UNPOPULAR OPINION: Spending hours gaming is better for your mental health than hours of doom scrolling through social media. Games give you critical thinking, strategy, stories, goals and actual dopamine, as opposed to anxiety.

I do love living in an era of magic where one of the hardest parts of ordering cards for a deck online is figuring out which gorgeous full-art basics I want to go in the deck.

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

I've been trying to find the polite way to say "hey absolutely we should be alarmed about the targeting of trans people but we also should also talk about how cis and trans PoC are the targets in mind bc the people who think trans women aren't women also think WoC in general aren't women"

I had someone pronoun check me at my LGS commander day today because I have purple hair. And that's why I keep going to this LGS. I've been pronoun checked there more than anywhere else in my life by different people the first time they meet me.

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

Come Returnal with @whatwilliplay.bsky.social as we go Platinum Trophy hunting!

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"

There's a special kind of fun in playing a free multiplayer game in a voice call, and suddenly, you have a full team of people laughing and trying it out for the first time. It's really one of the best feelings to go from playing alone to playing with a bunch of friends

I have a very specific weird criticism of Standard in Magic right now that I'm not hearing a lot of folks talk about. The manabase is Weird. Splitting up the shock lands with the verges in the format feels so odd to me, on top of the fast land split. Is it just me? Or is anyone else feeling it too?

It's done. Finally. I have so many complicated feelings about Silksong. It's a solid game, but not the game I was hoping for. To say more would be to say too much without saying more, so I'll leave it there and begin waiting for the content patches 🤣

A reminder to author friends to check if your work is listed in the Anthropic lawsuit and file a claim. Get paid for your work.

While everyone else was world racing, i was bashing my face into my first non PoTD solo 10-set, and I finally cleared floor 10 of Pilgrim's Traverse from 0/0. I had to swap from SGE to GNB to do it, but I did it, and now it'll never be that hard again... right? 😅 #FFXIV
