  • Streaming some Kaladesh Remastered draft! Watch me be terrible https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgkld

    As predicted; I was indeed terrible. Draft seemed to go well enough, but I made too many mistakes I guess? Seems like this format is not for me.

  • I’ve been binging Perfect Strangers. Fun show (and maybe best theme song), but 80% of the eps are like “Balki says/does something naive, Larry overreacts and gets them into trouble, but it all works out in the end”

  • Kaladesh Remastered draft really doesn’t like me; I thought this deck was pretty good, but it was yet another 0-3. D: At least I didn’t waste gems this time. #mtg #magicarena #mtgkld

  • Streaming some more Kaladesh Remastered draft (ep 2) https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgkld

    Unfortunately, internet was too poor again tonight for streaming :(

    Ok, I went ahead and did two drafts which was a terrible idea because I did very poorly both times. (Didn’t bother getting a screenshot of the second result, they were the same!) Sigh, this format is tough. Hopefully I figure it out by next time.

    Okay I’m going to try to explain this, so bear with me. On Tiktok, an entire community has come together to create Ratatouille the Musical. What seemed like a joke has become an incredible undertaking. Or not? Here’s how it started, with a call:

  • Kaladesh Remastered draft ep 1 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgkld

    Sadly, internet wasn’t too good so I just cut the stream short. Too bad, so sad

    Draft didn’t feel super good, but I managed to break even in the games. No video because no stream. (In hindsight I could have just recorded locally!) Maybe I’ll try streaming a draft again early next week.

    @amirrajan i dont have much other gamedev experience other than playing with unity a bit, but: I like that I can do most of the work in my text editor, and I like that it simplifies a lot of the work by making assumptions (like the 1280x720 resolution etc) so I can just focus on what I want

  • Decided to try a Kaladesh Remastered sealed before diving into draft. Didn’t do particularly well, but at least I got a feel of what the Kaladesh limited format is like (again) #mtg #magicarena #mtgkld

    This is genuinely the funniest piece of media I’ve ever seen in my life and should absolutely be what is shown to explain the 2020 election for generations to come
