      @Coffeezilla MTG is holding s bounty contest. Expires July 17th. To find a one of one LOTR card. Trouble is if you order now the decks are on preorder and will not be sent out until August 4th. A week after the contest ends. Are they scamming people or have I messed up the translation.

      @Jasper Percabeth Believe it or not, most of the major corporate scandals in this century and even today are still uncovered by old school journalism. Just a few examples include FT's reporting on Wirecard, Olympus, and many others, as well as WSJ's coverage of Capital Assets and of course the old school Enron scandal. I'm not saying that independent investigations are useless, but it takes big papers with resources to take on huge corporations.

Use crayon and scrap paper if that’s all you have, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! And don’t toss it just because it isn’t immediately effective, it can be handy later.

    Coffee, youre pulling off so much - right here - in front of us. The cyberpunk ambience, the music, the visuals, the storytelling and of cause your work behind it. I can only barely imagine how much work it is. Even wilder, that you put it all together so perfectly.
