Going to go see @monetxchange

She looks great though!

Stress level is high.

[Jeff Hoogland @JeffHoogland]

Right in the feels.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@JeffHoogland I just finished building my first complete deck using one of your videos!

Been living the Pocket content. Hope you have a lot of success with it so you don't have to Snap all the time.

The #WorldSeries trophy is home.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

Someone's making it home for the holiday! #Dodgers #Parade #WorldSeries

@GrandpaKersh We don't get Edman or Kopech if not for him.

He absolutely deserves his ring.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@JesseRogersESPN I hope he never steps foot in any stadium ever again.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Yankees continue to avoid permanently banning the two assholes who literally held a player down and wrenched the ball out of his hands.

What a disgrace.

The tickets used last night by the two ejected fans (plus others in that section) have been re-distributed to a pediatric cancer patient and his family, the Yankees said.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

These girls are absolutely losing their mind here, haha.

If you can watch this entire @LastWeekTonight piece on Project 2025 and still tell this election doesn't matter / they are both the same - please just fuck off.

@PavelKolev7 Is there any way to just setup a standalone webcam tournament system? Don't even associate it with Lorcana, keep it generic to allow people to have play with whatever.

@IamActuallyLvL1 "Play fetch, crack, shock, Thoughtsieze?"

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man This is probably my last response, cause we've clearly reached an impasse.

I agree, no one 'deserves' anything, including the player who ends up in 9th on breakers just because they played all their matches and others ID'd.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man That's an entirely different argument to the one we're having.

We're discussing IDs in a tournament setting, not cheating or preferential treatment.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man Never have I stated that people deserve a T8 for IDing.

By your own logic this whole discussion is null because the ones who weren't able to ID into their T8 got their reward at the end of their tournament.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man The person who won champs has only played for a month. Is that fair?
The person who beat me in the finals had a bye in their first round. Is that fair?
The person who beat me and pushed me out of T8 had no chance to get into T8 themselves. Is that fair?

Do you see the issue?

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man I'm not! PEOPLE ALWAYS GET EDGED OUT. Even with no IDs, there are draws, byes, drops, etc. Is a player who was granted a bye cause his opponent didn't show up less deserving than someone who played against an opponent each round if they have the same record?

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man Yes, because luck is an element in the game as well. Sometimes you get an easy matchup, sometimes you draw the card you need to win, and sometimes you win against tough opponents and have better metrics than others.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man In my 10+ years playing competitive TCGs I know firsthand that feelbads happen, but talking about people 'deserving' something over others in a situation where no one cheated and no one was given preferential treatment rubs me the wrong way.

[WheeMcGee @wheemcgee]

@Rooster5man The two bottom players were friends.

At the end of the day, there are going to be people who don't make the cut and miss out on prizing. That's how the tournament structure works. You play to the best of your ability and hope to make the cut. At times you do, sometimes you don't
