ooo I love that card it's so pretty 😍 I grabbed one collector booster (my first!) and got the fancy art hexling squelcher - I haven't played red yet but I guess I'm gonna!

I had some backup preorders from Amazon that I was gonna cancel if I could buy stuff locally, so I got the commander decks locally and I'll have to keep them for the bundle and box - excited to open more because the art is just so dang good

it was great!! I went 2-1 with a kind of crappy elves deck, I was hoping to play goblins or kithkin but pulled mostly giants and elementals who felt too difficult to pilot in limited. not bad for my first prerelease! and yeah it was packed, the sold out of bundles and boxes before we got there

I'm enjoying the chaos of commander, I really like the 4 person format, but phew it's messy and not a good way to learn 😂 that's so cool, good for him! lorwyn looks so extremely my shit, and this will be my first prerelease - some friends brought over their bloomburrow cube to teach us how it works

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

I don’t know what their structure is like since they got bought by Corsair but if Drop convinced Sony to make a version of the MDR-7506s with a removable cord and better pads you’d see the profits from space.
