Racist candidates in Harrow... not like there is a significant community of south asian descent there or anything.

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

Sometimes I feel like I'm too... normal? For Magic.white, cis, straight, middle aged numpty with anxiety.

Seen a fair few posta about the Blood Bowl NAFC this weekend. Not rolled a block die in anger in nearly 10 years. I didn't quit the game. The game quit me. I miss the people, but every post CRP/LRB6 rule change has made me want to puke.

Slightly annoying that WotC continue to raid my moxfield for deck ideas. I jest, but the Lorehold precon was quite similar to my Hofri deck, and I built Gisa Zombies about three months ago. Will likely pick up an Angels deck. I have many Angels in my decks, my Azorius deck especially, but no typal.

@riotgames.com can we have Knockout back. Please.

I am genuinely annoyed that MC Amsterdam is going to be all Marvel shit, like we didn't get tired of the franchise after "Endgame", while Vegas gets Strixhaven stuff. Some UB is great, but I wish it wasn't main sets.

Lots of fun looking posts from Vegas. Amsterdam hype intensifies.

The show must...what? Lessons in the importance of kerning.

The Hampster Dance website in 1999 This website was one of the earliest examples of an Internet meme and it was created by Deidre LaCarte in 1998. #InternetHistory

I wish we could have this for Amsterdan, but we'll get bloody Marvel Superheroes crap instead. I would love Quandrix and Lorehold badges...

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

New commander bracket definitions: 1) my deck is cool but barely functional. 2 my deck is designed to do something cool and fun. 3) my deck os designed to do sonething cool and win. 4) my deck wants to win. 5) my deck wants to win fast, make you all miserable, preferably both.

“The stately pleasure-dome is essential for the safety and security of the Kubla Khan and his family. When the stately pleasure-dome is complete, Kubla Khan and his successors will no longer need to venture beyond the safety of pleasure-dome perimeter," commented a person on business from Porlock.

A games shop/play space. The annoying thing is knowing the place I dream of exists, five minutes walk from where my son lives now.

Randomly watching an episode of something called "Grand designs", where a bloke goes around looking at people doing extensive buildinc renovation projects. Fascinating show, but the presenter is an arrogant prick. Trying very hard to make the show about him, not the project.

Last night, at LGS Commander night, I topdecked a "Whiterhoof" moonshaker cavalry for a win. It felt dirty.

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

I am absolutely shite at recognising when someone is flirting with me. Like, comically bad at it. My mates would mock me about it. But something happened today that made me so happy. 1/?

Hot Take: Sverige är för kulturellt moget som land för att fortsätta med den här grejen med "thailändsk mat och sushi". Det är lite pinsamt, och attityderna det återspeglar är superkonstiga. Thailändska restauranger för thailändsk mat, japanska restauranger för sushi.

Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, I repeat Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, this is unpreced— <wait my producer is just whispering something in my ear> Apparently this is precedented

April is the month in which it's winter when you wake up, spring when you leave the house, summer while you're at work, and autumn by the time you get home.

Y'know - considering they started out as the guys who shot deserters in old school 40k IG, and might still be for all I know, between yer man, Caine and Gaunt there are sone pretty cool Commissars in 40k Lore.

REPUBLICANS: "We are going to gerrymander the shit out of the next election!" DEMOCRATS: "OK, so we will gerrymander back to level the playing field." REPUBLICANS: "Whaaaaaa! Whaaaaaa! Not fair!!!!! You are beating us at our own game. So sneaky!"

Headline of the Day.

Because not all AI is slop generation. Some of it has proper usages, but all that stuff gets buried in the sea of shitty, lazy "art" being pumped out. (He says having done an online course yesterday that proudly boasted that the shitty assets used were AI. Yeah, I could tell. And it made me sick.)

These are all Taylor Swift quotes.

The thing that really offends me here that I, who knows nothing about swords beyond what DnD has taught me, looks at that blade and thinks "Is that not a slashing blade?" Looks like it's designed to be swung, with that broad, curved shape.

I feel unBritish now. My home town has a little tesco by the station, and what I assume is a big tesco, but is it big enough or is it a normal tesco? It was a big tesco when i still lived there, but I am unsure if that still counts.

The Red Corsair minis are cool, but would have been far cooler as a pure renegade NON Chaos chapter of Marines. The 40k universe would benefit from breakaway humans, those who have tired of the Imperium, but not fallen to Chaos.

If you grew up in Britain at a certain point in time, "Play School", with Brian Cant, Floella Benjamin snd Derek Griffiths especially, were intrinsic to your earliest years.

This sounds like an excuse for the people drinking beers at 7am...

Freedom is only a hop away. Can he make it?

With Magiccon season looming, I would like to remind people of a fun and simple little house rule you can introduce to Commander games: Monarch in the middle. Quite simply the first player to deal combat damage to another player becomes the Monarch. That's it.

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

2nd death in my family in as many months. Fuck.

Damn... that Streetfighter trailer looks a hell of a lot of fun.

I bought a collectors booster of Secrets of Strixhaven. It contained a foil Joined Researchers. Now I'm really hoping @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social and @goberthicks.bsky.social will be at MC Amsterdam so I can ger them to sign it.

There is only one person who can get Bluesky working again

A post on FB from one of my Alma maters described someone as "a champion of ethics in engineering". I am struggling think what that could mean. Material choices? Whether building something might destroy humanity?

"O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats...

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

CBA today. Go out of your way to fill in, work your arse off, get shit for it... It's been a long, depressing, few weeks. It's friday. My giveashit meter is empty.

Apparently this person is a Bluesky tech lead. I get serious pointy haired boss vibes. (Sorry to reference DIlbert... let us remember when it was good, not after Adams lost the plot)

Most incredible possible outcome from a Danhausen curse

Liz Kendall is clearly an idiot.
