Sorry if this is not the right place to pitch this. Feel free to take it down.

This Halloween, Friday Oct 31st, is the release date for the new Riftbound game by Riot Games. My interest in the game is from a place of loving card games. I've been a huge card game fan since I played pokemon as a kid. I played alot of Hearthstone in college and after. Then in the last few years I've played Magic the Gathering Commander. Riftbound mechanically seems like a very solid game and I'm super excited about it.

If people would like a place to discuss the game, strategy, post relevant news articles, deck ideas, etc let me know. I think a dedicated community would a great way to achieve that.

If you want to see an example, take a look at the lorcana community I moderate on lemmy.world.

I could make the community or someone else could. But if I make the community, all I ask is for at least one other person to help moderate it. Single moderator communities can run into issues if that one moderator makes a mistake. So to avoid that single point of failure I would like to work with people to make such a community function smoothly. edit: typo

Also a community doesn't have to be the go to solution. We could post Riftbound memes in 196. Thanks for reading this and I'm excited to hear what people have to say. <3

Reddit’s conversational AI product, Reddit Answers, suggested users who are interested in pain management try heroin and kratom, showing yet another extreme example of dangerous advice provided by a chatbot, even one that’s trained on Reddit’s highly coveted trove of user-generated data.

However, a man was poisoned in 2025, after a suggestion of ChatGPT to replace sodium chloride in his diet with sodium bromide; sodium bromide is a safe replacement only for non-nutritional purposes, i.e., cleaning.[3][4][5]

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Budapest in defiance of the Hungarian government’s ban on Pride, heeding a call by the city’s mayor to “come calmly and boldly to stand together for freedom, dignity and equal rights”.

Slow King Schumer says, "I'm so aroused."

Slow King Schumer says, "No."

[Alt-Text] Batman, an animated bat, and Robin, a robin, are in a room with an infinity gears machine. The Riddler is behind a locked door on an intercom.

Riddle me this Batman! The door to my room will only open if the last gear fully rotates, but you can only turn the first gear! How long will you be standing there? HAHAHAHA!

Holy sociological metaphor Batman! If you tired to fully turn the last gear by only incrementally turning the first gear, you would be standing there for 346 quintillion years! The Earth's orbit will decay before we catch the Riddler at this rate!

Batman picks up the infinity gears and then flips it over. This opens the locked door and reveals a surprised Riddler, who is a Tommy gun.
