Honestly, any card game besides MTG would be welcome. Be it Riftbound, FaB or another.

Tldr your computer's memory runs at half its speed by default because it's more stable and safe. To increase the speed to get more performance in video games you can unlock it in a menu called BIOS.

Also fyi, any kind of windows crash can reset your bios as well. It will try to boot in a more stable mode and will disable settings like xmp. Good practice to check your bios settings every time you get a bsod or other type of crash.

It's... complete. After more than a decade of following this series, I finally have the final volume. What a journey it's been. It's crazy to look back and remember what a different person I was when I started reading it. Thank you Vinland Saga, forever. 🌾

"We all get something out of respecting pronouns. The people that are requesting certain pronouns get the respect they feel they deserve and we're learning a little grammar and syntax."

Love these boys.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Join Bilbo Baggins, Thorin, Gandalf, and all your favorite characters on the journey to the Lonely Mountain! There may or may not be a dragon involved. #MTGxHobbit

The named characters from the post ride horses and ponies as they move along a path out of a lush green landscape dotted with hobbit homes.

Wow that's cool! I wonder if this method could be used for other vaccines as well.

I'm back from my US trip. Was a really great three weeks. Had the chance to meet up for the first time with my best friend that I met online years ago, which was amazing. She gave me my Kagurabachi mug that I asked her to buy for me from the M+ store, so that's being used immediately!

Kagurabachi mug filled with coffee with a stroopwafel on top getting slowly heated up.

Fuck. I don't even know what to say. Matt inspired me back in his scanlation days with his unending kindness and support. Needed an obscure 80s manga that had a tiny print run? Matt would help you find it and scan it for you, all because he loved the medium so much. I'll miss you, Matt.

Where did you hear this? I haven't kept up with the magazine while the series is on hiatus so I didn't see any announcement.

On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. #Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.

He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië. #BookSky

Thanks for the reminder, went ahead and subscribed to his Patreon. Honestly I should have done it earlier!

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.
