I will fully admit, I am possibly just salty about Jennika and the shafting of the one girl turtle and the lone LGBTQ rep.

The art team hit it out of the park, but the design and theming teamsโฆ I wonโt say they phoned it in, but they were definitely not on their โA gameโ in my opinion. The set is objectively going to impact formats, but something is, once again in my opinion, for sure missing.
And I get that they were going to focus as much as they could on the widest set of shared lore that most folks are going to know. But it felt like they over focused.
I know that folks will trash it because itโs Universes Beyond. Or they will blame this on there being โtoo many setsโ. But given the hit that was Avatarโฆ thatโs just not it. The set could have been good given the same level of care and thought that Avatar got.
I canโt help but feel that if it had been a full set, it wouldnโt feel so lacking. Like how did we not get at least 1 station card around their time in space? And donโt get me started on the tragedy that is Jennikaโs singular card in the set.
So likeโฆ I love TMNT and grew up on it as one of my favorite properties. It getting a MTG set has been bittersweet. The art has been great; there are cards that just seem spot on, and itโs obvious care and appreciation was put into themโฆ but overall? The set just feelsโฆ flat?
See?! See?!
love you too ๐
The idea of finally being able to play Pokรฉmon with the right gender character and be able to do so alongside a partner who not only isnโt forbidding it isโฆ.
I have the best bf. ๐ฅฐ
was not expecting to be able to put scrandle expert down as a skill

I have a new boyfriend. He hasnโt learned to play magic. As a trans woman my mission is clear ๐ซก
i agree with prof & Jesse; commander needs more T4T
1000%
I AM SCREAMING LMAO
๐๐โค๏ธ Iโve got a boyfriend?! And Iโm in love him?! What is this world coming to?! โค๏ธ๐๐
Ok not gonna lieโฆ kinda want this real bad. But also, now I am going to have to go rewatch โClueโ.
The only possible way to properly treat the Tim Curry classic Clue is to do it with Muppets.
Still got a lot of things to deal with, but at least now when someone asks what I do, I can say mtg AND shitty poetry. :3
Between the emotions that sparked it and the actual creation, it was cathartic to say the least. The weight of things changed and I actually felt like a missing puzzle piece was found.
So recent events plus the creative shows I went to kind of sparked things for me again. I was never good at it (and honestly pretty terrible) but I cracked open a notebook and actually wrote some poetry for the first time since college.
I had nothing left for me at the end of day. I have nothing to show for all of that. Not even an acknowledgement or a thanks from them for the years of sacrifice that made their dream a reality.
Sure, I kind of have the excuse that for about a decade I cut up my available energy. A large chunk went to the stress from an intense job; another to the pressure to support a relationship and someone elseโs dream and business. I poured everything else I had into that person, their dream, and more.
Got me thinking and reflecting some. Realized there was this part of me that I had just put away and ignored and for so, so long.
About 1.5 weeks ago, went to a poetry slam, then later that week went to an open mic. Few days later a new friend was asking me what kind of hobbies/creative things I do. Didnโt have an answer beyond mtg, made me realize itโs been a really long time since I actually did โthingsโ Like over a decade
So happy I got out of the big companies where all they want you to do is make AI shit.
Now Iโm just stuck being asked to โuse AI to speed your dev time upโ. ๐ฅด
Reasons I know my job is secure: when the largest tech companies with โthe best devsโ are putting out this crapโฆ
