Idealism's great, but it don't keep you in soybeef tacos. A Netrunner Tumblr since 2014. @scd elsewhere.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 9 years, since 26 Jan 2014 (via @twi_age).

I think I should try playing old FFG Netrunner again. My Midnight Sun cards are still in shrink, I ordered Parhelion but likely won’t unwrap those either. I need to find a less caustic Discord server and community than GLC’s. Maybe I start one? I miss the 2014-2017 community.

Farewell, Apocalypse. Nearly four years ago, I snagged one of the four or five giant wall-hangings at the final FFG Netrunner event. By the time I was able to get to the posters, I grabbed, I think, The Root, but the art from Apocalypse was... https://t.co/hqftoqGlyl

Gaming conventions are for irresponsible idiots. Don’t go to them.

“Project NISEI” was always a bad name. But making a change to it (and cards) right after people threw down hundreds of dollars on your new product is, like, such a laughably dumb, unforced error. And they don’t understand that. Guess that shouldn’t surprise me at this point!

📷 A long, long time ago, I had a regular feature on this blog called Sunday Morning Overthinking-It, where I spent too many words discussing the silly interaction of card theming and mechanics. This was pretty fun, and I wrote generally... https://t.co/OHPKSKuRl0

Sabotage seems like a cool new mechanic. Mark seems less so but I do appreciate potential swingy randomness coming back into the game.

[Soy Beef @soybeef]

I keep looking for new ways into this once great game but yeeeeeesh. I see no reason to attend NISEI events with these kinds of changes, especially when NISEI members suggest there may be *reprimands*/consequences/bannings? for using the original game term. It’s just so stupid.

“core damage” mega-lol

[Soy Beef @soybeef]

The resounding negative take on this well-intentioned but ludicrously misguided change gives me much more hope for the future of the community than any new card release. I mean, they had to lock a very polite thread on Reddit rather than let people express their dissatisfaction.

Rest in peace, my sweet little Leela.

I’d really like to play a casual game of Netrunner with someone again but I don’t really know how anymore.

I have had a sudden but controllable urge to play Netrunner again lately. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to fight this.
