Wasn't terribly enamoured with my bundle pulls for #lotr but oh well - some will at least make for good additions to my jumpstart commander cube! #mtg #magicthegathering

2024 Gaming Backing: 5 - Fallout 3 (PC)

Been racing through a replay in time for the MTGxFallout release! It's had its criticisms over the years (many very fair) but I still like it - some railroady quests and roleplaying don't reduce the Capital Wasteland that much for me!

Crikey, lots of new followers has made me realise just how underused my Mastodon is 😬 time to chuck some mtg shitposts out on here, talk rubbish about commander and get writing some more of my magic fics!

God, board wipes make me check out so hard from any game of commander. 2 in one rotation, no move after to win - what a fucking ache.

Games beaten 2023, # 31 Tekken 3 (PS1)

Simply fantastic. Slightly baffles me that this is a PS1 title; it's miles ahead of either of its prequels in every conceivable respect. Exceptional fighting game, and definitely a great last entry before the jump to the next gen

Look, I like the #Marvel x #MTG thing as much as the next person, but you know what Universe Beyond I really want, more than any other?

Discworld

Please just give me Discworld Magic, WotC :blobcat_cute:

Cropped out the user of this post. I think it's important to remember that this sort of shit might not be outright transphobia, but it sure is a vehicle for its acceptance. You gave money to Britain's most famous transphobe and now you want to share footage and a review, thus giving them more reach. Thats not allyship, and you don't get to say you're not transphobic.

Also, fuck your childhood fantasy if it comes at the expense of trans people. Standard cis binning us at the 1st chance.

2024 game backlog, no. 16 - Tekken 5 (PS2)

One of the PS2's greatest fighters. Hefty, robust gameplay, with a massive roster and a fun story. Bonus Devil Within game is a load of toss though, and the final boss is the franchise's cheatiest yet.

New review! 284 - Her Majesty's SPIFFING

It's an adventure game, inspired by Brexit and Monkey Island. What could possibly go right? As it turns out... very little.

Had some fun this afternoon brewing up a funky Devoid list. We're running Morophon naming Eldrazi as the commander, and the gimmick is that we only have colourless lands and everything is Devoid!

There's not much in the way of Annihilator - we're actually trying to combo off with Displacer instead and then sink either infinite ETBs or mana into some of the OGW Eldrazi to give us a win.

2024 gaming backlog, no. 17 - Soul Blade (PS1)

A surprisingly technical fighter - I expected the first in the Soul Calibur series to be a bit jankier! Slower combat than I like and dodgy voices, but an impressive set of modes and a really fun core combat system!
