    A while back I gave all my MTG cards to a friend. Seeing stuff like this really makes me remember why I enjoyed it so much, but I really can’t shake all the non-setting stuff. It is too much. There is such a vibe to it when MTG is going strong.

    I get weak at the knees for some shapeshifters, myr, or undead cards with cool quotes (<3 Black Knight). I do miss my Hakkon deck that I built as a direct response to my friends unholy elven deck. Felt appropriate that I gave it to him. Look upon your defeat, scrub.

    EDIT: Now I am just having happy memory lane so hope it doesn’t bother anyone. I think I spent like $90 getting all the specific cards for that deck. For context I was young and that was a lot of money. My friend was well off but also very lazy and just went off what he could build from a ton of booster packs. To young me it felt like I overcame the oligarchy.










  • I just wanted to talk to people and less bots. I’m sort of becoming discouraged though. A lot of stuff here that interests me involves reading articles and it feels like most people just go off the headlines. Then there are certain subs that just feel so angry, like the gamer ones.

    I’m always toying with the idea of joining some forums but I never know which are still alive. If anyone knows solid game, book, or film ones please lmk.


  • They replaced the art later, but shouldn’t the bar be high like this? Otherwise, the caution won’t be there. It also could be abused, like games only getting adjusted post-launch if a certain measure of success hits. Plus the final product is not the only part of matters in the was-AI-used discussion, it is also about the process. If AI is the product of stolen human artwork being fed into a machine, and then that machine is used during creation, then AI has been used in the process that led to the final product no less than the concept art that may not be seen in game but was important in steering the ship.

    Maybe someone can share their thoughts though. I’m still formulating mine and this is where I am at the moment.
