he/him 📌 berlin, almost i make games sometimes! 💖 star trek, mtg, (board) games, socialism, that kinda stuff

lost one of the cards for my playing card deck, so im toying with designing my own replacement! don't hate this ascii art idea, but it seems a little hard to read for actual play...

11 digital mockups of playing cards (all clubs 2-10, J, A), made of ascii art

i have ascended to a new level of commander deckbuilding! why spend all that time fine tuning a deck when i can just throw scryfall queries in a CSV and have a python script spit out an infinite variety of decks!!

A CSV file specifying the makeup of a commander deck. The column headers are:
- Number
- Name
- Query
- Allow Duplicates
- Sort

ik secret lairs are limited on purpose, but something like a mystery booster style chaos draft product where every pack includes a number of reprints from across secret lair would be so fun!

its kind of baffling that they still show you foreign-language ads on youtube the second you step foot in another country! like, im literally *signed in*, surely google would know better than to serve me dutch ads??

its kind of sad im getting to go to magiccon now, the time im playing the least magic i have in years im feeling weirdly mixed about it (especially since im going alone) when just a year or two ago i wouldve been _so_ excited

Interesting they're giving Trelane the Q creature type, even though that was technically only established pretty recently (SNW s3)! makes it seem like they probably had access to unreleased stuff during design?

posted this before he posted about "his" new word game being "ai"-coded... i can kind of see the case for this kind of use case (kind of!) but i _really_ don't for someone like him, who could easily find a hundred hobby web devs who'd love to help him realize his game concept...

If hank green wasn't hank green i probably would've long blocked him for being too much of an "ai" guy... (though admittedly ive been very block-happy in that regard lately)

finally unsubscribed from the data science youtuber thats just been doing ai stuff for a while so sad honestly, i remember really distinctly the cool video that got me to subscribe in the first place, but now all they do is the same boring slop

went to the pride commander event (even though i dont love playing commander with strangers) cause i really wanted that pin, but the lgs said they didn't get the promos yet and theyd let us know been two weeks now and they still havent gotten in touch 🥲

i dont like that its come to this but i think we need to ban millennials from talking about "the problem with modern star trek" (especially if their favorite show is TNG)

aesthetically i hate everything about this, but i really vibe with this as a voltron commander.... very mana hungry, but being able to protect it (by copying a bogle or a land) make it unblockable, get damage triggers/stats on it after blockers is really cool!

(german rant disclaimer) diese berichterstattung über die linksjugend (und die reaktion einiger in der partei) ist einfach wirklich peinlich wie jetzt?? junge linke haben unterschiedliche/differenzierte ansichten zu DDR/Stalin/Mao?? und posten teilweise kontroverse/provokante sachen?? undenkbar!
