we all know that Jetpack Jimmy went to the Moisture Fair, but I never told y'all if he came back

maybe I never will
4/5, not as iconic as Shivan Dragon but definitely a powerhouse

trying out a Volrath commander deck in Forge because he's my favorite Magic villain (my first set was Stronghold lol). I like his ability but the deck is awfully slow. I think I overdid it on dual lands that enter tapped. #MagicTheGathering

Teferi's Staff is the best Forge-original bonus item I've come across so far

in addition to its printed abilities, it also gives you +1 life plus an extra card every time you defeat an enemy

I do believe that if HPL hadn't died of cancer in his early 40s he would have eventually grown into a non-racist liberalism (or at most passively racist, like most white Democrats :P).

Unfortunately he didn't, and his legacy is forever tainted by his own small-mindedness.

I just realized that the place where Black and Lovecraft encounter "Charles Dexter Ward" is directly in front of the Shunned House from HPL's story of the same name, and someone is watching them from the window

Think I'm closing this down for now! I got a lot more ideas to do but i think caught up to everyone who wanted to play! I guess consider this a last call?

Going to post up the crop of the blorbo ocs for this with alt text next.

Will likely open this again

Again if anyone else wants a draw, last chance b4 i close for a bit

Originally i was going to do as a joke wt filling it with intentionally bad characters and draws, but i had lot of fun ideas for characters and it became an excuse to draw them

Magic the Gathering exists in a liminal zone of a cultural shift, with the decline and demise of many older establishments like D&D and superhero comics forcing a violent rebirth process in the early 00s.

The MTG comics are a hell of a rabbit hole to go into, all tied up with the explosive self-destruction of the mainstream comics market in the late 90s and the rise of the collectible card market...

Unrelated to any of the three topics I've been thinking about Magic the Gathering a lot and how it shaped 90's nerd culture the same way World of Warcraft shaped 00's nerd culture. Or in similar ways, at least. The cultural pervasiveness. I need to do something with MTG eventually.

I think a great federal employment opportunity after Trump is finally gone is paying people to demolish everything he’s built. Huge New Deal level boost, while people get to enthusiastically take a sledgehammer to his crap.

It's been hard coming to the realization that however much I want to create something, I don't have the talent to do so, nor do I have the time, energy, or discipline to gain said talent, nor the money to pay anyone to create things for me.

Okay now that it is seemingly confirmed via datamine stuff and not just folks posting on Twitter:

If/when Harry Potter stuff comes to Fortnite if you are still playing that game I Will Be Judging You. Fortnite is fun. I've enjoyed playing it over the years.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?
