Just don't gamble with MTG cards?

Feels like it was fairly middle-of-the-road?

So what you're saying is I should have chosen the other box?

Ah, thanks! I'm still very much in a post-COVID bubble, but that's wild to hear and glad it's back.

Wait ... did ManRay reopen??

I feel like "and the gameplay was updated" is usually what ruins a "remastering" for me 99% of the time.

The other part of the equation is how much pressure they got from Capcom when the reception was so weak and things like actual typos were in asset names.

That has to be non-zero.

Top Deck Games is selling our very limited edition preview product and four foil cards at booth 3021. We will be doing demos of the game, have artist signings and even creating a new card all weekend long.

Please reshare and come find us!!!!

Another option would be asking your hotel if they have a sewing kit. That's something they might have at the front desk.

You could at least gusset up the seam to keep it from spreading and add a bit more structure in a pinch.

I take it to New York regularly. Haven't done Philly.

But it's a comfortable ride.

Safe travels.

That's my experience whenever I'm heading downtown during peek times.

Are you taking the Acela to Philly?

All of our devices are computers now (or at least have countless embedded compute devices on them).

We shouldn't ignore basic compute observability best practices "because it's a car or plane".

Some amount of this starts to butt up against the work that I do - software and systems observability.

While I know there needs to be controls to not do that bad thing (terminate the charging script for flight), actively monitoring system resources in realtime is another crucial step!
