This is gonna be the second MTG event in a row where I've expanded my stock and setup to the point where I'll need to make $2k to break even, but maybe NEXT time I can make a profit?? or maybe showing up to a commander event with ~40 new tokens will actually be a good investment
Trying to figure out how much extra money I wanna spend on rushing this print order by x number of days because it’s shipping from the US and who knows how that’ll go and I need it by the 20th, I think this is literally just gambling
If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com
Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

I don’t use the reading list feature on my iPad but at some point, somehow, a png of Tangela ended up saved to it and every time I notice I just go “ yeah I’m okay with that” and leave it
Doing a bunch of animal tokens in this sketchy style, have I missed anything that folks might want? (I have other plans for spider, insect, snake, and otter)
Aw man they changed the trending box to have actual descriptive summaries instead of ominous disconnected words, I enjoyed its uncomfortable We Didn’t Start The Fire vibe
"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."
Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
*SPOILERS for The Stormlight Archive* Was very lucky to collaborate with Dragonsteel to create several illustrations for the recently revealed Story Deck, specifically Jasnah's story. This is the first one out of six -- more to come later! AD: Anna Earley Prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/erio...
