Looking at the free game from Epic Games this week be like

Not really anything worthy of fanfare but I finally caved in and uninstalled Pokemon TCG Pocket. Hadn't actually played in ages and had just been logging in to keep up. Stopped paying for premium a while back and it's just nice to let go of another gacha game that just became another chore.

What were your first four commander decks? Behold: the casual to cEDH pipeline. I miss old cEDH. :(

Computer, show me a perfect Magic card.

Vivi dream is dead 😓

I was aware of most of these but the fifth one frustrates me the most. Everything fell apart right in front of us and there was no apology, no effort to make things right, no contingency plan, nothing. In fact, we just got blamed and called lazy because we couldn't climb a ladder that didn't exist.

Sent an email inquiring about my application and was told they're still collecting resumes and searching for "qualified candidates" which makes me feel like they really don't want me but I might be their last resort. I could *really* use a win for once after years of bullshit.

I've spent a significant part of my adult life making up for lost time. I used to think the SNES had the best library of all time but I think the PlayStation may rival or even surpass it.

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

Finally decided to pull the trigger on a bunch of computer upgrades, all high end hardware. I did that 10 years ago and it's served me very well. Now I'll have a setup that should last me another 10 years. Can't wait to get it all set up and divorce myself from Microsoft forever. Fuck Windows 11.

*teenage dirtbag voice* drinking the homemade turkey gravy

The truth 🐊

Random elder emo hot take: Armor for Sleep is fucking fantastic and never got the flowers they deserved. Absolute homerun bangers of dreamy melancholy.

Now I heard there was a tiny box Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah But though it promised games for free And mobile ports on your TV It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

I have an old laptop that I turned into a linux server for my home and I stupidly did not keep up with updates and for some reason it cannot connect to the network (or the internet in general despite being plugged in) anymore. It's been a project I knew I'd have to deal with at some point.

motherfucker this is why i am moving to linux as soon as i upgrade my pc fuck microsoft, leave me a l o n e

> look for a photo editing app to tweak a picture I'm using as my wallpaper > See "create an account or log in with google" > uninstall can y'all just make apps that do stuff instead of needing me to make an account

Are you having trouble handling the deluge of Secret Lair product every year, but do you also love cool artwork and want to make sure you don't miss something amazing for your favorite deck? I use @scryfall.com for this at the end of every year. I use these two queries to find cards for my decks. 💜

So. Anyone in the know on the best way to get into IT without going back to school? I'm so disappointed with my workplace. Don't say you'd think I do well and encourage me to apply when you're just going to reject my application 12 hours later. I've been with you for 10 years, that's an advantage!

Can't think of many pictures more symbolically representative of the current state of affairs right now. (You know, aside from the pictures of the White House itself being demolished. That one fits too.)

lmao never mind my application just got rejected right after the head of the dept encouraged me to apply gonna be in this career hell until i fucking die

hahahaha I have a webinar from 9 to 1 today and then my normal work day from 2 to 10 🥴 Very weird and normal feeling considering what I did yesterday. At least the training hours will make it so I might not need to waste PTO next week when I go out of town lol

I put in the application. Just gonna be over here silently panicking forever now.

Currently working up the nerve to put in my application for an internal opening at my job that would be a lateral move for me toward a new career far more related to my interests. It's not perfect, I'd still be traveling a lot, but I feel like it'll give me growth I'll never get where I am now.

too real lol

If Blink-182 wrote E1M1.

Saw an internal opening at my job that would be a perfect foot in the door for a career change but I have no idea if they'd test for certain things for someone who has already been at this place for a decade and was only tested at the very start. No idea what to do.

Happy 25th anniversary to Final Fantasy IX, my favorite game of all time ❤️ Still chasing that high.

Just found out something that has left me feeling deeply insulted but can't really talk about it without giving more info about IRL stuff than I'd like to. Suffice it to say, you're not the place I used to like and I'm fucking embarrassed you did what you did, I have lost so much respect for you.

starting to feel like Grijalva's swearing-in and final Epstein vote may have been the only uno reverse card that could distract from the pathetic way Dems ended the shutdown lol

DONALD TRUMP: You're banned from Mar-a-Lago for being a creep. JEFFREY EPSTEIN: o. ka ,, y . m? ? ? ! by t,he way i have. You r new .' Pedofile Lisense "* u orde4red _in m.y)))))) car + DONALD TRUMP: Thank you, my dearest friend.

Rubbing my temples because of libs who are all mad that Dems are getting yelled at right now saying that Republicans are the real enemy. Like yes, we're very aware of that. But we cannot win against them with the lousy leadership of Dems and their abdication of support for their constituents.

I feel like everything you need to know about our current political craptitude is evident in me packing a guillotine pendant for someone I know is a Quaker. 😆😆😆

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Hey Dems, if you ever wonder why leftists mock you relentlessly, please remember tonight.

💪

Cruel irony: so I did end up getting the encyclopedia secret lair, but I only had like 3 uninteresting foils and my only halo foil was fuckin Temple of the False God 🫠

*looks at unbuilt deck lists* *looks at IT/cybersecurity resources bought and unread* *looks of piles of games bought and unopened for years* I feel so very called out.

Man. I've been on Japanese tea for the past few months that I've forgotten just how different Chinese tea hits. Cracked into my shou mei cake for the first time in months and I am just awash in serenity right now. God damn I love good tea.

Love the energy today and wish I could lib out as hard. Maybe you'll see that out of me if midterms go well, but for now, anxiety prevails.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

I thought I had wiped my IRL existence from the internet entirely until I remembered my livejournal still existed. That's uh, some nostalgic cringe for me and my eyes only. I've archived it for myself and deleted it all. I hadn't posted there in over 14 years lol

I'm not going to say whether or not I successfully got the Lair or not today. If I do, I don't want to rub it in for anyone else who got fucked over. If I don't, I don't want to rain on the parade of anyone who managed to get in.

Refusing to love your neighbor is a fruit of Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism, above all else, is an ideology of self. Every Christian Nationalist worships not God but an idol that wears the face they see in the mirror.

oh my god, no one could have seen this coming, this has never happened before!

@mtgsecretlair.com that's a real cool pre-queue waiting room you got there print to demand already

The Secret Lair site is already crashing with everyone trying to log in to be ready to get in the queue. What a fucking awful sales model. WotC should be ashamed of how bad this is. Print to demand already.
