I made some digimon art, thought I’d share.
Flamedramon was always a favorite of mine.
I’ve been getting into and enjoying playing the Digimon Trading Card Game.
The game uses a pretty cool shared resource system between players, if you havent played it yet, check it out.

100%! I love this advice! I'm gonna do it!
Hey btw, have you recently told someone you work with how much you appreciate their collaboration, or their ideas, or anything else that's cool about them and what they bring to the team?
Just a thought, but do it.
It means a lot to be on the receiving end + it's a pretty cool feeling all around.
