Timberborn screenshot. The crater from the previous screenshot is now partially filled with water. A bad tide is making it's way through the nearby river.

Is been about 8 months since I last played this. I had nearly completed a reservoir. Today, I managed to get it completed and partially filled before a bad tide came. Next project is diverting the bad tide altogether. One water source is ready, but the other is far away.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

This is a great one. Love the colors and silhouettes.

Shall I venture forth?

Picture is of a chai stall with the banner reading: ChaiGPT (Genuinely Pure Tea) Enhanced with AI (Adrak & ilaichi)

The ONLY AI I will allow!

For those wondering: Adrak means ginger and ilaichi means cardammom.

A proper Chai indeed, well deserving of that GPT. This Indian approves.

This one is really interesting to me. It looks like an almost-candid pre-expedition snapshot.

"Ok, let's get a quick photo in front of the ship before we head out! *click* Great!"

I've been using the tag line "some kind of wizard" in my profiles for a while now. I hope I'm not THIS kind of wizard.

I *STRONGLY* and full-throatedly endorse this declaration. That's why I signed it, and I hope you do too. NASA needs our help!

Get you some Oxidize, my friend. Who cares about enchantments? They'll never print so many crazy enchantments that you'll need that. Regeneration though.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

This sucks

Homarid Spawning Bed {U}{U} • Enchantment • {1}{U}{U}, Sacrifice a blue creature: Create X 1/1 blue Camarid creature tokens, where X is the sacrificed creature's mana value. • Fallen Empires (FEM) #21 • Illustrated by Dou...

I've always wanted an excuse to play Homarid Spawning Bed.

sorry but this sucks. consolidation is ruining space. we used to have lots of places to get sucked into an event horizon beyond comprehension and soon it’s just gonna be one infinitely dense point of matter. count me out

I had enough mana to play the dragon with haste and discover 15. Discover would have let me play another 10/10, but I think the opponent scooped a soon as the Earthquake Dragon hit the stack.

My silly Earthquake Dragon deck got to do the thing this time. It's not consistent, and I'm trying a few different cards like the tunnel grinder. This game, I had the right cards to build up and keep momentum.

Magic the Gathering Arena screenshot showing Vincent growing very large and facing an empty opponent board.

The opponent was not happy about me dropping Vincent and then having convenient spells to take out 9 power worth of creatures before swinging. I was barely holding on, but Vincent and a couple of perfect hits reversed the game.

I quit Twitter before it was cool. I walked away from 3.2M followers, and absolutely nothing changed in my life, other than fewer garbage people disrupting my peace.

There was little value then, and there is even less, now. Staying on Twitter is a moral and ethical failing, disguised as business.

So pretty you almost hate to tap them... almost. #MTGEternities

Magic the Gathering Arena screenshot showing an Honest Rutstein trigger and an opponent who conceded. There's also a bunch of big creatures vs one lone bird on the opponent's side.

We got Honest Rutstein being quite dishonest over here. He faked his own death and then was shepherded back from the grave. Opponent wasn't a fan.

Nice! I always thought it was pretty difficult, so I don't think I got very far in it. Might have to try again.

An old tube TV sits on the floor with the start screen for Tetris displayed. An NES controller and the TV remote sit in front of the TV.

My son recently found out that I have an NES. He's been into the Simpsons, and I told him I had an old Simpsons game. He really wanted to try it. This gave me an excuse to dig up all the bits and set it up again. It still works pretty well!
