"Get a box of BPRO," they said. "You'll pull Albaz!"
Wanna know how bad my pulls are? I just managed to pull ZERO BLUES out of a box of Betty Crocker food coloring that I bought specifically for the blue.

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Paper only players really have a hard time grasping just what MTGO data means and just how much worse the average paper player is versus anyone who grinds MTGO. One of the most eye opening, level up moments you can have as a player is starting to grind online instead of locals.

The amount of times where I tell people "suck it up and jam on MTGO if you want to get better" is way too high.
If you REALLY want to up your game and you're not playing on MTGO, what are you doing?

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Something I hear a lot in my neighborhood is that there’s a way for everyone to help. And it’s true. We all have a role to play in resisting ICE and fascism.
If you want to help the people of Minnesota, this website has vetted ways to do that:

You weaponized the National Guard against peaceful protestors in 2020, but now, when the feds are gunning people down in the streets, you're doing fucking nothing?

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Excluding costs, the biggest impediment to AI adoption in game dev is that the output quality sucks ass and it makes games worse. AI adopters need everyone to use it so that people lower their standards and become more okay with buying garbage
I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore
