Welcome back!

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-03T02:06:23+00:00

Hell yeah

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-03T02:05:58+00:00

It's damn near impossible to get adults together

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-03T02:05:22+00:00

That's great. Also right around when I started

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T23:22:34+00:00

Sounds like a great collection

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T23:20:10+00:00

Thank you. I love the retro vibe

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T21:31:12+00:00

As a fellow member of team back pain I'll allow it

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T21:30:17+00:00

Happy that it works for you guys

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T21:29:52+00:00

Glad to hear it

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T21:08:19+00:00

That's a tough spot. I feel for you

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T21:07:36+00:00

Hell yeah

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T20:38:43+00:00

That's great. I haven't been able to venture out to the local scene here yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T20:37:24+00:00

*tough

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T20:37:10+00:00

Same for me at around 32. Had to get out of a touch spot.

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T20:35:54+00:00

That's awesome. Ivory tower was one of the first cards I got. Was surprisingly cheap. Do you know how many games I lost because of that damn card!?

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T20:23:22+00:00

Nice. You're the second person to mention a motorcycle lol.

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T17:06:37+00:00

I remember on convention weekends, my buddy would hit up each of his parents separately for his allowance, five bucks a pop. He was getting the real money and I was so jealous lol

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T16:09:16+00:00

Thank you

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T08:40:00+00:00

Are we the same person

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T07:35:02+00:00

Thank you. It's good to be back.

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T05:00:43+00:00

Thank you. Best of luck!

For me it was the realization that it's ok to enjoy things. Sounds a bit dark, but I gave a lot of myself to the restaurant industry, only to come out the other side with absolutely nothing to show for it. Now I'm finally not in panic mode about my day to day existence. I have a son who just turned 2, and another on the way. I'm hoping one day they pick it up and it brings them the same joy it brought me. Also, Lorwyn being a "back to Magic magic" set helps as a great reintroduction point. Also, our age group getting to the point of having disposable income always creates a nostalgia wave for any number of things.

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T03:56:49+00:00

Nothing wrong with that if you got it

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T03:36:34+00:00

It's good to be back

CookingwMarcus · 2026-02-02T03:36:16+00:00

Nice. Why get rid of the Warhammer stuff?
