Saturday noon Prerelease, 3-0-1. Had to draw the last round because I won game one, then I got milled out as time ran out. I played this like a control deck, making use of the raw card advantage of Tanufel Rimespeaker with Unexpected Assistance, protecting Sygg and Brigid with my entire being.
A collection of Lorwyn Eclipsed cards in the White, Blue, and Green colors. I did quite well at the main event with this list.

Friday night Prerelease, 3-0, all 2-1's. Notably ran 22/18 split because of the two Sapling Nursery. Bitterbloom Bearer is a house. This is a *super* slow format.
A list of Lorwyn Eclipsed cards that I won a Prerelease with. This is notable, for being 3 colors with zero fixing, and running an extra land over the traditional recommendation of 23 spells and 17 lands.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

someone needs to write an explainer article teaching people why government is a service, not a business, and what that actually means. Government isn't about making money, it's about turning money into things people need.

Smiling and nodding when Elon says “if we cancel something good we’ll just put it back in like we did with ebola prevention” requires you to believe that Elon Musk both is and should be the emperor.

One beautiful April morning
I played the 100% perfect game of Melee.
Tell you the truth, it was not beautiful
There were dropped combos and missed techs
There were SDs and missed inputs.
And yet, in all its ordinariness,
It was nevertheless perfect.
Because we played it together.

Friendly reminder that even the best opponents will have habits that you can exploit, like leaving their homes unlocked or sleeping with the lights off.

Friendly reminder: Tier lists only matter if you care about winning. And between you and me, bud, maybe you should just stick with having fun.

Hbox gave my friend a ride to a local. Incredibly, nobody was injured on the way there, except for my friend (annihilated), and 14 witnesses (annihilated), in what is already being described as the "Gamer Goof of the Century."
