Why does the Union logo for the company behind Magic look like a Yu-Gi-Oh! card? 😅

Happy April Fools Day! The more you look at it, the worse it gets...
I was gonna stream the final hours of #TEPPEN tonight, but the game has been hella unstable since midnight last night. Just gonna enjoy the final hours of this amazing card game in peace. Glad I got to stream it a few times.
Lately, @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social has been collaborating a bit with Ubisoft Toronto and we got a tour of their studio recently. We saw a lot of cool stuff, but what was really cool is we got to take photos with some of their Mocap Gear! The things I get to do for this job... :D
Hey everyone, Finally got around to finishing my #AnimeNorth 2025 Photo Album! Feel free to check my annual album and, if you're a cosplayer, maybe you'll find yourself! :) #photography #cosplay www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...
Very glad I got a bunch of stuff around the city done the past 2 days and wasn’t planning on going out today. This is the cartoonish amount of snow that other countries make fun of Canadians for. Glad kids got a snow day because back in my day they absolutely would expect us at school in this.
Reading a manga called "Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games". Enjoying it so far, but I saw this panel and immediately had to make a dumb edit and now this should be a reaction image for anytime you see women do cool things.
Last week, my Shining Spark Entertainment studio and The Game Foundation charity debuted our Playing With Posters exhibit at the #XPGameSummit during #TorontoGamesWeek! We had a blast! Check out more photos & info at shiningsparkent.com/pwp If you like this, consider donating so we can do more!
Can FINALLY announce this! My Shining Spark Entertainment studio is working as a Third-Party Fundraiser for The Game Foundation charity to produce Playing With Posters, a new initiative showing game history through Posters! Debuting as a pop-up at this week's #XPGameSummit! shiningsparkent.com/pwp
My #AnimeNorth 2024 Album is now LIVE! I only went for one day last year, but I had my girlfriend in tow for the first time AND we saw so many amazing cosplays. My annual #cosplay albums have returned chronicling my experiences of yesteryear! Link: www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...
Lately, I've been getting back into photo editing from my adventures last year, starting Anime North 2024. Hoping I can get this done before next month's con. I really love bringing photos to life and giving them the bombastic colours & personality they deserve, especially for the difficult photos.
My love of the original version is so well known that the day this remaster was announced I had both my friends and students pinging me about it. I cannot wait to make time for this later. Favourite RPG of all time. 😍
OVER THE RAINBOW! 🌈 A GLORIOUS SIGHT! 🤩 IT’S LIGHTING MY DREAMS AND I HOPE WE’RE ALRIGHT! 😍 #XenobladeChroniclesX #XenobladeX
