Apparently the new power rangers will be CGI instead of people in suits.

This will be literally unwatchable.

VHS Box 2 is done. #magicthegathering

Label set 1 done, close enough to the old VHS labels you'd see at Blockbuster. #magicthegathering

Printing a second VHS deck box in black and red for my Esper Zombies deck.

New deckbox done. Now to get some VHS labels for it and figure out which deck I'm putting in it and make some 80's vinyl lines for the outside! 100 double sleeved cards without issue, and a tray for dice in the middle. #magicthegathering

Jacob Wysocki's "you are a regular guy" affirmation lives rent free in my brain. Probably the most meaninful affirmation I've heard in my lifetime. @dropout.tv continues to be a blessing.

As a judge and event runner, I already deeply hate this card. Flavor wise? Cool as fuck. Rules wise? I'm going to spend so much fucking time explaining basic math to people that never grew up learning these functions (or didn't care to). #magicthegathering

Also finally snagged this art to finish out my "Butt Fights" deck for EDH. VERY happy one of my shop regulars had one laying around with my name on it. #magicthegathering

Player with empty hand: "I play Ensnaring bridge, nothing can attack me with power greater than zero! I pass the turn"

Me: "OK. I attack with everything at you."

Player: "You can't do that! Ensharing bridge is in play!"

Me: *points to commander, points to all my zero power creatures*

The problem with winter weather like this is I wanna eat like a monster. I haven't had "bad" food in about a month, but holy fuck I crave pizza right now.

Taking a break from painting tonight, my shoulders hurt from shoveling. Gonna watch anime and cry a bit. Feels appropriate.

I want to paint and play the He-Man miniature game.

Reminder that it's OK to not optimize every damn commander deck. It started as a home for misfit cards we loved. It's OK to embrace that and make weird little decks with weird little cards. It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. Don't treat it like a Pro Tour Qualifier. #magicthegathering #commander

Still love the art on this card. Big 80's fantasy novel cover vibes.

Some more progress. Skin is fairly smoothed. Started blocking out more of the colour. Slowly moving forward. #miniaturepainting

This was as soon as we left the book store. From the time I got her in the booster to the time for me to walk around to the driver seat, she already had one of the books open.

Having an Uncle Joey day with my 8 year old niece today. Lunch, book store and game store on the menu.

She's the best human I know and this should recharge my humanity pips for a little bit.

Sometimes I reflect on my life and realize how actually wild my 20's were, and had I been able to record half the shit I did I probably woul dhave been an early internet success story, lol.

We are entering the ugly phase. Time to glaze for the next several hours.

If you see me in the wild, I will almost never not want a hug. Still ask first, but I like hugs. I am squish

if you could do anything at a commander and casual focused magic event, what would you do?

events/formats are cool, but if you could do *anything* what would it be?

(pls reskeet because i want to see something)

@worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com Just throwing it here, because I can. But with the pre patch, and mods breaking, I understand why. BUT GTFO being broken by the choices is a MASSIVE set back for accessability that your UI and System does NOT provide. Please work with the creator and unbreak this.
