I wish my IT team would tell me when they are pushing updates. I spent all morning trying to solve why the security system can’t connect.

Over an hour after the drop started. There is no line and everything is still in stock. Nothing is even low stock. If you are going to pre-print, this is what I like to see. Good job WoTC.

I am still very annoyed there is not "Sort by upload date" on youtube search anymore.

The fight is also at home now. My parents are actively arguing with my uncle who is trying to justify what is happening in Minnesota. They let him slide for long enough. We can't sit in echo chambers agreeing with each other.

The winter weather storm has no name despite the Weather Channel deciding to try to market its winter storm names. They keep trying and we keep ignoring them.

Player brought to me this citation from scryfall which is not in current gatherer. Is this accurate when necromancy is concerned? @wotcmatt.bsky.social and @wotcjess.bsky.social

I am just going to avoid the MTG subreddit for the next 6 weeks until TMNT season is actually starting.

Is the MTG comprehensive rules link failing for anyone else, or is it just me?

Passed the Riftbound online judge test. I have some notes on the questions.

A store employee “doesn’t want to bother me” and tries to use google AI to ask “what happens when you clone Deceit?” He eventually just asks and I give him the answer. And later I see the search on the computer screen. AI wasn’t even close.

I never worked at a restaurant so I may not know, but I think I can still be annoyed if you asked me to split a party when I made a reservation.

Corporate performance reviews have nothing on Magic Judge reviews. If I submitted this corporate review to evaluated by Magic judges they would reprimand me for not being critical enough and lacking actionable feedback.

I am convinced that Garen is the Worf of League of Legends animations. He is endlessly bullied to make others look stronger. He even gets bullied by random caster minions.

I have a feeling I need to put Firespout/Fling + Reverberate back into the Judge box because of the new Lorwyn evoke elemental incarnations.

I was asking for photos of my shelving. I don’t understand health insurance contractors but sure, get your kink on.

Pulled out the tarot cards when cleaning. Forgot that you have to purposely invert the cards while shuffling. Asking about my love prospects in 2026 and pulled inverted knight of swords. Good to know I’m staying single. 😂

Am I really runnning 35 lands in a commander deck is 9 are MDFCs?

I’m weirded by the fact that WoTC is sponsoring the LRR Preprerelease while hosting a draft night on their own twitch channel.

I was looking for more mono white removal and completely missed this Exorcise.

I did not expect a explictly timed event in blue prince. I was not prepared. Definitely failed it this time. Maybe next time.

Hit credits on blue prince. There are so many more things that I have no clue what to do. I hit credits and thus I gave myself permission to look at some hints. I do not know how I was supposed to know to do this next step. I admit I’m not good at lateral puzzles.

I have hit a room in blue prince that I have no idea what to do. This puzzle is either far to vague or just far too complicated for my brain…and I can’t tell which.

My aunt showed me this post. This is not a gumbo. This is a food crime.

I don't know how blue prince does this, but I thought I was at a complete dead end...and then I got just the right piece to go...oh...I need to go back and check some stuff.

I'll be in on the LRR judge account. I am very thankful WoTC is continuing the series and hope that that we get more guests on. MTG content creation can feel really siloed. The PPR was a great way for me to learn about different content creators.

It's AGDQ and after looking at my pile of speedrun t-shirts that I should probably downsize...I just saw one that I really want.

I think I offended Blue Prince with that last message about a slowly unfolding, because the things have sped up so much. I can't process all of this.

KK Robot Synth is a banger.

I am really enjoying the slow unfold of Blue Prince. I am never been a good note taker and I have been avoiding anyone playing this game so far.

Today feels like a Monday.

For me 2026 is going to be about starting with a new habits. 3 step facial skin care in the evening. And a 3 step in the morning. I put a serum on my face for the first time.

In case you were wondering, the onions are the base for this vegetable tian. It’s not ratatouille / confit byaldi because those have a tomato sauce under instead of a bed of caramelized onions.

Caramelizing onions. Don’t ask me anything. Need to stir.

Magic Con Chicago where @shivambhatt.bsky.social and I were roaming around and a friend of his invited him to be the 8th on a draft. Shivam couldn't and he graciously offered it to me. It wasn't until some said "I'm Grump" "I'm not so Grump" did I realize who was in this pod.

When your budget brew really wants a $120 creature from P3K…

Staring at them right now. I have too many T-shirts. I need to downsize.

I think TikTok has just given up on me. It’s just showing me things I’ve seen before.

I just at email asking if I was the Magic judge that worked at Walmart pharmacy in rural Indiana 10 years ago. I don’t think anyone else other than me even remotely matches that description.

I am seething angry at American Airlines. You delay my flight 5 hours. Fine. I arrive early from the delayed time just to be sure. I checked my phone. No changes. At 8:09 I get the text the flight gets bumped to depart at 8:20. I rush to the terminal. They ready left by the time I arrive.

5 hour Christmas flight delay.

I’ll be spending time with my brother in laws family who does Christmas bread and oranges. I am glad I heard about other Christmas traditions from the internet because this would have been completely lost on me.

My carry on is just nothing but gifts. Everything else is in my personal item. youtu.be/oiSf083QM_U?...

My aunt made homemade ramen for the first time. It was great.

I think I might just swap a board wipe for insurrection. These commander players with no board wipes need to relearn a bit of fear.

I continue to go through TikTok comments to answer MTG rules questions. Had to correct a few videos now too.

I had to explain that this probably isn’t AI. Someone messed up their layers.

Swam a mile for the first time in 3 months. Getting back into the habit is rough. (Don’t ask me about my time. It wasn’t good)

Meet the new Judge Program Manager for Magic: The Gathering, Samma Harr! @sammamagic.bsky.social

I have not touched E33 DLC, but the more videos I see of it...the less I want to touch it. It looks like it's made for people who thought the game was way too easy and I am not in the camp.

Part of me wanted the opening E33 song to give spoilers about the Game Awards in French. (I don’t know French)
