in my heraclitus era, refusing to believe in anything but flux. in my parmenides era, refusing to believe change exists and insisting the entire world is an illusion. in my diogenes era. sleeping in a jar, throwing chickens at people unprovoked, wandering around with a lamp.

Today I showed the designers that you can name cells in spreadsheets and use the names in formulas (i.e. "=PLAYER_LEVEL" instead of "=C12"). You can then use the Name Manager to track or rename them. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess not, so sharing that tidbit here.

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

Thinking about Haktos today. What a strange, cool card. Great Magic take on Achilles, imo

Haktos the Unscarred
Red Red White White
Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
6/1

Effects: Haktos the Unscarred attacks each combat if able.
As Haktos enters the battlefield, choose 2, 3, or 4 at random.
Haktos has protection from each converted mana cost other than the chosen number.
