"What would you do if AI suddenly disappeared?" The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world! Or just live my life as I normally do because I don't outsource my cognitive abilities to autocomplete with delusions of grandeur.

Dave. I play a lot of Magic. I used to play lots of DnD. Very bad at League of Legends. Geek, Scientist, Sports fan, Cynic. Brexit made me Swedish. He/Him.
You mean AI would no longer be getting in the way and pissing me off, especially all that shit I can't deactivate? Sign me up yesterday.
Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social · 22h agoMy answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
It amazes me that in business - sports and gaming industry apparently especially - tge practice of buying something with money you don't have or have neans to pay off (as would be the case with a mortgage for example) is so widespread.

"Only for con goers". Remembering that the vast majority of Magiccon attendees stand little to no chance of getting any either. In a sane world where WotC give a damn about their customers and their IP, this set is given the general release slot Marvel occupied.
Hugmonger - The Splice Of Life@hugmonger.bsky.social · 3d agoSo yeah... MBC is a confirmed con exclusive product. That really sucks... This is an awesomely made product that is only for convention goers. youtube.com/shorts/qM1Js...
These Mystery Booster Commander edition spoilers look cool and all, but this set won't see general release so it's just teasing us with what we could have instead of more Marvel or Star Trek shit.
The obvious answer to me is any three from Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast", "Piece of Mind", "Powerslave", "Somewhere in time", "Seventh son of s seventh son". Sepultura "Arise", "Chaos AD", "Roots" is strong. Europe "Final Countdown", "Out of this World", "Prisoners in Paradise" are underrated.

Anything related to that individual, especially bearing their name, is utterly tainted because we know what that person is. Openly. They don't conceal who and what they are, and it's repugnant. Your reputation cannot be more damaged than the smoking wreckage it already is.
I didn't look like this, but being in the second line of healthcare wasn't much fun. Endless blood gas levels, patients with sky high ferritin levels... just having to be in close proximity knowing what our colleagues were going through. It was .... a time.
💉Josh Rubin, MD@drsandman11.medsky.social · 6d agoAll due respect, if you didn’t look like this in the spring of 2020, I don’t really care about your opinion of Dr Fauci
We should normalise "one version of a given legendary" as a deckbuilding goal in commander. Not an absolute, because I know there are "all the versions of character x" decks (chandra.dec for example, or my Niv-Mizzets) out there, but the norm. Choose the one that fits best, or go all in.
This is justification of my personal "one version of a character per deck" rule*. Simic Landfall elves looks terrifying, and yes I have a Malaren deck - which I'm trying to keep as an elf-fairy mix (approx 60-40 atm). * my Tiamat Dragons approach Niv-mizzet typal deck doesn't count, ok?
Beamtown Artisan, Lorehold Visiting Professor@beamtownartisan.bsky.social · last wk.Well shoot.
In fairness, I think this is intended as a joke. The most obviously ridiculous card possible.
CobertMTG 🔜 Pokemon XP!@cobertmtg.bsky.social · last wk.Another banger from this group I forgot to post this is custom card which is Indestructible, makes one of every permanent in the game, deals 100 damage to anything… …and THEN wins the game. Card is just hooting and hollering.
That scream you heard was me trying to work out what I can take out of my Bears deck for these. I think I have candidates, but it's gonna hurt.

catsinfrance@catsinfrance.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen Thatcher brought in right-to-buy for tenants of council houses, the councils were not allowed to use the proceeds to build new stock. Those of us working in local authorities at the time could see it happening.

Every interaction I have had with the fine folk at LRR has been positive. Good people who make brilliant, varied content. Love you, @loadingreadyrun.com
Old Hobbes 🔜 Private Practice@hobbesq.bolasgang.com · 2w agoY'all how about just a good old fashioned appreciation post for the folks from LRR?
Magiccon has left me with the nagging feeling that I would like to try and produce some sort of content, but I know how bloated the "market" is and that there really are not any niches unfilled. Considering making a few videos about my decks and seeing if there is any interest at all in that.
Spice is a force of nature, a beacon of sanity in a mad world, and simultaneously a glorious nutcase. Meeting it at Magiccon was a joy.
Spice8Rack@spice8rack.bsky.social · 2w ago#MCAmsterdam was immense. £3,100 raised for @warchilduk.bsky.social🥳 PLUS: - A Hatsune Miku cosplay - A Marx recitation - Games of chess - Meetings of friends, old & new Oh, and there was probably some Magic played, in amongst The Gathering. Love you all 💞 Back to work now. See you in a month!
Major respect for being able to do this, but it does also sound like she's trying to summon a demon.
