Wait. There's a little tiny short story on the back of every box of Dragon Shield card sleeves? Is there lore? Is there like a Dragon Shield wiki, chronicling all of the characters and their goings-on?

I've been told I need to be more social, and maybe playing Commander should help. To me, this kind of sounds like getting a job renovating Camp Crystal Lake. But sure. Maybe I'll try it.

"Downtown Nekketsu Story" should actually be River City Ransom. But RCR isn't on this site, so I had to use the Japanese title. I'm sure if you ask me tomorrow, it'll be a different nine games. Lunar is one of the few JRPGs I can beat without getting tired of it. #My9Games

Alt Text: A 3x3 grid of nine video game covers, arranged with three rows and three columns, with descriptive titles below each. At the top, a title banner reads "My 9 Games" and below it, "The 9 Games That Shaped Who I Am".

Row 1, Left to Right:

Downtown Nekketsu Story
Mega Man 2
Doom

Row 2, Left to Right:
Metal Gear Solid
Fallout: New Vegas
Shadowrun

Row 3, Left to Right:
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Shenmue
Cyberpunk 2077

"#My9Games" is readable below the grid.

Ran across this Magic card while doing inventory at work today. The Fozzie-tier jokes are limitless. "Hada Freeblade... But then I got one that costs money." "Hada Freelbade... But then I lost it." "Hada Freeblade... But it broke. You get what you pay for."

Magic: The Gathering card "Hada Freeblade". It is a white Creature card with a mana cost of one white mana and stats of 0/1. The creature type is Human Soldier Ally. The text box reads: "Whenever Hada Freeblade or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, you may put a +1/+1 counter on Hada Freeblade." The flavor text says: "I toiled in Kazuul's mines when I was eight. I think I'm tough enough for a little hiking." Illustrated by Cyril Van Der Haegen.

I haven't done pixel art in a while, so I fired up Aseprite. I wanted to do something that looked like it could be from an NES beat-em-up. 32x32 pixels. Six colors used. With sprite layering, it's theoretically possible on real hardware (each NES sprite is 3 colors plus transparency).

“Miagic” are the only cards not compatible with ALL-CARDS, because they suck so much.

It's obvious that I'm not the one who directed Obsession. After that Hansel and Gretel scene, I would have had a character be like "Amazing fanfic! Are you on AO3? You should read this Mr. Clean / Goku enemies-to-lovers thing I wrote. I'm up to 54 chapters!"

This dice box looked pretty cool until I zoomed in and I saw the AI "Miagic" cards, and the "Wmagic" playmat.

A close-up of a scene featuring AI-generated cards and an AI-generated twenty-sided die. One of the cards reads "MIAGIC" while a playmat reads "WMAGIC," followed by AI-generated gibberish.

An AI-generated photo of a man about to drop a die into a combination dice tower, storage box, and dice tray. He's holding AI-generated cards in his hand, while an AI-generated playmat and cards are on the table. None of them seem to be able to spell the word "Magic" correctly.

I'm not a rationalist. I'm a Ralston-alist. We really believe Bill & Ted's Excellent Cereal should come back. And either the Spider-Man or TMNT cereal - they were identical anyway. The facts don't lie. Once those cereals left store shelves, all of this crap happened.

So for some reasons (I'll get into it later), I ended up getting the D&D Heroes of the Borderlands starter box. And... I'm actually kind of impressed? They actually seem to have put a decent chunk of stuff in here for the money. I still have to dock them for not including a little pencil.
