I had no idea what to do with them so I've been collecting them in my display case. They're awesome!

Yeah Bolas is worthy but also Hatsune Miku, actual cannibal Atogatog, and Megatron. We need a scryfall tag for worthy creatures because these are hilarious.

A magic card with Thor's Hammer Mjölnir

Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor {3}{R}

Legendary Artifact — Equipment

When Mjölnir enters, it deals 4 damage to up to one target creature.

Double all damage equipped creature would deal.

Equip worthy {1} (A creature is worthy if it’s a legendary non-Villain that’s red and/or white.)

{2}{R}, Discard this card: It deals 2 damage to each creature.

Atogatog {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}

Legendary Creature — Atog

Sacrifice an Atog creature: Atogatog gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the sacrificed creature’s power.

It relishes old-fashioned family meals.

Megatron, Tyrant {3}{R}{W}{B}

Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot

More Than Meets the Eye {1}{R}{W}{B} (You may cast this card converted for {1}{R}{W}{B}.)

Your opponents can’t cast spells during combat.

At the beginning of each of your postcombat main phases, you may convert Megatron. If you do, add {C} for each 1 life your opponents have lost this turn.

I love that Scryfall's deck editor has like a 2000 character limit or something crazy like that.

I saw this for literally one second and realized that @alyossan.art has affected my perception of Crow and his Big Naturals irreparably. Anyway #TrailsBeyondtheHorizon is amazing

Crow and his huge chest look at Risette and says some words I was too distracted to read.

Daybreak 2 has been an absolute roller coaster so far, probably my favorite early game mechanically and the story has been *way* above par. Specific thoughts for Act 1 in the alt text below. (Pretending I post regularly with my #EriRedBadStuff tag just in case)

I love the concept that there's just like an evil Mare floating around that Mare REFUSES TO COMMENT ON. Also playing with the English dub sets up the easy March 7th / March 8th joke.

Being somehow related to the Elysium Code with Lapis in a coma, in addition to the Drakengard 3 timeline nonsense are making me think this is some sort of alternate timeline Van?

In addition to how much the character animations have approved I just love this goober. I look forward to more of Gilbert 2.

The new combat system is probably my favorite so far in the series, at least for early game. I always felt like, especially in the Cold Steel games, you just don't have anything cool to do early on, but with the new swap stun and EX Chain attacks I'm actually finally enjoying DB combat.

Probably for the same reason I have VASTLY preferred the Marchen Garten over any implementation of the Corridor, we'll see how that holds up in general but I'm having a blast so far.

Nadia has been leaning on the fourth wall all game and she is so real for it. Daybreak is easily the funniest of the arcs and this gremlin has been a huge part of it.

A terrible pic of my cubicle wall I took this week so I could show off my two @alyossan.art stickers. When people ask who they are I say these are my favorite two couples in the series that my Gunplas are from. Which turns out to be a FANTASTIC litmus test on how to further direct the conversation.

I'll be starting Trails Through Daybreak II tomorrow! Going to try to post screenshots here for my playthrough (unless I'm streaming) so please mute #EriRedBadStuff if you want to avoid those posts. I'll be streaming the prologue and then posting here afterwards tomorrow afternoon.

Gearing up for the final dungeon of Trails Through Daybreak. Regardless of how it ends, this is hands down the funniest game in the whole series. Late game choice in the spoiler tag below. I might try to do one of those screenshot LP deals for DB2 but i gotta get better at taking screenshots first

A dialogue choice where the options are 1: "Bring up their family bonds" or 2: "Recommend a Divorce"

Coming up on six months in #FFXIV and getting less bad at glamour plates. Grabbing seasonal outfits for like 2-3 bucks each over time has been super helpful towards this too I just wish most dyes weren't so damn expensive (looking at you Dragoon Blue)

Can't lie, I very much enjoy this game. Just got my first room in the FC house, about to beat ARR, and been crafting up a storm getting new gear situated. There's gotta be a setting I'm missing to disable your equipment in gpose, but I feel like I'm getting better at lighting at lease.

This is my OC Amy, she wants you to drink water, punch G-d, and play Trails in the Sky.

Amy has an important message for everyone!

Amy has a sword and will beat you with it unless you drink more water.

Been subbed for about a month and gotta say I'm obsessed with Final Fantasy 14 now. Gotta learn how to make my own glamour crystals so I can keep a good shirt all the way through the leveling process. Or conversely I just focus on the MSQ so I can keep this gear longer lmao.
