Book finished. Very enjoyable though I dont think I agree with krakauers view on mccandless. And its crazy how "manly men for men" this book is. You can count the women in this story on one hand and still have fingers left over. But a good read and very thought provoking.

Realized my commander decks were missing some tokens so I made some :)
5 altered magic the gathering cards to turn them into tokens. They are done very messy and rough and charmingly bad

Went 0-3 at my prerelease with a pretty greedy and suboptimal build. But I DID trade for my boy(s) afterwards

last night i finished reading Wombs by Shirai Yumiko on the recommendation from @plushmayhem.bsky.social really interesting and good and sad and weird. i'd recommend
a panel from Wombs of a strange little kid with a weird mouth and dot eyestwo panels from Wombs of a tetrapod machine with dust or maybe fire flowing around ita panel from wombs of the character Sgt Armea who is halfway transforming into a dog. shes saying "ive come here as the boss of the black dogs. go tell dr. lin that."

funny little zine tutorial that leads to so charmingly janky movement. makes me think a bit about la-mulana's movement and how much i like how that game moves

Kyle Bugbearstew @bugbearstew.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

tabs for code wowee! the box moves along with the player right now to show that walls actually work. i doubt using maps is the best way to go about this but it works for now. next step is to make the box pushable

The resource system is kinda like smashing together MTG Lands and Pokemon TCG Energy. You tap them to cast spells but to play creatures you need to use the right amount of crystals and put them under the creature card. Some Crystals you use give the creature effects such as drawing a card on attack.
three cards with different crystals on them. the first is a single large blue crystal. the second is two blue crystals, and the third is a crystal shattered

Kyle Bugbearstew @bugbearstew.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
It's pretty tough to figure out how you should best sequence your plays in a game of Crystal Conjurers. Do I play Fish before or AFTER my basic blue crystal... #pixelart

Kyle Bugbearstew @bugbearstew.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
these are fun
the same fish and crystal card with some slight changes. 
there is a third card now with two blue crystals on it
