I just installed AFK Journey, and after I get done with this post and finish recording the podcast for the Clurb PA patrons I'm gonna jump in. I kept seeing it at PAX East - their booth stood sentinel in a central area between tabletop and digital, and so I was always passing it. It looks incredibly beautiful. Beautiful and dangerous!!! Young Mork discussed it a bit, but it's hard not to feel that the art has been trapped somehow in this game. I have friends who derive a lot of enjoyment from this genre, and clearly millions and people (and dollars) exist as my opposite here. It's a mode of play I don't actively seek. I get that it can fill in for more dedicated pursuits. I understand that part. It just sorta feels like a sandwich made from condiments. You know? I feel like there's something I'm not getting.
There's also this:

Hey! So, we did a collab with Marvel Snap back in the day, there's still a few of Mike's cards that aren't in, but his Captain America hit along with the bundle of PAX 20th Anniversary goodies that Ryan put together with a few different places. Ordinarily, the show is where you get your mitts on such tender codes. But! In a potent FOMO busting ritual, we're gonna stream the new season tomorrow from 12-3pm PST and give away a few codes. We'll also have special guests to chat with about Snap. It's gonna be pretty fun, I think. It's gonna be me, Ryan, and Dabe, as a baseline, and the both of them are crazypants hardcore, so I'll be here mostly to "marvel" at appealing 3D cards and say "whoaaaa" but I can't wait to get there. Come hang out!
(CW)TB out.
