In retrospect, this was way too conservative
The year is 2032. You sit down to play your first match ever on the Post Malone Pro Tour. You flip a Post Malone album. “Post” you call in the air. It comes up Post Malone. “I’ll Pre Malone” you say. You draw your opener. No Posts. “I’ll Maloneigan.”

Trying to imagine a world where a third party controls the B+R for the most popular format of the game I work on is giving me a panic attack

Spitting facts w/ this one. I always stay appreciating Mark and how much he’s taught me about the process of game design. And as much as his transparency over the years set me up to understand how damn hard the work is… it’s even harder than that. markrosewater.tumblr.com/pos…

Just wanted to pop in and remind everyone that if you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve your dreams. Related, here is my house raccoon:

There are hundreds of games that use Magic’s mana system “but fixed” (every big release in the last year) and they are all very boring and have the exact same problem. I find screw/flood impossible to go back to now, but I’m simultaneously convinced Magic-likes don’t work w/o it.

Anyway, my advice if you don’t like flood/screw is not to take it out of a game system that requires it to create dynamic situations—just go find a game that uses a different system. I happen to know a great one…

I have seen the raccoon, thank you. I’d be lying if I said my enthusiasm wasn’t dampened somewhat by also seeing Leonardo da Vinci and *everyone in a cowboy hat* on the same day, but I do appreciate the effort.

The funniest thing about this is that if you don’t believe that the game is able to inherently police deception, then you’re basically admitting that the very premise of the game as a competitive endeavor fails
We’re lying in cEDH tournaments now? Crazy. lying isn’t against the rules but we’re not talking about that. topdeck.gg/bracket/lM9C337VP… #cedh #edh

I like staying mostly out of other TCGs business at this point—going to make a rare exception because I think vulnerable and sad people might end up exploited. Please, for the love of god, do not give a fake LoR kickstarter any of your money.

Nothing better for folks who do broadcasts than when the public finds a single terrible frame of you in a show and just posts it everywhere. Yep, we sure do love that. Totally cool and awesome thing to have happen.

I am much less angry about this than maybe my tone implies. I just get very sick of seeing my stupid face everywhere on my timeline :P. Carry on as usual.

One thing I’m sure of after this week: if you’re a non-@fabtcg player and have a nagging doubt that maybe you’ve hitched your horse to the wrong wagon—you’re 100% correct. The upcoming Heavy Hitters release seems like a great time to rectify that mistake…

3+ yrs ago, fully in the pandemic and craving normalcy, I watched the worlds only sporting event occurring on an island briefly evading Covid—a game I knew nothing about in a country I knew even less of. Today I went and watched Cricket in Eden Park and filed my NZ residency visa

It’s cool as hell watching the things you warned everyone about for years come to fruition and remembering how the overwhelming response you got back in the day was “stop whining so much”

Starting the 30 hr travel day to Auckland so you know what that means—AMN! (Ask me nothing, I’m very tired)

In a cool twist though, I’m arriving in Auckland on a work visa this time, meaning I’m officially a full time employee of LSS! This changes absolutely nothing about my job, but is useful in terms of what I can do in NZ and how often I can be there.
