A pumpkin carved with a human shaped opening, and then the guy from The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito has been cut out with a text bubble saying “it was made for me!” And attacked to the pumpkin so it recreates the scene from the manga where the guy is climbing into the human shaped hole in a cliff side except now it’s a human shaped hole in a pumpkin.

Halloweeeeeeeeen

looking back on the cartoons and children’s media that mattered to me when I was young, I say this with absolutely zero irony: I think we need to start scaring the shit out of kids again

In August of 1993, I started playing Magic. In July of 1994, I started freelancing. And on October 30, 1995, exactly thirty years ago today, I started working at Wizards of the Coast. R&D made me a shirt to celebrate.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.

FOR THE RECORD: There have been rumors. Now I will clear it up and be as unambiguous as possible. The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians. Having gone through the idiotic satanic panic of the 80s and then listening to their moronic and unfounded pearl clutching arguments that MTG promoted "devil worship", I had had enough and decided to hold a mirror up to them. That is why White is represented as dangerous, dogmatic and unempathetic in the set. White in The Dark glorifies ignorance, mob mentality and violence against those who are different. The truth is that people who view themselves as virtuous and righteous can be as deadly and dangerous as any blood sacrificing devil cult when they forget the message of love that is supposed to be the foundation of their belief system. We can see that replaying today with MAGA. I also wanted to paint spooky stuff. Two birds, one stone. Now you know. If you go back and look at the white cards in The Dark it will become crystal clear what the meaning of the set is. The Dark was a reference to the dark ages, when the church had full control of the population, when wise women and folk healers were burned as witches, education was only for the very elite and anyone who spoke up or strayed from the herd was killed in horrific ways. Even today people are trying to bring those dark days back. I was shining a light on them with this set. That is one of the important roles art plays in society and I view games as an artform. Happy Halloween!

Magic: the fucking Gathering

i don't think a promising young woman's life should be ruined just because some guy dressed up in flammable clothes, chose to be there, asked for it and then regretted after

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Not a bad EW Signature haul

#EternalWeekend decklist photo time! 20th place Vintage, 40th Place Legacy; gonna try and have more Japanese foils next year 😂

@fireshoes.bsky.social let's get some more Eternal Magic shared around 😁😁😍

random side note: seeing my tattoos in pictures (and on stream) is a strangely euphoric feeling; it just feels... right

Props to @cardtitan.bsky.social for another amazing and successful #EternalWeekend. Always fun win or lose, and this year I won quite a bit 😂

Getting to meet (and get bodied by) @maxtortion.bsky.social was lit; I got so much fancy cardboard; already looking forward to running it back next year!

Ended up 40th in the Legacy Champs; tiebreakers not quite good enough to get the Tendrils. Can't complain much tho 😂

2-0 (technically 2-1) Worldgorger Reanimator ft. Witherbloom pivot

2-0 Nadu Zenith
This report was abbreviated, SO MUCH happened and the match was a disaster for my opponent; opponent literally said verbatim they wanted to shoot themselves after the match (in frustration, he punted hard G1 and was tilting G2 pretty bad)

2-1 Nadu Zenith

2-0 Riddler Blink Beans

This dude never stood a chance, he did some cool stuff, drew a bunch of cards off Phelia value, and then just died to Ugin both games 😂

1-2 Dimir Reanimator

Dimir Tempo 2-1

#EternalWeekend Day 3 Legacy Champs Thread

Gonna share the screenshots from the Post Discord; way too much to type out and my brain is fried from 25 rounds of Magic over the weekend 😂 should have just done that in the first place; lesson for next year.

Cont...

And a ring, gets a card but passes. I play second Karn, get +play Cage, he has Dismember for my Trainer so can't block. He does stuff into my Karn, we both get a GRV, he kills mine and then kills me w/ 2nd Karn
