Getting into Pathfinder with the family. Play with the Microfreek synth from time to time but mostly screw with the 7 string. Trying to get a grip on music theory. Weight training and locksport. Retrogaming on analogue pocket(pixel concentration is crazy). Knife collecting and a couple manga interests along with readin’ books. Also enjoy checking out graffiti and street art. Sticker bombing!

Got too old for Skateboards, bummer. I handle birds of prey, and teach others how to do so. I also play the ukulele in our husband and wife band “Punch Your Neighbor.” Really into music- had a radio show in the past (need to revisit that), and have restored several old cats and Vespa’s. No motor projects currently, but I feel one coming on soon.

Thats where I was at. Played twin, that got banned. Played RG eldrazi during eldrazi winter, that got neutered. Then played my pet deck of lantern control until mox opal got banned. Stopped playing regularly after that, slightly kept up and played pauper on mtgo, but all the crossovers have left it feeling like its lost identity, which killed my interest. I still try to draft once each set on mtgo, but it isnt the same. I dont even recognize modern these days

I am really happy for the people who have found a love of the game through the crossovers, i understand the appeal, I just associate them with the decline of my favorite format at this point

Apparently splinter twin was recently unbanned, but even as a brand new player who was directly brought in by Avatar, all this crossover stuff is kinda wack. Magics original IP is really cool, and the UB stuff isn’t gonna bring long term players I think, and the fact that all this is permanently changing the game and its image (toothpaste out of the tube type deal) I’m hesitant to get into it any further, as who know what’s next. Why would I invest into something that I’m not going to like because Hasbro wants more money for shareholders, players be forsaken

The enpoopefication is real. You can always just build and buy from older rotations. That’s what I did, much more fun, though you can’t play in tournaments (not that I care. I like smelling, thanks)

Yeah nah I’m good on tournament play, just casual wizard poker with the boys

If I’m gonna do any hobby competitively, I think I’d chose YoYo

(The thought of competitive watch building is intriguing tho hahahah)

Anyone like vintage staplers?

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/7/ac7270a14e657b648b6449983426b04371e2bbc2.jpeg)  
I was cleaning out my Grand-dad’s old toolbox and found a few old staplers. I immediately remembered that staplers were my first and original favorite figit. I used to love getting fussed at for wasting people’s staples. Noting the quality and extreme overbuild of these old guys, I have to wonder at those who felt like I was going to “break” their stapler by stapling with it… 😳🤯

If a thing breaks doing the thing it’s made to do, either it wasn’t made well, or it was well made. In the end it did it’s job

EDIT: if people get made at you for using the thing the way it was meant to be used, I would just suggest therapy, because clearly they’ve got issues

We are going back to the first 10 years of life here, and I’m talking teachers… my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles… I think it was as much about the waste as anything. 🤣🤣

this isn’t what you asked, but it’s stapler related…these things were MAD fun and when i was young i would take the ones from my parent’s desks and pretend they were mouth monsters for my ghostbusters to bust 🤪

I’d consider myself more of a pencil sharpener person. This sharpener is in the studio of late Kansas City artists Thomas Hart Benton. There were several more in various rooms of his house. I should have taken photos of the others when I toured his house back in November.

Growing up we had a pencil sharpener installed at the bottom of basement stairs and I can remember for fun sharpening pencils down to stubs when I was a kid. I always disliked using a handheld or electric sharpener. There’s just something about using a hand crank sharpener.

That is a real beauty. If only there were an easy fix for the electroplating. Does that use standard staples?
