A desk cluttered with trading card boxes, playmats, and various sleeves.

The same desk as before, but removed of clutter. The window is open which makes the table seem cleaner as you can see light reflecting off it's otherwise dim surface

#FaBOsaka and then #FabPortland left my office looking a BIT cluttered, but turns out working from home for a week gives you some time to clean! Finally got things back under control just in time for a new set to drop in February, but until then I'm hoping to keep things tidy!

What was the best drink in space station? How much do you love the Irish FaB players?

And seriously - what was your favourite memory of #fabosaka ?

Do you have any questions for us?

Let us know down below 👇

This picture came from the #fabosaka keynotes speech. I was still Hella frazzled from all my travel and I look up to see this gem of a human beaming at me.

Meeting and spending time with @ehamontree.bsky.social in person was one of the highest of highlights for me at worlds <3

It's almost time!

Hey #FaBTCG crowd!

Earlier this week I shared a sneak peak of the analysis I made of the meta that went down at #FaBOsaka.

I've done analysis like these for a more private circle in the past, but I think you all deserve a chance at this information.

I present to you:

patreon.com/The_Golden_Ratio

Heading into worlds, I had so many doubts. Mainly about my space and where I belong in the fab community. I'm not a competitive player anymore. I'm happy with my peak results. But am I still a good representative of the game? Am I still able to hold myself up not just as a content creator or co founder of various communities but as a spokesperson of sorts. These were issues I never thought I'd have to deal with but it's also exactly those reasons why I should feel fortunate.

I've been blessed with some amazing memories and even more amazing people coming into my life. I think in short, this weekend has rejuvenated me. All the stress of preparing for worlds kinda left when I got there and I saw the people I do it for. I've re-fallen in love with the game, and while I'm sad to leave all my friends to return home, I'm more excited for the next time I can see you all again. Thank you.

To my friends. Thanks for #fabosaka

2 doubles deep ready to board my last flight home from #FABOsaka

Can't wait to see my people again in Prague and London

5.5 hours left on my flight to Abu Dhabi for my layover before I head home. I'm missing the #FABOsaka crew

at the airport waiting to go back home. you best believe i'm going to snag a couple more onigiris and famichiki for the plane.

fab peeps and osaka, i already miss you. till next time

Just want to share a cultural observation I loved at Worlds. #fabosaka #fabtcg

Japanese players start their matches saying, "Onegaishimasu". It basically means, "I request the favor of playing with you today"... 1/x

Reading about how much fun everyone had in #fabosaka has me so excited for London! Looking forward to partying with all you wonderful people (and also playing FaB I guess)

I've been struggling to put into words how much this weekend meant to me. i like to be as loud about the good as the bad in this community and Worlds was the shit. Good laughs, incredible games, excellent food, and drunken strolls through the city-- nothing's better than that #fabOsaka

I'm gonna miss you all. #FABOsaka you have been truly unforgettable

Finally packing up to end the #FABOsaka leg of this adventure, so here’s a 🧵 with some of my favorite stuff from the weekend!
-I’ve wanted the red mat ever since I saw it! Black Frog had plenty for sale!
-I won the chance to buy the Stir the Pot mat from Hiro Suda! They were so friendly 😭😭😭

Interview: Grzegorz Kowalski We caught up with the World Champion!

We caught up with World Champion Grzegorz Kowalski at #FABOsaka! 💪

Final night in Osaka = screaming for people to close the goddamn door at 2am #fabosaka

We did it! We got everyone's heroes in and the numbers are crunched.

Here's a sneak peak of how the meta played out at #FaBOsaka

Stay tuned for something more coming up this week!

#FaBTCG

What a wonderful thread about #fabosaka

It was so cool to watch your journey this past weekend. MASSIVE congrats to you @merkittens.bsky.social
Team Ascent really is the best FaB team no one thinks about… 😂

I haven't thought about writing anything in months but this trip... Osaka and @fabtcgofficial.bsky.social worlds just hit different.

I fucking love this game, it has genuinely changed my life for the better. Stream of consciousness blog coming TBD #FABOsaka

What a fuckin gorgeous city #FABOsaka
