Rest in peace Nakadai, you were my favorite actor When I met my wife I was going through a Kobayashi kick so we watched a ton of him together His range in Harakiri alone is tremendous, but Ran and High and Low are also up there in all time great performances

Lots of good changes. Strip Mine is misery incarnate and never should've been legal in Brawl. Glad to see Entomb go in Legacy. Would've liked to see Troll freed since it was intended as a light nerf and now we have an actual ban

PSA: Magic Online is giving out all-access passes until Wednesday w/ code REPAIR2025

lol this turn two

I am LIVE for another EOE Sealed Super RCQ. How's my deck? twitch.tv/calebdmtg

Had a blast streaming Blood on the Clock Tower! Viewers had a good time too. The plan is to keep streaming Thursdays at 7pm CST. Next week I think I'll do my regular cube stream first and then do a quick rules/script overview to transition

Oh hey a wild @emmapartlow.com

Dude lied, repeatedly and unabashedly, to the press and to Congress, to trick us into war. Families lost members forever so his friends could profit, and if that's your definition of a patriot then your opinion isn't worth a bag of beans

Definitely caught the bug my wife had. Kinda nice knowing exactly what I've got coming--some 3-4 days of coughing and bed rest. One of those days looked rougher than the others Going to be doing shorter, single draft streams for a few until I get better

doing a bit of research for a vid I'm working on and apparently the original 2012 Holiday Vintage Cube had 12 legendary creatures out of 215 total (with seven being ramp/cheat payoffs) while the 2025 Arena Cube has 58/203 (with seven being ramp/cheat payoffs) so, Karakas has gotten a bit better

First trophy of the Arena Cube is up on youtube! And to the surprise of everyone I managed it with boros cards www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcow...

Happy Game was a disappointment. It lacked the world building, characters, and epic fable-type conclusion of their other games I've played. You just navigate some edgy scenes and it ends. Like if the Mickey Mouse short The Mad Doctor was a game. Their usual art quality and surrealism is there.

The new powered cube has been a refreshing change of pace. I’ve gone from losing to Boros on MTGO to losing to Boros on Arena

Good news: delivery app screwed up your order. Lunch on them! The lunch: more pretzel bites than you've eaten over your entire life

17lands early data for powered cube is fluctuating because they still don't have enough games but, to the surprise of no one, boros is indeed cracked

you can make a collage of your steam playtimes playtime-panorama.superserio.us Wolf AU, One Finger DP I enjoyed but they're both inflated from being left open (One Finger intentionally, it's a good minimize for later game). A few are from my ex playing on my account (trigger h, skyrim, dangan r2)

For variety friday tomorrow I have four spooky-ish games picked out that all have 2-3 hour run times Happy Game (little boy in a horrible nightmare) No I'm not a Human (paranoia and anxiety in the end times) Redtape (satirical walking sim) Arctic Eggs (you flip eggs and people are normal)

Powered Cube can be so fast and swingy! A smaller entry fee would be less feel bad for arena players trying it out

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook: “The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…” Some cards for context and the set list: scryfall.com/sets/drk

Anyone taken in by a blackwater merc with Nazi ink needs to be less credulous

What are people's favorite covers? I think my favorite is Allegaeon's cover of Roundabout. Just a perfect mixture of nailing the energy + adding their own twist youtu.be/73WTnRa0d6M?...

Hot FUCK Kal El had a banger of a live show. Small venue and small crowd and melted our faces off. That's the shit They were stoked to sign my vinyl too! "We have a sharpie back there let me grab the rest of the band" Such good vibes

1-0 in the UB mirror. Otters hitting and drawing well.

Ok! I was curious about the differences so I went over it card-by-card. Feel free to check out the vod: www.twitch.tv/videos/25995... Basically of the 106 card difference, 72 Arena cube cards fit my definition of "regular mtgo cube rotation" (cycled in within the past two years).

To see if I'm being unfair in my first impressions here I'm going to go over the arena cube in closer detail 106 cards is a relevant difference for sure. I'm curious how many of those cards are universes beyond, and how many are part of the MTGO cube's regular cycle twitch.tv/calebdmtg

Besides Booster Tutor (which is admittedly cool), the Arena cube looks like it could be a MTGO cube changelog. IDK why Zach's article spends so much time posturing about making the arena cube distinct, as it's mostly the same shit minus a few LOTR cards they didn't want to pay for 🤷‍♂️

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Hmm no new cube to stream today, so I'm audibling to a game by Amanita Design I ADORED Botanicula but haven't played their other games. Today I'm running Samorost 3, a whimsical puzzle adventure game where you play a planet-hopping gnome. I expect the vibes will be immaculate twitch.tv/calebdmtg

There's something there in that many R lawmakers profit off anti-lgbt grift while closeted, and supposedly Grindr usage spikes during R conventions, but something feels off about just saying "Grindr" as a punchline. Without making the connection it just reads like casual homophobia

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Worked on a duplicates--friendly version of 93/94 cube on stream today. Def open to thoughts and ideas: cubecobra.com/cube/list/af...

This looks freakin' sweet

We played blood along the clocktower for like 6+ hours and everyone had a blast We even had someone just watching and they were having a good time. What a good game

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

My con pickups. Couple Indy rpg zines and a piece of original art

This crane gave no fucks

Cubecon day 3 starting strong in the Jarvis 'yube with two equally powerful picks

🥳

My first draft #cubecon rankings give some ideas as to my goals for the con. I always include a couple favorites from past years Will adjust as I go based on what gets crossed off and word of mouth as to what people are hyped about

Mirrari LD in the hank synergy cube. Cube owner was excited someone drafted LD for once and then ended both games w no lands in play 😄
