George Lucas being pro AI isn’t surprising at all when you remember that he was the poster child for sloppily filling his films with digital effects because of his dislike of the on set practical filmmaking experience and replacing the hard work of those who came before to suit his vision

my new idea for time zones. whenever you wake up, that's 9 am. and whenever you go to sleep that's 9 pm. time is no longer a fixed point. you can follow the sun or you can follow your heart. the choice is yours

TCGs are not an investment and should not be seen as such. Games are meant to be played. If all you're out here doing is arguing that TCG A is worse than TCG B because of a value proposition on cardboard, you are not a gamer. You're a grifter. Get out.
