I think this is actually kind of an obvious point that dice commando brings up. In any other card game, if they printed a bunch of cards clearly meant to combo with a certain card, and then didn't reprint THE card (or a sidegrade), we would cry foul. But in #fabtcg ... youtu.be/Lbrp-GC9_PY?...

I've been spending a week just trying to... Make a list of all the creative projects I've finished. This isn't bragging. Adhd makes this nearly impossible. I'm making this post instead of finishing the list!

More closed species stuff. The beeg lion thing is a cool npc! #art #oc #cs #ocsky

Raniero Mancinelli, 86, has been a tailor for about 70 years. He made the robes that welcomed the Pope today. You can read about him in the National Catholic Reporter (check the links in the IG handles below). IG sistersreport and ncronline

A new multiplayer Victor too? That is pretty choice. I just hope this #fabtcg product is actually engaging enough that I'll get to play with some of these.

I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars! Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

Spent the last hour telling the SO about how me and a bud designed 'fantasy twitterland' as a fantasy setting today. Yeah it is as terrifying as it sounds, but it might still make a good adventure setting.

Unlikely Florian manages to LL this season too but... is it impossible? Hmmm... #fabtcg

I just read 'Didn't Earn It' by K.W. Onley in @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social #32, and wow does it feel like a story appropriate to 2025 despite being printed last year. The monster that is 'anti-dei' racists, acting up where they can cause the most damage. A great short story.

I finally finished my copy of The Message by Ta-nehisi Coates and I'm still processing everything I read but... Yeah you can see exactly why the media was freaking out on him, they were scared. As he lays out halfway in, letting people read the facts of a matter goes against some political plans...

Oh no, Cody has to explain Gamergate. No! Some More News, get outta there! It doesn't need to be this way! youtu.be/dwdAEkJks8A?...

I opened a Shock Charmers and was going to trade it when flexor prices dipped a little bit... #fabtcg folks... Am I cooked now?

Did I see that Jarl won one of the #fabtcg PQs over the weekend? Welp...

I feel like half the posts on the #fabtcg subreddit are some flavor of 'how do I build Jarl?' Poor unfortunate souls. Hope your wallet is nice and deep for your new hobby.

Just saw Sinners, we had a blast! I'm glad the movie took the time to ground itself in the setting, because that was the strength of it. Amazing acting.

Good luck to all Canadians trying to get a Switch 2 today. I am going to... Trust the process.

Four cards to get to know me This was actually really hard to do! I had to do a lot of remembering Netrunner to think of a card from there. (maybe I should have just used a yugioh card) #fabtcg

It is kind of wild the gulf between card price issues in #fabtcg and say, Yugioh. If I built the kind of mess around yugioh deck I would build (I wont), a top 8 viable list is 50$ usd. I can't get my hero's shield for $50 in fab. LSS needs to reprint more, goodness.

Been playing Blue Prince over the last couple of days and it really is an amazing game. But more than that, it is a fun game to talk to another person about. Discussing your progress with another person playing is hilarious, because you discover all your theories are wrong, but so are theirs!

I've been playing for months and still had to give this a watch, great #fabtcg video. Though it made me wonder... how many current CC Heroes could reasonably be categorized as Control, and not Set Up? Jarl, Victor, Arakni Huntsman according to the video... I feel like every wizard is Set-up.

If all goes well, we are going to go see MSI! Hopefully 100T or C9 are still in by the time I get to go. Or maybe I can see Faker.

AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!

might be a little early for this #fabtcg

I may be too stupid for Blue Prince, but I'm loving it regardless. I've taken LocalThunk's advice and I have my notebook to take notes. But the bigger puzzles in the house still confound me.

I love black people so much.

I didn't expect Luther to get a music video, but I'm glad it did. www.youtube.com/shorts/IYNWn...
