You cannot count on platforms for being anything beyond a place to fart around and get poisoned

I’ve been given a magic remote that lets me “click” my way through the drudgery of everyday life!

are people just not concerned about being overheard??

Dan Sheehan @dansheehan.bsky.social · 22h

Yooo there it is

That's it! Looking for a way to word card text that would allow alteration to deckbuilding restrictions

Dan Sheehan @dansheehan.bsky.social · 22h

Yeah! We're teetering between a mechanic that allows for green cards with non-green abilities or one that allows you to run non-green basics

I would just be stressed out the entire time!

The alternative is easier, if a little boring, where the commander lets you run basic lands of any type so you can play Domain cards

Dan Sheehan @dansheehan.bsky.social · 22h

So current concept is an eminence or companion type of ability that allows for your cards to be green in casting cost but have multicolored activated abilities

This is from a design standpoint so we’re hoping to avoid that

I understand that volume wise it’s the same or quieter than a regular conversation but I still find the act of taking work Zooms at coffee shops to be insane

Need a Magic judge's input: Some buds and I are doing a challenge to make mono green commanders that aren't boring and I'm trying to figure out if wording exists to make a commander who, if they're your commander, allows your starting deck to have cards that are green in color but not color identity

Like anybody with eyes can see that a company like Disney has SO much more to lose from this than they have to gain, so why are they letting it happen?

For like 20 years, you weren't able to make a YouTube video featuring a popular song without getting hit with an orbital laser. I don't understand how every single one of these deeply litigious companies is okay with turning their copyrighted IP into sludge people can pay another company to make

In my dreams I am often being pursued by mysterious agents in pursuit of my schematics for an “all skin bite apple.” They are furious that I’ve developed something that’s basically a baking sheet of sweet, crisp skin and flesh, they want it for themselves

Also like I’ve gone to such great efforts throughout all this to neutralize my phone’s effects by using Brick and stuff so to still have a guy try to be smarmy really got my ass

Old busybody on my walk hit me with a “real attentive…” because I was texting while walking a cranky baby, had no idea it was hour three of a tantrum and was subjected to the most impassioned demolishing I’ve ever given a person sober lmao

Obviously adverb soup isn’t fun to read but I think a lot of people’s early development got stifled by trying to write really spartan prose
