The kids made me a bunch of cards for my Father’s Day video… here’s the ones that didn’t make it!

BiakaPlays @biakaplays.com · 21/06/2026

My 6 year old grabbed the new Marvel UB card: Stark Industries Executive and drew her version. Look at that IronMan armor!!! I could cry from being so proud 🥹

My wife was reading to the girls tonight, & Sawmi my 6 yo started crying, then I read the epilogue & we just wept. This was such a beautiful & fun graphic novel, but that ending just had us missing our kitty, Oscar.

Even the idea of fake sci-fi fascists has worn itself thin over 13 years with these sleeves. Because the real world keeps echoing the same playbook—and I’m tired. New sleeves. Same deck. Same joy. Clearer head.

Goodbye for now buddy. Find a warm spot to nap, a neighborhood to roam, a little girl to nuzzle, a nice lady to sit next to, another cat to bug, & a papa to pet you. On this side of the life’s curtain, you always found a way back to us, but soon we’ll find our way back to you. 🐈❤️

An abandoned furball that found its way to the Dean Farm & into Lora's life & eventually into mine. Though we are heartbroken because he was a very very very good buddy, we are even more grateful today because a cat named Oscar loved us all so very much. #cat #tribute

He hopped onto bed whenever he sensed we were sad, crying or breakfast was running late. He was never just a cat, he was a part of the Zaidarhzauva’s.

Oscar crawled on top of us when we sat down for our late night tv or video games. He waddled into the presence of our guests and wore his orange fur like a royal cape. He sat by me for 8 years as I started working from home, demanding cameos on Zoom & Google Meet.

Indulge a sad cat-dad as I remember my buddy Oscar with a lengthy post... Oscar was a part of this family. His paw prints & belly fuzz are all over the house and our lives. His patience for the kids grew as their chubby baby hands started to rain kitty treats towards him.

We said goodbye to our sweet buddy Oscar. He was 14, loving, gentle, goofy and hungry boi. I wept because for the past 12 years, he was my little buddy who sat next to me as I worked, played video games & went through my cards. I miss him & hope I’ll see him again one day. #cats

My favorite scene in Muppet Christmas Carol sitting down all lonely near a big fire, his own house, robe and a giant plate of cheese and Bread. Peak burnt-out-Holidays-vibe

We get a new ornament every year since 2014…and it usually takes us a while at the store to decide. This year we took one glance at this and said “yup.”

BiakaPlays @biakaplays.com · 10/12/2025

My daughter: I’m sorry I broke your ornament… maybe I’ll buy you a Magic Card… Me: *laughs* baby how you gonna afford Secret Lair’s Godzilla Lands? This didn’t happen, but i did think it when she said that 🤣

What if in MTG, we had a tradition of challenging each other to a duel, and whoever wins gets the loser’s playmat… lol. Playmat the Gathering!

BiakaPlays @biakaplays.com · 02/12/2025

I think it's important that I have a pile of cards that they can play with it, draw on & be around. Just being exposed to Papa’s hobby & not seen as a nuisance is how I want my kids to feel around my office. #mtg #dadlife

After 11 years of marriage, the darkly comedic fights fueled by sparks of miscommunications & petty selfishness, submerged in an ocean of love, mixed in with raising two humans… makes The Roses the most relatable, fun & dark romantic comedy I’ve enjoyed in years. Cumberbatch x Colman *chef’s 😘

After 5 years I finally updated my gaming keyboard… unfortunately the AULA F75 Pro Mechanical Keyboard, feels so sturdy & sounds so addictively good, i might switch my Logitech MX keyboard out for it too… #gears #gamingrig

Last night I had to choose between $50 in fast food burgers… or bite the bullet and make some ramen for less than $15! Took longer but the wife & kiddos loved it

Secret Lair must have heard the groans from fans of Monster Hunter and MTG fans. I don't know if its a win, but I hope WOTC and considers slowing down and making more of these SL drops, fan-focused, lore applicable & accessible for all collectors/gamers/newbies. #secretlair

Release Day for Avatar x MTG, but I'm choking up from this moving & poignant unboxing of the ATLA Collector Box from @tolariancommunitycollege.com as the Prof reflects on the Aang Neon Ink Foil he pulled. 🫡Prof you're a real one. #transrights @translifeline.org 🏳️‍⚧️ Watch it here: tinyurl.com/acrnyayz

Day 2 of making MTG look more appealing to my partner and kids. Taking @strixhavendropout.bsky.social challenge to get the house playing any format of MTG with me in one year!

Real talk: learn to make simple miso x chicken broth. Add dashi, grab some cool hot pot ingredients from a local asian market. Have fresh veggies or eggs… add that MSG!!! This beats regular breakfast when you're craving savory & warm, filling but light favors for cold mornings! Have fun! Stay full!

Picked up these Riftbound precon decks while I was out. Swear these aren't gonna take over my life… fingers crossed #riftbound
