@Woerlan this is one of those instances where if MTG was a purely digital game, this would be super easy (just nerf Oko to have the 2nd ability be a -1. And maybe make OUAT a Sorcery or sth)
@rovietoosin @triviastorm hindi pala narerecognize nung bot before ang answers mo kasi hindi ka nya finafollow lol

OMG I’m finally done with this horrible coin flip of an #MagicArena event. This was only slightly worse than last week’s Elk madness. Only 1/3 of this months events were great, bleh. Should’ve just had one of them be brawl!

@gangbadoy problema sa pilipinas e, kailangan all or nothing ang suporta. pwede naman mag criticize ng ilang bagay habang aprub ka pa rin sa iba
Hong Kong protests are in their fifth month despite an escalating crackdown. How? One surprising answer: the fate of China’s Uyghurs. Many talked to me about it. They watched and learned. They’ve decided that they “may as well go down fighting.” My latest. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/11/escalating-violence-hong-kong-protests/601804/
Should really be going to sleep, but I’m really enjoying reading the release notes for Mystery Booster lol

Thoughts on the set: it’s clearly meant to be drafted for fun, don’t worry so much about the “value”, unless it turns out to be horribly overpriced

The weight of last night’s decisions bear heavily upon me
A bit overwhelmed by the world at the moment. Time for a break. My outrage will return in the future.

@waxpancake thanks! the original announcement page that they were shutting down had told me to get an archive from their “privacy dashboard”, but that only gave me a summary of my data. Looks like the page had been updated to point to this link you just gave instead. I’ll try it out!
@waxpancake Did the archive include group messages, files and photos?
@jaymelynilao Hug mo lang randomly mga officemates
The most disappointing thing about this episode was learning how “Erdogan“ was pronounced and realizing it no longer works with the Etrigan chants

Here’s our story from last night about the alarming decision to pull U.S. troops away from the border between Turkey and Syria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u_pZ-SgACk
By age 35 you should have:
It doesn’t matter It literally doesn’t Comparison is the thief of joy May you always have enough If you don’t, may you have great support Because rising tides lift all ships Unless you’re the worst, then I hope the tide takes you far away
I’m not sure whether charging blindly into fixing an unfamiliar system in an unfamiliar language/framework is a core skill for (senior) developers, or madness, or maybe a little bit of both
@SeresaTagAraw famous for being insatiable! lol
Brawl is the most fun I’ve had playing #mtg arena since it started. I play it even when I’m out of rewards for the day because it’s so fun, even against the Oko decks (I won this one!)

Casual fridays imply the existence of ranked competitive fridays
@jaymelynilao just generally a much bigger hassle compared to web. no option to do something simple without using a big framework and a million dependencies. dependency management is a pain. and the debug/build/deploy cycle is a lot slower #dev
Every time I try building a mobile app, I’m reminded why I hate mobile app development
I don’t understand why the Arrowverse producers want to make a Mia Smoak spinoff when the flashforwards are the most boring parts of arrow seasons 7 and 8
Why would you go big if you could just go home?
@jaymelynilao daily standup?

@patio11 what’s wrong with “blogging”?
@Westraid wasnt in time for the poll, but i would say just post what you like and as much as you like and let other people adjust if needed. After all, they chose to follow you :)
Updated to the new firefox, and now I’m thinking about finally getting a Firefox account to work with Lockwise and Breach Alerts. Is a Firefox account worth it?
Enterprise software can be so finicky with so many hidden options - a consequence of trying to be configurable for a wide audience

Feeling nostalgic: what are some articles, essays, blogposts etc that would go into a compilation called “the people’s oral history of the internet”?
