I stopped playing Magic once Ice Age came out, so that was ~1995ish. Fucking thing is still coming out with new expansions now.

In my youth I was part of a Gaming Club called “The Circle of Adventurers” in Hamilton, ON. We met every Sunday evening from like 6pm-12am in the basement of a church (much amusement, that). We’d finish up our D&D gaming late, the. rearrange tables for massive M:tG multiplayer rumbles.

I know people have problems with 5e/5.5e and that’s fine, i’m just happy (and a bit surprised) to see the old Nerdoms of mine (D&D and M:tG) still going fairly strong, if not stronger than ever. A buddy has recently gotten back into Magic so now I am remembering things I had long forgotten.

I have now read the 2014 D&D player’s handbook and DM Guide, the 2024 versions of those + Momster Manual, Adventures in Faerûn, Heroes of Faerûn, and Arcana Unleashed. Very interesting changes to the game since I last played in 2nd edition (duh, that came out in 1989)…

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I don’t really know why I’m buying and reading all these D&D 5e/5.5e sourcebooks. It’s not like I’ll ever be playing tabletop again. I am, and remain, a geek. #d&d #realmsforever

They ain’t kidding when they say that ultrasound gel is cold. Damn.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I’m reading D&D 5.5e Player’s Handbook since I bought it a while ago and figured I may as well even though I haven’t played tabletop in well over a decade…and (A)D&D since shortly after “Skills & Powers” came out in ‘95.

Just upgraded from 1.0Gbps down/30Mbps up to full 1.5Gbps synchronous, awwwwwyeah.

Trying again to watch “Widow’s Bay” because all I see is praise for it. Characters are all just so unlikable. I say “again” because I turned off episode 2 the first time after 5 minutes a few weeks ago.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Just finished “Obsession”. Good flick. Bear is a piece of shit human.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I just started season 2 of “The Agency”. By gawd do I love my CIA/espionage nonsense.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Supergirl was neither great, nor shitty. I get that they were trying to showing the differences between Kara and Kal, they just missed the mark. I like Alcock, Lobo was fun though unnecessary, and i could’ve done without the entire existence of Ruthye.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Switched things up a bit and just watched “Inside Out” for the first time. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

000

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I just watched “The Substance”, great before bed viewing!

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Finally got around to watching “Transformers One” just now. Holy shit, that ruled.

110

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I am watching “Teeth”, from 2007. I am a highbrow cinephile if nothing else.

000

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Just finished “28 Days Later”. Yes, the first one. I’m not big on zombie shit but I figured I’d try and get over myself. It did not suck.

000

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Finally almost through s3 of Star Trek: Brave New Worlds. Only took me until s4 started.

100

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Why yes, I did re-watch season 1 of “Silo” while waiting for s3e3 to come out. Shocking you would ask such a thing knowing how busy my schedule is.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

This is fucking ridiculous. It’s 98.6 feels like 107.6 in freedom units. Love how the heat warning is until *Friday*.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

nothing like sleeping from 6am to 1pm, then having to go back to sleep at 8pm and waking up at 1am. I love my life.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Yay, they’re here! My first ever Criterion purchases.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Watched “Bring Her Back” last night/this morning. Not my favourite genre by far, but it was well done and I enjoyed it.

000

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Australia, and Scotland should be mandatory in every World Cup just to ensure it’s more fun.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Looking forward to our combination 20th wedding a anniversary party/my 50th birthday party this afternoon. Forecast looks alright!

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

I just installed World of Warcraft of my Debian 13 desktop. Not because I'm going to play again, just to see if I could and get it to work. This whole process has definitely come a LONG way since I last tried installing a game on Linux (15 or so years ago).

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Went to a concert on Apr. 29, felt my throat going ick before I even got home. Full blown cold/flu on the 30th. Still sick. You’ve had your way with my immune system now please kindly fuck off. I would like more than 5 hours of sleep one of these days.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

FLA in Tronno tonight. Yes, thrill as I leave my house.

Anything less than the best is a felony.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

It is 2026. I just jail-broke an iPhone 4, because I could.

000

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Finished up season 2 of “Peacemaker” tonight, finally. Also making my way through s3 of “Spy x Family”, and watching “Frieren” and “Hell’s Paradise” as episodes air of their new seasons. Oh, and going through “The Pitt” s2 with the wife as well.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

This song is 23 years old now (good God I'm old), and it still destroys me every single time I listen to it.

110

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

I finished "It: Welcome To Derry" last night, very well done. I also two anime series with new episodes to enjoy finally (Frieren, and Hell's Paradise), so that's fun too. 'tis the snowpocalypse here now. Bah.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Just finished watching “Nuremberg”. You know…a night, light change from reality.

010

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Yeah, I think I’ll take a detour and read the copy of Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary” I recently won thanks to the spiffy folks @hardcover.app

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

I just finished the last book of Sanderson’s “Mistborn era 2” series. Next step is to chew through all the remaining standalone #Cosmere books. I might read something completely unrelated as a palette cleanser, but we’ll see.

010

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

So…I finished “Warbreaker”, then read “Mistborn: Secret Histories”, then “Arcanum Unbounded”. I’m now on “Shadows of Self”, which is book 2 of Mistborn: Wax and Wayne”, or “era 2” whichever works. I have a #Cosmere problem, kids.

Watching #DieHard in 4K for the first time on the new OLED/5.1 system. Ho ho ho.

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

I’m finished “Mistborn” era 1. Onto “Warbreaker” now. I’ll eventually read something non-Sanderson. Maybe.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10. The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1. I bet we can do better than that this time. #Toronto #CounterProtest

A poster by a Christofascist group called Canada First Movement shows a Canadian flag beside a large white cross and an airplane flying towards the right side of the poster. They’re hosting a racist rally called Stop Mass Immigration at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on January 10 at 1 pm. The words at the bottom of the poster say START MASS DEPORTATIONS • CLOSE OUR BORDERS.

2 out of 3 Mistborn Saga era 1 books done, so onto the third. Finished listening to “Navigators of Dune” earlier tonight. Taking a break from that universe to start Warhammer 40K’s #HorusHeresy

Mark (he/him) @mark00z.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Book one of #Mistborn finished. May as well keep goin’…
