These changes have nearly no effect on the game. People gotta chill tf out.

Haven't read Kotaku in a while but this was a good read. I should prolly keep an eye on them more now πŸ‘€

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

Y'all ready for the worst secret lair experience of all time?

Secret Lair@mtgsecretlair.com

From her first performance on a screen to sold-out arenas around the world, #HatsuneMiku always commands the spotlight. Now she’s ready to become the star of your Command zone. The Secret Lair Commander Deck: Hatsune Miku arrives on August 10.

Imagine beans smelling like hot Rocket Pops. The smell is *exclusively* Rocket Pop. But the appearance is only bean. The tonal dissonance may be the closest I've ever come to experiencing cosmic horror.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell this morning. We spoke for around 20 minutes. He said "You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire?"

I'm no expert, but between local 58, candle cove, broodhollow, etc., it sure seems like kris straub was a key tributary to the cultural river that produced the current moments being had by analog horror, creepypasta horror, and lovecraftian comedy. Maybe try hiring/funding him directly?

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

Hokum was great but I have more questions coming away from it than I did with Damian McCarthy's first two movies. Still, highly recommend all of his movies now

1. It deeply sucks that Dan Frazier, one of the titans of Magic Art, owned up to copying Marta Nael. 2. Given their notorious treatment of artists (short timelines), what is WotC doing to nudge a giant like Dan towards straight plagiarism? 3. This would be 1000% worse if this was a woman artist.

I've been following this game for a bit (hoping to see them at PAX Unplugged this December, I haven't gotten to play it yet), so this promotion in their discord is pretty sweet. The gameplay looks fun and they treat their artists well!
