🚨 Alright, update time. Pull up a chair. Or don’t. 🚨

🪪 The cards

Final card designs are officially with the printers. We’re waiting on proof prints, then we hit the big green “go make shiny things” button. Yes Derek, proofs are needed for quality control.

🐦 Early birds:
You caught your worms. Congrats.
Prices increase at midnight on Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
After that, the worms cost more. Inflation comes for us all.

🏦 The bank (aka the big one)
We are pushing hard for a January release.
We’re currently deep in testing, bug fixing, and the very glamorous process of clicking every button until something breaks.
Can we promise January?
No.
Are we trying like our sanity depends on it?
Absolutely.
Some things are out of our control. Most things are very much not — and those are the ones keeping us up at night.

🚀 What’s coming next
The next few weeks are going to be busy. Like “calendar crying” busy.
Multiple updates, upgrades, new versions, and additional platforms going live.
Yes, this includes CorePass bug fixes and improvements.
Yes, Derek helped by finding bugs in ways no QA engineer would ever dare attempt.

Short version:
Things are moving. Fast.
Long version:
Things are moving. Fast. Slightly unhinged.
