I agree that it’s a fun little own goal, but I want add that you don’t even need to be “pretty damn good at whatever you’re doing”. The imperfections that can only come from humans will and has become something people actively seek out and cherish. Keep doing what you do. You’re awesome.

I wasn’t thrilled with my pool at the Magic: The Gathering HOBBIT prerelease, but it turned out this deck was cracked and got me a solid 3-0 (6-1) easily! Tidings of War turn 1 was always insane, and I often had an 8/8 army on turns 4/5.

Blizzard quite generously sent me some cookies to celebrate the latest Hearthstone expansion Escape From Violet Hold. It took my kids all of 15 seconds to prison break two of them out for themselves, which sounds about right.

I don’t usually share much about the music I like because I assume most people won’t like what I like, which really is a silly idea in general. That aside, I discovered Angine de Poitrine this week and that has made me very happy, and I think they could make you happy, too. youtu.be/pRgHYWOtqqc?...

I do this thing to bait the 5yo into no longer ignoring me when I tell her it’s time to brush her teeth by pretending her Spider-Man toothbrush is any other character. “That’s not [Bluey/R2D2/a Smurf]!” “Yeah it is, they’re just in their favourite Spider-Man costume!”

Another 6-0 Violet Hold Brawl! Apparently Handlock is sick? Running Spire Security and not running Cold Snap was an excellent choice. Hold Them Off! has been a much better card than I ever imagined. AAECAbqRBQTr1gey2Aet2Qe/3wcNr8kHsMkH3NUH3dcHsNkHsdkHt9kHjdoH19oHk9sHjdwHptwHmt0HAAA=

4th 6-x Violet Hold Brawl, with Prepare Priest again! I can’t believe people think Black Market Overseer is an aggro card, it’s so good on defence! Hold them Off is quickly becoming the best card in this Brawl AAECAfq0Bgb2yQet2geR2weS3Ae/3wff5QcMr8kHsMkHodgH5NkHjdoH19oH29oHktsHlNsH1tsHyt0Hst8HAAA=
