Thanks to @stephaniemiller.bsky.social for hosting me yesterday. I continue my reporting of what's happening in Minneapolis every afternoon at 2pm CST on @thegailyshow.org. Tune in to @mattmcneilshow.bsky.social and @robertpilot.bsky.social for more local commentary and analysis!

Hey! For my work on @thegailyshow.org and reporting for @am950radio.bsky.social be sure to follow me on those accounts! Here, I post randomly about video games and books. 😀

If anyone's looking to join an #mcoc alliance, mine is recruiting. We're AQ mandatory, AW optional. We run Map 4. Great alliance for progression to Cav, Thronebreaker, and Paragon. Min prestige: 8k. We're chill, with main objective of 100% exploration in AQ. Happy to share more!

I'd vote for Brad Lander on the basis of this video alone. I hope he has a job in the upcoming Mamdani administration. Those two are fantastic.

Do they not give out America Chavez anymore in #mcoc? I just opened 23 Paragon crystals, 2 5-star nexus crystals, 3 6-star crystals, 2 Science-Mystic crystals, 4 6-six star Nexus crystals, 1 Exalted crystal, & a 7-star generic crystal. Didn’t even see her in the rotating line of champions. 😭🤔🙄😵‍💫😭

I had the wildest #mcoc Battlegrounds match last night. The game froze on the ban champs screen. I waited but the red flashing icon popped up so I closed the game. When I reopened it, the match was still going! I got to choose 1 champ with seconds left and then had to fight. It was WILD.

Does anyone else save up all the units they earn over the year to use in December's #mcoc banquet? I literally don't spend a unit. 😂 My goal is to earn 3,000 units a month and I'm up to 9,967 so far. I'm already dreaming of those banquet crystals...

An armor break immune node on Emma Frost? 🙄 About the same nonsense as adding an evade node on one of the thousand spider people champs in #mcoc. It doesn't make me want to figure it out. It's just annoying. Pass.

If you give your cat a two-syllable 1st name, then you can perfectly replace "Thunder" with their name in the Thundercats theme song. In our household this is sung regularly: Buffy Cat is on the move! Buffy Cat is loose! Feel the magic, hear the roar, Buffy Cat is loose! Buffy, Buffy, Buffy Cat!

I know it would be impossible to do, but I would love to see my competitors' fights in #mcoc Battlegrounds. So many INTERESTING choices I wouldn't expect.

Just discovering how many videos are on YouTube of bands doing covers of the Thundercats theme song...and I'm in heaven.

What's a summoner got to do to earn America Chavez? Tell me RNG! For months, I have had all the rank up materials waiting just for her. #mcoc #youngavengers

I don't know man. The last week of #mcoc has been annoying. and not fun-figure-it-out annoying. more like these nodes are dumb and it feels like the designers are mistaking annoying for difficult. Or maybe I need a break.

Autumn of Agony is wrecking me. I've never had such little success and lack of improvement in #mcoc before. Time to spend hours watching how-to videos on YouTube......

When your special 3 takes down the defender to 1% health, but then they knock you out. 🤔 #mcoc 😭

If you see this, then post a gif from one of your comfort shows

I know it's called autumn of agony. But, usually, after three days of trying, I get slightly better and make some progress. But this. 🧐

Paragon! And I didn't chuck my phone once 😂 #mcoc Could not have done it without the YouTube video by Marvel King Saitama using Hercules. I watched that thing a 100 times. And many thanks to MCOC Noob and MCOC Encyclopedia on YouTube who got me to 7.4.6. I feel like I'm giving an Oscars speech.

Going for Paragon this weekend. 😬 Chucking my phone has been a crucial part of attaining uncollected, cavalier, and thronebreaker. So, good thing I bought a new heavy duty case. 😂

Ok, there are excellent #mcoc tier lists... but what's your F(wB), M, K list? Friends with Benefits: Let's have a mutually amazing night and call each other again in a few weeks. Marry: Your ride or dies. Kill: You're stupid and you're dead to me. Here's mine (partial) 👇

I really enjoyed this essay collection on finding your place in the cosmos. A cosmic #booksky

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING. I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it. NASA, ESA, CSA, K. McQuinn (STScI), J. DePasquale (STScI)

So close to having the full Young Avengers team in #mcoc. Also, I won't rank up anybody if I think their PI will end up putting them in between Wiccan and Hulkling. 😂 I added signature stones to Kate Bishop one at a time to make sure she wouldn't. Thankfully, still got max sigs and 4-star relic.

Wish I could see this. Jealous. All caps.
