I'm Sage: a ttrpg creator, MtG fanatic, and a graduate student at UNLV. I study educational psychology and focus on quantitative research methods and data analysis.

I love good tv and movies, and I live for a well-done period drama.
Do you, like me, hate that not every website has a dark mode? Well, here's a solution for that!
In your address bar in Chrome, type:
chrome://flags
and press enter. Look for "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and enable it. I prefer "Enabled with selective inversion of non-image elements"

Tabletop has its own vernacular, like any other sport or hobby, including "you see."

I could wax poetically about correlation to Emily Dickinson and the Dickinsian use of sensory verbs and dashes, but short answer is: the phrase almost never correlates to sight at all.

Weird, eh? 🧵1

I really just want to draw women in various sets of armor riding horses. Or flying horses. Could robotic horses.

Is there a comics writer who wants to make this happen with me?

Saw a license plate today that read "ANKSHUS," and i'm like "same, brother. I hope today was manageable for you"

It is VERY funny that people will say "commander is built on restrictions, and restrictions breed creativity, but the game designers would do better with fewer restrictions" in the same breath.
"It would give designers more flexibility" is not a good argument for changing the hybrid mana philosophy in a fan created format and I wish we'd stop treating it like it is.

Hey @bsky.app you REALLY need to get on two things:

1. Group chats. If you want more communities to be here, they need chats to connect.

2. Sending images in messages. Content creators love to collaborate, and need to upload or paste images into messages. You force them to use alternate sites

I'd love to know if anyone else feels this way:

I'm in a weird spot. Up until a year after I moved to Vegas, I had a pretty booming online social life. I always felt like I could be fully myself within the online communities I engaged with, and I felt very welcomed and even sought after

Hmmm it would be very interesting to compare vids pre- and post-transformation to determine the fidelity of the enhancement
Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels:

I recently learned that "tyrant" is a Greek word, which is a title someone would take as a ruler who represented middle class interests and overthrew the reigning aristocracy.

I think it's time we reclaim that

Hey everyone!

I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill.

I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps.

Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry.

FFX feels like the quintessential video game to me and for my tastes--rich story and worldbuilding, memorable characters, fun combat

I really love history and factions they set up in Spira, and I want to watch yt videos about it but also don't want to spoil the game for myself XD

It's difficult discussing the specificity of TTRPG language with people.

The more specific you write, the more important or unbendable a rule feels.

The less specific you write, the more loose or malleable a rule feels.

That texture informs the players as to what is and is not important.

I miss when "it's good in Commander" was code for "it's bad in every other format."

Big discussion happening on the merits of banning either or both of these cards in the coming year, so I want to take a close look at what banning either card would do for the health and happiness of the EDH community
