Final Fantasy Tactic is great but the many instances of "enemy teleports away after defeat" gets old really quickly.

I don't care about the power of this card, it is objectively funny to hide from the Wrath of God, Damnation, or the Day of Judgement by hanging on the ceiling.

The trans panic is maddening, because trans people are expected to defend ourselves with logic science and any sign of emotion is a failure.

And yet the anti-trans campaign is nothing but appeals to emotion unburdened by facts, precedent, or empathy.

Being transphobic is so corny like you have the chance to be cool with people that are working themselves out and you're like nah?

Finished all the Pokédexes in Home. All game dexes with Pokémon transferred to Home originating from those games.

ScarVi, SwSh and Arceus were finished a while back, but I finally made the push to complete BDSP and Let's Go.

Just drove by a McDonalds with the following text on its sign board:

LOOK MCCHICKEN STRIPS ARE BACK
COME IN AND GET SOME

And while I’m sure they mean it as “Look! McChicken strips are back!”, I’m choosing to read it as “Look, McChicken strips are back,” with an implied sigh at the start.

If you're doing four mass layoffs in 18 months, the problem is the execs in charge, not the workers making the games, hardware and online infrastructure.
Breaking: Microsoft is planning major job cuts at Xbox that will begin next week, sources tell Bloomberg News. Not yet clear how many people, but it's expected to be big. This will be the fourth mass layoff at Xbox in the last 18 months. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: What went wrong with Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Why was the writing so tonally inconsistent? Why did it feel so shallow? Why were there so few choices?

Really, after ten years of turbulence, it was a miracle that anything came out at all. This is the story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sure I went 1-1-1 at my #MTGxFINALFANTASY prerelease but I got to equip a Buster Sword to a Cactuar and attack so I'm beyond thrilled.

I know the bar is really, really low, but you have to appreciate the leader of the country remaining professional and not resorting to insults, whining, and assholery. Looking forward, working with opponents, etc. Reminds me that maybe not everything has gone to shit.

I like a boring government.
Premier Danielle Smith and I had a constructive meeting today discussing what matters most: building one united Canadian economy — including getting big things built and major infrastructure projects off the ground, in Alberta and across Canada.

Started to rewatch the Mission Impossible movies before the new one this week. Some of these I haven't seen in a long, long time.

IM, for 1996, still holds up. It's a bit cheesy, but is solid.

IM2 is aggressively "the year 2000" (derogatory).

@imdanielholt.bsky.social can you please help me to identify who the art for this is based on?

I'm working on a project to tie the FF MtG cards art & mechanics to game lore and this is the first card of all revealed that has me stumped.

The flavour of the set is incredible!

I love this
Revealed today, it’s Hildibrand Manderville!

As soon as I discovered this character in my playthrough of Final Fantasy XIV, I knew I had to save and design a card for him.

Whether in your command zone or in the 99, he will keep rising with his zombie friends. #WOTCStaff #MTGxFINALFANTASY

I've been rewatching, or in some cases watching for the first time, all of the Spider-Man movies. Over the course of a few weeks, I'm not binging. And over all, it's been a blast.

Watched Amazing #1 tonight for first time and it was so much better then I expected it to be.

So I'm still not sold on Tarkir, and will likely keep my gems and draft tokens for Final Fantasy in June, but I did get a nice 7-0 with Abzan this morning.

Opponents were:
