    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's real old news at this point, I did notice it getting another uptick in headlines the other day tho. Skimmed through a couple of the articles this weekend and couldn't figure out why it's back in the news as if it's new. Was decided months ago.

    Yeah even Wolverine as a more commonly known exception, just didn't feel like being the best kind of correct last night, got my idea across in fewer words. :P

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Yeah not gonna go opening weekend. I'd prefer the Monday matinee since that showing has subtitles (I'm hard of hearing) but she works weekdays so... Probably weekend 2 or weekend 3 for us.

    X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

    In the comics, people with the X-gene didn't start showing up til the 1900s and only slowly started being born more and more as the century went on. Can easily just shift that forward to the point where people are only just now in 2019/2020 having active mutations show up.

    ^^ Lost first round to Izzet Drakes, then went on to finish with an overall 3-1 record. Guy I lost to in the first round was one of only two to enter the final round with a 3-0 record. Wrote out sideboard plans for Sultai, Mono-U, Mono-W, Mono-R, Control, and Nexus. Completely blanked out on...

    The PSP version is regarded to be the best version. Faithful to the original but with welcome quality and content additions is what I've read.

    "inverted power chords" is I think the term that Jeff Hanneman used for them in his old Guitar World column

    Typed those tabs from memory, picked up my guitar earlier and realized I play G5 -> A5 rather than those inverted power chords I wrote there. Tho either works okay, but the way I originally wrote doesn't sound quite as nice.

    I've been drinking those for a long time, they're great. Definitely feels like they're better for you than the regular carbonated soda style drinks. Might just be placebo but hey ignorance is bliss if so.

    MTG: Arena

    Thought Erasure + Duress and Divest has been really strong for me, tho I need to work on my late game. Had a couple opponents concede on turn 3 after hitting them with Thought Erasure + Duress on both turn 2 and turn 3. Kind of a bummer having four of your cards ripped out of your hands before...

    Lavinia, Azorius Renegade is really powerful in this, lol. Counters any spell that was cast without mana. Surprised this is the first opponent I've seen play one

    Took four games before I realized that instants casted on your opponent's turn also Cascade. Wilderness Reclamation Flash deck maybe?

    MTG: Arena

    This Cascade event is interesting. Right now I'm running a green stompy deck in it, but I'm brainstorming some ways to exploit the Cascade effect... Casting Spectacle cards at their lower cost allows for more powerful Cascades per mana spent. If you want to go control-ish you can have Duress...

    a few weeks ago i decided to have a cheat day and got a Double Cheesy Gordita Crunch. the regular Cheesy Gordita Crunch was my favorite item before i went keto, so i figured the Double would be amazing. it wasn't... maybe i just had a poorly made one, but it was super dry and tasteless.

    and MTGO doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Arena has. even just the fact that every Mythic card in Arena has a unique animation means a TON more work when adding in old sets.

    MTG: Arena

    yeah i agree lately as far as BO3. lots of people talking about how this is one of the best Standard eras in a long time, but i'm not too keen on any of the Tier 1 decks. too many good "answer" cards in the format i think, currently it's not a battle of which player can get the best plan...

    one expansion at a time would be really awkward, and releasing it all at once would take a LOT of work, making all the art assets and coding all the rules and etc. i think you're right in this one, that Modern will eventually be in Arena, but i don't think it'll happen for several years at this...

    there IS a distinction, tho. Arena is just one small aspect of MTG. but yeah i guess it was already decided, so alright.

    i also really dislike seafood in general. wish i didn't, would make the keto life a bit easier if i did, but eh. seafood always tastes like it's spoiled to me, even when it's fresh.

    Almost forgot to post about that season finale... Episode felt REALLY rushed. To the point of being sloppy. It easily should have been a two-parter, and I almost wonder if it originally was but got edited down. Really disappointing end to the series if this truly is the end. They made sure...
