Based on set numbers it looks bigger than Spider-Man but still much smaller than a normal set

I am so stoked to be going to #CubeCon this year. I am going to hang out in the booth with @bkowal23.bsky.social on Friday and dust off my commentary hat and talk about our ongoing #vintagevstype1 fundraiser.

Who is coming to CubeCon next week? I want to remind everybody that CubeCon always kicks off with a free Day Zero event at my store @mistymountaingames.com! There will be tons of open Cubing and great times! Please ponder attending! @cubecon.org

The change away from keys is insane to me. Was using a key too complicated? Fobs seem so much less secure too

Only one of these I haven’t seem is Perfect Blue. All 9 other movies are effectively perfect so I guess I have to watch it.

I think it is important to put out there that one of the leads of #mtg himself used a slur in this otherwise well meaning post.

I'm not here to argue about UB or the changing landscape of Magic. Just that we all need to back off that word when "reseller" exists.

It's the final day of #VintageVsType1. Proud to have helped raise over $1000 to fight Type 1 diabetes. I'll be streaming until 5 pm CST on twitch.tv/mistymountaingames. The streamers have been all doing great and we are less than $4000 from our goal.

Going to be deactivating my Bluesky later today, just as a heads up if you see me magically disappear.

Will have things back up for CubeCon. 👀

Emma Partlow 🔜 CubeCon 2025 🔜 Spotlight Series: Liverpool @emmapartlow.com · 28d

Getting this in early, a heads up that I'll be deactivating my Bluesky starting in October as I'll be in the US for some of that month. They'll resume once I'm home late-October. 🙏
