skirmish s12 - blitz recap! #fabtcg playing: bravo, flattering showman🕺💪 R1 L😫 - lexi - blocked with civic T1 which allowed for 9? card hand R2 W💪 - dori qp - local's last game, the dominates were too good R3 W💪 - mirror - og coming back into the game, was an interesting mirror but had better hands

drafted nimblism puffin yesterday and she is bonkers. if the deck has enough nimblism, nimby, jack be x, and 0 cost attacks and nimblism equips you can easily get 15+ damage popoff turns going #fabtcg

tomorrow is the first day of my phd😯

holy I almost forgot how much fun commander can be when everyone doesn't take everything too seriously and you just play the funniest play

last day at my job of almost 5 years today.. feels weird and getting lowkey nostalgic

... I need beach episode Victor

really really looking forward to the pro tour coverage this weekend! #fabtcg

as a sidenote, I hope mid-range guardian will make a comeback (cast homes victor is already there somewhat) because it's my absolute favorite archetype #fabtcg

commoner armory recap from yesterday played bravo R1 webby ( @dille-tcg.bsky.social W - just put the cards in the graveyard bro R2 fang L - should've had it but I greeded to much R3 dash W - just a good match up and had some good turns discard pummel bravo is an absolute blast to play

next learning goal is going to be learning bicycle maintenance/revision/repair :) think its a great skill to learn in general. my goal is to eventually also learn basic car maintenance as well, but we'll see

went 1-2 on cindra but I did get a 16 dmg turn off which was pretty pretty epic

haven't been active here since there hasn't been a lot happening lately, but armory hunted draft tonight! (I am super unprepared so if you have any spicy tips do send them) #fabtcg

baking is fun, should do more baking

chain reaction makes riptide super fun #fabtcg

does pokemon gen 6-9 remakes exist with the old 2d style? would be sick, ngl

handed in my 1 month notice today to switch to the phd position. feels weird that it's finally happening, but I'm very excited to start :)

fascinating how IDE experience can be the difference between loving programming and being productive, and getting constantly frustrated and being unproductive

decided to drop all other twitter-likes for the most part, in favor of bluesky

honestly, I wouldn't even bother with windows 11 as linux gaming supposedly is already pretty good, but it's those anti-cheat games that don't support linux that got me lol

when I'm building a new pc, or possibly when windows 10 comes to end of service, I might switch to dualbooting, with as much as possible on linux, and gaming/tools on a separate windows drive. no way I'm maindriving windows 11

working with visual studio for a week has convinced me to never voluntarily touch visual studio again. code with vim extension/neovim is the way

really enjoying reading research papers as of late. there's so much interesting stuff coming out, and I can't wait to dive deep into what's ahead :)

I'm very torn on where I want to post and what I want to post. right now I'm posting whatever here, but I feel like that leaves my feed to be too much all over the place.. I want to post tcg stuff as well as tech/ai stuff as well as some music stuff. am I just overthinking this?

I want to go to another con or big tournament man, last summer was so much fun

If you're eligible to vote today in Germany, please do. There's a single (realistic) candidate for chancellor that can actually articulate meaningful thoughts - or maybe a smaller party will align closer with your views. Don't vote Nazis or those who enable them

wild high seas prediction: some sort of Lovecraftian horror in the form of an illusionist or brute #fabtcg

vintage power cubing tonight :) drafted rakdos aggro discard!

what if we do CoT reasoning, but with neurological data as a prior instead of English? would start to look a lot like science fiction by then

do you reckon we will achieve agi by brute-forcing compute on transformers?

we need more top-down pixel jrpgs

why play meta decks when you can play cyb riptide

my takeaway with #fabtcg armories this weekend has been to gamble less lol

high vis might be one of the best bands right now

I got kano'ed for the first time🥲 #fabtcg

I don't know how to feel about wordpress

got an interview invite for a phd position that I really fancy! does anyone have any good pointers for good resources on phd interview prep? (pic unrelated)

january had been nothing but shit. I hope the rest of the year will make up for it

solid frontrunner for the worst january of my life lmao

#fabhunted limited is a banger #fabtcg

#fabtcg #fabhunted prerelease! let's get this bread

next week I will have my first d&d campaign in a few years! excited to be back, and this time around I'm going to try to do as much of the stats/notekeeping in an analog fashion, making my own character sheet notebook as well (like DIY field notes). super stoked :)

imagine the power the US and these companies are gonna have if Stargate achieves AGI

with social media becoming increasingly politically one-sided (in a way that is not progressive for specific marginalized groups), a decentralized internet, where no single person, company or ideology can lead, becomes more and more important.

how did you prepare for L1 judge exam? #fabtcg

alriiiiiight so this is what we're dealing with

every day I regret not purchasing the Sink Below playmat at PT Amsterdam, even if I probably would be too reluctant to use it because of its price tag and looks

don't let the normalcy of something you care about take away from it's specialty

I've been working somewhat fulltime hours as of recent, and to balance work and fun I've been mostly doing fun stuff on weekends. I kind of miss learning and building, but after a day at work I don't really have the headspace to anymore
