Pokemon is like the 99 cent arizona ice tea can of video games, if they drastically changed I imagine that as one of the signs of societal collapse.

Every time a new pokemon game comes out there is a flood of articles from folks angry that the "my first rpg" game doesn't acknowledge that the writer grew up, and should still be the main audience of the game despite not being 8 anymore, and fuck the kids who *are* 8 coming to this for the 1st time

I mean HE IS pretty and gives opponents fun choices.... Also he looks like he is wearing the night's sky.

Always: mad love to everyone protesting against corrupt tyranny - but please do ensure, if you haven't already, that you join liberatory groups after the protest. Mobilisation without organisation is a parade.

The situation is too dire for us to not push beyond disagreeable placards. Solidarity ✊

This is the model family. Just two weirdos and their weird dog who all share a hyper fixation.

Also I'd love to see more cards that care about having multiple types among them.

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

Yoooo searing touch let's fucking go! I love this card

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah, and I mean he really stood by it, him and Jor Kadeen fought all that way from Besieged to the march.

I don't like the new card but I love Jor Kadeen as an ideal.

This would have been such a sick card in the Fallout decks as power armor for that one Brotherhood Knight who helped found Jacob's Town

Panel 1: Shen is looking down at his hand from a somewhat bottom-up perspective, saying "y'know, I think it's time I learned to draw hands."

Panel 2: We focus on Shen's hand from his perspective. It is very simplistic, looking sort of like a water-inflated white rubber glove with 3 fingers and a thumb.

Panel 3: The text says "*horrible cracking noise*" as the hand transforms into a realistic 4-fingered hand (albeit still paper white, as that is Shen's skin color). The panel is decorated with a spiral of chaotic, shaky black and yellow lines.

Panel 4: Shen is looking down at his hands, which are now both realistic, large 4-fingered hands. He says "Oh HELL yes. Now time to get that YAOI MONEY."

I need to narrow down my approach but it bugs me this specific term "Defense Contractor" cuz it feels like a modern euphemism.

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

Ugh looking up Peter Singer is annoying cuz i have to pry about futurist Peter Singer and the Animal Liberation Peter Singer who are both intensely different people.

Here I was thinking I might've found a lead on the history of defense contracting.

"Beep beep! I hit you with my car! Now give me da maaaagic!"

Didn't mean to quash the positivity, like I said if what your plan was was to announce where to find you that is pretty good. Definitely if you plan on this sort of thing moving forward hit up some of the long timers or bigger names to get input early.

Cutting off my extremities its a farewell to arms.

So I just found the scene from doctor who I have been looking for on and off for years. Series 1 Episode 6 of the 9th Doctor's run.

Whenever I'd look up the "Its over, I won" scene folks were saying it a misremembering but no, its the very end of that episode after "the Last Dalek" dies.

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

This reminds me of the 9th Doctor from Doctor Who at the end of S1E6 "Dalek"

Rose: Is that the end of it? The time war?
Doctor: Im the only one left... I win. How about that?

The impact of those words are hard to transcribe unless you know the episode.

So is this going to be the buzz-kill channel for Lobby con for folks trying to wind down with friends? Like if its going to be you naming specific spots you are going that is good, if it is going to be naming places others are going that is a problem.

This card is actually emotionally pretty important to me as over the years I have worked hard to become a less hateful/spiteful person and try to "preach" the same to others.

Hate, resentment, spite are all so destructive and I have to resist them so hard to not revert back to that person again

The hardest hitting flavor text of all time is a warning about wishing harm on other:

"Each side prayed for the gods to smite the other. In the end, all their prayers were answered."

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

When any of my cards are slime-like or involve some kind of goo and putting counters or effects on my opponents stuff I am almost like

"I am going to gak up your guy/gal" or "I'll give them the goo"

I love this art so much, its so stupid. Like why are these Furby just throwing themselves at Aurelia? Did Tamiyo send them? What has caused such bloodlust?

I want to know the story of their endless rage against the Boros Legion.

If you could start your magic games with an Emblem in play which one would you want?

So I quoted with my favorite flavor text ever but like Wandering Ones still haunts me as someone with very severe depression:

“I saw them once, when I was a child. They led me to my parents’ arms when I was lost. Why have they abandoned me now? Why won’t they take me home again?”
—Unnamed beggar"

I feel kinda sad for the one EDH YouTuber who I watched for like 3 months or so and then he kinda just crashed out because of Commander becoming something he really didn't like.

One of the problems players face is thinking of Commander as like A Thing that exists rather than a Thing You Do.

Hugmonger - Come To SCG Con Baltimore :) @hugmonger.bsky.social · 1d

I am working on possibly building one as a Spellshaper deck. Figure its one of those that could be good in a control shell, if you dont deploy your counter magic or removal, just get some lil guys.
