Proxy-friendly formats are so cool. I wish printers were real.

Embarrassing to find out that aftermath cards haven't been working for a while. Turns out I had typo'd a switch statement haha. anyway, it works again now: playtestproxies.com

if there is one graphic I could get people who are trying to get folks to take any kinds of political action to look at, it's this one. if the goal is action, and you are cultivating feelings in the left hand column with your messaging, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Wild that they just don't produce magic sets anymore. Just boxes of cards that say "print off low-ink proxy sheets at playtestproxies.com to save on ink while playing magic casually among friends and enemies." And yet hasbro still makes billions a year selling them. The people are insatiable.

The upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set will have a serialized one of one Beast card signed by Kelsey "the Beast" Grammer from Frasier (1993-2004) Post Malone announced an $85 bounty for the card on IG and collectors believe it will possibly go up from there

my read: magic design is perpetually caught in a three-way tug of war between "ha ha, do you get it?" and "mechanically important for draft" and "we have to sell 5 commander decks every six weeks" to generate any novelty worth attention

Last week, workers at Magic The Gathering: Arena came together to form the United Wizards of the Coast-CWA union. We stand in solidarity with UWOTC and encourage everyone to sign their public petition calling for recognition by Hasbro. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl... Solidarity forever ✊

Tell Wizards of the Coast to Recognize Our Union!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social · 4mo ago

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

This is bold faced nazi shit

White House will prioritize the “neutralization” of groups it considers “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The updated version of PlaytestProxies is now up at playtestproxies.com! This is missing some features, but I'll be getting back to them as soon as I can. I'm busier than I was 5 years ago I'm afraid!

Looking to publish the new version of PlaytestProxies later today, it just survived the "can it render Vintage Cube" test. Styled to look like the current website again too, so there will be very little difference. I just need to finish a couple more quality-of-life adjustments.

Okay girlies this is actually getting there. Give me a bit more time.

Finding out just now that the rate limit policy for scryfall has changed since 2021 😅 Sorry @scryfall.com! didn't mean to hammer your /named?fuzzy endpoint

This codebase truly was written in a haze in the middle of 2021.

I'll try to patch in support for the new prepared spells frame as soon as I can. I have a half-baked rewrite because of broken dependencies from a while back, but I may just need to fix them! Software.

I am rewriting the codebase with Modern Technologies as we speak so this is the advanced warning to sketch your messages about how you're mad at me. I hope you like megabytes of wasm. this isn't a joke I really just want to escape javascript.

It's easier than ever to learn. Go read "what is to be done." Listen to "revolutions" podcast. Go to a union meeting and look lonely for a bit. Join a local communist party. Start a local communist party. Think about the economic system of your local environment and how it can be changed.

Liberals in the imperial core always - wrongly - spout shit about how inaccessible theory is, insisting that revolutionaries should lower their sights; then go & spend $100 on treats from anti-union, AI-first, genocide supporting mega corps because they won't read an instagram infographic.

Typesetters, what a concept.

All I'm saying is I'd respect the Spider Man magic set a lot more if it was focused entirely, exclusively on Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

One thing you may have noticed about PlaytestProxies recently is I've not been updating the default display card to match new sets. In the background, some dependencies broke and I've been forced into a larger rewrite than I'd have liked.

anyone feeling hungry? #mtgproxy

magic the gathering is truly what you make of it, and I make of it "proxying made even more accessible so that people at home aren't losing £40 to ink cartridges over a single proxied modern deck" #magicthegathering #mtg
