@ryanoverdrive.bsky.social what do you think is the best starter Twobert for experienced MTG players and cube players? Original Recipe looks great but wondering if you think Vintage, Tempo, or even something like Peasant is most rewarding for people who already play a lot of MTG and different cubes.

Who do I talk to about my by 4 year olds lack of prioritization skills?

Sad to see the complete vacuum of creativity on display here. No story to tell, no point of view, just a crowdsourced crowd pleaser that only exists to make a billion dollars for a studio desperately trying to stay relevant.

This is what the ideal work station looked like before we had debase ourselves with standing desks or yoga balls.

My top 5 favorite fast food chains. 1. Culver’s 2. Taco Bell 3. Panda Express 4. Potbelly 5. Jersey Mike’s McDonald’s would be #6 but this is a top 5 so strike that from the record.

My top 5 sandwiches: 1. BLT 2. Smash burger 3. Fish taco 4. Chicago Style Hot Dog 5. S’more

Had a nice long chat about Studio Ghibli and video games with @lewisgordon.bsky.social for this piece for the New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/a...

I’m hungover and mad at Star Wars. Happy Father’s Day.

Your reward for navigating the scariest place on earth (Costco parking lot) is immediately having to navigate the second scariest place on earth (inside the Costco.)

My ill-advised second podcast, What's That in Your Pocket, is now on Bluesky. Give us a follow to keep up with the latest episode about handhelds, emulators, and my latest grievances about what I can or can't play in bed. @pocketgameboys.bsky.social

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

(to the tune of Arabian Nights) 🎶American Pope🎶

My kind of Pope, Chicago!

Co-worker: hey- are you busy? Me: yeah I’m trying to figure out if the new pope is a Sox fan.

Our colleagues in the Vox Media Union have put together a Go Fund Me. Please, if you've enjoyed what we do... If I've ever helped you in some way... If you've ever loved something more because of what we've written... Please give what you can. The next few weeks and months are going to be hard.

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

This Polygon news is utter trash. I don’t know the full story but once upon a time @charliehall.bsky.social plucked me from the internet and let me write some amazing articles about my favorite game and it totally changed my life. The whole gaming world lost something important today.

Been there amiright

These websites can't handle our loads.

She assumes (mostly correctly) that no one will look up her voting history.

CG and production design actually look great. Could be a fun time at the movies but I'm not sure how I feel about doe-eyed, melancholy Reed Richards.

I've ignored everyone's advice and started another podcast with my buddy Shane. A fortnightly handheld video game show called What's That in Your Pocket? On this week's episode, we discuss our experiences exploring The Mount Holly Estate in Blue Prince.

Why would the world’s least successful business man do this?!

I’ve been testing the weed part and so far the results have been very promising.

Common Side Effects is so good, gripping, and funny, and depresses the shit out of me.

This is our first hint that the movie is going to be an unwatchable mess.

You know that feeling when you see a post by someone you barely know and it makes you think of a specific scene from MacGruber and you want to reply with the clip but you're not sure if they'd find it funny? Well, this is the scene youtu.be/S91N_A3vis4?...

Why isn't Faithless Looting the best card in Modern? On this week's show, we look at the history of the card — all the way back its original spoiler — followed by a dive into many of the decks trying to play it in Modern today. Stream the show at thedivedown.com or wherever you get podcasts!

Faithless Looting was unbanned to make Detective's Phoenix playable.

As the days get shorter and ennui sets in, it's okay to try vitamins or supplements to help elevate your mood. A great one that works wonders is smoking.

I don't think it was me either but that day was kind of a blur.

When it's time to retire, you can cash in the decades of collectibles you've accumulated by bringing a plastic bag of trading cards to an expensive convention where someone will offer you a modest bulk rate based on an eyeball estimate of how many cards are in the bag.

I have bought and built an Ikea Kallax at least 5 times and I'll probably do it 5 more times before I leave this mortal coil.

Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting is 😻

Eventually you will buy the same digital Magic cards 30 times across as many different apps because that's what it takes to play at Pro Tour: Spider-Man Block Constructed.

In order to be productive you must first unsleeve and sort all your Magic cards until there's no more random singles lying around.

Hi it's your friend Magic the Gathering, here to remind you that your cozy brew is bad and you should just netdeck something that won a tournament.

We were promised an elf deck in Standard! We were lied to.

The doctor is in. For a very special episode 300, we sit down with THE Richard Garfield, inventor of @magic.wizards.com and great-great-grandson of President James A. Garfield. What is Magic as Garfield intended? Now we know. Stream the show at thedivedown.com or wherever you get podcasts!

before i got banned from this online poker site i used to tell people i was driving the whole time i was playing and they always lost their shit

Talked to some Brits about Tories and learned that Thatcher is infamous for shutting down coal mines. So I said, "well that kind of sounds like a good thing?" To which one slowly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and said quietly, "she destroyed communities, Stan."

Are the Bourne movies good?
