Indulge a sad cat-dad as I remember my buddy Oscar with a lengthy post... Oscar was a part of this family. His paw prints & belly fuzz are all over the house and our lives. His patience for the kids grew as their chubby baby hands started to rain kitty treats towards him.

The kids made me a bunch of cards for my Father’s Day video… here’s the ones that didn’t make it!

My 6 year old grabbed the new Marvel UB card: Stark Industries Executive and drew her version. Look at that IronMan armor!!! I could cry from being so proud 🥹

Delroy & Elordi were robbed #oscars

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My wife was reading to the girls tonight, & Sawmi my 6 yo started crying, then I read the epilogue & we just wept. This was such a beautiful & fun graphic novel, but that ending just had us missing our kitty, Oscar.

Even the idea of fake sci-fi fascists has worn itself thin over 13 years with these sleeves. Because the real world keeps echoing the same playbook—and I’m tired. New sleeves. Same deck. Same joy. Clearer head.

Goodbye for now buddy. Find a warm spot to nap, a neighborhood to roam, a little girl to nuzzle, a nice lady to sit next to, another cat to bug, & a papa to pet you. On this side of the life’s curtain, you always found a way back to us, but soon we’ll find our way back to you. 🐈❤️

We said goodbye to our sweet buddy Oscar. He was 14, loving, gentle, goofy and hungry boi. I wept because for the past 12 years, he was my little buddy who sat next to me as I worked, played video games & went through my cards. I miss him & hope I’ll see him again one day. #cats

My favorite scene in Muppet Christmas Carol sitting down all lonely near a big fire, his own house, robe and a giant plate of cheese and Bread. Peak burnt-out-Holidays-vibe

Fat fingers, sick kid at home, 15 mins lunch break… sure I’ll make a quick video! www.instagram.com/reel/DSYQEYh...

Is this the future the oligarchs want for us?

I don’t roll joints but I roll up to joints with rolls of rolled mats… I know my role… I know the rules… just roll with it… This post was not screened by my brain.

Can someone please check on Ubisoft? #goty #expedition33

Why all new games look like

Orbitals might be my killer app for Nintendo Switch 2

The Forest 3 was the craziest reveal ever!!! Wow!!

Didn’t get Vivi or Senior Chang aka Snapcaster Mage… but good lawd! These cards are gorgeous!!!

New recipe I’m trying! Chocobo & Waffles!🧇 But seriously I don’t think anyone in the FF multi-verse eats Chocobo… would you? #everythingismagic

Work from home has its upside during lunch break. LoTR Extended with Oscar, to set the holiday mood!

Beyond stoked!!! Chocobo Bundles! Like everyone I’ve just loved Final Fantasy set so much! Even playing FFX for the first time this Holiday season!

We get a new ornament every year since 2014…and it usually takes us a while at the store to decide. This year we took one glance at this and said “yup.”

My daughter: I’m sorry I broke your ornament… maybe I’ll buy you a Magic Card… Me: *laughs* baby how you gonna afford Secret Lair’s Godzilla Lands? This didn’t happen, but i did think it when she said that 🤣

When you’ve overslept and missed 2nd breakfast…

I hope there’s a Neon Ink Foil M4 Mac-Mini in this pack! Pulls in the thread! #everythingismagic

Something Something I'm gonna skip MTG x Marvel... oh wait... SHINY CARDS!!!!!

For the final WeeklyMTG of 2025, Blake is throwing a #MTGxMarvel party as a gift to himself. You can come too. Join Blake, and special guests @wachelreeks.com and Gabriel Luna at 10AM Pacific over at twitch.tv/Magic!

Weekend Morning Cartoon is different when your papa loves Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 #absolutecinema #expedition33

Stop me if you heard this one… A Mizo American walks into a Micro center… and 4 below MSRP scene boxes later…

Intros should look like: 1. "Hi my name is..." 2. "I love playing <InsertGame>" Optional 3 if its MTG: "I got back into it through <Insert UB>" 😜 Should we adopt introductions like this... but isn't what we do on our free time give a better picture of who we are? Or is that too revealing?

Feeling inspired by @strixhavendropout.bsky.social article: "The Top 4 Times Magic Learned To Be Inclusive" A peak into the inclusive decisions that WOTC had implemented... into THEIR PRODUCTs. The history and articles by @shivambhatt.bsky.social stirred me. Great read. 😭 tinyurl.com/49hvn3rj

What if in MTG, we had a tradition of challenging each other to a duel, and whoever wins gets the loser’s playmat… lol. Playmat the Gathering!

Collector Booster Box or Nintendo Switch2? What would you pick?

I think it's important that I have a pile of cards that they can play with it, draw on & be around. Just being exposed to Papa’s hobby & not seen as a nuisance is how I want my kids to feel around my office. #mtg #dadlife

Appreciate the Thought Vessel team and their chill conversations. Always learning something new as a new returning player (its a ME!) @thought-vessel.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHEE...

Congrats to @manapool.com just got their newsletters for discounted ATLA Sealed items!! Also got this little excerpt at the end! Wow! Talk about Rampant Growth!

After 11 years of marriage, the darkly comedic fights fueled by sparks of miscommunications & petty selfishness, submerged in an ocean of love, mixed in with raising two humans… makes The Roses the most relatable, fun & dark romantic comedy I’ve enjoyed in years. Cumberbatch x Colman *chef’s 😘

What Christmas is about… quivering feelings about getting wolf super-rabies or bat super-rabies
