CharlestheHammer posted:I think Pokémon has foils for the energy cards or whatever they are called. Creating a billion ever more valuable variations on cards is pretty much a straight win for players who don't want to bling out their decks, though. There's only so much value a set can have, so dumb rear end chase stuff like this makes the rest of the set cheaper. On the other hand all cards are just pieces of cardboard, they're all worthless, for in the end we are all dust.

I didn't want to know about the Godzilla lands. Unless they sell them as posters because a couple of those are pretty rad

Also there was apparently a set where they straight up slotted in original alpha/beta/unlimited/antiquities rares in place of the land card in booster packs rarely, including the Power Nine. Meaning you had a chance of finding a loving original Black Lotus or Mox in one of those boosters. Just, you know, a cool sixty grand card in a booster pack. That's a crazy but brilliant marketing idea, to put in old cards they had sitting around as a marketing maneuver. oh right, and now they have "collector booster packs" which instead of 3 bucks each and having mostly commons, some uncommons, and a rare, and maybe you'll get a foil, it's like half commons/uncommons and half rares and like 70% of the pack is foils with a higher chance of full art cards. and they're TWENTY BUCKS EACH. just moustache-twirling levels of grift. but drat, modern MTG is just inscrutable to me. anyways, fanart.

But, again, it helps the average player who just wants to play their children's card game. Does this count as fanart  It got pulled for....obvious reasons.

Man there is a surprisingly good amount of Disco Elysium art out there (given how distinctive the game's painterly aesthetic is). https://twitter.com/ryleisdead/status/1261424591408435203?s=19 https://twitter.com/100684897C/status/1256270345423773696?s=20 https://twitter.com/WennyZZL/status/1254424728707543041?s=19

I pulled one from a SUPERCHARGED booster that I accidentally self checked out as a regular booster pack. He's such a lovely card and only worth like $8 now despite being out of print All the Godzilla cards are cool looking though

WAOWWW https://twitter.com/PlagueOfGripes/status/1282719771079909376 Only took him about an hour to draw that, while holding a lengthy, multiple topic conversation the whole time, artists can be pretty amazing with their multitasking.

I'm kind of disappointed that the new Pokeymans game didn't bother trying to make Scottish Trainer a reality: Not really fanart, just some succinct descriptions of Pathfinder's world map updated for the Second Edition:  Some memes; the first is from a Skyrim TC called Enderal, the second is, well:   Finally, a really cute short story (at least, I thought it was cute):

 It always bothered me that her name is canonically spelled "Soo", and not "Sue".  Something else that bothered me, is that in looking for these two small, (sorry for the size), pictures, I also came across one of Soo in a bikini. Which nobody needs to see.
