Suris-> Baltimore summoner showdown!!

Cut sol ring from your decks

Oops, forgot I needed an epilogue... Anyways, now the beta reading phase.

Chapter 46 is finished, and so is draft one of the entire book. I did it

...we still remember fiction is fiction right? Like...there's no chance people forget that...right?

But it had a flared base!

Maybe if a company is developing an AI model that can be used to steal people's work and force them out of business as indie developers, instead of celebrating that... Ai bros could (redacted for funny reasons) with a spoon

2 chapters to go. Then its beta reader time and cleanup.

What a time for writer's block

Chapter...40....so close...

Closing in....

Writing act 3 now.

Ahhhhhhhh

Aight. That's enough bluesky for today. Twitter and Bsky are both beyond saving and I'm going to log off to go experience joy for a bit.

*sigh* Something being technically better Doesn't mean someone can't like the lesser thing. ...fuck I hate fandom.

Gunna pour the angst into writing. I don't spiral well. But I do spite work well.

Well shit. Looks like I can't do magiccon. Tickets are sold out. I mean, I was waiting till I got my YouTube paycheck that was actually significant in order to afford said tickets. But meh.

86k words.....

Insurance: you pay for this thing then we pay you back Us: cool! Insurance: denies paying you back Us: ex-fucking-scuse?

Y'all I think the daily wire's advertising team sucks. I can do better.

Did Google docs just autocorrect grim reaper to time reaper? What in the gemini is this?

AI isn't coming for your jobs. Billionaires are using AI as an excuse to come for your jobs ...so you've got two enemies, not one. Burn down data centers accordingly. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

At self checkout you can really tell who's been a grocery bagger and who hasn't

This. We do not need to Roach in WoW,,the game survived without him. And will continue to do so. 30k people joined because of him? This game has had 11million before. Without him. Blizzard should be comfy using Raid spray before they make a new Raid tier.

Me for 25 years of my life. ...I'm 75k words in and fixing that now

All right how many of you are in the wow forever beta?

I'm begging and pleading. People please Never ever ever eat with your mouth open. Those sounds are disgusting .... especially when I have to hear them on the airplane.

On the bright side found this little guy in the airport

So, got sakii's bottom surgery consultation. We're not super thrilled.

Ooooooowooo, we're halfway there...

Idk, maybe it's just the side effect of "bracket 3 tournament lol"

Tale as old as time. New commander had an infinite combo available by casting a single card. "Bracket 3" I'm fucking tired, boss.

I think I just hate parallel play. I don't hate people taking massive turns generally, but it feels like most of commander now is just watching an opponent do their thing and just ..waiting. I've no interest in cedh, and I'm honestly just getting tired of edh being pumped up by wotc.

Man, not feeling any dopamine from playing commander feels...weird. I don't like it.

Onto Chapter 20. Though I maaayyyy have written something incredibly fucked up in the last chapter....

18 chapters in

I think that's a good place to stop writing for tonight. 16 chapters in. My outline had the plot beat I'm on happening around chapter 7. Then I just kept fleshing out earlier bits. Oops.

Wow players being upset about the skyborne is hilarious. Seriously y'all, shut up. You got high elves and blizz tied them into thunder fury blessed blade of the wind seeker. It's literally classic memes in a nutshell. Everything y'all said you wanted. ..anyways I am going to be playing on launch

I'm beginning to think that magic the gathering players are generally antisocial.

FUNDED!! Thank you all so much for all of your support! Be it sharing the campaign around, sending anything in, or just leaving a very kind comment! None of this would be possible without everything you guys have done. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all, so much.

One final note: Lucian matchup I should be choosing to go second. Never Ever Ever Ever Let that fucker turn 1 Lucian.

Now for the awkward part of any con when you're alone. ...what the fuck do I do with day 3? Coming back isn't super appealing, I did my event, I got my reps in. Now I need to be productive

Oh That was my barometer to measure myself against today. Haru is... Not making it to day 2 either? But he got like 5th at his last.major tourney right? Man it's rough out there for akali players I guess.

Match 7 Jax. Honestly. Decent build, but I 2-0'd. I maintained good point temp all game and held on 22 with a back off for the win. No real notes, I think I did everything correctly, I abused a stellacorn and empowered akali to find all my answers Had 12 cards left in deck.

Note: I am tempted to drop out of the showdown now. I know I'm slightly tilted, and while there's merit to playing to acclimate myself back to that state of mind and fighting through it, I'm also not certain the opponents I'll fight in the 2-4 brackets will yield any helpful data.

Feedback for riot: Please stop using "play" to refer to everything in this game. Blinking a card should not be considered playing a card. Maybe it's my mtg brain but ETB vs. cast is important to that game, but in riftbound they're the same thing. And I think that's very wrong.
