Checking the Diary - Mon 20 July 2020
Added 2020-07-20 09:17:19 +0000 UTCGood morning, loves! It is Monday again. Time to grab the week, right? Favourite mug on my desk, favourite pen on the ready, and a new BuJo layout in the works.
For those keeping track, I didn't take on Zyra yet. I realised I still need some work with my Cho. You see, people love glacial Cho, but I'm not having a lot of love with him. I like playing mid, but don't want to go AP Cho. I really want to stick with my tank Cho. I mostly like Cho because.. well.. he gets BIGGER as he eats things. It's fantastic motivation.
For those wondering... I have found that this style of game completely works with my over-active brain. You can't half-ass it. So for that 30 minutes or so my entire thought process is on what's happening in the game and it's a welcome break in an unique way. I don't see myself ever being able to play for hours, but unlike never-ending Civ (okay, some end, but some are slooooow) or games of that nature, it is 30 minutes of intense play and *bam* done. Yesterday, I had someone trash talk me with a comment of "imagine missing that combo!" and it was hilarious because I'm sure they think that I'm a teen/early adult dude.
Post-pandemic land may see me no longer indulging my newfound hobby of being a void monster. We'll see. My other game play includes a draft/cube pick MtG tournament. I haven't put together a deck in ages and it's going to be made even more interesting by having a smaller pool to choose from for it. The owner of the magic cards literally has almost every single magic card made. It's unbelievable. I'm doing a spearmint deck. I'm not actually a gamer-type by any stretch of the imagination, I'm simply surrounded by them and pulled into their activities.
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday. It's my usual zero-the-inbox routine so you'll likely be hearing from me throughout the day.

I was also into MtG back in the day, and then life happened. I still have a huge collection that I’ve probably got way to much money tied up in. I sometimes wish I still had the time for it, but then realize there are now other things more important to me... that I don’t feel like I’ve got the proper amount of time for... 😂

2020-07-20 11:42:19 +0000 UTCThank you for the update, Mistress! Oh.. there's a schedule now?! (faints) (recovers from the burst of enthusiasm) My League days are behind me (my MtG days even more so), but I loooooved to play top tanky Cho. Nothing like being a huge nigh unkillable nuisance, sending people into the air and screaming in their face. I used to have a cube group, but we disbanded due to... life.. there wasn't that much else holding us together anymore so the group faded. I looooved those night where we got pizza and beer and drafted until late in the night, going for a dive in the pool as we waited for other to finish their games, but I'm having other equally enjoyable and fulfilling activities with my current friends. Have a great week, Mistress. I appreciate you. Looking forward to the rest of the game. :D
