It’s kinda wild to me that the entire “2-drop cycle” has been outclassed in modern. Not even Ravager sees play anymore. #mtg

Merlin’s Arcade is pretty fun! I like the mode stacking, and it has really good sound design. Like REALLY good. #pinball

[Finally we have eschewed tournament nerves for pinball. Now we just gotta get better at the game lololol]

Big fan of pinball layouts that have built-in ski passes and dead bounces. That’s something I think Elwin does really well. #pinball

Why do the 3 characters I’m interested in in 2xko all gotta cost champion tokens.

New stupid fantheory: Deltarune is based off Closure in Moscow’s first LP, First Temple

Now that Riptide is done, we’re gonna be focusing most (like 90%) of our competitive time on pinball tournaments. Next rivals tournament we travel out for will probably be Frosty’s.

Desperately fighting the urge to walk down to the hotel lobby and see if the ice cream stand is still open and also still selling ice cream.

Get to the waterpark, spend 30 seconds in wave pool, immediately get a low blood sugar. This must be punishment for the shnice Elli combos I was doing (I went 0-2)

I swear to god I have this cipher filled in but the instructions are very vague. This clock is gonna make me explode

I’m pretty sure that if I found a SINGLE new clue I would, in fact, know what to do

Uruha and Natsuki’s whole vibe together is yet another thing in Kagurabachi that feels like it was written by an American manga author.

Blue Prince is almost getting to the point where I need to take another 2 or 3-month break. I’m running out of leads and hunches.

The year is 2045. Stern announced a new Star Wars pin designed by Jack Danger. It comes with a service kit for the plunging lane. Rumors say the next one will be pokemon. Wheel of Fortune is still unfinished.

Ok but like did we need another Star Wars pin

Oops I accidentally found something really big in Blue Prince off stream (I was recording) so now I can’t play it until tomorrow.

[Day 1 of the new John Wick code and I got a score of like 120M without really trying. I don’t know if it’s getting better but it sure is getting!]

Finally, after so much time, I have started on e.

My one pinball dream is to have a tournament bank of Stern Kong, Congo, and Amazon Hunt

Was super nervous about wearing my like binder top to the waterpark yesterday but everything seemed to go fine.

Labyrinths are like the Apes of the maze world

I’m already getting some heavy tetris effect from Tactical Nexus. Though part of that might be the low-sleep delirium

So I tried out Tactical Nexus after multiple people I follow posting about it. I get it now. I see a deep abyss into which I shall cast many hours of my future.

Playing 4x Consult the Star Charts and 4x Stock Up reminds me of playing control on Khans Standard where you could run playsets of Cruise and Dig Through Time.

Ok Blue Prince actually rules I take back everything bad I said about its puzzles

We’ve been trying to route out the Pinball FX Williams questlines, but all of them are more or less variations on “get a certain score as fast as possible.” This in turn means even though you play each table 5 or so times, the route is the same each time

!> Galvin looks cool. I for one cannot wait for the next character to come out, we try the game again for a week, and then Marisa drops rivals 2 again leaving me to play the entirety of bracket myself. <!

I attempt You are the Miserable’s highest difficulty in Wacca like once every 3 months and I still haven’t figured out a method to do the red and blue arrows on the top half of the screen

I definitely expected Ado to perform a cover at the show, but I didn’t expect her to perform a cover of, of all things, Chandelier by Sia. (For what it’s worth, the cover was really well done and she hit the notes SUPER well.)

[Mod of TOTAN that doesn’t change anything except the lightning spins music is replaced by Christina Aguilera Genie in a Bottle]

Edge of Eternities limited is so complex. It seems like no matter what deck I draft there are a ton of lines of play and small tricks and interactions. Artifact removal is hyper-maindeckable and every color has annoying combat tricks. But I kinda love it? #mtg

Tried using my CGM again and in the 2 nights it was on it tried to kill me twice! Great work, great experience.

Station, yet again, reminds me of this #mtg

Night 1 of having the CGM on again after like a 6-month break, and I have a persistent low that lasts like 30 minutes followed by a high of “over 400.” Really just great timing.

Jiji and Evil Eye working together and peacefully switching is so good, love that for them

I spent like 30 minutes making a pretty good head sprite in the undertale memories thing, on my phone no less. Then I realized I made a typo, went back to fix it, and found that the aforementioned sprite wasn’t saved. Dejected, I then spent 10 minutes kinda half-assing a replacement sprite.

I get that Perfect Sakura Fantastica isn’t a complete remake of Touhou 7, but I am a little disappointed that the prismriver sisters were replaced by Goddamn Lily White. I like Ran’s cool headband though

reminded of one of the greatest pieces of quantitative research ever to be undertaken – @ryannorth.ca's 2009 analysis of the number of letters U people use to spell "excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess" full deets: qwantz.livejournal.com/112122.html

Pretty cool that the Cards are up 8-0 over Walgreens

The incredible burden of having a coupon for free spinach dip that’s only good tonight but not having anyone to split the spinach dip with.

Got a new phone only to find that the insulin calculator I was using for the past like 7 years wasn’t transferred over because it’s no longer on the App Store. The only one I’ve been able to find that actually calculates insulin (and not just “tracks blood sugar”) doesn’t include active insulin/IOB.

[women’s Pinball tournament today with Herb format and then a monthly strikes pinball tournament on Sunday. Normally we’d go to another pinball arcade on Saturday but uhh idk if our legs can hold up]

This episode is finally coming out! Tomorrow! Wow!

!> Rivals 2 Absa is okay. I will have to play her more than just one night. At the moment I feel my play style is more apt for the frog but I want to stick with the goat. <!

!> I am about to go to the rivals 2 local and play Absa with 0 Absa experience. I did play some Absa in rivals 1, but I have found that such time really does not mean much when it comes to their sequel iterations. <!

A bit bout our plurality and pinball: Karia and I have different Stern accounts so we can separate our scores and achievements. But we also try not to play the same table somewhere to avoid both of us being in the leaderboard. The exception is D&D, as we have to have separate save files.

[Ok, new John Wick code feels MUCH better. Everything being quicker to start means you’re not chiseling away at bad shots for five minutes at the start of each game, and the enemy change means completing a mode is feasible. I don’t think they needed to make car easier to start though.]

[Wow, not only did Stern add a whole bunch of stuff to UXM but they also pretty much entirely changed the rules for John Wick. The changes to enemies are ESPECIALLY huge.]

Was really enjoying Date Everything until I got to the end of Connie’s whole videogame thing. Really thought it was going a plural route and then the game just kinda said “lol Nope she hates you now :))))”
