3-1 in draft 1 and 0-1 in draft 2 in the Arena Open. Some brutal losses (aren't they all), the first to missing on any spell with UR Gandalf in play in five draws, the second to my RW opponent inexplicably having 4-color Aragorn. Never drew the One Ring sadly, maybe next time 🥲

@ErikRobson I'm going to have a very full day of writing this response to every tweet in my feed.
English
@ErikRobson Just to clarify, I intentionally didn't heart this tweet. It's not a bug. I looked at this tweet, and thought, nope, not gonna do it. Pass. Scroll on. I hope that eliminates any confusion.

@jessefuchs "Aw, I can't wait to click and see more of this adorable serv-- FUCK!"
On the plus side, if not for this serval posting bot, we never would have caught conclusive evidence of how demons are infiltrating our dimension.

@nheyman @Blizzard_Ent Nah, D4 is better because it doesn't kill off Deckard Cain

@Cristianohh @Doubelievengod Just get 3 of each of those track suits and I'm set for life.

@BunchesOfBees Yeah I am really enjoying it. It's been interesting to see how folks who didn't read the books have reacted to the show. Last 2 episodes are going to be a ride.
English
@still Fair! It may have been hyped up a bit much to me. Also I feel like the show is easily my fav new sci-fi of the last several years and, despite a slightly disjointed opening couple episodes, is really clever and tightly paced

As I’ve really been enjoying Silo, I started reading Wool—the novella series it’s based on—and wow they made some changes huh
English
@BunchesOfBees "Incredible writing" is not something I'd associate with it, if we're talking about the quality of the prose. And pacing-wise, it really is a collection of short stories and novellas. I quite enjoyed it, but do not expect it to ever become Gene Wolfe.
English
Also: I’d heard a lot how it has incredible writing “for a sci-fi novel” but as someone who reads a lot on the lit sci-fi and lit horror sides of things… I don’t see it! Maybe it picks up but so far it’s got big college short story energy imo

Haha, I suspected the speed runners would come for our save game crimes sooner or later.
Jill@ScrungusCrungus
There's a "trick" (read: bug) in Psychonauts which speedrunners have dubbed "Load Save Displacement". This trick not only lets them skip getting the cobweb duster, but also allows them to completely bypass Fred, Edgar, Gloria and even the Asylum climb. That's... pretty major.

@ErikRobson I did a one day jam with a few folks using Roblox, knowing almost nothing coming in. It was great being able to collab on multiplayer stuff almost effortlessly. Multiplayer by default is so rad.

damn this is the death knell for the Beautiful Baldur's Gate Portrait Redheads Who Just Say Shit to Me Through My Phone industry

Not to be too much of an AI Doomer but I just had a FaceTime call with a near realtime ChatGPT-powered AI avatar and it was…surprisingly human. Anyway, I recorded it. This is the actual response speed, it’s very fast. (You can also hear me kind of lose it towards the end)

@tom_forsyth I don't think they ever managed to decouple the 538 brand from Nate Silver's personal brand. With him out there's very little value.
English
Looks like they just shitcanned most of the 538 team. Whoever's left is going to have a crappy job with nobody around but a bunch of interns, and probably leave. At some point you have to ask why they even kept the brand.
English
@SeamusBlackley I get more into sports when things are going badly. In those times it’s nice to get really invested in something that just doesn’t fucking matter in the slightest.

@keescheese "What? No, I don't think working at a big tech company changes you, why do you ask?"
English
@keescheese You can avoid all this with the beauty of abstraction! You want an ItemInteractionDecisionFactory, which yields ItemInteractionAllowedQuery items, which we pass to our QueryEvaluationAsyncExecutor, which eventually returns... let's say a JSON string? #programmingisbeautiful

Heh, installed the Ultimate Guitar app and the starting process goes from asking if you’re a beginner to telling you need the “pro” level subscription to do anything in like five clicks
