The "I'm something of a scientist myself" meme from Spider-Man (2002), altered to say "Language teachers over 6 feet tall:" "You know, I'm something of a Large Language Model, myself."

I taught English for six years and this didn't occur to me until now.

Every day we stray closer and closer to Pog.

Threw together an LCARS frame for my still-WIP Enterprise-D custom card. Guess we'll see next year if WotC does it better.

Been enjoying my Sony nw-a306, fully stripped of anything “online” for music.

Personally I’d like to just stop having a phone number.

It’s ok to put the phone down.

Just in case someone needs to hear it: You can be the biggest, loudest advocate for gun control. You can and should condemn HOW he died.

Do NOT let anyone make you mourn the passing of a man who said "Your body, MY choice" with his whole fucking chest.

A fake Magic card titled "Thoughts and Prayers", an Enchantment that costs 1 black mana and reads "Tap: Each opponent creates zero treasure tokens and gains zero life. Activate only if a creature died under an opponent's control this turn." It includes the quote "Really, it's the least I can do." Collector's info notes it is "VERY FAKE" with a set code "GTK", a nod to its creator. It has a photograph taken from a license free stock photos site of an empty, shadowy classroom, attributed to someone named "Sasha P."

Reposting this custom #MagicTheGathering card I made for no particular reason at all.

I've seen a few other attempts at this, almost always in W or WU, sometimes as two-sided cards playing on the "X and Y" format they never use anymore. I think this one really captures the spirit better than most.

Finally, a good use for Mox Diamond.

The ideas practically write themselves. But let’s do a multiverse within a multiverse set with 40 different versions of Spider-Man instead.

Among other missed opportunities for this set, there should have been 3 hero and 3 villain decks. They could have had another print run for Archenemy cards, plus a “Reverse Archenemy” format for a pod of one Spider-Man deck vs. 3 Villain decks.

Paramount finally branching out. Bet we can guess what’s coming next…

I made the mistake of telling someone when Final Fantasy was done “the only way Wizards will get me again is TNG.”

More testing for the new window method in the 80+ Dandan box. Tried embedding the fake tape bits into the main body, but that was awful. New method is two front layers to hold those in. Not fully glued for this test, but much, much happier with this.

3d printed VHS face with acrylic windows.

This week I thought to myself “You idiot, you have a laser, just cut the windows from acrylic.”

Stopped playing Silksong and DDR long enough to do a test print/cut. Not 100% happy with it, but it’s definitely the way forward for the 80+ Dandân card box design.

I’ve been having a good time with a limited draft cube for Final Fantasy. Made the packs a bit more common-heavy + every pack has an FCA card in it. Makes for some crazy explosions. I’m liking cube more and more, but you’ve gotta pick what you really care about, just due to the space they take up.

I can't understand getting angry about Spider-Man. When I saw a Spider-Man set was coming my first instinct was "Huh, weird. Guess I'll build an EDH deck or two for my kids." That's the limit of my emotional response to it. That might be a me problem.

No issues with the art. This time around (at least what I’ve seen) things generally match up with the card titles. The FF reskins were all over the place. Almost as randomized at the first set of the Score DBZ card game from 2000.

The font feels like watching a movie with subtitles.

So at least another 18 months of sets with this awful “minimalist” thing before they can course correct?

I thought the FF ones were a joke based on the equally painful-to-look-at FFTCG full arts. I didn’t think they’d start using it everywhere.

Yeah it’s more a limitation of the materials. What I’m planning should make the windows look a lot better, but I’m working with “clear” PLA, so it’ll be a little janky regardless.

Looks like I might get better results spraying it with isopropyl alcohol after printing that bit. Will give it a go.

Found it: www.etsy.com/listing/1162...

Main issue is they won’t do “solid” fonts, but the double outline version works well enough.

Here’s a slightly cleaner shot of the extra bits. Rated “PG” for “fishy situations.” Most text taken from the Forgetful Fish article on MTGWiki.

Bought the 20-16-12-8-4-fish dice from someone on Etsy. Still need to work on dialing in my laser for etching those myself.

Taking another pass at the design of the front panel, then I’ll probably put the boxes on Etsy or something. The glue causes a lot more fog than I’d like. Going to see if I can limit that by hollowing out more of the front to have something that interlocks rather than precariously adheses.

VHS style card box for Dandan, including tokens and a box sleeve in the style of a horror movie.

@rhysticstudies.bsky.social You put me on this path.

The horror you’ll never forget… Dandân on “VHS”!

3D printed box, inkjet cover, laser cut slipcase. Still mucking with the design, but I’m reasonably happy with this version. Room for 80 single-sleeved cards + tokens.

I don’t watch the news on purpose, but my father had it on and I couldn’t let this story title slide. #Seattle #kiro7 #headline #news

A parody Magic: the Gathering card with a photo of a shadowy empty class room. The card title is “Thoughts and Prayers”. It costs one black mana. It is an enchantment that reads: “tap, each opponent gains 0 life and creates 0 treasure tokens. Activate only if a creature died under an opponent’s control this turn.” and has the flavor text “Really, it’s the least I can do.”

I don’t like that I made this, but I hate that it’s relevant.

A mockup of a Magic the Gathering card entitled The USS Enterprise D. It is styled as one of the new Spacecraft cards from the upcoming Edge of Eternities set. 7 mana, 1 less for each creature you control, and is all colors. After getting crewed, it is a 7/7 with flying, vigilance, and ward 2 that explores when it deals combat damage to a player, creates a clue token, and creates a treasure token for the attacker and defender.

Based on one card’s worth of information, I decided to make this. Having no other knowledge of EOE, I’ll probably build a deck around this anyway.

Huge Tracts of Land - Commander (Tifa Lockhart) Lifted almost entirely from this deck Modifications for budget/toning it down a bit from its cEDH target and closer to the optimized range I like to play in.

I'm only kind of sorry... moxfield.com/decks/8_ISX2...
