I won’t be in Vegas this year :(

After a chat with @wheeler.bsky.social this weekend the cube now has a 180 card expansion that will bring it up to 720 cards, and a higher power level if desired.

I’m still working on the original 540, but here’s what I was able to find at home for the expansion.

I am very aware and am now considering buying a Switch 2 and this damn game :P

I love that after close to 60 hours at the Moonbase over the course of the past 5 days, I'm taking today to mostly rest up and chill, and my brain is like "hey... why aren't you doing something... you should do something".

Stupid brain.

I love this cube so much I’m not even done building the 540 version and I’m already requesting Wheeler make it so I have to buy 180 MORE cards.

Anyways. Go watch Wheeler, give him $5.

Hasbro's CEO lets AI Peppa Pig help design toys | Decoder YouTube video by Decoder with Nilay Patel

I’m a big fan of the work the @theverge.com does, as well as @reckless.bsky.social podcast Decoder.

So as someone who works with Wizards of the Coast a whole bunch, I am deeply curious to dig into this conversation with Hasbro’s CEO Chris Cocks. youtu.be/8nVAGwdQ-P0

That was an incredibly successful, long, and friend filled 5 days.

And that's a WRAP on Camp Cardboard 2!

After 5 very full days we're walking away with 37 individual videos that you'll see over the coming months at @spikefeeders.com, @edhijinks.com, @glhfmagic.bsky.social, and of course on the LRRMTG YouTube channel.

So make sure your subbed to everyone!

… you have doomed me. Now I have to go out and buy this game and a whole ass Switch 2!!

Please let me know where I can send my invoice for reimbursement :P

In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad | Pew Research Center Across 25 countries, Americans are the most likely to see the morality and ethics of people in their country as somewhat or very bad.

You can dig more into the research here.

www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...

Americans view each other as morally bad, poll says. Canada is the opposite - National | Globalnews.ca While 47 per cent of Americans said their fellow citizens are morally good — the lowest score of any country — 92 per cent of Canadians had a positive moral view of each other.

Both these numbers surprised me.

The US number is depressing as hell.

The Canada number is much higher than I expect. But I certainly won’t complain about it.

Boy, I sure would have loved an invite to BIG ROCK :P
Have a great weekend with those lovely humans.

It's my go to, just beware there are a LOT of pickles on that thing.

Today was one of those rare days that was extremely long, super busy, occasionally frustrating, but ultimately incredibly rewarding. Excited for what we made today.

I’ll miss Brian.

I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out, and if you don’t know what I’m talking about just Google “McDonalds CEO”, but I’m not convinced McDonalds didn’t know exactly what they were doing with that video.

If your short form video starts with a 3 second clip that I’m about to see again in 12-15 seconds, I hate you.

I will give it a thumbs down, I will click not interested. Stop that shit.

God. Kingdom Come is so good.

One hell of a day for video games eh?
Pokopia, Marathon, Slay the Spire 2.
Hope everyone has fun with their new games.
Which one is your top pick?

Honestly, if it wasn’t for Camp Cardboard I’d be in.

I love extractions shooters. I've played a LOT of Escape from Tarkov. Dabbled in all the others.

It's a tricky genre to get into for sure. And with games like Arc and Marathon developers are targeting a broader audience who I just don't think will meld well with the game play.

The journey continues!

Didn’t have a ton of time, but swung by Yellow Jacket today and spent some time grabbing the following cards.

Gotta go back soon to really dig through the commons and uncommon boxes.

Congrats. You’re an extraction shooter pro.

I'm hilarious.

They kinda nailed it with this Scrubs revival.

Jeeze, fine. You can have next Thursday off.

Also, I'm not THAT cowardly thank you very much.

That'll be the final step I think. Support the local shops as best I can, then I'll do a big (ideally, final) order from CK. And I'll be sure to get in touch when I do. Thanks :D

I have gone through the rest of cards I have in my possession.

Pulled these from the remnants of my very old pauper cube, and the random collection I have in a 2 column long box. Brings the total number of cards I already owned to 105.

Not too shabby. Onwards to Yellow Jacket :)

My ideal yearly release schedule (minus Secret Lairs, and accepting UB is here to stay) is 5 large standard sets, 1-2 of which can be UB. Then 1 set of 4 UB Commander Precons. This does not preclude the 5 standard sets also having precons.

Yup. You win, and you were the first to comment.

4 internet cool points to you!
