Built a new Brawl deck for MtG: Arena- Bruenor, Battlemaster. It usually either loses pretty horribly, or the opponent concedes before Bruenor hits the battlefield. But... but... but when it *is* allowed to cook a bit, it's not just a Voltron deck. It's Voltron and friends!

Mucking around in MtG: Arena, trying to find a use for my Tonberry cards, and built a deck where every creature has Deathtouch.
Turns out, it's incredibly *fun* to play. I can see the gears turning in my opponent's head as they start really paying attention to what's on the play field.

Note to #D&D players- when your Druid is kind enough to Polymorph a Bulette into a crab, the correct course of action is probably *not* to throw it at the Black Puddings that are (slowly) pursuing you.
It will take acid splash damage, transform back into a Bulette, and let the DM continue the fight.

Did some much needed maintenance on the succulent garden. The two cacti are new, but needed a pot with adequate drainage. The others may be a little worse for wear, but will be happier in spacious planters. Used welding gloves, still got stuck with spines right through them.

I really gotta wonder sometimes about the matchmaking in MtG: Arena, when it puts me up against six (maybe seven) lifegain mirror matches in a row.
(And all the decks are better than mine, but that's beside the point.)

I should stop reposting this so much, but it always fits so well.

Just having one of those days in MtG: Arena where RNG gives me bad draws, and matchmaking puts me up against hard control, repeatedly.
It's a good deck, just.... not today.

I wish this was fake. It's not. I hope our Democratic leaders aren't still imagining they have any hope of actually negotiating with this regime and the GOP.

I saw this floating around, and had to verify for myself. Yes, this is a screenshot of my screen. Yes, the text and site is real and official.
Democratic leaders- why are you still imagining there is *any* way to negotiate with these people? They want you, and the entire democratic party, destroyed.

I wasn't certain this was real, and had to verify for myself. It is very real.

D&D session today. The party explored a shipwreck & did not respect the warning signs that it was an Illithid Nautiloid.
Intellect Devourers are a *lot* more dangerous than their CR2 indicates, especially when one jumps into the skull of the party's Monk and turns him into a CR7 whirlwind of fists.

My Historic/Pioneer Izzet Guttersnipe MtG Arena deck was doing really good until today, when matchmaking decided that every game I played needed to be against a discard or removal deck, and the rng decided I only needed two lands per game.

I like a good challenge- like building a Tiny Home for a whole family in #sims4 that actually is livable. I think I did a decent job...

D&D day! The party has to make their way to a ruined temple in a swamp. Don't mind the Phase Spiders and Will-o-Wisps...

I hate in #marvelrivals that the only way to counter a decent Spider-Man is to switch off your flier to another character. But sometimes you've gotta make do. #magneto #quadkill (Note said Spider-Man jumping around ineffectively now, unable to do much against the Vanguard character.)

I told it trump was elected and was trying to enact Project 2025, and its speculation as to the implications are almost spot on to what's actually been happening.

As I suspected, the database lags behind current events, somewhat significantly. Up to a year behind.
So, like everyone should do when consulting AI- take everything with a grain of salt.
(I only use it for diet tips and occasionally bouncing D&D session ideas off of.)
