The Fae: so we’re going to take you away from here and— Me: I accept! The Fae: and you won’t remember anything and you will not return for a century— Me: I ACCEPT HARDER

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

You make a video saying that Homarids are in danger of type-errata unless they gain a unique mechanical identity. Specifically you prescribe caring about Tide counters. 2 years later Mystery Booster Commander prints Rikala Homarid King, a legend which cares about Tide counters! It's a lobster...

Spice in its video Saving Magic's Endangered Creature Types. It's standing beside a custom card depicting:

Homarid Bastard [1UU]
Creature - Homarid Warrior
At the beginning of your end step add or remove a tide counter from Homarid Bastard.
So long as Homarid Bastard has 1 or fewer tide counters on it, it has hexproof and doesn't untap during your untap step. Otherwise you mill 2 cards for each tide counter on Homarid Bastard. (There should be an trigger on your untap step or something for that last ability)A picture shared by mtg_tarzan of:
Rikala, Homarid King [1GU]
Legendary Creature - Lobster Noble
At the begining of your upkeep, put a tide counter on Rikala. Then if there are four or more tide counters on Rikala, remove them.
Creatures you control get +1/+0 for each tide counter on Rikala.
Whenever you tap an island for mana, if there are three or more tide counters on Rikala, add an additional U.

The whole AI mess has been a massive W for Team Lifelong Struggle With Self Loathing and our inherent distrust of anything that shows us kindness, it’s a shame we aren’t worthy of it!

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

INTO THE DROWNING DEEP by Mira Grant is only $2 in US eBook format today! That's less than half the cost of a cup of decent coffee for hours and hours of meticulous marine biology research leading you to the horrors of the deep!

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
