Work has been absolutely insane but it's Thursday so I get to play Commander with friends. Tonight, I am joined by @octaviascratch.bsky.social @ryan.wubrgsky.org @gathersomewhere.bsky.social twitch.tv/ogcmdr starting now ... Commander the way it was meant to be played :)

Dinner at the Plumed Horse tonight, fantastic as always. Even more impressive though, my wife's non-alcoholic pairing, based on seven different tea based cocktails and wines, is somehow even better than my wine pairing. Absolutely unreal flavors.

In all seriousness, this is a startling achievement for GPT-6 Astra. kenforthewin.github.io/blog/posts/l... (This is GPT-6 Astra beating Nethack on its 3rd try. Nethack is the original roguelike and one of the most famously hard games of all time. I have played a lot, and I've never ascended)

A haiku: TODAY IS THURSDAY. Thursday is not Wednesday. Weird. AND YET, we will stream. Ravnica Remastered tonight baybeee. See you at 10pm Eastern! twitch.tv/SteelCityMTG

No stream for me tonight, sadly. Got pulled into an all night debugging session/code red, and I might still be going by this evening...and if not, I'll be sleeping. Take care ya'll :)

Thursday night stream on twitch.tv/ogcmdr - Commander the way it was meant be played :) This week's guests are @cncpowerhour.com @janeplaysmagic.bsky.social and @cmassive13.bsky.social ... a better group of friends you couldn't ask for :) See y'all there!

Cool approach from some old friends.

Last year I set myself a goal to complete my first century ride and with a few weeks left before my 50th birthday I finished it today :) 101 miles in 8:45 pedaling, plus two breaks for food and one break for a flat tire (at mile 94! But I managed to fix it roadside). Feels good man.

twitch.tv/ogcmdr ... EDH the way it was meant to be played :) This week's guests are format legend Alex Kenny, internet legend Ruben Bressler, and legendary game promoter Khanye :) We're off to a crazy start with some silly cards already on the battlefield... feel free to hang out :)

As Malgon comes back home he is greeted by sites he neve thought possible especially after granting a warning. Join us tonight with our guests @genomancer.bsky.social and @crowdthenpc.bsky.social on the purple app at 8:30pm EST to hear. The greatest story never told. Link Below ⬇️

Spiders take the championship! It's been a long time but feels great to bring it back to the bay :)

Hey guys! You would not believe how many quarters you can get from a grown up job!!

Annnnd we're back :) twitch.tv/ogcmdr ... Commander the way it was meant to be played :) After two weeks off, I'm joined by @telliott.bsky.social @infinitokens.com and LetsGatherSomewhere for some games. Feel free to hang out.

I'm a sucker for a scavenger hunt :)

hey Bluesky finally fell asleep at 7am and just got up. I got about 25% toward my goal, so tonight I'm back on and continuing the push, I'll be on at 1030, streaming as long as I can to raise money to pay my rent see y'all tonight, and if you happen to want to help: www.ko-fi.com/presidentnoir

I hate to miss two weeks in a row, but no stream for me tonight on OGcmdr. Still on the road and adventuring in the wilds... see you all next week!

Ignore the thumbnail, as always Zvi's take on AI risks is relevant:

Wanna know why I love Pendragon? Cause I just died to a Primordial Pachyderm carrying The Spear of Leonidas while being targeted by Ttianic Growth. That is how this game is meant to be played :D

I've been enjoying Pendragon a lot lately, so on tonight's stream I get to jam Excaliburs against @brujajagaming.bsky.social @leonardoestranho.bsky.social and @thattcgguy.bsky.social which, if you know anything about this game is absolutely gonna be EDH the way it was meant to be played.

We DID it chat!! :D :D :D

Friends of the format! (That's you) twitch.tv/ogcmdr (That's us) Tonight, we game :) @thepresidentnoir.com @quad9s.bsky.social @indominus-lux.bsky.social

Made it back from a week at scout camp, alive and no less sane :) And now I get to join twitch.tv/tryingcasuallygames for some charity fundraising for Commander Sealed and Trans Lifeline. Come hang out :)

Couple of days off so I finally took the time to build my Da Vinci Lego flying machine. I know it's not big, but it's a really really neat set. One of my favorites I think.

Back from celebrating Canada Day and getting ready for the big game on Saturday, but for now... we game! This week's pod is some very old friends and family and promises to be extra goofy :) twitch.tv/ogcmdr @tobyelliott.bsky.social @arizonaangels.bsky.social @wildryc.bsky.social

Looking for recommendations. What are your top five quality brand loyalties? Great equipment that isn't famous but is just great stuff? Mine... 1. Nemo camping gear 2. Oxo cooking 3. Saxx boxers 4. Heavy Play sleeves 5. Giro biking

Finally got a chance to watch Predator Badlands. Based on all the allegories, someone on that script team was a HUGE Rudyard Kipling fan.

twitch.tv/ogcmdr That's where I get to hang out on Thursdays to play some Commander with cool people like these, and like you :) Going live now, come thruuuuu :) @martishiusmagic.bsky.social @girlsplaining.bsky.social and @abar :)

portsherry.com/comic/lizard/ You. Are. Not. Alone.

LOOK AT THESE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN. WHEN THE CLOCKS STRIKE 1030 PM EST THE BOYS WILL BE CRANKIN SOME EDH! FEATURING: @findingafourth.bsky.social @genomancer.bsky.social @arnettjonathan.bsky.social COME THROUGH OR WELL'LL TELL EVERYONE YOU MAKE SMOREA WITHOUT CHOCOLATE (okay I do that...)

twitch.tv/ogcmdr ... Commander, the way it was meant to be played :) This week's awesome guests: @strixhavendropout.bsky.social @darkpactcosplay.bsky.social @gamerdadbob.bsky.social

Heh. #iykyk

Got a late start today AND I forgot to hit submit on this awesome pod, but we're still jamming at twitch.tv/ogcmdr late into the night. Feel free to come join us for some Commander, the way it was meant to be played :) @jjmickeymedia.bsky.social @brujajagaming.bsky.social @yosoyepic.bsky.social

I forgot to post in advance, but we're live now and jamming with Joe, Jose, and Jose... it's gonna be a bizarre adventure :) twitch.tv/ogcmdr @thetropicalnerd.bsky.social @floodedstrands.bsky.social sky.social @joekilcarrva.com

For my kid's birthday party, I gave each guest a legend from a pile I had kicking around, then let them build commander decks from a dozen long boxes of old uncommons. Four hours later and they're still jamming unsleeved decks on spare playmats and I think I have a new favorite format.

Streaming tonight with @usagikaede1.bsky.social @commandzoe.bsky.social and @mjvariant.bsky.social on twitch.tv/ogcmdr Come through!

Back from Vegas, and many parties, poker, fancy dinners, and even some EDH :) Appropriately, tonight's twitch.tv/ogcmdr stream is many good old friends :). @steelcitysteph.bsky.social @arizonaangels.bsky.social and @skajohnny.bsky.social no less! Commander, the way it was meant to be played!

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

The takeaways from today's D&D session with @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com are, and I paraphrase @persephiroth.bsky.social, a series of after-school PSAs: Don't drink (unknown substances), don't crash (flying) school busses, and don't walk on roses. Definitely don't do all of them together ;)

Hanging at the con, settling in to watch @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com run some goons through an awesome Strixhaven D&D adventures :)

Hmmm, can I wear a team Canada jersey to a pool party on Sunday night?? ;)

For tonight's stream I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure, of introducing to you... @jenfilthymtgcasual.bsky.social, @donifmtgc.bsky.social, and @strixhavendropout.bsky.social twitch.tv/ogcmdr ... EDH the way it was meant to be played :)
