It's amazing how Gen AI took the garbage-in garbage-out model, and ensured that regardless of input, you always get garbage-out. It's really an impressive feat of engineering to spend so much time and effort on trash production.

Why yes, Journey Together is a fun set, full of beautiful cards. So glad folks have been able to get product this time around.

This is how I learned the card game, played through this a couple times. Final prep for Atlanta is a playthrough of this again.

This was my play for Atlanta this weekend, ended up 4-3-2 for a few championship points. Definitely could have cleaned up my play a little and inched towards Day 2. Overall super happy with the prep, this deck didn't draw badly all weekend.

One extra note here, TV speakers suck, laptop speakers suck. Most of this generation simply don't have good audio. Yes, audio mixing is sometimes bad, but TVs used to have nice big front facing speakers built in. Our audio setups are awful.

This was so good, lovely piece of writing. Players Tribune always delivers, but this piece (!!)

Sylveon in the active and chill. It's always nice when some of my favourite Pokemon have good cards too 🔥

I think this is true of most musicians. The angle of decline and the starting point change, but on average albums 4-6 are worse than albums 1-3.

I'm begging Google to be a serious company. Maybe one day they'll figure it out, but it's not today...

Every thirty to forty years? Happened way more frequently in Edinburgh, always around this time, right before festival season. Give them their due!

This is a big problem. As AI image generation gets better, and as Apple/Samsung et al add more AI processing to phone cameras, we have an issue of real life becoming indistinguishable from AI. Retvrn, but to Polaroid and Kodak.

Play more often, play more better.

Looking at the two Kanye albums on this list, I'm now wondering if he even has one 10/10 album. I don't think either of these are worth a 10, but then I don't think anything else is notably better...

Top 4 yesterday with sub-optimal (but my favourite) Eevee Box. Been playing this since rotation and while it threads a tight line, this deck has answers for everything you're likely to play against. Don't even think it's bad into the first Megas format, but we'll see...

No Milwaukee trip for me, but in true fashion keeping up the Eevee propaganda, I'd play something very close to this next weekend if I was going.

Had a good week playing Raging Bolt again, won a challenge and T4 at a cup yesterday with the rocks. Unfavoured into Garde, but everything else is pretty smooth.
