I got a copy of the Arkham Horror LCG for my birthday this year and it's such an incredible game. Interesting deckbuilding, great narrative structure, and very immersive gameplay. I'm very excited about becoming obsessed to an unhealthy degree over this game.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

If you're calling Magic content you don't like "slop", you're probably a big part of why competitive events aren't firing at your LGS.

Jesus Christ, Weapons is GOOD. Might be my fav movie of the year? At least in the top 3. I really don't want to spoil anything about this one, go in blind as possible, but there's a certain kind of ancient monster trope we don't see enough and it satisfied an itch I didn't know I needed scratched.

Wondering if this will be anything for Pauper. Seems tricky to pull off but a turn one 3/3 seems good?

It's been interesting watching people's reactions to the new Magic Spider-Man set. Not only because I disagree with a lot of those reactions, but because the reasons people are giving for preemptively disliking it are IMO equally applicable to the Final Fantasy set (which was much beloved)

Rewatching the Donner Superman film for the first time in a long time. Clark doesn't appear in costume until 70 minutes into the film, and he isn't named Superman for even longer than that. Lex doesn't show up in the first hour, either. Truly a different age of film making.

Very excited for the Spider-Man/Magic crossover set, but realizing I'm in the minority for that - not only are some MTG fans using it to complain about UB sets in general, the Marvel fans that would be excited are probably too busy playing Marvel Legendary, Champions, VS System, or Snap to care.

Thinking of pre-ordering the Switch 2 and some games but I wanted to check to make sure first - you can survive with only one kidney, right? Gotta pay for it somehow.

With a lot of romance, a little bit of horror, a heavy heaping of action, and a foot on the gas pedal from the second act onward, The Gorge is one to watch.
