So basically a mini kiev:

2nd Round: I played creatures. My opponent stole them and killed me with them. Multiple times. I lost two rounds in about 15 mins, and spent 25 mins considering my life choices.

Dave Fisher@fishiwan· Jun 20

First Round: My opponent was returning to Magic after years away. He played excruciatingly slowly. He was playing 5 colours because he pulled Thanos. He activated the 'snap' 3 times, clearing my board each time. I lost the second game with less than 10 mins on the round.

The little that is on Rider Wiki about Dawn suggests that him existing at all is a whole thing, and there's no way Kousei Amano looks this good for a brief appearance.

It's not the Piccadilly line, but it's pretty on point.

The notification on my phone showing that there are 12 stops until I need to get off of my tube train, as I return home from seeing The Feeling playing the whole of their album "Twelve Stops and Home".

With the TMNT Magic set in March, I guess now is the perfect time?

Proof of life and dinner. Kevin is the wizard who made everything be cooked at the same time, and I'm very glad that he did.

Xmas dinner for 2 on our temporary dining table. We have a cracker and an origami swan each, because we bought a packet of festive serviettes, and what else are we going to do with them?

Me, in my paper Xmas crown adding cranberry "sauce" to my meal. (It was set like a french yogurt from the 80s)

At first glance I thought, "that's a curious design for a speaker." Turns out that I was correct.

An advert on a white background.

Picture: Two airpod-looking earphones with long stick parts displayed in front of what is best described as a buttplug wearing a disguise to hide amongst Apple-branded audio equipment.

And for reference:

I've really considered myself rubbish at drafting 3-colour sets, but look: 7-2 in a TDM draft!

The end screen for a TDM draft on MTGA, showing that I won 7 games before I got a 3rd loss, earning me the maximum reward from the event.

Finally did this Alex Ross jigsaw that I was gifted 3-4 years ago. Only took me two sittings to complete, but it's certainly helped justify the purchase of this table.

A completed 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle depicting five versions of famous Marvel Comics covers painted by Alex Ross. They are each in his detailed, realistic, painted style, and include Fantastic Four #1, Amazing Fantasy #15, X-Men #1, Avengers #4, and his original art for the TPB of Marvels.

It's Xmas.

Me in a tuxedo with green Xmas-tree-patterned bowtie & pocket square, a green cracker Xmas hat, and a decorative Xmas tree (on a hairband) on my head. My barely-visible cufflinks match my bowtie/pocket square.

I have no idea how the algorithm chose this one.

An advert on Instagram stories from "AmazonUK" advertising what appears to be a CD titled "Chris Tarrant's Millennium House Party". The cover art is a bad photoshop of Chris Tarrant's face on the front person in a stock image of partygoers covered in confetti. A link imported me to "SHOP NOW".

I feel like this accolade is more to do with a low Japanese userbase for YouTube Music than me being a big listener, but I have listened to the entirety of her newest album multiple times a week for the last few months 🤷🏻

Screen from my YouTube Music Recap 2024 saying that I am in the top 0.8% of listeners to Sheena Ringo on the service. I listened 15x as much as the average listener. Apparently.

Dave Fisher@fishiwan· Dec 4

How much?!?

Xbox Series X update screen error message. It reads: "Clear some space on Internal Storage: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle needs 263.1 GB additional space for its update."

My ex definitely remembers this, but I don't think I've heard it mentioned by anyone else ever.

Title card for a TV show called Dare To Believe. It's the show's name in blue caps superimposed on the forehead of a desaturated pic of a man, shown from the bridge of the nose up.

Reskeet the profile picture

Me facing slightly to the side of the camera: Number 1 buzzcut, thick-rimmed squarish glasses, mustache on top of salt-and-pepper stubble. The pic is mirrored but I prefer it to the reversed version, so I use it everywhere.

Budget and standards appear to have fallen.

Two temporary, fluorescent pink arrows point in the same direction away from the London lamppost that they're attached to. They read "UNIT" and "BASE". Unpictured: Sea devils are delighted.

Your Baby's A Bastard?

Made it to the final city of this massive Japan trip and bumped into this other guy from Tipton at the DDT show. What are the chances?

Chris Brookes and I, sharing V-signs with you.

This is the best type of AI. It has a goal, it makes decisions, it hinders its opponent. It's a board, with 2 wooden discs and 6 cards. It beat me thoroughly.

The AI board for Wayfarers of the South Tigris. It has a stated goal at the top that It will try to get worker cards. It has a tracker in the middle that cycles around to make choices based on the resources it receives. It has a tracker on the left to determine if the human player gets a bonus for "most comets". It has a 6-card deck on the left that presents an option it would like to take which costs resources, and a fallback option that gains resources. When 3 of the same colour cards have been played, refresh actions are made and it's reshuffled. It's a board with two wooden discs and six cards, and it beat me.

Dave Fisher@fishiwan· Mar 31

Finally made the time to play a boardgame I've had for 3 months: Wayfarers of the South Tigris. I like how deep it is, but I always find that my first game against the AI in Garphill games leads to me losing massively.

Endgame board state from Wayfarers of the South Tigris: Solo Mode. The human player has *some* of the world mapped out. The AI board has a thick stack of scoring cards.

Sometimes I look up videos of old ads on YouTube. Often, there's gold to be found. The women of 1989 loved *checks notes* the fluids in young skin???

Capture from the end of a 1989 TV advert for Oil of Ulay. There is a bottle of the product next to a caption: "LIKE THE FLUIDS IN YOUNG SKIN"

I should definitely be working, but I got Capaldi on Doctor Who Thirteen and I'm pretty buzzed by it. This is like getting 8192 in a regular game of 2048.

A game over screen from the Doctor-Who-themed 2048 clone on the official BBC website. The grid includes Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor, who is the equivalent of 8192 in regular 2048.

Just two bros, hanging out.

Kasuga Ichiban & Kasama Kiryu on the pause screen for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Kiryu is dressed in sensible trousers and a black shirt, with a grave expression. Ichiban has wild hair, a goofy grin, jorts, and a loud Hawaiian shirt.

Pretty pink sleeves.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 kansei!

The "Results" screen from after the credits of Yakuza Kiwami 2. The game was completed on Normal in 78:45:19 with 303/303 Completion Items Completed, 33/33 Heat Actions, 34/34 Life Skills, and 55/56 Battle Skills.

On my lunch I finished my 20th game of the year: New Super Lucky's Tale! It's a fun, if straightforward, 3D platformer, with a lot of charm. My favourite NPC interaction:
