Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah, that's why I think it'll be notably a notably worse experience in bomb reliant sets. I could see it being less of an issue depending on mechanics too. We already saw god packs in OG Theros block, but they literally had a bunch of color reliant gods so you probably weren't jamming more than 1-2 000
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 05/10/2026My only real complaint is god packs making sealed/prerelease potentially more luck based than it already is. In bomb reliant sets (which admittedly isn't every or even most sets) it'll make the experience more fun for a handful of players and less fun for the folks playing them. 100

Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm on like chapter 4 for Dietrich and I swear I've done as much combat as my entire Leda run. I'm glad they're different experiences, but dear god I need them to give me some variety in this path. 100

Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A while back a friend recommended Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers. Sleeping on it while I worked through my book backlog was a mistake. It asks so many fundamental questions that I feel like I've been trying to figure out since long before I was laid off. It's going to sit with me for a long time. 000
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah, I'm 40 hours into Leda's campaign and still have chapters to go. Its a behemoth. Not sure if I'll finish because it seems to really encourage you to do all 4 campaigns. 100
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The in print part is tricky. - Marvels: definitely in print - Earth/Universe/Paradise X: no clue but parts were out if print for a long time. They were also dense AF, but so good. - Someone else mentioned the Loeb/Sale books 000
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Spiderman Blue was the best of the lot, but I liked them all for their various explorations of characters in a particular emotional point in time. 000
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Maybe it'll be mutations. Or superpowers. Patient Zero or Worlds Shittiest Origin Story seem equally likely outcomes. 010

Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Rare and Obsidian getting swallowed, Ninja Theory and Arkane getting shuttered. We've lost a lot of studios that made really unique games over the past few years, but I can't remember losing so many at once. 010

Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026But also, a lot of seemingly useless powers end up having uses through training and creative application. The analogy for real life skills and talents is absolutely there 010
Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026One of the clever things they do is make a number of powers situationally useful. The guy who is literally just a laundry machine is somehow a hero and there's got to be a story there. 120

Jason Swan @bartlebey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Man I love the narrative Reality Fracture (new MTG set) creates in draft. Adding existing and alternate reality versions of the same character in the same pack creates the opportunity for the two to face each other during the draft. It uses the design of the pack to surface it's central conflict 010
