@DavePalet The Yankees were pay to win back then, now it’s the Dodgers. They’re receiving similar amounts of hatred.
Yes, they may have all the best players in baseball, and that may make them the best team. If they didn’t have the money, would that still be the case?
I’m not the target audience for the game anymore. I don’t know if I really ever was.
I just get melancholy about MtG every once in a while. It’s a hobby I enjoyed for over 20 years, and now it feels completely alien to me.
I haven’t played Magic in about a year now, for many reasons, not the least of which is the direction it’s going in, per MaRo’s comment about enjoying UB or just walking away.
It’s a me issue, I know it is. Especially nowadays, if you’re a naysayer about anything related to a hobby, you’re immediately dogged on as a grumpy curmudgeonly gatekeeper. So I won’t say WotC has let me down, because I’m just some random old fuck now.
Is it not exhausting to be so constantly annoying for so long? Or are people like this so well practiced at said behavior that it’s second nature to them?
The actual “birthright” belongs to my children, and the children of all real Americans. They have a birthright to live in a country that resembles the one our ancestors established. And now that birthright, the only true birthright, has been destroyed in favor of the imagined “birthright” of children born to parents who don’t even belong in this country and who have no ancestral or cultural ties to it whatsoever. Total madness. Suicide. Words cannot describe how evil this is.
I have no earthly idea why LARP is suddenly the new term for people. We used poser for decades and it worked perfectly fine, conveys exactly what you want to say about someone!
