'She's someone's sister/daughter/mother/cousin/auntie/midlane/offtank/etc' No proximity-to-masculinity qualifier needed, babes. She's someone. And that's enough. If you start thinking of women as actual people, you won't struggle with this anymore. Give it a shot.

My LGS has a growing cEDH community, and I feel like I should make a deck to participate, because the prizes are reserve list cards and sealed boxes. They also just decided to be proxy friendly. So... who knows Little about cEDH and wants to teach me?

Post your lock screen! It's a Pokédex! Which matches my red case! I used to have an actual Pokédex case, but it was cheap and feel apart. And the lock screen used to be a sleeping Rotom phone screen, but the aspect ratio is slightly different than the last phone and I haven't fixed it yet.

That's two compete Safari Dex boxes! And a lot more boxes missing one or two Pokémon each. Once again, I'm really desperate for your spare Safari Balls, especially in Sword and Violet.

Shout-out to Burger King for including these cool color identity stickers on my son's kid's meal. Really cool to think of the parents like that.

What I've learned from recent events is that the Magic community is thirsty for lore, while the Pokémon TCG community is starved for stuff related to actually playing the game.

I was deep into RNG manipulating during Gen III-IV, and the result is that now I have a bunch or prize Pokémon with stat spreads that make them feel hacked

So... is there any way to actually see the ad I'm apparently in? Because TikTok search function can't even find an account with that name.

Shower thought: Digimon could exist as media in the Pokémon World. Kids watch Digimon anime and describe characters based on what Pokémon they resemble, like Renamon, the Lucario Digimon. Modders working on Porygon have created plugins to give them the appearance of Digimon.

The best kind of masculinity is the kind that doesn't give a fuck if you wear a tutu and have a beard because your daughter wants you to be a fairy princess. Or if your son wants to be on the dance team, not baseball. Men are not defined by what some idiot thinks is masculine.

it pains me to watch people talk about the 30th etb promo and call it underwhelming. nidorina's the 30th pokemon and there's 30 of them on the card. that's so clever but no one on yt appreciates it :(

I've had a blast doing these "Who is [Legend]" shorts about the MBC Legendary creatures, but I'm running out of characters to talk about. Maybe it's time to take a break and do "What's wrong with..." or "What happened to..." about the Echoverse characters.

People who think it’s acceptable or normal to have to wait hours outside a store for Pokemon cards and just tell ppl who are rightly annoyed they can’t get any to get there earlier annoy me so much. This hobby is ruined by ppl who only care about the cards monetary value.

I dreamed I went to MagicCon Atlanta, and it was just @phyrexianhannah.com sitting at a table in a mall handing out packs. Security was insane. They made me take off my shoes and everything. And after all that, Hannah wouldn't give me a pack because she only had two and she already opened them.

First compete page of the Living Safari Dex! I've been collecting Safari Ball Pokémon since ball breeding became a thing, but I've recently leaned into it hard. Now I'm trying to compete a Safari Dex! If you have some spare Safari Balls in Sw/Sh, Sc/Vi, or Z-A, I'll be happy to breed one to trade!

Integrity is hard. I could whip up a mockup thumbnail for a YouTube video in ten minutes, feed it to an AI, and get a free thumbnail in under an hour. And it would be good enough for most viewers. But that's compromising my morals in exchange for facing a few bucks that I could give an artist.

One of my son's first words is "mo'o," which he uses every day to tell his mother and I about the geckos in the house and yard. Anyways here's a relevant Pokémon video.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
