"Should we really be letting kids wander the world with pokémon unsupervised?" "Look at this graph." "What's this?" "The number of times some random kids have saved everyone from disaster." "Uh-huh... Mm-hm... Okay, this checks out. Here's your fire lizard, Timmy. Get going."

In the Final Fantasy magic set is that there are equipment with job select, which creates a token the equipment auto-attaches to, the tradeoff being high equip costs otherwise. I was so confused before I saw the rules text for job select. "What is this trash equipment for trash?" #MagicTheGathering

I'm never entirely sure how "oh snap" others will find new pages, but I'm pretty sure the new immortal rules will be an "oh snap" #egscomics

I'm doing uncharacteristically well in #MagicTheGathering limited in the latest set. I attribute this to a combination of Aerith and birds. One Aerith shouldn't matter THAT much, but I also drafted the white mage staff and two lands that gain life ETB. Odds be darned, that won two games in a row.

Most people who are the real deal are just doing whatever someone who's the real deal does. People boasting about how "real deal" they are while putting others down are more likely trying to sell you something (even if that "something" is just how totally real they are).

I think real manly men are just out there doing manly things, not complaining on social media about less manly men doing less manly things. Of course, my pointing this out is EXTREMELY manly, but this is clearly an exception.

Someone experienced at balancing on one leg can comically lean into a room far better than those who aren't. YES, this is an important skill!

Whoops I tripped over backwards and somehow thought of a long term character arc for someone that is a natural result of the consequences of plot nonsense #egscomics

Me for 99% of the first episode of I Parry Everything: "Oh my god I love this" Me after realizing it's an unaware overpowered protagonist story: "oh no"

"This isn't canon!" "It happened in the anime. It's definitely canon there." "NO!" (I get where people are coming from when they say things aren't canon in manga-based anime, particularly in series in which filler is ignored later, but I think that's less and less relevant to the discussion now.)

For whatever reason, I'm so prone to mentioning "the muffin man" that there's no way I can keep up with all the references I make to it.

Oh no. I watched a video about a very angry Flat Earther arguing with ChatGPT (and the AI responding like a very patient Vulcan), and now YT thinks I want all the flat earth debunking videos. DANG IT, YOUTUBE! I'VE ALREADY SEEN THESE!

I've set my default interactions to limited (people who follow me, people I follow, and no quote posts). I'll try to remember to make it so everyone can do all the things if it's an EGS post, as I don't think people should have to follow me to reply to those, but most of my posts aren't those.

It feels weird to be checking labels to make sure I'm getting ENOUGH sodium instead of too much, but I guess that can happen when you're eating more whole foods and oatmeal 😅 (Though dinner is still the wild card. Looking at you, Buffalo Wings.)

I'm going to try kale on a hamburger and you can't stop me.

I'm starting to think my feeling tired after my walk yesterday was a sodium thing due to a combination of sweating and currently having a (quite by accident) low sodium diet. Some dinner options offset that, but during the day? Very low.

I like the "hide post for me" option. I don't follow a lot of people, so if there's something I'd rather not see in my timeline, it could be there a while. I don't want to just mute people because there's one post that, for whatever reason, I don't want to keep seeing.

Your Stealth skill has decreased - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder... What, you thought skills could only increase? That might normally be the case, but your stealth was simply that bad. #egscomics #hiveworks #webcomics

Immortals in EGS are a bit like diet fae. They're not nearly as dangerous as many fae of myth, but some of the same general cautions one might take still apply.

Is it sedentary if you're sitting, but also rapidly moving your legs for a half hour or more? Asking for a friend.

(Throws hands up in the air) I'm just going to track what calories I can, and make adjustments based on how I feel. and what progress does and doesn't seem to be happening with weight, appearance, and clothing fit ☝️🧐 (Fidgeting alone makes "activity level" difficult to really know with confidence.)

"This story is a work of fiction, yadda yadda yadda" That disclaimer is excessive. Just right "BRO, IT'S NOT REAL!"
