I taught English for six years and this didn't occur to me until now.
The "I'm something of a scientist myself" meme from Spider-Man (2002), altered to say "Language teachers over 6 feet tall:" "You know, I'm something of a Large Language Model, myself."

Threw together an LCARS frame for my still-WIP Enterprise-D custom card. Guess we'll see next year if WotC does it better.

Just in case someone needs to hear it: You can be the biggest, loudest advocate for gun control. You can and should condemn HOW he died.

Do NOT let anyone make you mourn the passing of a man who said "Your body, MY choice" with his whole fucking chest.

Reposting this custom #MagicTheGathering card I made for no particular reason at all.

I've seen a few other attempts at this, almost always in W or WU, sometimes as two-sided cards playing on the "X and Y" format they never use anymore. I think this one really captures the spirit better than most.
A fake Magic card titled "Thoughts and Prayers", an Enchantment that costs 1 black mana and reads "Tap: Each opponent creates zero treasure tokens and gains zero life. Activate only if a creature died under an opponent's control this turn." It includes the quote "Really, it's the least I can do." Collector's info notes it is "VERY FAKE" with a set code "GTK", a nod to its creator. It has a photograph taken from a license free stock photos site of an empty, shadowy classroom, attributed to someone named "Sasha P."

Paramount finally branching out. Bet we can guess what’s coming next…

I made the mistake of telling someone when Final Fantasy was done “the only way Wizards will get me again is TNG.”

More testing for the new window method in the 80+ Dandan box. Tried embedding the fake tape bits into the main body, but that was awful. New method is two front layers to hold those in. Not fully glued for this test, but much, much happier with this.

This week I thought to myself “You idiot, you have a laser, just cut the windows from acrylic.”

Stopped playing Silksong and DDR long enough to do a test print/cut. Not 100% happy with it, but it’s definitely the way forward for the 80+ Dandân card box design.

@rhysticstudies.bsky.social You put me on this path.

The horror you’ll never forget… Dandân on “VHS”!

3D printed box, inkjet cover, laser cut slipcase. Still mucking with the design, but I’m reasonably happy with this version. Room for 80 single-sleeved cards + tokens.

VHS style card box for Dandan, including tokens and a box sleeve in the style of a horror movie.

Based on one card’s worth of information, I decided to make this. Having no other knowledge of EOE, I’ll probably build a deck around this anyway.

A mockup of a Magic the Gathering card entitled The USS Enterprise D. It is styled as one of the new Spacecraft cards from the upcoming Edge of Eternities set. 7 mana, 1 less for each creature you control, and is all colors. After getting crewed, it is a 7/7 with flying, vigilance, and ward 2 that explores when it deals combat damage to a player, creates a clue token, and creates a treasure token for the attacker and defender.

Huge Tracts of Land - Commander (Tifa Lockhart)
Lifted almost entirely from this deck Modifications for budget/toning it down a bit from its cEDH target and closer to the optimized range I like to play in.

Panko and Shio had their birthday on 4/20. They got hats. They hated it.

Guess it's time for this again. #StarTrek #Resolutions #HappyNewYear #2025
The first image: January 1st: The bridge crew Star Trek's Enterprise D with various New Year's resolutions associated with each. Notably Data is marked as just wanting to play video games. The second image: January 2nd: The crew has collapsed to the floor. Only Data is still okay, suggesting that the self improvement resolutions are doomed.
