Here are my Fire Pro boxing packs based on fight cards from the past, present, and future.

This'll be so I can keep up with everything and make it easier to access my stuff.

Her story is just so much fun. I'm excited to see her at WrestleCade this year. She's probably one of the ones I'm looking forward to seeing the most.

That actually might be a blessing in disguise because unlimited confidence can backfire more badly than most of Microsoft's decisions this year.

After much chopping and changing, I have FINALLY come up with my list for WrestleCade.

18 people (counting each person in The IInspiration and DemonxBunny separately) deep and it's all women's division talent because women's wrestling is why I'm still here.

This is for @fearlessriot.bsky.social.

My list of people for WrestleCade, which includes the following:
Isla Dawn, Nixon Newell, Elayna Black, Indi Hartwell, Penelope Ford, Shotzi Blackheart, Harley Cameron, Allison Danger, Thekla, Kris Statlander, DemonxBunny, Veda Scott, Stori Denali, Jamie Hayter, The IInspiration, and SoCalVal

Pauper is definitely the one official constructed format I feel like is in safe hands with the panel. I was a little bummed that High Tide got the axe, but I wasn't surprised by it. That deck wins a little too much for how long it takes to win to be worth keeping around.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 1h

I'm thankful that my current main Magic format obsession is a format where the only stuff that gets banned is too expensive to fit into a $30 deck.

God bless Value Vintage.

Hegseth continues to prove that he is more of a DEI hire than any of the people he is claiming is one.

When we get out the other side of this, I want his trial aired on TV first. Make him stand up there first and squirm in his seat.

If we're talking tabletop gaming too, I can confirm that I do not use any AI for any of my projects, including Race Day and NBA Showdown Jrod Edition.

Just Photopea, spreadsheet formulas, and a whole lot of unfiltered mental illness (complimentary).

Xalavier Nelson Jr. @writnelson.bsky.social · 6h

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Exactly. I've always thought that streaming fits perfectly for sports. It's useless for everything else, but for sports and wrestling? Absolutely perfect.

I can confirm that Fubo was great for the time I had it. If I wasn't the only one using it, I'd still have it.

Must be. If it's not that, I don't know what it is. To think, people that do that also tell us we're spending money poorly on Magic cards.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 5h

Indeed. I also miscounted my list. It's actually 16 people because both DemonXBunny and IInspiration count as 2 each.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 5h

Indeed. I'd love to actually be in the building, but it just happens to be timed just after I got back from Greensboro for hockey and I can't exactly drop everything and go back, especially when my WrestleCade list has FIFTEEN PEOPLE ON IT.

You know, this would be a good first show back when it comes to watching AEW as it happens instead of through clips.

For those who do meet and greets, anyone know what the IInspiration are likely to charge for WrestleCade? Trying to refine my list for the show a bit so I can know who I'm gonna see.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

Fun fact: They don't have those near me, so I haven't tried that yet. I need to, though.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

I never want to pack, so I'm right there with you. I've put off my packing for recent trips off until night before when I just shove everything I can into my suitcase and leave it at that.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

This does give me an idea for a proper global All Star game, though. I can do that in Showdown easily.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

Adam Silver managed to somehow make the NBA All Star game MORE convoluted and less excited.

I take back every good thing I said about him. He is only an upgrade on one commissioner and that commissioner is headed towards a lockout that probably costs him his position (I hope it does, anyway).

Mike Vorkunov @mikevorkunov.bsky.social · 7h

Looks like NBA just revealed the All-Star Game format this season. Two teams of American players and one World team. Same selection process for the All-Stars but they will not be picked based on position. So positionless All-Stars selections.

From the guy that tells you whether or not an AMD GPU is worth buying, we have the most hard hitting investigative journalism you'll see in tech in North America.

Someone on a subreddit for a Canadian YouTuber tried to say this man had a "hero complex". Imagine thinking that's a bad thing.

The next round of special reports delve into US export controls, what we think is corruption between governments and tech companies, reckless data center expansion, and more. Here's the plan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG4e...

Exactly. I need to buy a more recent OOTP at some point so I can redo my expansion universe where I add so many teams to MLB that it makes the game chug.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

That's good, at least. Gives you the ability to beat up on the Dodgers some more.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

Boston has been an enigma. I still want them to get rid of Sweeney, but these Leafs wins are gonna extend his GM tenure by another 5 years.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

I understand. I'm thankful my team is still watchable because even though we have problems, those problems are nothing compared to other teams. I am so so sorry your team is like this.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 7h

For all the grief I give the Canes for their inconsistencies, I'm super duper thankful they aren't the Maple Leafs.

That team gets rid of Marner and somehow becomes LESS TOUGH to play against.

I think Brad is hoping he can get a refund on Carlo to save his job.

Considering she's likely to get left off of WarGames, it's inevitable that Hunter is gonna fumble a 2nd 4HW member to AEW and not even learn the right lessons from it.
