Just finished playing through Flywrench and had a jolly good time. Really undeservedly obscure game considering it had a cameo in SMB.

im a total wherle-pilled Arcscel, im breachmaxxing

Y’all have got to stop trying to teach people magic with edh

creep but thom yorke watches too much anime i wish i was sugoi you are so fucking sugoi but i'm a weeb im a wehaboo

happy circulatory system walking through the kitchen day for all who celebrate

well i mean, it's saying that it's hiding AI images right there, so I can only assume that's what he looks like nowadays

I don't play EDH, but I'm reflexively pro-changing the hybrid rules because all the people against the change are making the actual worst arguments in the universe, there's NO WAY people are this attached to such a fake mickey mouse house rule as the color identity rule.

Since this is, apparently, something that still happens to me, I have decided to invest into fifteen thousand identical copies of a shirt that looks like this

You all know my canonical list of character traits, right? Quick to anger Easily distracted Likes using complicated words for no reason Loves gold This will all serve me well for the new job I'm starting on monday: teaching maths to cognitively impaired kids, for a pittance Master strategist, too

I believe this is the best thing I have made www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0J...

Most of the time when people talk about "YuGiOh cards that look like Magic cards", or the other way around, they are working off a caricature of what either game looks, like and as such they are completely off base. However, this is dead on for something that could've been in Pharaoh's Servant

hey gang, it's my birthday. you have to say something nice about me, it's the law.

WHALE, WHALE, WHALE, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

i don't really like pre-modern that much, but it does have its moments

Just remembered that a couple years ago when I'd out drinking and would get so fucked up I'd struggle to walk I'd just crawl up to a corner, close my eyes, and try and recite in order all the rules for layers to make sure I still remembered them. "A very in-character anecdote", this was just called

do you think powerscaling is deeply entrenched in human nature? everytime I watch malcom in the middle clips on youtube shorts there's always someone trying to scale the kids

#mtgmoxtober thread, let's get it

For today's article, I'm just griping about why "fun" is a bad word for critics. spacebiff.com/2025/09/30/a...

1 HOUR IN, 10% OF THE WAY THROUGH, THIS IS GOING WELL

VERY SHORTLY i'll be live on twitch to RANK EVERY SINGLE SECRET LAIR WOTC HAS EVER MADE and settle once and for all the question "precisely how many good Secret Lairs do you need to make in order to amend for the sin of making one dedicated to Dwight Schrute?" www.twitch.tv/siberian_rab...

i fell to my knees, and cried i never thought i'd see the day we got there, broski. we got there.

As always, the best part of the new YGO announcement is all the pendulum players crying about it. The fact that there's going to be dedicated Genesys YCSes is the one unbelievable bit of the whole announcement, that's a bet I definitely would have lost. Curious to see how this goes.

I can't really speak to it cause, y'know, don't play the game, but "Maxx C being legal is why we (OCG players) did so bad at Worlds" really sounds like cope to me

I decided that I cannot live in fear anymore and I refuse to capitulate to the woke mob. I WILL speak my truth. Everyone says that Mozart won the Skrillex vs Mozart ERB. That's not true. Skrillex's parts were better.

the fact that we dont talk about games like arcs and root when talking about artistic/thematic/political expression in tabletop games points to a fundamental weakness of rpg-centered games discourse

I cannot be the only one that thinks that, in regards to Hungry Burger, Rush Duel doing "what if FRIES was EVILLL" is mind-numbingly boring, and the regular game doing "what if Burger was the crown jewel of a haute cuisine french restaurant" is genuinely an amazing bit

One thing I really like is when games have these random cards that work unlike any other card in the game. Even if the actual in-play effect isn't that strange, I love that for one reason or another these weirdos exist. This is now engagement bait, post your favorite unique one-off.

Superman got me in a comic book mood, been rereading TDKR. Do you think that in this sequence panels 5&6 are separated to foreshadow that the Joker is going to meddle with Two-Face or if it's just that Frank Miller got a bit too hyped about the 4x4 structure for a minute and didn't wanna break it

I was trying to do some research in prep for Nolan's Odyssey next year, but this profile of Ulysses was just 700 pages about the sublime agony of being, the inherent fallibility of perception, and the tyranny of the British. Also my epub seems to be corrupted, a lot of punctuation is missing.

an idea that's been nibbling at me for a long time now and I'd like to sit down and explore someday is something along the lines of "AU where instead of being created in the early 90s, tcgs are about to hit their centenary"

Latest episode of will if the councel is an all time great, holy shit, three bangers Agree with Joseph on the last one, justice for my boy with the movie-illiterate wife

A thing I really like is when someone asks a question like "What's the highest amount of damage you can deal in Magic using only X cards?", and half the comments are like "I dealt 10000 damage in a turn once, it'll be hard to top that!" and the other's like "Do you know how to read arrow notation?"

The difference between a good artist and a good scientist is that the former should seek to prove themselves right and the latter should seek to prove themselves wrong. This is why philosophers are scientists and mathematicians are artists.

I think that if in 2025 you spend any time at all complaining about those nasty reddit atheists being such assholes you have lost the plot. That's not someone I could ever consider an ally, but it's especially spineless if they are also an atheist.

I cannot play Amulet Titan on Arena, and conservative estimates tell me that I won't be able to do that for like 5 more years. This is like a pale shadow on the wall of Plato's cave. It's still hitting the spot. God thank you for Lumra.

List of Joycean situations: - You have a really bad tummy ache and feel like a witch cursed you - You are a pathetic scrawny nerd that feels like they are better than all their friends - You can see the path to a better life. And you just. Can't. Follow it. - There's a 19 letter long made-up word

it happened AGAIN?

Sometimes people are like "If Konami wants to sells more packs they should make draftable sets", and I think that they are really failing to appreciate that if Konami decided to adopt Set Rotation tomorrow it would be a massively less disruptive change to the way they design sets than draft would be

@mbtyugioh.bsky.social man what the hell are you talking about I just spent a good couple of hours looking up 2015-2019 youtubers and what their most popular stuff was. It's 95% casual and/or slop. In order, Dzeeff, GalacticGod, Slaydra, [cont]

So, on paper Gemini monsters have an absurd value proposition. The idea is that you are trading tempo for power, you manage to develop a monster over 2 turns and you get something really good, except most gemini monsters have such underwhelming stats and effects they'd suck even as regular monsters.

really unconvincing video, unfortunately www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks2-... Joseph's a terribly sharp guy that's held captive by his upload schedule, I've found almost all the videos he's made with this discussion format fairly lacking, they could've all have used 10 more minutes of runtime and

hi @siberianrabbit.bsky.social

Underrated moments in YGO's history: apparently, a high priority for the release of Gold Series was correcting the italian, spanish, and french prints of Rare Metal Dragon to make clear that it's not a rare dragon made out of metal, but a dragon made out of rare metal yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Er...
