It sounds like you're very angry about Magic the Gathering. You should take that up with the Wizards of the Coast. I've never seen the appeal myself.

No I'm upset with folks that think fun, innocent things would be better with we injected them with market forces

So Magic: the Gathering, then. Suffers from its market forces injection. Clearly.

This is really cool. Sorry to change the topic a bit, but I have been thinking about adapting something like this for a screen that you can place on your desk or work bench to use it as a physical "away message" so that people know where you are when you are not at your desk (i.e. @lunch, @meeting, @microscope, etc..) Ideally, it would connect to wifi so that you can update it remotely.

I make this eink smart screen: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... If you build a small website that shows your status message, you could then point the smart screen to it and it will display your away message.

This is really cool. A little bit overkill for my needs, but would definitely solve the problem.

I mean, sure? Pointing at magic as also bad does not shield you from criticism.
