opponent (who built the deck I was using) saw me do this, went a bit pale, and said "Oh, shit."

Finished watching the pilot for Knights of Guinevere.
A great concept with sharp tongue-in-cheek commentary, excellent voice work, and animation that turns from charming to grim on a dime.
Dana Terrace and Glitch have made something unique and brutal and lovely, and I want more

I'm going to put aside the weird feeling of seeing a saint born after I was, but since we know the guy was big on halo 2 there are now people who in 2004-2005 got fragged by a saint on xbox live

Chrono Trigger is one of those games I wish I could play for the first time again. What an experience.

Pledging because the premise seems cool, the Dodecadonuts folks seem cool, and I crave chaos and making kitchen mischief.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Happy to move my purchases to my local game store or union shops like Card Kingdom in support. I'm joining the boycott and encourage my fellow card gaming enthusiasts to do the same.

I am familiar with this establishment - an excellent game store where I got a bag of wonderful light roast coffee that smelled of marzipan.
