@ryanoverdrive.bsky.social what do you think is the best starter Twobert for experienced MTG players and cube players? Original Recipe looks great but wondering if you think Vintage, Tempo, or even something like Peasant is most rewarding for people who already play a lot of MTG and different cubes.

Sad to see the complete vacuum of creativity on display here. No story to tell, no point of view, just a crowdsourced crowd pleaser that only exists to make a billion dollars for a studio desperately trying to stay relevant.

This is what the ideal work station looked like before we had debase ourselves with standing desks or yoga balls.
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

McDonald’s would be #6 but this is a top 5 so strike that from the record.

On this week's show, we journey into the world of Vita mods, including Stan's first foray into Gravity Rush. Shane also plays some Tony Hawk 3, and we map out the possibilities of Steam Deck's new GeForce NOW app. Stream the show at whatsthatinyourpocket.fireside.fm/9 or wherever you download pods!
Level 9: Vita Means Life
Stan picks up a Vita and discovers what life truly is as he gets heavy with Gravity Rush. Meanwhile, Shane is still (mostly) only playing games with a resolution of 160x144.

With life stuff causing a delay, we're back with a long episode full of the good stuff. In Level 7, we talk about our Switch 2 preorder experiences, what we've been playing, get in the weeds on Clair ...

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

This Polygon news is utter trash. I don’t know the full story but once upon a time @charliehall.bsky.social plucked me from the internet and let me write some amazing articles about my favorite game and it totally changed my life. The whole gaming world lost something important today.
