Congrats on donating!

My blood type is perfect for donating plasma... But my veins are unreliable enough that they can't put the two lines in at once which are required for that 😔

Can I interest you in... youtu.be/zZzDP-vQXao

Alas it is not available in Australia 😥

I played so much World of Illusion with my sister as a kid, without ever coming close to beating the game 🤣

This kind of article is my favourite thing about the internet - it gives me nostalgia for the early 2000s and was a joy to read, thank you

GWBRU - least confident about B and R

Not American but we see it (and worry)

"And what do you do?"

..."yes"

What about your DCI membership card?

Oh hey I just got one and they asked for feedback 🙄

I don't want AI(LLM) summaries of anything. I don't want Meta AI to pop up when I tap a search bar, I don't want Gemini as my voice assistant, I absolutely don't want Copilot baking itself into Windows... But it's freaking impossible to opt out of most of this 😤

A Spotify Wrapped imagine showing my top artist for the year - electronic ambient duo Freescha, with 413 minutes listened

I don't listen to podcasts via Spotify but this Wrapped top artist is a pretty big hint that I listened to a lot of @midnightburger.bsky.social this year, and the music in the Young Lief mini-series really lodged in my brain.

This is a plug for both the artist and the podcast, btw. Treat your ears!

I had discovered ALT but not CTRL, thank you for improving my game experience!

Hello I bought this game last week and I am now sleep deprived because I have stayed up hours after my bedtime three nights running and it's all your fault this game is great.

(The campaign feels brutally hard but maybe I just need more reps?)

Thanks for the reminder to check on mine! Although I guess pihole doesn't need a ton of maintenance?

We could check with @foxesforsale.bsky.social who is surely a fox expert

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

But I want people to groan at them. It's basically the equivalent of applause!

(There's a part of me which revels in watching the light of hope fade from someone's eyes when they get it)

Judged an RCQ today - great to have 17 players jamming Standard, felt a little like the Before Times ❤️

Shoutout to the player who registered Kogla & Yidaro /and/ Roxanne in their sideboard, and proceeded to cycle one then play the second in back to back turns of their first T8 match

They look amazing! Can I preorder if I'm not in the US? Or do I have to wait and then pay full price on Amazon when they launch?

I don't think you have any Australian stockists yet, right?

A picture of a Magic the Gathering Draft deck - black and white cards from the latest set Foundations, including some powerful angels

I didn't post much on the bird site but I like the vibe here more. Here's my first paper FDN deck from FNM last week. Went 2-1, losing to the new white flash Platinum Angel and a protection spell - the deck was a bit light on removal but I had a blast doing Giada nonsense

An oversized print of the TARDIS magic card hangs on a door. A smaller TARDIS that's actually a CD rack is also visible in the picture.

Love this! I was lucky enough to get my hands on an oversized TARDIS at an Australian Regional Championships... it's now on the door to my Magic closet.

(As you might guess from the CD rack in the lower right, we are TARDIS fans in this house 😁)

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

Mono-Green Devotion was my first proper Standard deck, I loved this card.

I got so used to resolving the cast trigger, the first time I cast a Dig Through Time I shuffled the cards in rather than bottoming them and got a warning 😅

I strongly recommend people who are complaining about quiet feeds and are following a decent amount of people check this setting below. I once had it turned up to 25 likes (how I have no idea) and I was seeing no replies at all (none of the people I follow are that popular yet 😛)
