Saw a license plate today that read "ANKSHUS," and i'm like "same, brother. I hope today was manageable for you"

It is VERY funny that people will say "commander is built on restrictions, and restrictions breed creativity, but the game designers would do better with fewer restrictions" in the same breath.

HOTTIE POD IS BACK AT HIGH OCTANE

Lol i literally just recommended that to them if they hadn't seen it. I liked Talk to Me a lot more because it did not come off as mean-spirited as Bring Her Back, where "Connor" and the brother had to suffer for no reason

"She needed Connor for the ritual!"
They could've written it differently

If you and @moderatelymtg.bsky.social enjoyed Bring Her Back, you should definitely watch Talk to Me if you haven't seen it. It thoroughly surprised me--from the lil clip that previews when you're scrolling through stuff, i thought it'd be some low budget slop, but it was actually very good!

It was an interesting idea for sure, and I agree on the pacing. I feel SO BAD for Connor and Ollie 😭 they did nothing to deserve the punishment they got

Ooh what movie?

Man, there's something about these late afternoon (4:00-6:45) and evening (7:00-9:45) class slots that when i get out of class, i CRAVE trash food

Yeah, i feel that for sure, and i am too

Hi, it's me. I'm alive, and I hope you're having a good day.

Appreciate you as always Doni ❤️

I'm chuckling about this shit days later 😂

Any #edh players have any food decks and/or want to help raise money for food banks this harvest season?

Tonight the Food Bank Fundraiser continues with this fire pod! Come do some good and enjoy the vibes. Let's see if we can outperform last night's total!

9p est!

OOOOH SICK! That looks awesome

Oh, or just snarky/disingenuous takes and replies or making low-hanging lewd jokes and replies

God damn, i cannot handle the constant snark

It feels so weird that so many people are snarky to complete strangers.

I also feel like i don't see a whole lot of opinions or evaluations of things in the hobby any more--mostly i just see people promoting their content, asking for money, or posting about a current event.

And i'm happy that i've spent more time focusing on in-person social life and developing that again, but i'm also grieving my online social life. It's a complicated mix of feelings

Yeah, it really does feel like talking into the Void.

It's tough because we've all got stuff going on, and we only have so many spoons, and i'm admittedly the kind of person who withdraws at the drop of the hat too

It's nice knowing that i'm not alone in this feeling though

Hey @bsky.app you REALLY need to get on two things:

1. Group chats. If you want more communities to be here, they need chats to connect.

2. Sending images in messages. Content creators love to collaborate, and need to upload or paste images into messages. You force them to use alternate sites

How dare you. It's obviously my fault 😂 i know that with school that i've pulled back because i have to spend my time elsewhere, but since the major WotC dnd drama, the ttrpg community feels especially splintered, and i just don't connect with MtG any more either :/

I appreciate you ❤️ it's nice not feeling alone

Yeah, i had a decent following on Twitter and was super active. Hell, Twitter is why I have my current partner 😂 i made so many friends and got to participate in so many projects because of Twitter. But i agree totally--it feels like everyone split into different silos, especially in the ttrpg space

I learned that it was based on a short they made, so it's really just the short expanded into a movie. Learning that makes the movie make so much more sense lol

The Horrors(TM) persist for sure.

And yeah, Bluesky is definitely different from Twitter, but I anticipated that Discord would be the place to collaborate and connect with friends, peers, and colleagues, but that's failed too

Yeah! It really feels like people have separated into silos, and I feel I'm even met with suspicion when reaching out to collaborate on something

Omg i'm dying 😂

But I am feeling like "does everyone hate me? Did i say/do something to ostracize myself from everyone?"

I know it's an old, bad trauma habit to jump to "things are different now, so it must be my fault." But i really can't see another explanation.

Really, I'm genuinely asking, what's up?

3/3

Now, I feel totally divorced from those communities. Whenever I post something on discord or bluesky, I don't get any interaction other than a handful of likes or emojis, even when i'm asking questions or directly asking for feedback.

I'm not demanding people pay attention or interact with me
2/3

I'd love to know if anyone else feels this way:

I'm in a weird spot. Up until a year after I moved to Vegas, I had a pretty booming online social life. I always felt like I could be fully myself within the online communities I engaged with, and I felt very welcomed and even sought after
