Things to expect from me:
- Magic the Gathering, Commander mostly
- Destiny 2
- Sometimes other video games?
- Bemoaning the state of the tech industry and/or capitalism

As a long-time Boulder and Katana user, looks like it's time for me to start looking at alternatives. Such a weird move to try and sneak this out there, almost like they knew it wouldn't go down well.
Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social are the marginals on these boxes post-licencing worth directly funding anti-trans policy? Or do you just generally hate queer people?
