It's my birthday today! I've been part of some custom card design communities for a while now, so in lieu of birthday trivia, I'd like to ask: if you could give any one piece of advice to amateur MTG designers who are making cards for the fun of it, what do you feel would be the most helpful?

Thank you so much! As a piece of semi-local trivia, EOE has been the most popular we've seen draft as a format at my LGS, and we're completely sold out. Players are loving this set immensely.

I think it helps to start making sets because the most relevant design skill, if you ever hope to get hired, is the ability to design to constraints. It’s a lot of what we do in design.

Happy Birthday!

I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying Edge of Eternities.

my biggest mistake with the smash bros series icon ranking video was respecting the audience too much. I should not have assumed everyone watching the video would already understand that opinions by nature of being opinions are inherently biased and subjective without me going out of my way to explicitly say for every single one "this is a subjective opinion I personally hold based on my own limited perspective on the source material. I am morally obligated to acknowledge the fact that you are likely to disagree with this opinion"

complimented a cashier on her turtle pin this morning and she said "oh thanks, I am a little bit of a Turtle Person" with the carefully contained energy of Cookie Monster telling you he's mildly fond of chocolate chips

I hope she and the multiple tons of turtle merch she definitely has at home are having a wonderful day

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

I also don't like bananas, and my father absolutely despises cucumbers and things that taste like it, such as watermelon rind

Hey Mark! I just read your FAQ and heard you don’t like bananas. As someone who also hates them and who everyone around makes jokes about it, I just wanted to say I feel for you. Also, I’m loving all of the EOE spoilers so far, it looks like a ton of fun! Not really any question here, but just really wanted to say a few words.

I always welcome fellow banana haters. : )

Glad you’re enjoying Edge of Eternities.

the way AI turned out is tragic because in theory i wouldn't mind a limited digital assistant or two in certain places. like some system that curates my social notifs for me. your 4-year-old post about clam chowder is banging my lord. they're tagging your personal vents with that middle-aged man from disco elysium again my lord

Zombies shouldn't growl or snarl, they should babble a mixture of incomplete word sounds and whole words or sentence fragments. Every zombie should sound almost but not quite like it's trying to tell you something.

This is a major gripe I have with the northern, eastbound station of Ziegelteich in Kiel, which is built on too narrow of a sidewalk, and the only "seating" available are the windowsills of the shop displays.

It should be illegal to have a bus stop without a bench I am 1000% serious rn
