Watched Bladerunner 2049 last night. Saw a post saying the intro was "cinematic excellence".
Film and themes were quite good - love thinking about what makes us human.
Intro, though? I mean... it didn't strike me as anything particularly special. Am I missing something?

I really have forgotten how to social media. I've avoided it for so long I find getting back into it insanely distracting.
It's that age-old question; spend more time producing work, or talking about that work? Does it matter if there's no one there to see it?

Running 10k Monte-Carlo sims to select the best 100 IMP (enemy) cards for SUBNET: Contracts
Based on a 3 suit matrix of 1330 total, taking into account a min 3 card hand out of a possible 69 Skill cards in a deck
