Hell yeah man, glad to hear you're enjoying life! Have a great trip!

The idea that product fatigue is limited to a "very small minority" of the playerbase is ridiculous. The response is also telling, they admit that their products are NOT intended for hyper enfranchised players and multi format health, but for enticing new players to buy product for short term profit

My content consumption lately is almost exclusively cat fostering stories and then being reminded that any attempt from me to foster will result in a foster fail because my heart can't handle the thought of a cat healing and letting down its' defenses for me only to watch them go to another family

Nothing is guaranteed, but it feels so good to have a goal and something to put my energy towards

I know what most people will say, so I think I will go with Tinker 👀

Well this has inspired my new saturday plans. Walk to the LGS for some classic bulk box hunting followed by the chinese restaurant right next door

Just spoke with a local university about a program for a teaching certification. With my prior classes and background I may be in line for a fast track completion... fingers crossed 🤞

All I want is an MTG Singleton World Championship Weekend sponsored by all the big names in Card Stores and Accessories. Day 1 Friday features top cEDH players in swiss rounds cut to a Top 4 Finals Pod that will open Championship Sunday morning.

Yeah I think a lot of people have taken strong liberal victories of recent memory in the state for granted, like somehow the semi-consistent "blue/red" state dividing lines that have dominated in the US the last 20 years are evergreen. We conveniently forget how suddenly things shift and change

Tyler, Defender of the Humanities @nidofan90.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I really fucking love that, in an election cycle that should be a blue tsunami, my homestate that is consistently ignored as a "safe" dem state is this tightly contested. For the past decade I have predicted that OR will flip by 2030. Very few ever took me seriously. Please let me be wrong

CW: pet death So... the spare bathroom has been essentially closed up since my cat Bear passed last year. We had put in his carrier and a couple other things in there and said "we'll deal with it later." Well. Now later is upon us. Trying not to lose it as I step on an old squeaky toy rn...

If pokemon had a decent deckbuilding tool I probably would've switched over YEARS ago

Solo movie trip for new Resident Evil. Good weather for the walk, nice chat with someone at the bookstore while kiling time, now concessions aquired. 🍻

I thought it was more expensive so I never picked one up... don't mind me as I meander to my lgs to grab one

Holy shit... I forgot all about this game... a friend of mine in elementary school brought it to my place once. I just wanted to play pokemon

"If we pollute the sea, it all comes back to haunt us eventually." Pokemon has always been woke

We need to fundamentally change our ways if we want to make any progress, but I have a feeling we are too far gone

I hoped the current cultural moment surrounding the hatred of data centers causes a reckoning regarding water consumption and energy use in general. Yes, AI use will kill the environment, but we have spent DECADES doing damage with every google search and every youtube video played

Hope you reported them for sexual harassment after the fact. Those five words were their opportunity to let it all go and they decide to double down? Uh uh

OK... I finally have everything set up for the great migration from old gen pokemon to pokemon home. Since I still have time between now and the bank closure, I think I will replay Colosseum, get all of the shadows, Ho Oh and the Jirachi to bring as well. Just need a link cable for GBA/GC

Back on my bullshit (writing cringe lyrics to process my depression that will sit on a notepad collecting dust) But for real though, sometimes you just gotta get the things in your head out and onto a page. Don't hold onto that shit, it's killing you.

First time playing gen 5... boy Ghetsis and his Hydreigon are real SOBs

Man it'd be so cool to have an economy based on what is actually produced and traded rather than having the majority of capital tied up in speculative gambling... But the current model has "been around so long" and has "worked for so many people" that we can't ever even discuss a different approach

Tyler, Defender of the Humanities @nidofan90.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

If I am honest, neither. I think 20 y/o me would be happy to see some of my growth, and sad to see my loss of passion and fire. I'd like to think they'd buy me a drink and tell me it's never too late to try

I know not the mechanics of the game, but Rek'Sai sounds like something up my alley!

Massie setting himself up for a 2028 run at the presidency. I don't think his coalition of "anti MAGA" grifters will get far, the party is dead. And hopefully we can bury it deep enough to STAY dead

I just had this conversation with my parents yesterday, but after seeing Mitch in that state today I will say publicly: If I am ever in that state, just let me go. I don't want it

Yeah really fucking glad I listened to other people and gave up on music to pursue "marketable skills" so I "wouldn't struggle so much" in the future...

Huh... logged on to hatch an egg, swarm of Gible shows up. Shiny after just a few catches. I'll take it!

Oh yeah... wiped on Cynthia. It wasn't even the Garchomp that was the issue it was the Lucario. Oh well, kept the file alive for transferring mons forward before Bank shuts down. On to just a nornal Crystal run and the race to Celebi!

Do itttt! Now that the weather is cooling I wanna start running again. I worked up to a half marathon right before covid and havent run since

OK... tonight the Gen4 nuzlocke ends. After months (several breaks) of grinding and heavy losses I have prepped the best possible team from a shash box

The Rocky/Creed franchise is one of the best (and most misunderstood) of all time. I could write a book about the films. Sadly, Stallone is a real piece of shit who doesn't understand his own character.

Writing long cringey posts only to delete before posting as I realize that is what therapy is for

Commander night last night, 2-1 on the evening. All Chris Rahn Art got there off of Angels w/ swords Lathril got nerfed by a Koma tapping the board Borrowed a buddy's Sefris dungeon deck and got there w/o entering a dungeon once, purely off reanimation value after a slow start

PSA: yes the format is proxy friendly (please please try it out, come play!) BUT make sure to check in with the LGS first, some stores do have limits on proxies in your deck. Everyone is super friendly though and just wants you to be able to play the game 😄 #magicthegathering

It has been a long time since I have picked up a guitar (and have never claimed to be good even when I was playing more regularly) but I can tell when someone is faking it. I HATE when singers throw on a guitar for a photo op instead of actually playing

Not currently, but I have been meaning to put Krenko together just because I have all these goblins I'm not using rn, and I just opened the Sauron box topper sooo I may put that one together just because I have one
