I'm still on Mist's side on this but she's working hard to lose my vote.

See, even Cad is on your side.

You've got multiple people on your side on this. Don't act like a victim.

Negative reinforcement is not punishment. And this isn't about punishing people. It's about telling the doofus that won't stop monopolizing the teacher's time I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO CODE *RAISE HAND* YOU COULD ALSO CODE THATTHISWAY I'VE WRITTEN LOTS OF MY OWN PROGRAMS ALREADY to shut up...

For that to make sense it requires using only one definition of racism. From Dictionary.com - 1. A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the...

Yeah, started searching on Google today and the news stories are starting to roll in about it.

This is the first time I've seen this but it looks like content ID is being applied to Twitch? And yeah, 2/3rds of this video are just muted. edit - looks like all his recent broadcasts are muted

The higher power level is a selling point and it was very different than the traditional Greyhawke/Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance high fantasy type stuff but I don't really know anyone that ran a campaign of Dark Sun, or Spelljammer, or any of the other unique settings for more than a couple...

It sounds cool.

Hey now, there's no need to use gendered language for that. Monopolizing the instructor's time with your bullshit knows no gender.

I won a copy of the Dark Sun boxed set years and years ago and it looked like piles and piles of death. The conclusion of the first major storyline was just flat out taking on Lord Dregoth and even with the higher overall power level of the setting I have no idea how the fuck you do that and not...

Wait, can I get the Warlock hero powerplusTracking? Oh man. In an unrelated note does anyone still think Haunted Creeper is a bad card?

Wait, do you think I literally mean all new cards are more powerful than all older cards? Do you think that was my position? Well shit, here's a blue spell that says draw cards on it that isn't better than Ancestral! ARGUMENT DEFEATED. I've never seen someone take the time to build a straw...

It's not semantics. You said that Mr Creed gave an example of an ubiquitous card being replaced by a strictly better version. He did not. Ancestral Recall was first. Ancestral Recall is the ubiquitous card draw spell of Magic the Gathering. It has not been replaced by a strictly better version.

No, he did not. Ancestral Recall was not replaced. When your format is "all cards ever printed" Ancestral Recall and Concentrate are competing for deck slots. When you print a card that is worse than current options no one will use it. When you print a card that is better than current options...

You said that decks in Vintage were built with a majority of cards from the first few years of the game. That is not the case. It's more like 1/6th to 1/3rd. Most of those cards are mana sources. The flavor/strategy comes from newer cards.

Ancestral Recall and Concentrate are creatures now? And their existence leads to the opposite conclusion that creatures have in fact gotten worse over time? The Ancient said they just won't release a card that is strictly better than Chillwind Yeti because that is not how expansions in card...

When it comes to creatures I'm really not. In the modern era the better creatures in Magic put their elder counterparts to shame.

That's how pretty much every Vintage deck looks - a pile of synergistic bullshit assembled from Magic's history likely greased with something bonkers from the long long ago. Bazaar of Baghdad, Mishra's Workshop, Moxes + Ancestral + Time Walk, etc.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If you look at the overall quality of creatures in Magic and you do so from early in the game to more recent times you can see they just started making better creatures. The best dudes at each mana cost of recent sets craps all over the most efficient dudes of...

It depends how frequently new cards are released and whether the card pool only grows or if it gets diced up into formats. If the card pool just gets bigger and bigger than it isn't unlikely that you'll just see the best cards of three expansions stuffed into Warlock.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong at the start. Are you supposed to hang around doing shit in down until level 4 or something? I head out with a pair of level 2 companions and level 3 heroes and everything everywhere is higher level. Basically the only shit my level is the Well that you can...

You need to have been maintaining some semblance of control as DMbeforeyou don't find yourself in a situation where employing your own NPC flying invisible extended range Fireball death squads is starting to look like a good idea. That shit isn't fun for you to deal with as a DM and it isn't any...

It was called Vanguard and it still exists in MTGO. They release a new Avatar per set as a bonus for playing in a prerelease. Old Squee One of the online only Avatars

No shit. That pile of boxes was the bloated death left over from the collapse of a mismanaged game store that took far too long to finally die. I'd have sworn it was all cursed. That any good came from it is truly amazing.

Pirated it, played it for a couple nights, got my shit wrecked, learned some things, got wrecked again. Bought it today. I greatly appreciate playing something so unfriendly.

That shit is all crazy. I cannot believe the money that the rank and file players are willing to spend these days. It's what stands out the most to me having started showing up at Ye Old Local Game Store for a year or two. Everyone has this work-in-progress Legacy deck, Modern deck, and EDH deck...

So? This isn't a video game or a card game where you've found some amazing strategy that no one can counter. If you are just always several hundred feet on your own all the time you are just asking to get murdered. That doesn't even take anything fancy. Being alone is death. Sure, you may get to...

The problem with all of those buff-oriented builds is that you can frustrate the DM to the point where you start getting hit with targeted dispels. There's no saving throw and no spell resistance and a targeted dispel, even the level 3 one, gets a roll versus every spell you've got active. If...

It looks like someone combined Timecrimes and The Adjustment Bureau. YOU'VE BECOME THE KILLER YOU WERE RECRUITED TO CATCH OMG WHAT A TWIST MAINTAIN THE LOOP PREDESTINATION NO WAIT THERE'S ALWAYS A CHOICE YEEAAAAH FREE WILL WOOOOO Twist ending where what we thought was the use of free will...

Yeah, the whole fairer sex nurturer dainty princess archtypes were never a thing. White women are and forever have been goddamn bulletproof.

We're just more willing to accept that women are capable of evil these days rather than ignore it/fail to believe it to be the case. The march to equality.

Many do. You can make good money as a roofer. You've just got an above average chance at dying. The same is true with logging, fishing, steel workers, other areas of construction, and so on. Those jobs are some of the most dangerous the United States has to offer in fact. Do you have any idea...

Hypothesis #1 - The better paying "male jobs" are often very dangerous. A woman's ability to attract a mate has much less to do with her income than it does for men so there's just no reason to go into those areas.

Man, this is one of those Saturday morning cartoons I remember watching but can't conjure anything but the vaguest impressions of. It's maybe first time I ever came across a WILL THEY GET HOME story arc. I still hate that trope.

Normally the way I see that complaint manifest is a comparison to MMOs. The way abilities are set up has this definite action bar/video gamey thing going on. And it kinda does. Career Wizard players also typically complained a whole lot about 4th. I'm just really sad about the whole thing...

Not last year but the year before I remember hotshotgg talking on his stream about how they had gone to Korea (and I think Dignitas went) and how disappointed he was that TSM didn't. He said that he thought TSM had the best chance of all of the NA teams of doing well at Worlds but instead of...

Fat girl music videos? Yeah, and I like the remake too. Big whoop wanna fight about it?

That shit is amateur hour. We killed 100,000 civilians in Iraq because W. was mad that Saddam threatened his father.

He looks like he was crafted specifically as a specialized card that any class can play to have something to say about early Auctioneer + Coin + Conceal or Auctioneer + Preparation + Conceal combinations so I don't suspect increasing the mana cost to six would be the way to go.
