My Top 3 Games this year:

1)Expedition 33 (In my top 5 games of all time, Best game since FFX)
2)Hades II (So replayable!)
3)Silksong (A frustrating but well made game)

I need to look at some of the other games this year and see what I missed. If you have suggestions, please let me know!

Played thru Expedition 33 a couple of times now. It's such a masterpiece of a game. If you haven't at least tried it, you are doing yourself a disservice.

I generally try not to be too negative about things. I really dislike these choices for Commander unbans.

After watching the New Deck Template episode of Command Zone, I wondered about the Average CMC of cards in my commander decks. The range of CMCs of my 29 decks (without lands) were from 3.15 to 5.09. My average deck has a CMC of 3.95. Looks high to me, but I win too much right now as is.

I've been playing Valheim with my 10 year old kid, and tonight we took out The Queen in the Mistlands. We did a great job communicating with each other and supporting each other throughout the fight. Next is the Ashlands where I haven't really been. Time for surprises!

Listening to the Soundtrack for FF7 Rebirth. It reminds me of how much I enjoyed the game. I hope that this game gets it's due for award season, but even if it doesn't, I'm thankful to all the people who put this game together for giving me such an amazing experience. #FF7Rebirth

Here is a pic of my 2 cats from 5 years ago. Sadly they don't seem to like each other much anymore and generally don't even sit close often.

My kid's new pets. Jack and Stuart.

Got to play commander with a few new faces tonight. Played 5 games with 3 people that I hadn't met before and had some great games. :-)

Also got bought a Dragon's Milk and given a Banner of Kinship. Gonna put that in Bello.

I had voted early, so I pretty much stopped thinking about the election. Now that it's tomorrow, the stress is getting to me. I'm going to play some Once Upon a Galaxy and try to get back to calm.

My Halloween tradition. While my wife takes the boy out to trick-or-treat, I watch this while handing out candy.

Always love playing my Mayael deck.
Last night I played it and it felt powerful, but not dominating the table. Best play was playing Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant with Greater Good in play. The game ended my next turn.

I've been sorting my build boxes and cataloging the cards there. Still have a couple other boxes to check and potentially sort in. Spent multiple days trying to get it all done.

The best part is I sorted a dozen or so cards directly into decks. I'll find out if they were good changes soon enough.

Getting used to my son's new pets. They are cute and curious.

So I have now played 3 games against this guy. I took control of it in two games and wrecked all of the table with it. Made the games super quick, though.

A bunch of things I like:

- Card Games (MtG in particular)
- Video Games (RPG, Survival, Simulation, etc,)
- TV Shows/Movies (LotR, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.)
- Anime (Which could have been lumped in above)
- Board Games

Got my copy of Arcane season 1 this week. I'm probably going to watch it this weekend. This show is so good. I wonder if it will look different than when I watched it on Netflix.
October 18, 2024 at 1:35 PM
Months after playing it, I still think FF7 Rebirth is the best game made in a long time and should be a lock for GotY. I can't stop thinking about the story, the acting, the music, and how much fun I had playing.

When I play commander, I find myself often discarding cards I don't want to play because it will completely shut down one player (drawing "The Immortal Sun" when someone is playing a Planeswalker deck.) I think commander ideally is played by people having the mindset of letting people play.

Starting to move off of x. Followed a few of the people I followed over there. Will fully set up my profile later.
