Oh no, just found out mastodon.technology is shutting down =/ No wonder I got a number of re-follows from migrated accounts today.
Time to once again play the game of "What if I just make my custom blog software Mastodon compatible?"

My headcanon is that Vic Rodriguez is out because he kept nagging Jr to get some work done - like the SRA thing - and that TCA is out because she kept asking about how to justify all the partying and other shenanigans. Calida is out probably for being an asshole or sth
Bersamin knows all of this so he just immediately got to work in making up nonsense to justify the F1 thing in a way that doesn't prejudice any future excuse #philippines #politics

I sometimes think about running a small hole-in-the-wall used bookstore in suburban Metro Manila, the kind where you have maybe 3-4 visitors a day and I spend all day in front of a computer while manning the shop, working on random things. We also buy and sell used PS3 games
Quoted anothercohen's tweet:I don't know a single person who works in tech and hasn't seriously thought about quitting and opening up a coffee shop in a small town in the middle of nowhere
This fantasy falls apart when I remember the bureaucracy involved in starting a business in this country

💬 Reply to a comment by _4C1D on 'Shadows over Innistrad Remastered is coming to Arena' on /r/MagicArena:
In case you weren't around for previous remaster sets like Kaladesh Remastered, they're basically selected cards from all the sets in the block (for this case that would be Shadows Over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon), combined into one draftable booster product. There will likely be drafts or you can just buy the packs from the store or craft the cards with wildcards etc. For Amonkhet Remastered, they also included some reprints from sets outside of the block, but with new flavor/art to match the plane, so that might happen here as well. We don't expect new cards that aren't reprints

This past weekend I participated in Ludum Dare 51 (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51)! A full blog post is probably coming in a day or so, but you can go ahead and play my submission at https://hungryroy.itch.io/10-second-pizza-delivery (It might be a bit hard)

Managed to hit Master rank in Throne on @EternalCardGame last month, and even tried to go for rank 1, but my deck got nerfed towards the end of the month lol. I think I got to 14 at best and ended at 25. Too bad they don't seem to be publishing the eom leaderboards anymore.

The only thing this would expose would be a lack of understanding of how most people don't actually choose lotto numbers randomly.
Quoted gmanews's tweet:Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III on Sunday said he would file a resolution seeking an investigation into how 433 bettors won the P236 million PCSO Grand Lotto jackpot.

I think I do. Can I give it a shot?
It has to do with the purpose of government.
For some people (like us) purpose of government is to help people. We think fairness is possible, and that the government's job is to try to create fairness.
Others have a different worldview.

Contrary to popular belief, most DLC isn’t content that was maliciously cut from the game to make an extra buck.
DLC has its own budget, timelines, greenlight, staff, etc. It’s a whoooole separate project. And nowadays it’s necessary for a AAA/AAAA game to ever break even. https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1537598685625737216

Very long set of threads about the the various revisions Tolkien made to LOTR. The initial draft was a far, far cry from the finak outcome!
Quoted mytholder's tweet:So, for various reasons, I'm rereading the HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH books about the writing of Lord of the Rings. They're fascinating (for certain values of fascinating); what I'm going to do this time try to extract writing advice (thread)

Quick Drafting Dominaria United 9/29 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgdmu
Squeezed in a couple of DMU quick drafts before they rotate out. Tried UW for the first draft, it went a terrible 0 wins, but I got my groove back and went 7-0 for my final DMU quick draft!

Managed a mediocre 3 and a pretty good 7 this time. The UR one felt great to play but I made too many mistakes.

The course described in this thread is something our local students sorely need
Quoted QueenOfRats's tweet:As we’re all still yelling abt research skills, digital literacy, & Gen Z, I thought I’d share how I do my first 9th grade research skills workshop. This usually takes about 20 min and is intended to be an introduction. We go over it again several times during the school year. 1/
