  "account": "On October 14, I attended a Magic: The Gathering (MTG) night at PJ’s Adventurers’ Hall, a gaming store near Taman Bahagia station. Intrigued by the all-femme MTG night and connections from a recent event, I joined the Mana Coven, an all-female MTG group. The store, located on the first floor of a nondescript shoplot, offered a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of an old kopitiam, complete with finger food, separate rooms, Warhammer displays, and MTG cards. I joined a diverse group of three women, two of whom were studying or working in tech, and experienced my first Commander session. Despite being outmatched, the experience was educational, and I look forward to further learning the game. PJ’s Adventurers’ Hall, run by friends with day jobs, has seen an expansion in tabletop gaming over the past two decades. The store offers a space for people to engage in role-playing games or card games, fostering friendships among players. As I continued to watch and learn, I remained mindful of the societal parallels between the MTG set Reality Fracture and contemporary issues such as tech bros reshaping the world without considering the consequences.",
