Tessera

Wrapped up 1000x Resist on my #Steamdeck - what a great little adventure game. The story was entirely unique and engaging and the world was just beautiful. No action to speak of, but if you just want to be told a beautiful as sci-fi story, I highly recommend this one. #gaming

Spent a lot of today working on an Opencode agent stack to help me with cube design. Pretty fun so far and some promising early results as a brainstorming partner when building out a new project or refining an old one. A lot of time sunk into controlling the AI cost. Will share soon. #mtgcube

There is a lot of hand-wringing in the media about how AI search is destroying the human Internet. But have you visited a "human" website recently? They're either overrun with ads and auto-playing video or locked behind a unique paywall. AI previews feel so much less intrusive. #ai #media

Time to buy some more cayenne coated bird feed!

Tree frogs on milkweed are medicine for the soul... #nature

Sure I was in technically Nottingham to play in #WMUCC26, but a big highlight in addition to the great ultimate frisbee was adding 33 new species to my life list on Merlin. Being here during hatching season was an extra treat. Some of the beauties I saw.... #birds 🪶

I miss drafting Magic, but I'm done supporting UB sets, even if I like the IP. (tho I've found a UB tie in makes me think worse of the IP). A side casualty of this is that I also miss listening to the great Limited podcasts out there. But I gotta vote with my wallet. Only way to try to have a say.

6/10 - The Chaotic Orbits trilogy is a decent caper spread out across three short novels. The entire thing reads like a heist movie / robin hood story, with a wise-cracking female lead outsmarting her government operative/lover at every turn. Fairly predictable, but still fun. 🪐📚💙 #books #scifi

After spending 6 months being told that it would be rainy and cold in Nottingham, this is the current reality. Scorching out! And the dorms I'm staying in don't have AC. #wmucc2026 #wmucc 🥏

8/10 A cozy and quick read about a crew of robots in post-war California trying to carve out a living by opening a restaurant. Sweet and smart, this was a great airplane read. 🪐📚💙 #books #scifi

Favorite read of the year so far! This book has a dumb premise... but OMG, the execution! Love love loved it! Once I got over the fact that werewolves and vampires were onboard a sentient spacecraft I couldn't get enough of this. The story-telling is pure joy. Efficiency: 110% 🪐📚💙 #books #scifi

Of Monsters and Mainframes, by Barbara Truelove

9/10 - You know that feeling when you finish up a series and it just feels so unfair that it's over? That's how I feel about Bethany Jacob's 'Kindom trilogy'. Such a cool space opera full of loveable characters and a twisty plot. Would pay good money for more in this universe. 🪐📚💙 #books #scifi

Today is a weird day. I'm mostly just wasting time waiting for a 9pm flight to the UK to play in #WMUCC2026. I'll be competing in the GGM Mixed division. I've spent a tonne of time training to prepare, which is why I've been pretty quiet here for the past 3 months. More info: www.wmucc.sport

With a loooong break between sets this summer, I'm leaning even more into #MtgCube. Over the past week I put together a fairly simple twobert using @r-condon.bsky.social's "Original Recipe". Dubbed 'Just add alcohol', this is meant for both new & experienced players: cubecobra.com/cube/list/jaa

Cube Cobra List: Just add alcohol

A simple cube (mostly) based on card since 2019, with some exceptions. Powerful without being over-the-top. The design is meant to appeal to players who are newer to the game without dumbing it down....

Test drafting v0.01 of my new cube.... here are the first three decks from 'After the Fall' - a cube about telling an evolving story over the course of multiple drafts. I'll share the list once I've written the primer and made some tweaks...... #mtgcube

I could probably stand here all day watching the goslings totter around under the watchful (and sometimes grumpy) gaze of their parents. Baby geese are adorable little floofs. #birds 🪶

In Quebec City for my daughter's first tournament of the year. 3-0 to start the season is pretty great. My own season kicks off in two weeks. Playing a warm up tournament in Ottawa before heading to Worlds in the UK. #ultimatefrisbee #parenting

In which I say a few words about Morning Doves. #birds 🪶

🏆3-0 (6-1) with this boros beatdown deck in #MTGSOS draft with some local friends last night. We redraft rares so I don't have all the cards depicted - so sealeddeck pic instead of a photo. Even formats I don't like are a blast in paper with friends. Deck killed FAST most games. #mtg #mtglimited

Sharing is caring. These big doofs recently realized they don't need to fight each other off #birds 🪶🪶
