Found that to be really fun piece of control when I used it in a budget Lulu / Street Urchin tappers list.

On this subject, I always think back to a point that @tietuesday.bsky.social once made in an LP of some edgy Pokemon romhack - broadly, that Pokemon is ALWAYS for the next generation of kids and that it never needs to grow up with you. Just enjoy it, and enjoy sharing it with your kids together.

Premier League relegation battle 2025/26: Odds, table, fixtures and predictions Leeds, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are the clubs currently in danger of Premier League relegation alongside Wolves and Burnley, with time running out - here, we look at each teams fixtur...

@optaanalyst.optajoe.com have given Wolves a 99% chance of relegation, Burnley 99%, West Ham 53% and Forest 30%. 16th-placed Spurs have just an 8% chance of relegation, but their form is dire.

To dare is to do, Spurs. There's never been a better time to defy the odds and go down πŸ˜†

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Interesting! I use LibreOffice these days since moving away from Google and Microsoft stuff in the wake of the AI boom but I do miss some of the functionality and form of the latter. Hopefully office eu avoids AI nonsense and it might be a viable option.

Love this list! Reminds me I must pick up those SLDs at some point - I definitely want to build an Ellie + Ellie partner deck with TLOU cards in the future πŸ˜…

My UB-only lists are:

Absolute joy in a single picture, frankly - PTCG's had some wonderful cards over the years.

My collection is getting there - there's only a handful of cards left in this pile/mildly playable Gen 1 cube that need to be deproxied (mostly it's the really really expensive stuffπŸ˜…)

Best I could suggest is muting terms I think. Not a perfect solution but might help thin them out a bit?

In a broad sense. He's more generally a parody of the wave of dark and gritty vigilante heroes of the time - Eastman said of him he was like if Daredevil didn't have a tragic backstory but instead was inspired by violent TV shows and movies.

You know a game's struck a chord when it refuses to leave your head. Spent the whole walk to and from dropping my smol off at nursery thinking about it. Incredible, privileged to get a perspective that I have never had. More important than ever that people experience these kinds of narratives now.

2026 gaming backlog #8 - Venba (PC)

A heartbreaking narrative puzzle game that uses cooking sections to underscore a powerful story about immigration and parenthood. Absolutely beautiful.

I love it. The one thing I'd have liked is a Last Ronin commander, but otherwise this set hits so much of what I enjoy about one of comic's weirdest universes πŸ˜… I'm 100% going to build a TMNT-only deck, and then I'm going to collect the set.

They're like normal wills but they take four times as long and the solicitor does a lute solo in the middle.

SSRI brain fog is so unbelievably hard to navigate. Every time I sit down I feel like my mind leaks out of my head and I realise I've spent all my time just blank and staring. Non-functioning. Empty.

Ecstatic that the Green Party scored a win in yesterday's by-election. It's one thing to have vocal support but that it turned into tangible votes and a seat in Parliament is proof that Labour's far-right pandering is driving voters to a real, alternative, and progressive choice.
