Battle Hardened Dublin this weekend! Haven’t had much time to figure out what deck I want to play but seem to have finally landed on one.
Hopefully I can put hours in to getting familiar with it this week! #fabtcg #BHDublin

Dungeon Master losing patience in our five year long campaign that my character Zatherine Jetacones won't move into a square before I can "roll for lasers" and, regardless of the result, start narrating that I stick my big ass in the air and lower into a spread eagle split to avoid any goblin traps.

#fabtcg . He went out as he lived. A legend and for one last time, best deck. We’ll see him again but for now, rest. Now…. What the fuck do I play this weekend!?
Viserai, Rune Blood has reached Living Legend in Classic Constructed, and will no longer be legal for official tournament play from Friday, February 28.

#fabtcg Qualified for Irish Nationals today with a top 4 finish at the amazing Sligo RTN. Looking forward to a lot more trips to Serious Business in the future! For now though, we prep for the final RTN of the season and it’s my local one. Best deck is dead. What’s next!? 👀👀👀

Turns out that once they name a card after you, you can pretty much just get away with anything. But hey, congrats on winning* the event! And also being the front runner for Player of the Year (no asterisk big enough). Great representation for the game #fabtcg

One down! Made day 2 of the #fabtcg Calling in Prague this weekend. I punted hard on the second draft but lessons learned. We’ll cash the next one 😜
#fabtcg goals 2025:
-Convince the wife to be cool with me attending BH Dublin and PT London in back to back weeks.
-Win a RTN/ProQuest. This top 4 routine is for the birds
-Day 2 or even cash a Calling
-Maybe get back to some level of content creation with FAB as a focus. Maybe.
-Keep having fun.
Hopping on the #FaBTCG 2024 goals trend

- Learn how to play Kano in CC and LL
- Win an second CC armory
- Make it to the top 32 in Irish Nats
- Do better than 3-5 at Calling London
- Try and get some LL points for Nuu (this will be by far and away the hardest to actually do lol)

Overheard on plane. “James Hetfield’s story is darker than Kurt Cobain’s” That guy is in for a fucking shock when he gets to the end of Kurt’s biography.

Hang on… it’s called what!? Kiseki, Trails of Cold Steel, you’ve peaked…
January 1, 2025 at 11:00 PM
According to PS wrap up, my most played game for October November AND December was Trails of Cold Steel 4. As of 11pm 31 Dec, based on treasure count, I still have 1/3 of the game to go….
I either need to game more or completionist less! Looks like I have my most played of Jan sorted already 😂

Hyped for this. Less than 3 weeks to go! Sealed events are funny and not knowing the pool is even funnier. Still though, winning more than I lose is the goal, day 2 being the aspiration.
Join us for an epic weekend at World Tour: Prague!

Watched about 2 mins of this video and was just angry. Fuck these two guys. Cowards and idiots.

I cannot appreciate a public facing content creator who uses their platform in this way.

Played Enigma because who needs to build new decks
Rd 1: Boltyn-W. I ended on 39.
Rd 2: Ira - W. Miragai landed and never left
Rd 3: Kayo - L. Sideboarded wrong. He played better. GG.
Rd 4: Oscilio - W. Sometimes Enigma has really really dumb turns.
Finished 2nd at 3-1. Happy out.

Opening of Alan Wake 2: Spend a frankly unreasonable amount of time trying to race the camera to see if the bloated nude guy you play as has a fully rendered dong.

Day late but #fabtcg #armoryrecap
Deck: Enigma
Rd1 - Bye (the sweetest plum)
Rd2 - Kayo. W. Played poorly. Didn’t matter. Miragai lol.
Rd3- DIO. W. He got some bad draws. I did Enigma stuff. Switched to fatigue and waited it out
Rd4- Ira. W. Monstered it.

4-0. Deck is cracked.

Sony really nailed the nostalgia hit with the 30th anniversary PS5 update.
Very simple in the best possible way. Each little noise was packed with a memory.

It’s skirmish week! After 3 weeks of rotating blitz heroes to find one I’m happy with, looks like I’ll be spinning the wheel once more for this week!
Aurora’s prob good for me. Just make all the 3 ofs, 2 ofs and off you go.
Have a few options. Let’s see how I feel come midnight Saturday 😂 #fabtcg

Been doing a re-sort of all my #fabtcg cards. I am missing exactly one Runeblade card. Amethyst Tiara, please don’t spike in value over the next month….

Also, one more month to Prague bay-bay!!!!
