Does anyone else feel like there has been an unnaturally high amount of visible lower latitude auroras this year?

SF trip turned out really fun despite some setbacks. Phoenix was a good time for sure - always great to see family.

On vacation in San Francisco and the only think on MY list of things to do was see Muir Woods and despite multiple pivots I’m still not able to do it. Disappointing

Haven’t had as much time with #Pokemon Legends: Z-A as I would like so far, but I’m enjoying it.

Why hasn’t a company developed a weather-proof solution to the “review booth” setup for football? The trash bag that is nearly ALWAYS taped over the top feels like there must be a better option

New hobby - woodworking. Not entirely new, I’ve been doing woodworking since I was a kid with my dad but I recently made something for the house and I’m inspired to try to build something to sell. Will see how it goes but I’m hopeful :)

Nala is only slightly annoyed that I’m taking her photo.

I’ve got some time set aside for cards with a friend this week - probably some GLC #pokemontcg. Couldn’t come at a better time - I’ve been having a stressful rough time lately and could do with an unplug - even if only for a few hours.

Cheers! Didn’t make it out for Oktoberfest this year sadly despite trying for 2 weekends in a row. Hope you all got a chance for a beer.

#Lorcana friends - what meta decks should I be interested in? Not what is just winning, but what is going to be fun to play? Previous formats I’ve enjoyed ruby/am, emerald/am… basically tempo midrange stuff.

My recent dive back into Magic has forced me to buy a new storage box and start planning to sell extra bulk… #MtG #TCG

The new #StarTrek episode of #StrangeNewWorlds was excellent. They’re really crushing it this season. It’s the most “Trek-y” that Star Trek has felt since Enterprise.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted! Still at the grind for the new(ish) job and back from another work trip. Hit up another new card shop again though which was awesome. Other than that, still enjoying some TCG. Building a new #MtG Commander deck and ready to dive into #Lorcana Fabled.

Trip to Richmond went great. Work stuff went well enough and even though my free time there was limited due to some flight delays, I still made the most of it. Awesome hike one day and visited 4 different LGS for the #Pokemon collection and the new #MtG commander deck.

New #MtG set looks cool with the space theme. Upcoming #Lorcana set has me very excited with new rarities for cards. #PokemonTCG set is dope but it’s impossible to buy cards still which makes me sad. Overall, great time to be a #TCG fan

This week for #Lorcana Locals it's time to get back onto the more chilled out band wagon. My Set Champs deck is made so I don't need to worry about that for now.

This week it's time to try out 🟣🔴Winger Dingers. Saw the list and it made me very interested! Looking forward to giving it a try!

Card show this morning with my daughter. I picked up a single $1 ex for my Lucario master set but I did get the kid a few cute cards for her collection. Fun time! #TCG #pokemon #pokemontcg

Anyone from my feed hail from the Richmond, VA area? I’ll be heading there for work in a few weeks and I want to hit up a couple LGS while I’m there! I want to find the best stores and google sucks for that. Possibly to play some TCG but definitely to shop and socialize. #TCG #Lorcana #PokemonTCG

Playing cards again tomorrow. This will make 3 weeks in a row. Happy to have fallen in a good rhythm bc I think about cardboard gaming constantly. Very excited to get stomped again in MTG Commander and probably win some PTCG GLC #TCG #pokemontcg #lorcana #MTG

@scalzi.com where should I start with reading your work? I love sci-fi and am very interested in diving in.

Huge congrats to DKP on the first ever Lorcana World Championship win. Hearing some rumblings about reduced DLCs next year. Don’t know what Ravensburger is doing, but they have sellout 2000 player events. We need more competitive play opportunities, not less. Grow the game! #Lorcana
