Made a sizable deck list change sight unseen 2 hrs before deadline bc my vibes on this event are sooo bad. Have a splitting headache and I think i hate LA. I am stoked though bc i got to play against a lot of good players casually today

Deck changes were solid. Punted my round 9 match into the sun, which was a huge bummer, and didnt make day 2 at 5-4. Im now 1-X lifetime vs a resolved Sire of Seven Deaths. Fuck you put it back in your hand

Ive been rewatching old Naruto and genuinely? I think this comic had some serious gas on its fire through the first 3-4 arcs, its too had what happened to it later

Wife has been gone for 2 weeks on a vacation and im considering gwtting a sleeve tattoo bc i thought a guy with one looked hot. Need to practice control

Won my 1st rcq of the season with basic forests! My friends made up half of top 8 :) R1 LWW simic boroid R2 L kona (I forgot to register my sideboard and got a game loss] R3 WW dimir R4 LWW spellies R5 WLW boros dragons Qf WW mirror Sf WW mirror F LWW UW momo

Slick direction and animation can't really help the fact that 80% of the cast feels as wooden as popsicle sticks though

Nippon sangoku has been fun, its like monogatari for guys who read sun tzu

I find the endless "oh this is gonna be great in my x cmdr deck" reactions irritating but I also recognize that that reaction is the foundation of what makes tcgs good and is truer to the experience than anyone rating a card for competitive viability

Had a good time at the Cincinnati cube event last weekend. Drafted cave eldrazi in the Carlsbad desert cube (2-1, lost to the 3-0 drafter) and drafted Eldrazi in The Chrome Wars (1-2, got my lunch ate during draft, but totally loved this cube). Excited for another all-day event here in cbus saturday

I remember getting set up as Argentina in a megagame last year and being like oh I should look up argentina's history so I can role-play correctly. Then I decided it was not worth to role play correctly

Trigun stampede/stargaze is really good. Feels like they sanded off a lot of the stuff that didn't work or didn't age well from the source material, added a lot more texture to several characters, and is gorgeously directed (especially s1). Probably the best trigun thing period

Im a total mark for pixie. I cant wait to play this and go 1-2 at locals like every time ive tried pixie since the nightmare ban

Esper Pixie might be back?? On stream I had a BLAST playing Pixie with Loki! Card is SICK. Ended up having a winrate of 89% In Esper colors we have so many ways to utilize Loki & feels stronger than Dimir Jamming more tonight! ➡️ twitch.tv/Jaffer #MTG #MTGArena #Twitch @fireshoes.bsky.social

Facebook marketplace is wild I always drive up to a house more expensive than I could ever imagine affording and buy some shit off them for 1/4th sticker price

Interested in seeing how the PT impacts the modern metagame. Since a modern deck won't "win" the PT i imagine there might actually be lower impact than usual

After over a year of not being able to click into a single player campaign video game (bouncing hard off of bg3, p3r, e33, etc.) SMTV has me going "just 1 more hour" repeatedly. This game fucking rocks. I'm locked in.

New cyberpunk looks really fun, I should reslly sit down with my thoughts on the first edgerunners season and tease apart why it left such a bad taste in my mouth

Lucy is written from the ground up to be an appealing mascot and loses every edge and interesting wrinkle in the back half! David is boring! The goofball trigger animation is directly at odds with the tone of the show the entire time! I'll cede that they deploy the game's soundtrack extremely well
