So very tired, but I couldn't let 2025 end without taking stock of Microsoft's embarrassing treatment of gaming, Windows, and indeed human beings while it chases the AI money train

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here. 🎥 : youtu.be/SakRUkDPxn4

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

one of the first things that happened when i started running youtube at marvel was receiving a bunch of death threats because i didn’t release the endgame trailer on a day some leaker had just totally invented as its release date

@imamagnet.bsky.social why does this go so hard youtu.be/wwidcxa3fmY?...

It is now safe to turn off your computer.

at some point we'll learn that magic made a fuckoff device in the basement or whatever, and that'll be the end of my time with it. maybe it's already happened. maybe we're all fools for thinking this can be avoided in the long run.

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

what if i introduced prof to molchat doma

One day, I stumbled upon a stack of Magic comic books in a thrift store. I bought them without a second thought. One day, I watched a @rhysticstudies.bsky.social video about Fallen Empires. Comic books were mentioned. I wondered if any of the ones I had matched what's on screen. And sure enough:

Every December, I pull up every card printed that calendar year & start Remembering Some Guys. It’s a more intense undertaking by the year, but scrolling through & recalling how you felt when a card was revealed or when it first hit the table? Rewarding. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/12/the-...

I got into Legends of Runeterra for a minute and one day I logged on and I had a deck that didn't function remotely the way it did the day before, and I logged off forever. Magic being ever-changing but not being all that agile in changing is a huge part of the game's beauty.

gavin's closing sentiments about magic cards being permanent really spoke to me

Really enjoyed Rhystic Studies' look at Fallen Empires, a set very dear to me. Sam speculates that Homarid Explorer in Dominaria may have been inspired by a puzzle sent to R&D by @loreleywrites.bsky.social, though notes that Loreley dismisses this theory. I can shed some light! (🧵)

Small @rhysticstudies.bsky.social tee restock! When all was said n done, we had about 25 extra tees around the Stitcher’s Supply offices. We’ve put them up for sale. When they’re sold out, they’re sold out. stitcherssupply.com

I was at my LGS yesterday and this caught my eye. Comparing to the binders and boxes around.

One of my favorite Rhystic Studies episodes in a while. I love old magic art so much. Check it out!!
