Secondhand Took

The 10 minutes you get to check out after a Secret Lair queue should reserve whatever is in your cart for the duration of that window. The fact that it doesn’t is a colossal failure as a point-of-sale system. And a further slap in the face to your consumers that waited that long.

You see that place? It used to be the LGS my friends and I played at when we were younger. Back then we didn't have any real responsibilities or cares in the world. We just loved playing Magic and hanging out together. Some nights wed play until the early morning. I have so many great memories from that time in my life. We didn't know how good we had it, and now it's gone. At least we can make some new memories now... cardboara-crack.com

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Red Hot Seizoned Fish (Red Herring) Magic: Red Hot Seizoned Fish (Red Herring) Designed by Nick Floyd (inspired by Miguel Grados’ Hot Sushi This Magic: the Gathering variant is designed for two players who both play out of the...

I teased this and here it is. Very “red” fish. Instead of top deck manipulation this one is based on aggressive attack and reversing the aggression with Split Second that can’t be responded to. It’s good, but creative players are coming up with a lot of great variants docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I was genuinely surprised by the interest and positive response.
Here are some of my favorite entries:

This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES

Arguably I've made more money from my Marvel knowledge than knowledge of my extended family tree!

Cool beans, let’s do that then.

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

Zelda Williams has asked people to stop sending her AI slop videos of her father Robin Williams:

"It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want"

"You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting [stuff] out of the lives of human beings .. [and] art and music"

As you may have heard Youtube is being AWFUL and Shuffle Up specifically is being HIT HARD by the their latest madness.

We didn't even swear in this one! 🤷‍♂️ But...I could still use your help.

I got hooked on Vantage last weekend. @stonemaiergames.com's labor of love nails the right balance for an open-world tabletop game, letting mechanics do (most of) the storytelling. I was immediately immersed in building a little world-within-a-world, which also happened to be my engine.

Thanks to everyone for celebrating #Tolkien #HobbitMonth with me! This was fun and I enjoyed your lovely comments each day.

If you enjoyed my paintings, perhaps you'd like to add my book to your honored Tolkien shelves. Happy Hobbit Month, my friends, and keep sharing the good lore!

every AI ad is like

“hey gemini, what would i have for lunch?”

Kintsugi by Technical Grimoire Games A simple role-playing game where failure only makes you stronger.

I’ve introduced more people to TTRPGs with @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social’s Kintsugi than with my own games: technicalgrimoire.itch.io/kintsugi

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident”

Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

$18k reached!!!
We're nearly there! How about we get this thing funded by the end of the weekend???

Came across this and jumping in to say I literally went through same thing and got the same tame tarot deck to play Koriko lol
