This is the set I’ve been waiting all my life for! Over the moon excited I was able to order everything I wanted! Some players say Universes Beyond is bad but they just haven’t got their dream crossover yet.

Turtles are going to be my whole Magic personality!

I played my first competitive flag football game in years over the weekend and I kid you not this is what it felt like for our team of free agents vs the one team in the league with matching custom jerseys.

I use three binders currently, each with combinations of different colors/non basic lands/legendary etc.

I separate to each category into a stack, then alphabetize each stack, then place into binders while leaving wiggle room for future cards. After that I’ll add them to ManaBox for tracking.

Played in my first draft last night for FNM and did surprisingly well with these leading me to a 2-1 record.

Ended with a 3-way tie for second place before tiebreakers came into play which sadly moved me to 4th overall.

Fingers crossed hoping my Sealed tourney today goes as good or even better!

I know it’s been out for like a year on other console but damn TMNT: Splintered Fate is so much fun and was worth the wait to play it on PS5 with my partner.

We are obsessed with it! #TMNT

It has everything I want in an RPG: Challenging battles that can be overcome with skill, mechanics and systems that can be min/maxed to the extreme, amazing storytelling, fantastic music, and gorgeous art. Plus it lets me dress my party up in cool or silly suits.

So if you like any of that try it!

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with the platinum trophy and every optional secret I could find.

This one is special and will be talked about for years to come. It requires quick reflexes but I urge those that struggle with that to persevere as the journey’s narrative matches your struggle.

Feeling pretty accomplished today managed to learn some basics for blender to model an original idea and 3D print a prototype of it for an upcoming project.

I can’t show the other side where the cool stuff is because it’s part of a surprise but hey here’s a D20 for scale.

I’ve put close to a 100 hours into Monster Hunter Wilds, killed every monster, crafted most armor sets and weapons and this is still my favorite moment.
