What Cage has done for literally the past decade is exactly this, he finds a weird eccentric script by a first time filmmaker, signs on, his name brings in clout, he makes the film, and sometimes it's not very good. But it's still artistic as hell. This is why I *love* Cage.

Thought I'd cross post this
Hello everyone,

I’m at SCG Con in Los Angeles and get a few cards signed by Kieran Yanner. We were chit chatting and I found out that his son Corwin had passed away a year ago. He was signing a Curse of Opulence I had and told me that the character in the art was his son, and that his son had also signed some of the cards with his likeness on them. Kieran also mentioned that he was always on the look out for cards his son had signed. 

I told him about this group and that I would try to ask if anyone had any cards that Corwin signed that they would be willing to part with. If you do, please message me so that we can work something out so that I can then mail them to him. Thanks!

What some refer to the "terminal lol" actually serves a very important grammatical function, a sort of copula, akin to the Japanese "desu" lol

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One major thing Trump’s regime and its supporters may seek is to use ICE to instigate civil unrest before the midterms. They want the optics of chaos and minorities tearing up the streets so they can cast themselves as the “good white law-and-order” side. Be wary and don't get used by the regime.

I think the removal of the guaranteed foil (and the complete removal of any chance of getting foil commons and uncommon from Play Boosters) has a much greater effect on the average player than anything to do with collector boosters (shrinkflation is obviously lame too, but nobody I know opens them)

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Honestly, I think alot of the negative reaction to the booster changes is overblown - most of it just won't effect the average player. 2 points I might expand in further videos; the shrinkflation of any product is bad (even Collector Boosters). Focus on mindless pack opening over gameplay sucks.

How do we reconcile this fact with future generations that didn't grow up in it without explicitly turning into the "back in my day, things were better" cliche? Like I need them to know how much the art ecosystems are fundamentally different now without just going "yeah, but cable was just better"

So true. I am also way more of a hoarder than a Marie Kondo when it comes to my cards personally (its a problem). I just wish they wouldn't defend this shrinkflation move with the sentiments of any portion of the playerbase (content creator, pack ripper, collector, or otherwise)

ScytheLizard @scythelizard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I don't agree with the idea of "worth nothing." Every card was designed with a purpose and intent and someone got paid to make the art on it. I think this article and announcement really made me want to push back on the "commons are worthless" stance more than ever. Every card is someone's favorite

I can only control what I can control, and the world order is falling apart, so like whatever But I will be blocking all pack opening content and relentlessly explaining the beauty of the design and artistry put into every foil common/uncommon I see going forward

Whilst the return to a second sale, and print to demand for 24h for Zeta is a positive move - I'm not sure that should overshadow the stupid cost of this stuff. Ask any Toy Collector how much Hasbro is taking the piss out of them, because they kept buying creeping prices. All that and more.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

The expected value on a product has no bearing one whether or not I am physically able to opt in spending money on it. To any extant that it does, that’s where Wizards has to decide on what they want to sell it to us for and for how long. Expecially since it’s still a random booster product here

ScytheLizard @scythelizard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I see this as a huge win. I'll take maybe not getting the product for upwards of a year of two if it means I don't have to schedule a lunch break just to sit in a digitally scalped queue for an hour and 15 min just for the CHANCE to buy it.

Love that this secret lair (and the whole drop) is nothing but reprints. It's a shame fans won't be able to buy it because of the nonsense limited queue. Kinda impressive that this movie only released 1 year and 3 months ago when you think about their processes

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

One should always treat lists like these with a grain of salt (especially because of the creator and methodology of the survey responses), but I LOVE the discussion and the weight of cultural relevance vs subjectivity vs production I’m mostly alright with the Top 10 here

He says, “gonna go get some ice cream.” Panel 2: the guy peeks around a corner into another room in his apartment. In the room, there is a monkey with glowing eyes floating in a large, shimmering, blue tube and some unusual technology lining the walls. The guy asks, “you want anything, omniscient monkey in hypersleep?” Panel 3: answering his own question, the guy scoffs, “psh! Duh… banana flavor.”
