my main complaint about the PQ policy is that it breaks carpools. driving 3ish hours to an event is peak regional fab, and if you gotta do it alone because your passengers all won already, maybe you don't go either since it'll be boring. or the only willing driver won and now no one can go :(

i like sharing opinions on the internet AND joining popular trends! just the card games i've played at least casually enough at some point to really form an opinion, and it's my opinion of the format i played the most. some alt formats (like edison for ygo) would be much higher up/much lower

This Trans Day Of Remembrance, I’m happy that I’m still here despite it all and sad for my siblings who didn’t make it this far

watched summer time rendering recently. it feels like it was made in a lab to make me go "THAT'S TOO MANY SLICES" at how absolutely packed it was with everything between great ideas and terrible ones. but it was ambitious, and it managed to be compelling, which is all i really ask for. 7/10!

my heart aches for the people who watched haruhi suzumiya in chronological order first, whose initial exposure wasn't the absurdity of episode 00 that gets recontextualized multiple times throughout the show

i’m at a 2 year olds birthday party today, and she’s barely even touching her smash cake. kids these days are so ungrateful. you give that cake to me and it’s going in places you didn’t know existed. i’d be nationally ranked in super smash cake in 2 months

completely unrelated to LL:
i wonder if anyone has tried to make a "dps simulator" for fab before, like a wow sim but it evaluates value per hand based on a priority list and sims like a thousand games to get an idea of the average and variance as you change cards in the list

new idea: what if we just adopted the smogon pokemon format rules
cards are placed in tiers (ubers, overused, underused, neverused, etc.) and you can only play cards from those tiers or lower for the appropriate format

obv the handling of LL format this season has not been good, and i've already said my piece about how LL will never be good enough for everyone, but they're certainly trying
i wanna see a clean reset/rework with a clear message of the Goals of the format, personally. would help contextualize it imo

i never really liked m+ in wow, but fellowship is SO fun
turns out, dungeons are really fun when you don't got a quest giver in your ear telling you to collect 30 gnoll ears, kill 20 murlocs, and save the world, before you're allowed to play the cool part of the game

RIP daniel naroditsky. his chess content and sheer exuberance for the game is what got me interested in chess in the first place, many years ago. chess won’t be as fun without him around :(

it's curious that there isn't a "to be revealed" PEN hero among the sage precons. they said PEN is instrumental to sage as a format, so you'd expect its heroes to be there, no? maybe they're hiding a precon or two for later, or maybe PEN isn't a normal set that's introducing a few new heroes?

my LL opinion is that there’s functionally nothing LSS can do to make it as popular as CC. everyone wants different things. some want literally no limits (not even krakens), others want a full-on book banning, a third section wants heroes banned, etc. and people don’t find the variance fun

i've been kinda getting into genesys format in ygo, where powerful cards have point values and decks have a point cap, and it's just making me YEARN for a fab point cap format. deckbuilding with a point cap feels so crunchy and fun

sometimes an rpg shows a class and says "they're a support class, they heal and provide buffs to allies," and it turns out it has exactly 1 buff that reduces damage taken slightly. that's just healing with extra steps. i want to give my friends damage and energy and cool stuff!!
