Streaming some casual Theros Sealed: https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #twitch #gaming #mtg
Stream lasted 2+ hours, but I finally managed to 7-2 a sealed, even with a crappy pool!

Wow, Duelyst is shutting down: https://duelyst.com/news/farewell-duelyst. I played a few hundred hours of this (Review: https://roytang.net/2017/02/review-duelyst/). Pretty good game, but there's a big learning curve and each game can take some time. Hope it can come back in some form in the future.

There should be a Darths and Droids for Harry Potter
Its probably an evolutionary disadvantage that people I know can easily recognize me when Im out walking since Im huge. I have like -3 to stealth
- Sometimes I see posts like this: and I can't help but feel like it's at least a little bit applicable to me. And I start to wonder whether maybe I'm suffering depression? Or maybe just a little depressed? The question only lasts in my head for a moment. Despite my sometimes bleak outlook for humanity, I still consider myself a largely optimistic person and I understand life is generally good for me at least (at the moment). I'm like 99% sure that I'm mostly just lazy. Or am I?

TIL Google Sheets can do some simple SQL, i.e. something like =QUERY(A2:D1000,"select C, count(A) group by C")

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
Another good post to read for those writing small human characters.

Sorry about this being in Twitter format but it was too good not to share. (x)
Boy, I remember when all of this seemed* like a mostly abstract consideration and not something we’re going to have to take to the streets over and over again to combat.
*(rightly or wrongly [probably the latter], and I am fully aware this also speaks to how privileged my existence is)
Getting real sick of hearing from people who are fretting ABOUT PUNCHING MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS.
Remember, when in doubt: Punch. More. Nazis. - 🔁 Repost from jessesingal:
