Enigma is so cool I wish Japan was real

fiscally conservative, sure

she's anti choice, anti vax, pro conversion therapy, and overall a gross person

Praying to the GEM gods to give me Guardians in Yokohama.

No decklist yet, sorry.

7-5 for 38th/263 at Calling: Shanghai with terrorist Enigma.

Silver Age fucking sucks ass rn and I thought the event was CC until like a week and a half ago, so I let GEM take the wheel. Almost mincashed, could have beaten Jacuzzi on Kayo with his draws being bad, but didn't play tight enough.

For those wondering what the weird blue girl is doing next to my name, I submit to you that life is too short to fly to Asia to play a deck that you hate :)

This run looks insane, but Clements, Yau, and Trehet were all on Valda so its less impressive than it looks

need the same luck tomorrow!

time to kill people [in the cardboard rectangle game] today

This is usually fine in Montreal, since people are understanding, but if you're in 上海, succeeding at ordering breakfast, but then "ouais" blurts out when you're asked a question...

do you think I out myself as a tourist with 1) my western dress, 2) my shitty mandarin, or 3) the number of times I've apologized when bumping into someone on the street

yes hello what the fuck

I mean I'm sure its nostalgia talking, and a bit of rose coloured glasses- I'm very aware that there are *problems* here- but there's definitely a disconnect here of "are you *sure* you don't want this?"

Like, this was basically farmland within my lifetime.

Reading news about Avi Lewis, and how he's a scary red socialist who wants big government and public ownership, is really fucking funny when eating breakfast in Pudong

we've had the sketchy street food vendors for forever already

I feel like as Shanghai urbanizes its turned from a place where people are friendly to a place where everyone takes calls on public transit, hates each other, and don't apologize for bumping into others

In other words, Shanghai is becoming NYC

Fun fact: the Communists built this in 15 years

good "morning" say it back

Its from the Zeehondencentrum :)

times I didn't have it: never

unfortunately I'm using all my luck before getting to the event...
