When you pay $30 to see a movie in a theater, you generally expect it to be able to improve upon the experience of my couch.
Saw Wicked: For Good at AMC in Springfield and the center and front right speakers were out.
I'm real mad about it.

I've been trying to pull this stupid combo for ages.
Phage the Untouchable cast from my hand, then sacrificed to another card effect, causing her to come into play on my opponent's field thanks to Endless Whispers.
Since my opponent didn't cast phage from their hand, she kills them.

Pros of working for a nonprofit part time: I'm not doom scrolling
Cons include seeing all the good I could do if only they had money to pay me for my time and energy... because unfortunately we live in a society and I gotta be able to afford rent and groceries.

I'm apparently giving an opening speech for the Transgender Day of Remembrance this year. And we've moved to a bigger location because our usual event space didn't have room for everyone last year.
I'm definitely completely stoic and not nervous at all. Yup. Absolutely.

9 years ago I dressed as a girl for the first time. For Halloween. Specifically the video game character Linkle. Which is a girl version of Link from Legend of Zelda. I have no pictures from that day. I probably looked ridiculous. But I'll never forget that feeling.

Limit Breaker continues to be my favorite format to play in Magic the Gathering. My friends made two new decks and they wrecked my Yoshi P deck. Rydia got a turn 2 Gau out, and just stomped on everyone. Absolutely hilarious.
Gonna have to try Terra, Magical Adept against them next.

I legit don't think I've ever beat a roguelike before. Like. I'm just, generally speaking, not good at the genre. I don't actually "beat" many games, and I of course realize one roguelike victory isn't necessarily "beating" the game either.

But I beat Hades II!

Saw Chappell Roan in KC on Friday night. It was an experience I'll never forget. Partially due to ADA accessibility being a nightmare, but also because the Midwest Princess is amazing.

Started listening to the Tron: Ares soundtrack. I was cautiously optimistic about NIN taking it on.
All hope has been dashed. Something about it is just grating and bad and not at all enjoyable to listen to.
