@ryanoverdrive.bsky.social what do you think is the best starter Twobert for experienced MTG players and cube players? Original Recipe looks great but wondering if you think Vintage, Tempo, or even something like Peasant is most rewarding for people who already play a lot of MTG and different cubes.

Sad to see the complete vacuum of creativity on display here. No story to tell, no point of view, just a crowdsourced crowd pleaser that only exists to make a billion dollars for a studio desperately trying to stay relevant.

On this week's show, we journey into the world of Vita mods, including Stan's first foray into Gravity Rush. Shane also plays some Tony Hawk 3, and we map out the possibilities of Steam Deck's new GeForce NOW app. Stream the show at whatsthatinyourpocket.fireside.fm/9 or wherever you download pods!

Level 9: Vita Means Life

Stan picks up a Vita and discovers what life truly is as he gets heavy with Gravity Rush. Meanwhile, Shane is still (mostly) only playing games with a resolution of 160x144.

When it's time to retire, you can cash in the decades of collectibles you've accumulated by bringing a plastic bag of trading cards to an expensive convention where someone will offer you a modest bulk rate based on an eyeball estimate of how many cards are in the bag.

Talked to some Brits about Tories and learned that Thatcher is infamous for shutting down coal mines. So I said, "well that kind of sounds like a good thing?" To which one slowly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and said quietly, "she destroyed communities, Stan."
