So I don't use Ex or Reddit meaning that this is my best choice for offering my two cents on commander to @gavinverhey.bsky.social (which I hope works). I'd like a system that's as... flexible as possible for players to sculpt it to their group while allowing big events to have a stable baseline.
One thing I haven't seen any of the Commander folks that are anti-bans answer is why they're so angry. What part of the bans is a betrayal worthy of the vitriol I've seen even OUTSIDE the ones sending threats. Plenty of reasons why they disagree with the bans, none to explain the anger.
It kinda sucks when a channel you've followed for forever gives you the ick because its hosts decide to have the worst fucking takes possible. Like- you still do it, if you have scruples. But it still sucks.
I hope that WotC taking over Commander doesn't fuck everything up, but given that they were given control over doxing and death threats it's safe to assume. - We will never know who is making the choices for Commander ever again. - The choices will benefit pushing power over all other things.
ABBOT: oh my god Diddy got arrested! COSTELLO: did he? ABBOT: I just said that, Diddy got arrested COSTELLO: did who get arrested?? ABBOT: Diddy! COSTELLO: what are you askin me for? did he what? ABBOT: im not askin, i’m tellin you Diddy got arrested COSTELLO: i’m asking, what did he do
@seananmcguire.bsky.social 's new What If Wanda and Peter were siblings has rewritten my memories so that the idea of Peter Parker as an only child is a strange weird AU I want nothing to do with. (It's also heartbreaking because- she left in all the 'Peter's life sucks' but he gets to share them?)
Somehow one chapter into this Magic arc @seananmcguire.bsky.social has got me shipping Niko and Tyvar. Which- isn't actually that impressive, I ship things real easy. But I was expecting it to be Zimone and someone (probably the Wanderer or Niko).
