%title {title}:[:[:G:r:a:t:i:t:u:d:e: :]:]: :J:o:u:r:n:a:l:%date {date}Today has been a pretty good day overall. in the morning I didn't really know if I should go to Bsides, but i did end up going. and at first I felt lonely and out of place (perhaps in part because I was speaking to yayu and tanu who were visiting each other and having a ball), but I'm glad I went in the end. I got to see some cool talks, and build the badge which was pretty fun. then I did some lock picking which was awesome to finally try out! When I got on the bus home it was raining a lot and then it got really cold. After I came home I played minecraft with the boys. That was fun but we kept restarting because we did dumb meme-y shit. eventually we finally settled on a world, and we had been playing for a good hour just building stuff, during which we realised it wasn't hardcore. and then after a while longer russy pointed out it wasn't on hard either and we all collectively lost our shit and rage quit for jxN wasting our time.
After that me, jxN,  russy and callum played Splendour and we had the most fucked game ever. Russy got to 10 points pretty quickly and had a 5 point card reserved for which he only needed 1 blue gem to buy. The rest of us all teamed up against him to hoard all the remaining blues and golds so that he couldn't get one. We cucked him soo hard. Eventually he decided to top deck a card and got a cheap blue he could purchase, and at that point we knew there was no point in cucking him. However since he had his turn after me I had to keep cucking him for the golds. This led to me not only catching up in points, but also being able to sneak out the victory the turn before russy got his by buying a 5 point card from the board with 4 golds. It was so crazy. I'm really glad i got to be there and also be the winner.
