No #fabtcg PQs because traveling, but got my Kanazawa Good Foil ice cream, so I basically won

Also, obligatory food photo for those who want to see the Prata we got there

At a Hawker Center today, I’m pretty sure that one stall’s cash register is just a pile of newspaper the guy is putting the cash under (left of the pot in the photo). If it works, it works.

Update: finished the Australia leg of the trip, and it was a blast. Sydney is definitely a city I’d consider living in if it were closer to the rest of the world, and seeing the Great Barrier Reef was awesome.

Update: went 4-1 in Swiss (2nd seed), won the QF game, took the promo, then dropped so I could go to sleep.

Nothing like running into friends also visiting the city

My in-laws bike 12 miles for the ride. We bike 2 miles to the deli. We are not the same.

Crown jewel of my collection is a baseball signed by the artists at the first #fabcw #fabtcg world championship in 2022. It’s also signed by Michael Hamilton (first world championship) And James White!

Why use my foil when I can inflict free psychic damage via syncopation?

I may have missed a round start day 2 of the Calling NJ and got knocked out of the money by the IP, but grabbing this ©️2018 uncut Ira starter deck sheet was totally worth it #fabcw #fabtcg. Also, here’s a baseball with art from all the Worlds2022 artists, JW, and Michael Hamilton signatures

Really fun. My lovely wife, Abigail Elaine, appeared on the local CBS affiliate’s Great Day Washington program today where she discussed hormonal balance and shared her nutrition bar business, OVU.

But we’ve got scallop risotto at home!

High Seas #fabtcg prerelease today. Went 3-0 with this harpoonless cannon pile. Also, pulled a CF EA Dead Threads for helping the store out with Gem, so good day so far.

Armory at CardArt in Sunnyvale, CA. There were 7 of us surrounded by YuGiOh players. Ended up with a Bye, Loss to Jarl, and Win to Cindra as Rhinar again. The Jarl game was really close, decided by two scabs rolls to 1 in a row. #armoryrecap #fabtcg

What a novel yet innovative solution to #fabtcg Living Legend System. New heroes LL too quickly: slow them down! Old heroes stick around too long: Speed them up! A hero is broken early on: get in a ban while they're still at 1/2 speed.

Sonoma county is really nice this time of year

I really love playing #fabtcg armories while traveling. This week was my second time at the store, the previous in 2023.

Returned to OP Comics & Games for a #fabtcg armory while visiting my in-laws. Ran super hot tonight going 3-0 on @rhinarceros.bsky.social’s Rhinar list. Probably got 2aps off scabs 70% of the time, enough to fatigue Jarl. Also, pulled the marvel in my gem pack! #armoryrecap

So, the main question on everybody's mind: Now that the Pope in Italy is from Chicago, does that mean he'll finally put an end to all of those who doubt that Chicago style pizza is, in fact, pizza?!?!?!?

Baseball with signatures and drawings from all the artists at the @fabtcg.com pro tour London #fabtcg

For some reason, pancakes and cake pans don’t go together. You’d think you could use a cake pan to make a pancake, but that’s never how it works out.

A tale of three Risottos. Before London, Abigail and I spent a week in Italy. Milanese risotto is yellow because of the saffron they use, Verona’s is purple because of the locally-grown wine they add, and Venice’s has seafood. They were all delicious, regional, and totally unique.

Judging at the #fabtcg Pro Tour London was fantastic. An extra super congrats to @pintorpin.bsky.social for taking it home yet again!

Been having a blast judging at #fablondon

Looking forward to seeing who wins the calling and PT tomorrow!
