flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As somebody who spiralled really badly into bipolar last year due to leaning on LLMs to cope with grief, seconding this. LLMs should be treated by therapists like a client having mild substance use+making a shaky new friend- not necessarily a guaranteed spiral, but needing serious assessment 020

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Or maybe find a way to bring on some fans/friends to help share the work? Your problem is you're bleeding yourself dry to try to share what you love as content. It may be best to like, curate/endorse fan content or the like for a stretch. The pasta cookoffs were brilliant, tho they chewed you up too 090
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Honestly, buddy, I would recommend that you take a year to go for some back to basics fundamentals. You burnt yourself up hard on the end sprint for Mortasheen in the past year-Maybe just take some time down to just like, adventure and write some sort of character blog as a diary of something? 1200
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I really just want to see the neutral Dem stance on Trans Rights to be "how does this actually fucking affect you?" to any of the bigots going off about it.

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 06/10/2026House MD and Heroes were the two big casualties of the writer's strike- if they coulda maintained their pre-strike quality for their full run, they would be Breaking Bad level legends, instead of just fondly remembered widgets 010

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I liked a lot of what they did at Common. The rest of the set was honestly pretty uninteresting- felt like an old core set, and not in a good way. C, dead center 100

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm really struggling to understand that. Like, unless there is some John Wick style Donkey Show secret society, what is the numbers on that? Maybe 3,000 people total in the entire country, being generous? That grows the FBI recruitment pool by .001%? Maybe they're scouting David Cameron? 030
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The only question when it comes to future dramatic brow furrowing is if the culprit is Joyce, Billie, the patriarchy, or Robin trying to buttchug a 2 liter of Mountain Dew 030

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Nah, they're both better than Magus of the Wheel, because you don't get throat punched by the four color player the moment you say "I tap 2R and play Magus of the- Hrk!" 000
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Tbh, the Red one would be fixed if they just gave it a nasty ward cost, because there is also the politics of other people at the table wanting it left alive. But as is, he is the softest boy to removal. 000
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026For my build, yeah, primarily due to ease of rebuying creatures. The Red one *is* innately repeatable, so like, I could see some kind of weird group hug/chaos deck preferring it, but usually, decks like that aren't exactly assessing cards based on raw power. 000
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wouldn't put her top 10 for saltiest mono black commanders. Maybe top 50, but like... As long as you're not using her as part of a Dictate of Erebos style lock, should be okay. 110
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You want instant speed hand dumping options, so the window is super tight. Still risky, but the right deck would be okay- I know my Grixis phoenix list would be pretty okay with it, because half the deck plays from the yard anyways 100
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ironically, *both* are kinda bad in Nekusar. One is optional draw so it's 6 Mana for just you wheel, and the other requires surviving around the table while you only have one card in hand, cuz nobody else is gonna be heck bent 010
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah, seconding this. One is "if your hand is shit, everybody ships". The other is "whenever you want, everybody who wants gets to refill". Not saying forcing the guy with a grip of 20 cards to ditch his hand is *common*, but I would say it comes up about every 4 or 5 games or so 050
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Jace didn't actually need to sacrifice himself, he was just ducking the consequences of "For the Man Who Has Everything"ing the angriest man in the multiverse 030

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The problem is that they found the back door into the American psyche: "You're an individualist if you believe this propaganda" is a fuckin cheat code 000

flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Does the other qualifier mean other than the cast creature spell or other than itself? I'm guessing the latter, which is disappointing (since the former would just be clarification that you can't flicker the spell, duh) 100
flamewakephoenix.bsky.social @flamewakephoenix.bsky.social · 12/09/2026There is the caveat that Voltron decks do like to bully last place, but that's an inherent structural flaw to Voltron decks being bad. Most Voltron builds kind of angle for 3rd, because they either kill last place or the archenemy then get Punked on the crackback 000
