RIP to Ron Spears, one of the all time great Magic artists. His work, equal parts otherworldly and evocative, was a huge part of what drew me to the game as a kid. He was one of the best artists in fantasy and it's heartbreaking to see him go.
Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!
Ok y'all it's going to be live as of this post! www.kickstarter.com/projects/831... @kickstarter.com #Photography #Nature #BetterDaysMTG

This has been running in my personal discord server for months now and we just hit 1000 wordle scorigamis 🎉
ben@benmakes.cool · 10mo agoOn discord, friends and I play Wordle a lot and my younger brother had the idea of tracking new wordle patterns, or wordle scorigamis. I made a bot for exactly that and wrote about how I did it. If that sounds cool, I made it free to access on my Patreon 🟩🟨⬛️ www.patreon.com/posts/142281...
the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans

engineering is awesome bc it breaks your brain. after enough time you’ll have realizations like “1 millimeter is actually huge” and “100 milliseconds is really slow”
I’m sorry to say this folks but we have to bring bullying back. We need to bully children off the internet. At this point I am not above it. Go put on a propeller hat little man. Ride a bike. Kick a ball.
I hear they're banning Rhystic Study. I feel sorry for him, I really liked his videos
seriously if you have a ring camera throw that shit in the trash. Think for two seconds about what this tech actually means.

I’ve been on the fence for months but I’m shutting the Patreon down at the end of February. Been struggling to put content out when I’d rather just bury my nose in my project. It’s been such a joy to run, and I’m proud of what I was able to do. Thanks yall :) www.patreon.com/posts/150232...
