the english dub landscape, while much better these days, is still inferior to Japanese VA + subs because of lack of diversity western voice-acting is extremely clique-y, and the farther away from that we are, the better it gets
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥
calling yourself or someone else a "USian" is proof you are too online
dude, what the fuck even is a "spoiler" any more is "beginning on tattooine" a star wars spoiler?
mana ability change is huge crazy (and deserved) nerf to selvala
All of the most major failings of Magic Story and the popularity of MTG: Lore, can be attributed to Hasbro and WOTC leadership. We don't have more casual folks caring about Magic Story, or the Universes Within stuff, because of a Hasbro/WOTC failure to popularize the IP.
unironically, pretty happy that most of the exclusive designs in Mystery Booster Commander seem to be "cute, but pretty middling" much more fine with that for cards that will be tough for people to get
I love that masamune shirow is an unrepentantly horny, deeply offline, recluse kinda legendary behavior for a major founding cyberpunk author/artist
OK KO premiered 9 years ago?! Today, the show is not available to stream legally but is being kept alive by a devoted fanbase who I hear from all the time. You guys are the best. Thank you for watching the show!
I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.
friendly reminder that Newsom is basically a republican, just better at dressing up his miserable beliefs
dipshit nice sneak peak of the sort of media policies you can expect under his presidency
always interesting seeing people go their seperate ways in the Magic The Gathering Content Creator space. it sure as hell ain't my business, but I am Nosy
The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...
AOC Must Run For President
History is calling. Sorry!

if you want to "protest" Magic The Gathering but while still engaging with it as a hobby, here are the best methods: 1. Cube 2. Pauper 3. Proxy everything
it's very strange to me the degree to which New York City is no longer The cultural center of the US that it once was
Outside of the occasional article from the lovely @rascal.news (subscribe to them!) there really isn't much journalism or reporting on MTG or card games being done in general obv the market for supporting writing or journos is Rough rn, but it's tragic there's so many skeletons to be dug up
I see the CIA program that created grimes by sending boxxy to Juliard is still running
If this website were even 1/1000th the woke antifa mob I was promised we'd be having a months-long, Odyssey-level crashout about Olivia Rodrigo dating a random private equity guy.
playing Disney music off Spotify to ruin a nearby awful influencer's public filming is such a smart move
Hello everyone! Many of you likely saw this image recently with the Apple TV+ 'Neuromancer' promotion. Some know, others don't, but this artwork is mine, created alongside actor & post-production artist Milton Menezes, as a personal project and a homage to the original Neuromancer romance

the original sin of MTG started long before Universe Beyond, if anything. Magic: The Gathering is inherently reliant upon consumption and gambling hell, ante was a thing
dude, the newest Dungeons & Drsgons movie is wildly overrated. I'm not a hater for many movies, but that is certainly near the top of the list.
This is circulating again a bit. hooks gets in trouble for her spicy takes, but there WAS no spicier take in 2004 than “Harry Potter sucks and is bad for children’s literacy,” and she was exactly right.
I feel like the epitome of Good Feminist Criticism was probably bell hooks nailing J.K. Rowling to the wall in 2004
