 I made some cool things yesterday, including some Magic the Gathering decks
 which I'd love to try out against someone someday. Playing against the AI is
 kinda boring because it always makes the same mistakes haha
 
 anyway here's the card-lists, and some things that I wrote while I was
 distracted
 
 I always try and keep my decks under 40$ - the decks I have IRL had a limit of
 30$, but that was back before 30$

 what if I use equal signs instead of dashes, so prevent people from assuming
 they're duplicates?
 
 hmm okay.
 
 right so anyway the star realms balancing tradeoff between combat and authority
 is measured against the duration of a hand (does it fit balanced between other
 cards of it's playcost) instead of balancing it for the duration of the game
 (how long does the player want the game to go on for) one of which is just
 inverse combat damage / healing, and the other of which is an enablement of
 different strategems.
 
 put this in symbeline-gen-realms please

 It's a script I wrote that downloads and configures MTG-forge, the free and
 open source version of Magic. It's a little old, a little jank, but you get
 all the cards for free. All the way up to the most current expansions.
 
 Multiplayer is a bit harder than Arena, I think it's bugged or something, but
 it's great for testing out decks against a computer. If I like one then I'll
 usually buy it to play with my IRL friends.

 playing one of my 4 gameboys, reading some of my books or journals, using
 their own brought devices, playing with my cat (she's not sociable but if you
 don't mind her claws she can fight and that's kinda fun) watching something on
 the TV, talking with other people, making / eating food, um... sleeping... and
 "sleeping"... idk what else tho. Drawing? Getting stoned? I have lots of bad
 edibles.

 gonna quit drugs for a bit, gotta recover from a recent haste spell that I
 cast. Probably a bit earlier than intended I should add. Next time I'll
 definitely say "keep this in your back pocket" instead of "hey here's a haste
 spell for no reason at all" like what the heck were you even thinking, powers
 that be?? [that guide me??]
 
 who has power over you? If someone bears responsibility but not fault for a
 mental illness, then surely those who are set to a task bear responsibility
 for it's completion if not for it's ideation. Ah, who can say, maybe me from a
 year ago might have some thoughts but I sorta ground them into the dirt until
 I couldn't walk.
 
 [girl what are you even talking about go to sleep] yeah yeah okay

 had a dream that we gamified all work and then put them into one single
 mega-game so whenever you wanted you could work on an arbitrary project and it
 would spin up a new game and take your inputs and use them to accomplish

 my wishlist is comprised primarily of "things I wish I could've played"
 
 like... "things I would have installed, but cannot afford"
 
 it's a good list, I wouldn't want it wiped out.
 
 I have enough games.
 
 unless you think of something specific that would appeal to me,
 
 or if I chance upon something really cool via fate.
 
 But other than that... I'm a not a big "gamer"
 
 even though I spend almost all of my day on the screen.

 "oh but what if one artist has 1500 works and another has 15"
 
 first of all, damn, good job. That's a lot of work.
 
 second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a
 STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about
 how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data
 points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of
 compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or
 using their style as an inspiration.
 
 "oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the
 first piece used the second piece as inspiration"
 
 I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's
 problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone
 else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or
 beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that.

 can't fucking wait till we're done eating the rich and I can go back to a
 simple life of playing with my cat, making video games, writing poetry (bad
 poetry, but I like it) and hanging out with my friends.
 
 gotta build the social infrastructure to get through this phase first, though.
 something something echo chambers exist IRL too

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 when I play games, the theme only matters when it's being sold to me.
 
 after, once I start playing, I stick around if the mechanics are good.
 
 hence, why I loooooove video games but spend like 30$ on them every 6 months

 I have plenty of things made, but none of it organized : (
 
 Kinda makes me wish I could like... train an LLM on my social media posts and
 use it programmatically somehow to help me organize my stuff into different
 categories according to what kind of topic or style they were written in.
 Hmmm......... There's no way I could do it, I mean, there's no way I could
 organize and edit my stuff, but with the help of a computer I might.

 I think it's ironic how I ended up posting a "things I almost posted"
 screenshot directory somewhere other than where I almost posted them.
 
 and all they saw were the outtakes.
 
 I bet they'd see a completely different point of me,
 
 but they never talk to me
 
 so they don't know me.
 
 oh well, alas, it's fine I'm sure I'm being designed.
 
 who can say, I am but at productive play, please react so I can do ongoing
 story. I learn from each and every encounter I encounterate.
