I could be bribed to be a 'spy' for magic the gathering cards fr fr... Just inundate them with misinfo and continue to ask for more money to buy more and more expensive cards, while at the same time radicalizing the pod of players I'm playing with because they keep losing to my legacy power level commander deck... I've only got vibes of leftism from lurking on cth since 2018 and living as a wage slave so I'd fit in doubly so since I've yet to actually read theory... Because deep down I'm a lib... I need to finish state and revolution at least...
!!! Yes you absolutely do. The ending is the best part where he's like "Fuck guys I have so much more to right about this but I gotta go kill a monarch brb"
I think I've only gotten like 10 pages in before my eyes glaze over and I lose my spot because I'm reading it as a PDF. The part about the state merely being a thing that legitimizes itself instead of something external that grants it legitimacy has stuck out to me, much in the same vein that a police department internally investigates itself and finds no wrongdoing... Like.. No shit dude. It's called a conflict of interest.
Bookmarked for later, this'll make it a little easier for sure. Feel like my popper abuse was a contributing factor, making it hard to focus and generally making my head fuzzy, so I'll give it another go with reading because I want to ensure I understand what's said and re read to make sure. But if I keep putting it off I'll definitely give it a listen. Thank you!
Wdym, sloppily incorporating other intellectual property is very hard work, much harder than fleshing out their own intellectual property. /$
Fr tho it feels like ready player one right now and imo is pretty gauche in execution. That plus the current story from what I've briefly come across online or through whatever cards were left behind at the last lgs I was at seems lazy. Like war of the spark 2.0 and a rehash of a rehash. It is what it is. Bought proxies though, gonna start printing some as well once I've got all the money I need saved up. Once I start printing probably hand a few out to anyone who gets salty I use proxies because they were duped into spending thousands on cheap cardboard... I'll use it as a teachable moment.
Yeah, I'm starting to use more and more proxies. Though I was totally down with them to begin with, it's my group I'm working on. My bro-inlaw got me into magic a couple years ago, so we bond over buying boxes and cracking packs. But I've at least convinced him we should stop pre-ordering and wait for box prices to drop. Our LGS had the Markov Manor playbooster box selling for even more than what we were paying for set booster box. Just wild. I think that was the last straw for him. Except for Fallout, of course. 🤪 I bought some blank cards a while back and one of these days wanna try doing a thermal transfer on them.🤞
I'm afraid I've not actually done like DIY yet. My sister is one of those craft people who has like a crickit and a thermal press thing, so I'm reasonably sure it's possible with some blank cards I've bought and her sublimation printer(video), but I've not gotten the chance to test it yet.
I've also considered doing this: which is using a tool/website to put together a bunch of cards and then send it to a printer, but again haven't done it.

I have ordered some cards from this place, and they're not horrible, but the resolution wasn't quite as good as I was expecting.

For the most part, I still just take the tokens for doublesided cards and just write my card on the damn thing.

Oh boy do I have what you need.

One of the hosts is basically a stand-in for folks like you (and me not long ago) so you will love this.

Thank you so much, I've been hoping for something like this for a while.
Eh, the FBI doesn't really have anything to worry about from mtg groups. If Hasbro's endless money grabs aren't getting players rioting, nothing will.

War of the spark was just them cashing in on avengers
Yeah, but isn't that what they've done again with new new phyrexia?
I still don’t understand that one, that plus the whole world tree thing that makes planeswalkers even less special.
