I think Seasons was designed originally to be an easier remake of the original NES Zelda until project scope changed, and Ages was designed to be a more advanced challenge for players who beat Link's Awakening

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

wow it’s almost like laws are what the state enforces and if something isn’t enforced it’s basically irrelevant

I feel like I'd have a lot of fun playing brute but every time I look at brute cards I get put into a state of shock and disbelief that art so like blatantly racist is being made for a game this big, not surprised guardian isn't safe either

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas GonzΓ‘lez in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

I do think they over promised and under delivered with the decks though. As much as I believe they did their best in testing, that testing was strictly internal and likely twelve months ago and the format releasing 3 months early gave the general public WAY more useful information

SAGE was supposed to become a format with the release of PEN, its whole purpose as a set to my understanding was to establish a baseline power level with modern design intentions

God At War With the Mystics is also so goooood The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song is an all time banger but nothing makes me feel more humbled by the innate beauty of the world like Sleeping on the Roof and Feeling Yourself Disintegrate

Oh you mean the lifting animation ones? Pretty sure it's meant to emphasize the strain of lifting the object and giving whatever sprite he's trying to lift a slight shadow. My biggest issue with these sprites has always been the lack of shading on his arms and hair where everything alse has shading.

The different shades of green is weird but in the blue/red mail the hat is yellow/purple respectively so it seems intentional. Also what five o clock shadow i can't see it 😭

Custom Robo also does this for the climax but you need to decline like 100 times

Proud to announce that Wizards listened and finally hired the fans (me) to make a card for them #MagicTheGathering #MTGAmbassador #CompletelyRealNotAJoke

map of chicago population by race, showing extreme segregation with Black and Latino people largely in clusters on the South and West Sides and White people clustered along the central-northern lakefront, with only a few diverse/mixed-race areas in between

Closeup of neighborhoods on the West and Southwest side showing extremely stark racial clusters, some continuing for miles, of Black vs Latino vs Asian vs White vs small mixed-race housing areas

Most ppl know that Chicago (home of modern urban segregation) is a very segregated place but I don't think most outside Chicago (+many Chicagoans!) understand how the *distances* involved and *depth* of segregation mean most white ppl have ZERO visibility into many Black and Latine neighborhoods
