What in the fuckass dystopia is THIS

My greatest success this weekend was sleeping till Noon today. I needed that so badly 😅

Today in #FFXIV, I achieved something I've been working on for Years. I have finally completed the entire fishing log. Every fish, every expansion, every spectral current, every stupid big fish with a tiny window on a long cooldown. Just in time for them to add more in... 11 days. 😂

Quick question: Do you put the "1" waymark northwest or northeast?

Okay, this gets an instant wishlist for aesthetics and trailer music choice alone

If the latest MTG Standard flavor of the week deck has you bummed, try Pauper! I've been getting into it more and more, and most tournament top-8 worthy decks cost less than a single Badgermole cub right now.

If you struggle to build decks that aren't fully optimized, try this exercise:

Build your deck as optimized as you normally would. When you're done, set aside all of the cards you included and build ANOTHER deck without any of the cards you used in your first draft.

Helps things feel less same-y.

Will, a streamer with purple hair, glasses, and a black hoodie, looks curiously at the start screen for Star Vaders. The screen is designed to look like a classic arcade cabinet labeled Star Vaders with the text "Press any button to play" superimposed above.
