if we're ever at the same event, sure. but that's not really a thing i do generally, sorry.

yes, that was me. i often show those off as proof that anyone can suck at art.

the idea that many kids today don't get that singular joy fills me with a deep sadness. and no small amount of rage.

every child deserves to love books. or at least be given the chance to love them.

yeah i somehow doubt this child is going to agree with "freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

what i especially love when cops borrow from the punisher. like, the guy's whole thing is "cops are useless, i'll be a vigilante and get my own justice."

and superman would disapprove of them all.

yeah i keep telling myself that i should start using my tumblr account again.

this feels like how blockchain games were all the rage a few years back. hopefully the genai bubble bursts soon and we can move on from this latest shitty technology.

in all earnestness: what value do you get by staying there? is there some kind of professional need as a content creator? personal stubbornness?no judgment, but i don't think you deserve that kind of toxic energy in your life.

the charitable read here is that this is just some capitalist trying to confuse people by conflating generative "ai" (the new shitty soulless stuff) with automated tools by calling it all "ai".

claiming all games use genai?

like the man said: "i strongly feel this is an insult to life itself."

i mean terra costs 2 to pay for her trigger. but yeah, it's not often 8.

"but it's 8 mana! it should go in zero of your decks, not two."

you listen to me, mister. that is quitter talk. run lots of lands and maybe some acceleration. you should *play* with your fun cards. do not give me excuses. life is short. in my house we do the fun thing in commander. not the optimal.

"actionable and insightful feedback" is the dream. it'll come, i'm sure. thanks. :)
November 11, 2025 at 4:22 PM
well, congrats on the milestone. i hope you have at least as much success in your post-wizards career as i've found in mine. :)

ogles is indeed one of the people who would know better than most.

if i think you're choosing to be a jerk i will still block you. i'm doing this in my spare time off the clock. please don't make me regret it.

there are a lot of people who worked really hard and deserve praise.

and if you don't want to pass on kind words, i hope you enjoy it all anyway.

once you start getting into edge cases it can get complex quickly. depending on your game. "just write" is not cheap, especially if your story branches.

now i could be wrong. lord knows i've been wrong as recently as today. but my experience is that it's v easy to underestimate the unprecedented.
