Magic & Melee #3

Blue Pants, Big Deals, and Blinging Brawls

In partnership with

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to Magic & Melee, your dose of chaotic good.

The Blue Pants Saga: Part Two

Remember that time I accidentally sparked an internet war over blue pants? Well, it seems the saga continues! A few days ago, a TikTok creator made a video about never noticing jeans as "blue pants," and it brought the whole thing back to life. I was tagged and forced to relive the drama.

For those who missed it, here's the story: A while back, I made a silly video about how we're all living in the blue pants multiverse. It was meant to be a lighthearted observation, but it somehow triggered a wave of... passionate responses. Let's just say some people took their denim very seriously.

I was accused of everything from being racist to gaslighting white people (still not sure how they made that connection, but okay). There was even a Discord channel dedicated to getting me removed from TikTok! It was wild, unhinged, and honestly, a bit overwhelming.

But you know what? The best thing to come out of that whole experience was the community that formed around me. I found my people – the ones who get my sense of humor, appreciate a good pair of blue pants, and aren't afraid to embrace a little chaos. So, to all my fellow blue pants enthusiasts, this one's for you! We may be living in the blue pants multiverse, but at least we're in it together.

Chaotic Good Corner: Humble Bundle Heroics

In case you missed it, I'm a HUGE fan of Humble Bundle. They've got amazing deals on games, and they support great causes in the process. It's like being a superhero, but instead of saving the world from villains, you're saving it from boredom (and supporting charities at the same time)!

Speaking of deals, they've got a pretty cool bundle on Destiny 2 right now! If you're a fan of epic space battles, loot explosions, and saving the universe (you know, typical chaotic good stuff), please check it out: humblebundleinc.sjv.io/xL2vxy

Now Playing: Rise of Elements and the Joys of Match-3 Mayhem

Looking for a new game to get hooked on? Check out Rise of Elements! It's like Bejeweled and Final Fantasy had a baby, and it's glorious. You can battle it out online with a character of your choice using match-3 gameplay. It's got that perfect blend of strategy and chaos that I love. Wishlist it on Steam and join their community for playtests!

Game Dev Diary: The Adventure Continues

Remember my game dev adventures? They're still going strong! I'm learning the ropes of Godot, and I'm slowly but surely bringing my vision to life. It's definitely a challenge (especially finding the time to actually work on it between everything else), but I'm loving the process. Stay tuned for more updates!
