Happy autumn solstice, everyone. I’m doing nothing but sipping tea and playing D&D until the snow arrives.

The game I've been working on for the last year now has a Steam page. store.steampowered.com/app/3911770/... Wishlists are always appreciated <3. #Indiegame #indie #gamedev #villagesim #Indiegames #indiedev #vota

The internet was far cooler when interaction was distributed across small, indie websites. You could find a website for your interest, and bam! there’s a forum attached with people hanging out. Reddit and social media has brought us all into one room where you have to scream over the noise.

A new art-icle on @hipstersofthecoast.com, it's my very first Grand Art Tour for a digital set! Through the Omenpaths is top tier, and I couldn't help but talk about some highlights. Check it out! www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/09/thro...

Did some product photography for my local game store. #MTGxSpiderMan

Here’s some good things you can do for yourself or community right now: - take a walk around the block - put laundry away - wave to a schoolbus driver - donate unused clothes - talk to your neighbors - read a book under a tree - go to an event at your local library

This transition panel is cool as hell.

For @hipstersofthecoast.com, I wrote about how aspect ratio informs Magic art—and poses a problem for the art of Universes Beyond, esp. Spider-Man. I tried both to ID why the set’s art felt so inert to me and to elevate the cool experiments within it. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/09/aspe...

Hello everyone! I am currently looking for a bit more work through the end of the month. If you need some communications help, advice on your social media presence, a bit of copy writing done, or similar, let me know! :)

Mr. Boenau (@urbanismspeakeasy.com) nails it here - "Line up, inch forward, unload. It looks like logistics management because it is logistics management. We have turned the beginning of a school day into a miniature supply-chain operation." www.urbanismspeakeasy.com/p/the-dehuma...

Happy First Sunday of Football Season, everyone 🥲

Out there, somewhere, @vorthosmike.bsky.social is texting someone a photo of a dog with the caption: important

The visual balance of playmats last night 🧘

A tale of two pups.

PSA: new @trasgomorph.bsky.social piece just dropped. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/09/ceph...

one of the best parts about editing for Hipsters of the Coast is I get to read @trasgomorph.bsky.social articles before everyone else does

Always thankful for the local library.

@hipstersofthecoast.com reached out this summer and told me he was getting the band back together. It was good to play with Magic & meaning again. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/09/phil... #magicthegathering #MTGEOE

Recently learned I'm the same age as Stu here. Hell yeah brother we're making chocolate pudding.

@rhysticstudies.bsky.social You put me on this path. The horror you’ll never forget… Dandân on “VHS”! 3D printed box, inkjet cover, laser cut slipcase. Still mucking with the design, but I’m reasonably happy with this version. Room for 80 single-sleeved cards + tokens. #magicthegathering #dandan

That's the wrong coffee cup. If your coffee doesn't come in the blue and white cup it's probably too fresh and cost too much money.

Did some filming with the fine folks at @thejanklord.bsky.social this weekend. Release date TBA, but it’s going to be a fun one.

Jeep angry eyes are my favorite pointless car accessory. A design associated with liberating Europe and people in 2025 are telling themselves “Nah, it’s not tough enough. This needs eyebrows.”

Day 962 of parenthood: I cried at a Bluey episode for the first time.

8th birthday is good, you can stop growing up now.

@thewaroncars.bsky.social real Garden of Eden situation going on here.

Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night on the House floor after refusing to agree ‘to round-the-clock monitoring by state troopers’ www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...

On early January 5th, 2023, I stopped trying to fully keep up with what was happening in Magic. I can name only five Duskmourn cards. I don’t know how The Ring tempting you works. But I’ve never felt healthier and more lovingly connected to the people in Magic than right now.

Made Top 4 with Ellivere Stax in my store’s $100 Budget cEDH tournament. Despite entering the finals as the 1-seed, I got flattened by the 4+ sweepers played over the 2.5 hours. Great event, format, and most of all: people.

Locked a cEDH table out with Drannith Magistrate for the first time, and it feels ✨great✨

Another article by @mtgplowshare.bsky.social on @hipstersofthecoast.com today! Ryan explores the delicious land design of #MTGEOE www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/08/find...

Local chess scene update: There were three games firing before I even got there. We brought in 11 tonight, the most ever. Cable news coverage, posting on local Facebook groups, and word of mouth is catching on. 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

Considered playing Magic at the store tonight until I remembered I have all winter to do that.

Babe, wake up, new @trasgomorph.bsky.social piece just dropped. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/08/the-...

Most media demands some amount of suspension of disbelief to enjoy in. But what if everything is working against that suspension of disbelief? Can the Magic of the media still be maintained? A few thoughts about wrestling & Magic: www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/07/its-...

Think of how many cards this has tutored for in the past 27 years.

Took an extra turn with Final Fortune and ended up dealing 200+ to the table. Long live Magic.

A new Mirror Gallery Grand Art Tour on @hipstersofthecoast.com is out! It's been 18 months but it's good to be back www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/07/edge...

My local game store has free hygiene products in the bathroom. Recently they added the tear-off tab flyer for the Women’s Center. Values are posted in the play area for all to see. If you want more women involved in your gaming community, you don’t have to pin it on having a product to sell them.

This was the Billboard Top 100 when the Jets were last in the playoffs.

My son was fighting sleep, so I brought him to Krynn. Somewhere over Xak Tsaroth, swinging from a lift pot filled with draconians, he drifted off. Thanks, Margaret and Tracy.

It’s @vorthosmike.bsky.social’s birthday today. Post photos of your dogs.

Friends, I need your record player and speaker recommendations 👀

The record collection has been packed up for a while, but now it has its forever home. Here’s some from the first bin:

Y’all should read Ryan’s work.
