$2,000 isn't cool. you know what's cool? $4,000

rack em

The NPCs in Yakuza games know how to live

people are not ready to accept that if SAS runs he will be the Democratic nominee

was pretty busy this weekend but still had enough time to crush, relatively speaking. an extra $1500 or so never hurts

had a viscerally negative reaction to this design. I hate it. Hate hate hate it

"its scary and powerful and you need to understand that its too good, the thing im selling, like how when the cheetohs became dangerously cheesy. this is as serious as the dangerously cheesy cheetohs gambit. god help us, ya know?"

I do not think a taunting penalty should ever be called in the playoffs. Get real

no man in history has ever been as vindicated as this guy

This really is the revolt of the degenerates, the freaks, the guys who follow teenage girls around shopping malls, the guys who talk about 'virtue signalling' because they hate virtue, against normal people who are just trying to live their lives.

Anyone who gets fucked over by Arena Direct has my sword. All you need do is come request it

hysterical. apparently "we are out of stock" meant "we don't want to send you your prizes"

I really don't like whining and miseryposting but I really don't know how to convey how backbreaking this last week has been

Been thinking about this all day: I have never been less happy to be playing in an upcoming Magic event

update. I get a middle of the night email that "oops sorry nothing we can do" and they're going to dump the payment alongside another recent event cash-out that they conveniently just got my info for. I will be looking into legal action beginning tomorrow @fireshoes.bsky.social

thinking about the guy who Noah Rabin scrummed out of a PT invite. hope that dude gets some great karma his way for the holidays

finally got an update on my Final Fantasy Collector Boxes. ready to [redacted]

submitted by deck for Arena Champs 10. could be my last big tournament for a while so I made sure to submit some absolute gas, which I'm pretty sure is at least a very strong archetype in the format going forward

Qualifier Weekend poll wasn't quite as good

scoreboard

it would be cool if Standard decks were playable for multiple major events now

finished 36th. Good enough for a clean $7,500, which is, hysterically, almost the exact value of 7 Final Fantasy Collector Boxes

4-3 day 1 of worlds. Ready for the real prize: a free draft

all Magic content now is either a 2-hour 4-player parasocial Commander video or a 20,000 word essay called Emrakul, Ulamog or Kozilek: Which is the Best Sideboard vs Mill?

finally settled on my deck for Worlds. Now just need to get like 70 of the cards

it's probably not great that what I play at Worlds will be dictated by whether or not I can find four copies of a $100 Standard card

Played the Neon Dynasty Arena Directs over the weekend and how Sealed has come a long way in just a few years. Bonus sheets have their problems but I couldn't remember the last time I struggled to find 23 playable cards

Jeffery Epstein. man, talk about a tragedy. a guy that handsome could have had any woman he wanted

*resets Days Since WotC Made Correct Standard Bans counter to 0*

cannot emphasize this enough: we need to push the mainstream political discourse towards mass prosecution and execution of ice agents it doesn't really matter if they actually get killed by the state, but we need to build towards a society that widely agrees they *should* have been, morally

guys like Zuckerberg are so narcissistic that they'll discuss the topic of superintelligence—a level of cognition beyond human understanding—and then suggest they're smarter than it is and can exploit it for money

been playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon and really enjoying it but I can't get over all of my party members sounding like H. Jon Benjamin

"Planter" is a little on the nose for a guy who comes out of nowhere, has Perfect Online Left Opinions and also just happens to have a Nazi tattoo

ended up with 15 MH3 boxes for about $500 worth of entries. Easy format keep it coming

my opponent was quite good. really well played match. but lol

the year is 2025. MTGO still doesn't have an SMS feature to let you know when your next round is ready

finally got me EOE collector boxes!! what a relief. now just need to get the $10k in Final Fantasy product I'm still owed

The problem is for many people telling someone Shut Up is more concretely antisocial an act than spending your entire life, camouflaged using bloodless wishy washy language & magazine bylines, assembling the case for a state-run femicide.

another week, another submission that absolutely stunts on other New Yorker Caption Contest submissions but has no chance of winning

lol guess which one of these was actually "solved"

I have now received functional links for my Edge of Eternities play boxes from Arena Direct, and still haven't received an update on my 7 FF Collector Boxes, 10 remaining FF Play Boxes and now 5 EOE Collector Boxes. Weird! Wonder what sort of correlation there might be here

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

We need to bring back serial cheaters being ostracized from competitive Magic events

Wizards of the Coast refusing to pay out Arena Direct prizes to make sure they have enough to award Noah Rabin for cheating at the PT

oh would you now

sometimes I'll be having a perfectly fine day and then remember Wizards of the Coast refuses to acknowledge the $10k+ in prizes they still owe me

been busy with work but Wizards has still yet to even respond to me about my 7 FF collector boxes, 10 FF play booster boxes and my 5 EOE collector boxes. Any help is appreciated

one of the biggest self-owns with Spider-Man is that Wizards selected a property designed to appeal to younger and more casual players, but continued to cram the set full of complex cards that create an enormous barrier to entry, invalidating the entire point

I personally put a hex on Spider-Man to be a huge flop as punishment for Wizards still screwing me out of my Arena Direct Prizes (7 FF Collector Boxes, 10 FF Play Boxes and 5 EOE Collector Boxes fyi)
