what @shoebill.moe's incredibly kind words here aren't talking up is how drop-dead gorgeous HIS art for the upcoming book is. it's been UNBELIEVABLY cool to see these characters come to life in such beautiful detail. see see more of it on the Kickstarter here! 🔗 www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...
went to a cEDH tournament last weekend & managed to solve a combo puzzle hosted by eldrazi.gg and apparently a photographer there grabbed these photos of me focusing very intensely on the puzzle lol
okay, the quoted thread here is describing a phenomenon stupid enough to finally bring my stephenson timeline thread over to bluesky
absolutely incredible advice for solo games. embrace cringe. be free. everything is more fun that way.
finally, you can listen to the episode that makes this post at all comprehensible
this is not at all a knock on chester bennington. all signs are he took the gig extremely seriously. to his credit! which only makes it stranger that they gave the person most recognizable as a real life actual celebrity and not a character the role of..."white power skinhead." what.
just in time for the end of the ranked season, snagged the silver ranked reward tier
okay so this screenshot is actually from my notes on Gravity (2013) but i forgot to post about that Patreon post on Bluesky so i am sharing this screenshot now as evidence for why you DEFINITELY want to back the @thisshouldbeaga.me Patreon you want to soooo bad
the prose does such a beautiful job of setting up this sense of community & camaraderie between the people of Ridge City, and the ways that the very genreful hoverbikers play into that
no zoom transcript, that's the not the actresses name & in fact would have a very DIFFERENT vibe for an episode of @thisshouldbeaga.me
out of context spoilers for the episode of @thisshouldbeaga.me we just recorded
we've got satirical ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶x̶ ̶e̶n̶t̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶lore, we've got swappable utility gear, we've got evil factions you're working for, we've got it all

this is 10% percent luck 20% percent skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% percent pleasure 50% pain and a 100% reason to
satah sent me this very funny screenshot of their notifications from me & yknow. does pretty accurately sum up my personal experience of marathon.
the general sea change in (even some progressive liberal) public opinion on the Washington Post after the Bezos acquisition has me feeling very validated when it comes to this image i made like half a decade ago and got a lot of hate for on twitter lmao
runners up Avacyn & Nissa—almost literally same reasons (goth) angelgirl then canon lesbian who was also an all-star in my casual Rosheen deck
mine is a tie between also-Elspeth (angelgirl, adore the art on Archangel Elspeth which was also an Arena all-star for me) and Chandra (canon lesbian, Hope's Beacon has great art & an all-star in my casual Rosheen deck, one of my favorite commander decks of all time)
oh and i made a new fucked-up son. not my finest work but i was so excited about the idea of making a modal attack trigger. manual firebending for colorless, and 'attacks each turn if able' is an interesting effect for making sure opponents have ways of removing your powerful sticker cards.
