I really like the green rust effect! I need to paint my TC minis, I've been kind of letting the plastic sit in boxes on my shelf.

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

If I was a betting man, my money is that with EA getting bought out, we are probably never getting Mass Effect 5.

Man every time I hear a wotc employee talk about typal vs kindred, I can hear this disdain or embaressment for kindred but its such a better word. This is in response to MaRo at the preview panel. I can feel his cringe and I hate it. More kindred spells please.

The Story of Ghazban Ogress - with Cathy Nicoloff
YouTube video by The Tranquil Domain The Story of Ghazban Ogress - with Cathy Nicoloff

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless.

Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

My gut reaction being that its bad that local stores are having to take action and 100% will continue to rot Organized Play.

Its weird how differently my gut reaction to this, compared to when local organizers banned pre-nerf More Dakka. GW is worse tho because they emergency nerfed Starshatter proving they could take quick (probably correct) action. Wizards is just so stuck on their schedule everyone suffers.

ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy likes the idea of a Kleya and Vel β€˜Nazi hunters’ spin-off series in which the duo hunt after former Imperials following the fall of the Empire with the assistance of Dedra Meero in a Hannibal Lector-esque role.

Idaho’s parental consent law impedes 988 suicide crisis hotline access for some youth β€’ Idaho Capital Sun A law requiring parental consent for most medical treatment provided to minors is affecting work at the Idaho 988 Crisis and Suicide Hotline.

Teens are calling Idaho's suicide hotline and being told that they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up.

Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year.

it’s really not fair to all of us that someone like hulk hogan can endorse a demonic entity and usher in the end of days and then just die to escape the world he helped mold

got into line literally seconds after the store went live and in the same boat, worried about getting anything. Actually infuriating.

Man bluesky really decided that all my complaining about shitty ai images means I really want to see your badly copied uninspired "art". Anyway I do love the moderation on this site, many muted words to the list.

Save The Wheel of Time - Finish the Story SaveWOT is a fan-run website dedicated to supporting the effort to get The Wheel of Time television series back on a streaming service for a fourth season and beyond.

I don't have many followers but I'd appreciate if you liked the wheel of time show, if you would do the petition thing at savewot.com

Honestly I've felt this way since the first rumblings of gamergate, but feel like fandoms ruin things for me. The constant show negativity ruined the several Wheel of Time communities I was in.

People like "Oh I hope the next adaptation will be more faithful" and I just keep thinking, why would any studio ever pay to adapt epic fantasy ever again. Time and again fans are fickle, picky, want a direct translation that is un-filmable. When it doesn't make expectations they throw a fit.

The Wheel of Time show getting canceled is sad because season 3 was on such an upswing for me. I doubt we will ever get another chance at adaptation in my lifetime, and I'd be surprised if any epic fantasy gets picked up either.

The pitch is never that AI will fold the laundry for us, it's always that AI will remove the good stuff from our lives. Picking a birthday present for my kid isn't a box I check, it's something I want to do, and six months later when that's the stuffy she sleeps with I get to feel good about that.
