On this day in 2002, 23 years ago, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire were first released.

These games started the third generation and introduced 135 new Pokémon. It told the story of you stopping Team Aqua or Team Magma

On this day in 1999, 26 years ago, Pokémon Gold & Silver were first released.

These games started the second generation and had you travel through Johto to defeat Gyms and defeat Team Rocket before heading back to Kanto!

What's the difference between Dimir Tempo and Midrange?

😏

Hot take: Games need to stop cleaning up the plot. Leave loose ends, unanswered questions, and plot holes. Let people theorize or discuss about it. Not everything needs to be finished with a nice little bow on top. It adds more mystery and intrigue this way.

Finally, we have the last 2! The Chamomille Lychee Punch and the Earl Grey Glow!
We were both a bit espresso'd out by this point but the last 2 drinks were perfect! The Punch had no espresso and was refreshing! The Earl Grey was a take on the London Fog but the fog was thick, creamy, and delicious!

Fourth was a contender for the best drink of the day, the Sprinkle White! Taking on the appearance of untouched snow on a cold day, they layer an espresso shot over top and the sugar hibiscus rim was deliciously sour, giving thr whole thing a dynamic flavor of sour and creamy!

Third was the Ember Pine! Great presentation and the elderberry flavors worked super well with the smoked cinnamon stick they used to stir it! Torched it right st the table!

Second round my S.O. got the Pine Cone and I got the OH-A! The Pine Cone was so chocolate-y and delicious! Very creamy! The OH-A was a fantastic 3 layered sorbet with peach puree on the bottom, lemon sorbet, and a shot of espresso on top! Tasted divine and nothing overpowered anything else!

First round we got the Bubble Espresso! Usually with Yuzu and coffee, it just comes out bitter and sour, I've never had a good one UNTIL NOW! It was fiiiire! The espresso played a forefront role in flavor but blended perfectly with the yuzu flavor. Idk what magic they pulled but it was fantastic!

Went for the Omakase experience at Gute Leute and it was fantastic!!!
Got a choice between last year's Omakase and this new year's one! We ended up doing the Best of 2024 which had 2 different options for 2 so we each got different drinks and tried 7 different drinks! Highly recommend!

Hosted a spooky Murder Mystery Party! Food and guests were fantastic! No one figured out who the murderer was 😈

UB Mid - Standard A deck created using Moxfield.

4-3 against Vivi which was 30% of the field. Going 3-0 early put me in the most toxic bracket possible lol. Could have tuned the deck to beat Vivi better if I was more practiced in the meta but underestimated how boring everyone is. Thought there would be more tier 2 lol

Good morning Magic players!

Size cont.

I had to sift through them to get rid of any marked/mis-sized ones.
Would have liked more height inside the sleeves so hard inners fit better but its better than Phoenixs
Shuffle feel - Great! Haven't gotten to the point where they are worn for testing but initial feel is awesome.

APEX Sleeve review for MTG -
Cost - $20 - A bit too high but almost worth it based on the quality
Size - Fitst batch fit well (Forest), second batch (Island) had a blue dot on the back of a couple cards which marked them, and the height/width of a number of them were different.

Cont.

Kaya Cactuar Combo!

Ruzic is a nice addition to this combo, being both a discard outlet and token maker. With Cactuar in the yard, Kaya can turn any of your tokens into a flying Cactuar and attack for 10,000 damage!

Whole Eternal Weekend was fantastic! Haven't played as fun or as good Magic as I have this weekend before! Unfortunately only went 3-3-1 for the Legacy main event but definitely played fantastic! Excited to get home and grind again!!!

Played side events for EW this year! Modern Early Bird went 2-0-1 on Energy, for the Legacy Trial went 3-1, then in the Legacy Double Up went 2-0-1 again on Nadu. Turned $100 of entry into $185 worth of tics! Feeling gooooooood!

Hi all, I spent some time looking at decks for legacy for EW 2025! check out the vod (in the reply link) cc @fireshoes.bsky.social

For people who play Magic on paper and Arena, someone figured out how to display the Spider-Man names on the Arena cards.

Watched Demon Slayer Infinity Castle in 4DX! Was great except the 4DX was a full second off, so we'd get a fight scene and you would get the first punch movement until after it happened, and the fight would stop but you'd still be getting whipped around. Other than that, totally worth it.

Got a sick banner from Etsy! Now all my extra pins can be slapped on this bad boy instead of trying to find space on my bag 😆

How many GRVs do you have? Asking for a friend.

Panel 1: Shen is wearing a labcoat and glasses, and talking to a man in a short-haired black man in a suit next to him. Shen is looking over smugly at him, whereas the man is looking up at something big in the distance with his mouth agape. They're on a rooftop. Shen says "you see, we summoned both Satan AND Cthulhu." Panel 2: We flip the perspective to see that Shen and the man are looking at a city skyline, with Satan and Cthulhu towering over the buildings in the middle of it, looking at each other intently. Shen says "this way, they'll take each OTHER out." Panel 3: Satan and Cthulhu dap each other up, light emanating from their hands clasped in the center, just due to the sheer power and significance of this particular dap. Panel 4: Shen is sweating a lot, his eyes now filled with anxiety and horror. He says "ah, shit."
