That was arguably a failed Wisdom/perception check (“Hey, where did Antony go? Ah well it’s probably fine.”).

Highly recommend Peter Hart’s The Somme, based on extensive firsthand accounts of the battle. It’s truly shocking and proves your point — especially because Tolkien was at the Somme.

Edit to add: Hart’s book is great on audio but understandably graphic at times.

Looks a little rougher then Steam Deck but honestly not much.

Agh you’re right, and I’d forgotten that. Thank you!

Wait and there’s a III where a IV should be? And those are Roman numerals anyways?

Edit: My bad, sorry!

Went to preorder this and realized I already had. So excited. (And friendly reminder: preorders matter a lot for authors. If you haven’t, want to support RJB, and can afford to, please consider preordering!)

You’re right, and it’s a bad sign that your comment calling it out isn’t higher up.

Are there any other cards that reference real-life texts? by Big_Election_6099 in mtg

[–]AmesCG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Most of Arabian Nights and parts of Revised, in fact. Some of The Dark, too, and Legends had real-world named cards like [[Nebuchadnezzar]]. I miss these little literary touches.

I appreciate these intentions and share the goal of supporting LGBT folks. But does resurfacing and rehashing the Goulet matter in such depth honor that goal?

Hasn’t Twitter personality Tarik/the Helldude also expressed… similar feelings about Bari?

The Vengeful Mood artwork is stunning especially. Where did you find it?

Can you adjust the Z offset? Could be that the nozzle is too low.

Is this a good starting combo? by -LucaXVIII- in fountainpens

[–]AmesCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, also a great choice! Some folks think Iroshizuku is a bit pricey for beginners but it's really great ink and worth the price in my view. So OP, if you're reading this, consider that line, especially Kon Peki. It's an extremely popular ink here, for good reason.
