Having a great time with Hades 2 so far, as expected. Was smart of me to not replay Hades beforehand as I got the intended experience of being bodied repeatedly until I got get a handle on all the movement etc. Still die sometimes, mostly to bosses filling the whole arena with death while I go ???

I'll see if I draft enough of this set to resurrect the trophy draft thread! First draft, 7-0, format solved let's all go home thread over :3
A 7-0 draft deck with 3 White landcyclers

I am suddenly feeling nostalgic for forum-based text Let's Plays I used to read, stuff like X-Com etc. Seems like this would be an incredible game for one of those.

Holy crap! Honestly if I get homesick I should apparently just get this game and wander about the sketchy council flats and such. Much like I should get Bloodborne if I ever leave England and want to revisit it

Having to spend the better part of over a month with no MTG, returning to arrive just in time for The Hobbit limited, and now getting extremely frequent validation/can't join queue/network/other errors is like the universe trying to tell me to stop playing Arena X)

Haven't had internet in our new house since we moved in, since scumbag company BT put a block on the line, preventing other companies from switching over. Then they had the nerve to say the only way to sort it was to sign up to them. Screw them! Can't even get it sorted until 11th of September.

RIP me again day 2 of the qualifier. Felt fairly confident going into game 3 of the last one that I was going to be at least getting another day 2 token, but hit a block of 8 land instead of the ever popular 'any non-land card' which would have either allowed me to race them or kill a She-Hulk.

Any time I check in on what's happening in the world of football, it always reaffirms my decision to never get invested in it. Checking to see if England were going to win (and if the locals might be going bananas), and every incident is some shithousery that would be so crushing if you cared.

To illustrate to a MTG player that's been out of it for a while the levels of power creep I got to use this example: My opponent on the play triple Duress'd me, made a turn 3 thing that comes back if you kill it, then one-shot me on turn 4. And this easy, powerful deck is like tier 3 at best 🫠

To think, Sony put this advertisement out a decade ago as the PS4 was being announced. Almost single-handedly made PlayStation win right then and there. What a world we live in now... www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSI...

Had a Playstation since PS1, sad to see a terminal prognosis for a beloved hobby. Sure, I am no stranger to digital games now (plenty of games don't get physical releases after all), but I think this move guarantees an enshitification process that will slowly make the console experience ever worse.

Marvel in constructed feels like another victim of Standard's absurd power level. I would love to built around some of the sweet designs, or Hero/Villain themes, but there's simply no point in trying. In past STD, though sketchy build arounds were rarely great, you could expect to win *sometimes*

I like it when cards have subtle hints in the art as to what you're supposed to do with them in game, and it matches the real experience
MTG's Civil War card with '7 wins' from an Arena draft poorly edited over the real art

Apparently I managed to watch all of Baki from original series up to the end of the latest season in about a week. Amazing the amount of nonsense you can watch when it's too hot to do too much else and you've gotten some practice at covertly watching stuff on your laptop while the kids can't see.

It's so nice playing Final Fantasy draft after so long compared to other recent sets. There are so many more ways to draft than the more railroaded experiences in Strixhaven 2 etc, and in my personal opinion I think the power level of the set is not overly high.

So Arena out up a Phantom Foundations draft, except it's unranked so it's not Premier, and the blurb on the event told me I keep the cards, so maybe it's not Phantom. How weird

Kinda funny how despite not playing any Tekken in like the last 10 years outside of Tekken 2 for the nostalgia and great soundtrack, nor having watched any Baki, the recent Tekken 8 fighter announcement has gotten me tempted to both get a recent Tekken and considering finding the O.G. Baki seasons
