One more bump. Does anybody even see my posts? I promise this is worth some of your lunch break.

Nothing like your partner being out of the house for an extended period for you to realize they just don't understand how to load a dishwasher. And don't come at me with "you just do it." This house doesn't run that way.

I've been chewing on this Hobbit set since spoilers began. Today gave me the rest of the context I needed to get my thoguhts down. It's a long one if you're interested you can find it here in my blog: www.patreon.com/TheGamerDads...

The Hobbit Has Me Wondering What Universes Beyond Sets Are For Now | TheGamerDads

I’ve been picking apart Magic: The Gathering — The Hobbit privately for most of preview season. Some of that has been positive. Some of it h

Re: Back to School Delays So let me get this straight. Hypothetically, Secret Lair moves away from print-to-demand to limited quantities because the product is already printed. You buy in April, they take your money, and give you a May ship date. Cool. Makes sense so far.

I know I've been light on content. Frankly, life takes precedent. But I am still gaming, still playing MTG and still creating. So I at least have a blog post for you all today. If you're on the fence and have never played AC Black Flag, check my review here: www.patreon.com/TheGamerDads...

So it has snuck out in Bob lore that I make cakes time to time. My wife’s birthday was yesterday and our 12 year wedding anniversary is tomorrow. She requested a cake. I give you Strawberry Lemonade cake. From scratch with homemade lemon curd topping.

I know we just got like so many spoilers and fun Magic things to talk about but like... Is this a good time to tell you that @steelcitybrad.bsky.social and I are on @edhrec.com? 👀 edhrec.com/articles/cre...

Thinking about the Marvel Survey WOTC put out today on it's UB products and more. I looked back on our old podcast with @jessehogie.com from 2 years ago and man did we call a lot. Give it a listen if you have time. Tell me what you think. Also I still have my Tom Bombadill deck! youtu.be/0FMH060MLHM

Yeah...I think this is getting opened soon.

Morning question for engagement. I have a sealed collector booster of Final Fantasy still sitting on my shelf. The "value" has stabilized and it's not really enough to move the needle recuperating what I spent on the set. Do I open it?

I think about this a lot. I wonder why I can barely keep my eyes open past 9:30 pm ET. Trying to collaborate with folks on the West Coast requires a time debt that I cannot consistently afford.

If it helps, having children makes it feel like we’re still very far away from anyone else even though we’re technically in the PNW!

Played Heartwood Storyteller in a Bracket 3 game tonight. Did not disappoint, honestly. Not advocating to jam it in every green deck, but it provided some fun and fuel for the table.

We serious? Vegas was $50 less. So we're just raising prices between events now?

Been in Raleigh for almost 11 years. This team. They did it. They finally got there. The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champions!

Just opened a box of Lorwyn Eclipsed that was sitting on my shelf with my 6-year-old. Something went wrong in the card sorting. 33 mythics in 30 packs. Mostly duplicates. And now we've set a precedent with my son that every box is an absolute banger and not mis collated.

25 more. I mean who isn't already following!? Get J Ro there!

Nearing 2K! For having completely restarted my following from Twitter/X, I'm damn proud of getting back to about half of what I had on there. I've said before that having a following feels like a superpower because I can use it to amplify voices that need it, and I stand by it. Thanks!

Need @wademinter.com advice. Thurs, wife made accidental blood sacrifice to gardening shears. Canes win. Told her she’s gotta suck it up tonight and repeat. Ya know, for the sake of the Hurricanes. Thoughts??

Hotel booked for Magic Con Atlanta in November. Who am I seeing there?

Bruins fan living in Raleigh. I have 3 words for the next 2 weeks. Let's. Go. Canes. It's been a hell of a ride. Go finish things.

Visited Pittsburgh for the first time this week. I'm officially changing my handle to SteelCityBob. Freakin loved it there. The people are something I've never experienced (even in a small sample size). Looking forward to going back.

Meeee too, me too.

Okay so @gamerdadbob.bsky.social said we have to play Edge of Eternities tonight, so that's what we're doing! WE'RE GOING TO SPACE!!! DON'T MISS IT! 10PM ET twitch.tv/SteelCityMTG

Magic Con Vegas has fed the fire to break my content hiatus. I have 3300 words for a video I'm recording soon. If you're into "The Gathering" part of Magic, this one is for you.

If you've been playing Magic since the days of Duelist and Inquest, if you've been playing RPGs since Dragon Warrior, and if you still think the best part of any game night is the people you're with and not the games you play — you've found the right place. Pull up a chair. linktr.ee/gamerdadbob

Real question, and not gatekeeping I promise cause I won't be replying. What year did you start playing Magic the Gathering? I'm looking to collect some demographics data. Please respond and share.

I get that airports are just packed with humans (and some dogs and cats) but they really gotta figure out how to cool these places better. I shouldn’t feel this warm in shorts and a t-shirt 🥵
