Nice. Definitely down to work on the .zip logo again. We were pretty prominent last time, though if Mastodon gets involved, this year will be totally different

Wow one whole year huh. I appreciate having an excellent admin like you. Excited to see where Lemmy and .zip are in another year.

Thanks for sharing these links. I'm another off-instance lurker who has learned a lot by browsing Hexbear posts. The comments here reinforce that y'all are being strategic with your federation choices, which is cool to see.

Nice write up! Dwarves are cool. Rock and stone to the bone! Were you inspired by the Minotaur set review person?

I know the band but never heard about the soccer team. That's really interesting stuff - also I'd guess Kaizer is another form of Caesar making the full name practically nonsense.

Sweet, thanks for the update, Rick!

Thanks for crossposting, @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip. 36k active is more than I would have guessed but most people are probably on the low end for comments/posts. But I am happy that 4 months later Lemmy has proven active enough to stand on its own, at least for me. It sounds like .zip is stable on donations for now but I will likely contribute again in the future. Keep up the good work!

I feel like this card is absolutely nuts but I think this is just where we are for creature power creep. Over half the time, this is a non-legendary one mana 2/2 with counter synergies that basically surveils 1. The other option is a 1 mana creature that draws a land card. Those would both be insane if printed straight up.

The downside is you do not get to choose. ETB draw a card creatures usually only get played in blink decks or with other synergies (spirited companion in enchantments) and 1 mana 2/2s only get played in stompy or aggro decks. I think you try this in stompy with [[Tribute to the World Tree]]

Very very good for limited. At first I thought it was common and was scared - I'm having a hard time telling the rarity from the set symbol with this one and have to reference the footer a lot.

How many "count cards in gy" mechanics do we have now? Threshold, Delirium, Descend, that's at least three

I really like this film, I think it's underrated. But yeah the style makes it hard to follow on the first watch.

From this article, it sounds like Threads won't have ActivityPub federation enabled from the start. While I don't want my entire feed dominated by brands and celebrities on Threads, I'm not convinced we should jump immediately to defederation. One of the reasons why I joined on this instance was the low defederation count. I'd lean more toward "wait and see" for now.
