How did I so rapidly become a person who winces at the word "Jaquaying" [sic]?
(specifically that it ought to be "Jaquaysing")

Holyday is so special. Stunning that people vote for him.
Councillor Holyday worries about retail stores that "sell some zany thing that has very little value." He wants to know if council could define a list of what stores can sell.
Staff say they can regulate things like size, noise and property standards, but generally not what stores sell.

Man, I was googling something technical for work and their AI was like, "you probably actually mean this:" and gave me a link to a website from the early 2000s that answered my question.
I will acknowledge an extremely rare good job by AI, assisting a lay-up for the pre-Web 2.0 net

Opened up some work software that I don't generally use and got a pop-up advertising their new "XP-style menus and toolbars display"
I would love seeing that notification for almost any software, at any time. In this case, it's for the 2007 edition of the program (and so I still love it)

Are Innistrad, Mirrodin/New Phyrexian, Lorwyn/Shadowmoor seem like they're the coolest planes, and I'm not sure how much that's just because of that era's card design

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

The wild thing about ttrpg blogs and youtube is how many people talk about books and zines and call them "reviews" and openly or just evidently haven't actually played them

There are only so many minutes in a game. Time spent deciphering game pieces and board states is time not spent on interesting decisions or game actions or whatever else people actually enjoy
Visual accessibility. It's something I harp on a lot but if you want more people to play your Cube, then having legible printings will do much to help bolster play experience and their understanding of the Cube itself.
What's an aspect of cube you wish people put more consideration into when building one?

Tentative Revision. Some new faces, some stuff staying, some stuff coming back. Cutting down to a single cycle of gold cards. Emphasis on effects that change the texture of the game, do novel stuff, or otherwise emphasize Casual Atmosphere(TM)

I've grown a lot as a designer since I last looked at this cube. Initially I think I had a focus on including POWERFUL cards so that the cube still "felt like cube" - what Cube is has evolved so far, that I don't think that still makes sense as a design goal, which starts to make these feel suspect.
