I spent $100 on a nice new portable iron/steamer and a travel ironing board and I'm happy about it. Am I an adult now?

I am a machine that turns 100 play points into 105 play points after my triggers shift on my screen and I put the lotus field sac triggers over top of the bounce land trigger to put my tolaria west in hand 🙃 (happened twice and cost me a 5-0)

Top 4'd my first competitive event with Amulet. Deck is real good. Died to prowess on t3 in both games of my top 4 match. Didn't really feel like there was much I could do tbh

It is insane there are only two teams in the entire American League with .500+ win percentages and there are almost two divisions worth of teams above .500 in the NL.

Ethan @catatonicwalrus.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

After bombing out of several leagues yesterday with Amulet, I have started out 3-0 in my current league. I am beginning to feel myself really improve with the deck. I just had a Boros player salt off on me after I beat them in both of the post-board games on turn 2.

I remain very anxious about the prospect of starting my new job. Does anyone have any advice about beating the imposter syndrome/fear of not meeting expectations of a new role?

I am imploring anyone who thinks Boros energy needs a ban in modern to pick up a combo deck and crush your local Boros player

Not even a mention of Oops! And focusing on Taxes winning a showcase challenge is pretty wild. Get me off of Mr. WotC's wild ride 🫠 Also focusing the entire modern section on Living End? Lol

I've put up a week straight of 4-1s on mtgo with Goryo's and got absolutely *crushed* tonight. Didn't win a game at locals. Statistics catching up with me I suppose. Gotta regress to the mean 🤷🏻

Getting my coworkers interested in math by telling them I can write a function comprised entirely of non-numerics and get a number out of it (they don't know that e and pi are numbers)

i don't really care that much that it's not busted, amulet titan is legitimately one of the worst gameplay experiences still in magic the gathering 🤷

Ethan @catatonicwalrus.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

I hope Phlage becomes more prominent in beans than Uro so there really can be no argument it's just the better titan (and we can unban the king in modern)

All I'm gonna say is never buy a fucking car from Carvana. Holy shit, what a joke of a company.

My singular complaint about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that I want so much more of it.

I feel like not enough people are watching/talking about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's such an important story right now and I believe it'll go down as one of the best shows of the year, as well as one of the best adaptations ever.

I don't know who that is, but they have sick taste in dual lands and very cool tattoos 😎

Did not get a new job I was really hoping to get. Feels really bad, ngl. On the other hand, I don't have to move anywhere which is kinda gas I guess. Still, it would have basically doubled my salary and while money isn't everything it definitely wouldn't have hurt.

It's rare that celebrity deaths have an affect on me, but I am so incredibly saddened by Rob Reiner's death. What an amazing man who gave us truly awe inspiring art. I am who I am today because of Rob Reiner's influences. RIP a real one
