I don’t pay a lot of attention to fonts, so I might not have noticed the Twitter font change if so many people weren’t talking about it

And even if it does all end, even if civilisation crumbles, even if we are the last ever generation of humans to walk this earth, let’s not waste our precious last few decades on doom and defeatism. Let’s hold onto out hope, our humanity and our very real power to make change.

I thought I was done with #mtgafr, limited but in the wee hours of the morning earlier I threw some gems away on the draft challenge. RW pile went 0-2 (boo!), UR went 4-2 (better, but still not happy with it). I should stop letting the format keep drawing me back in lol

After last night’s terrible W/L record in the final #mtgafr draft stream, I decided to do an off-stream quick draft just so I hit platinum by Aug 10. Naturally this was the one where I managed to get 7 wins lol

THE SUICIDE SQUAD spoiler-free review:

great, fun, violent, hilarious, possibly best of DCEU so far
trailers have spoiled waaaay too much of this movie
first act was ok, second act felt a bit meh, third act was great

hard to comment on actor performances without spoiling things, but Daniela Melchior was great and Idris Elba took the role seriously
there is a post-credits scene

Full review on the blog later

Managed to clear the #mtgarena Standard Open in just under an hour using @urlichmtg ’s Monowhite Book list. Wasted a bunch of gems though, since I had a first run that was plagued by network issues on my end. Still, looking forward to day 2!

[2021-08-02 02:06] Unfortunately, day 2 didn’t go quite as well. Finished day 2 at 5-2, just short of cash prizes! Such is life. Deck was a great choice though! BO3 decklist attached for reference.

The draft deck was decent, but lacked removal. Draft didn’t go well, and network even crapped out for me towards the end, so I didn’t bother with a second one. Finished 2-3.

#Loki spoiler-free review:

overall plot was fine, if not predictable, given what we knew about mcu phase 4 going in
weak pacing and writing in most episodes; could have easily been a two hour movie instead of six one hour episodes
good watch for mcu fans because of the larger phase 4 implications, but much weaker as a standalone series

A couple of movies we watched during our Saturday gaming session yesterday:

America the Motion Picture (2021). Alternate history retelling of American revoluion, complete and utter nonsense. Good fun and we had a few laughs, but I really hope no American takes it seriously.
Ice Road (2021). Random Liam Neeson action flick that we actual started last Saturday. Somehow they managed to make a two hour movie about driving a truck across the ice. I thought it would be better than it was because it had Laurence Fishburn, but I guess that’s not really a good basis. One of those films where I wouldn’t have minded sitting through it on cable, if I was busy doing something else.
