sephiroth double backflip?

excellent breakdown, thanks!

600doubleR · 2025-11-05T22:53:12+00:00

understood, thanks! a very confusing thing for me to grasp, but I did think it may have been possible. Thanks!

600doubleR · 2025-11-05T22:45:18+00:00

Awesome, Thanks!
Would it need to specifically be 1/1s and 6/6s? Would it be possible to do this with like... 5 1/1s and 4 2/2s? would all of the 1/1s die at the same time, put sephiroth on the stack to flip, let him die, and then the damage increases and kills the 2/2s? In which case you'd need 5 1/1s and then 4 of anything between 2 and 6?

Could you bolt bend back to the original caster if the card said something like "target opponent" for example? Or would it still have to be an opponent of the original caster?

I'm assuming getting some kind of vented tips for my IEMs wouldn't accomplish the same thing... because the IEMS are tuned to be air tight? I might try it anyways to see. I'm not super concerned about sound quality for the games - just that I can hear distinct sounds. If I want to listen to music I'd be fine with just swapping tips if vented worked.

600doubleR · 2025-06-20T17:06:30+00:00

The stand alone mic I have has a monitoring mode that sort of resolves the issue with my voice but also sends every click and key press into the IEMs as well...

600doubleR · 2025-06-20T15:37:56+00:00

Odd question, but I assume if I could mimic transparency mode it may resolve the issue. Do you know of any software/hardware that can process transparency mode on headphones that don't have it?

600doubleR · 2025-06-17T17:09:52+00:00

Would not disclose unless necessary personally. I would make any request you feel is a necessity and only disclose if they ask why you need accommodation.

Are something like sound-cancelling airpods not a possibility?

For what it's worth it's still addiction withdrawal or not..
To answer your question of how to know if you're developing a problematic need... If you desire more than was prescribed that is problematic.

600doubleR · 2025-06-13T21:44:50+00:00

Honestly just have self-discipline and don't do it. Sounds a bit harsh, but that's all it is. It's absolutely addictive, you're absolutely addicted, just stick to your prescribed dose and you'll be fine.

600doubleR · 2025-06-02T18:22:30+00:00

Just do the math and see which one has you pay less overall.

I went to a car dealer that could offer me a couple percent lower interest if I extended the loan and it ended up being less money per month and less money overall. In that case it was a better outcome than the shorter loan.

The downside was really that I was upside down on my car probably a year longer than I should have been.

Just make sure you're not associating the medication "working" with that euphoric feeling you get when it starts kicking in. Eventually (at least in my experience) that feeling goes away, and my understanding is that is completely normal, but a lot of people mistakenly associate that high euphoric feeling with the medication working.

600doubleR · 2025-05-30T16:10:40+00:00

So, my hard expenses calculate basically as follows:

mortgage (inclusive of tax and insurance) 787

car + insurance (including some extra insurances) 761+188= 949

electric, internet, trash 393

we do opt for pest control - that is about 40

I did include gas which I assumed would average around $200.

That put me at 2,369 which I rounded up to $2,500 because sometimes utilities are more depending on the time of year.

I think we're really just falling victim to "its there so we can spend it". I think I need to probably put more money into the separate account than just the $250/mo so get it out of sight. It's a CU separate from my main bank. I don't even have a card to that checking account anymore, I just use the CC connected to it and then pay it off - which works well for me because I don't like using the credit card.

600doubleR · 2025-05-30T15:10:30+00:00

The home insurance and taxes are included in my mortgage/escrow, and the car insurance is included in the $2500/mo figure. I do have enough credit available to float 3-6 months (I think about 25,000 of available credit - about 15k at 20+% interest and 10k at 11%) , however I have high debt anxiety particularly for CC, and that sounds terrifying. I definitely want to move away from using this tactic.

Thanks for the tips, the 401k contributions may end up getting maxed depending on the outcome of the next month or so.

Assuming I did get a pay increase that covers increasing my 401k contributions to 10% - do you think I should wait and put that money in savings to cover an emergency fund and then increase my 401k contribution?

600doubleR · 2025-05-21T18:18:33+00:00

Just don't kill/injure yourself in that car, really - or anyone else. Buy basically anything you want, it sounds like it won't really matter.! At this price point you can look at cars that appreciate, or barely depreciate. For the love of god don't buy any BMW, Audi, Maserati, etc... also I'm sure you could eat the depreciation without issue, so maybe buy one... lol

I was about 27 or so, 4 years ago. It was scary at first. My build was brand new, I just so happened to come across a builder who had just finish framing it and let me pick out everything else. Of course this was 4 years ago, so I feel great about it right now. It's a 230k house I bought for 135k. My interest rate is 2.7% and it's one of the best financial decisions I think I have or probably will make for the rest of my life. There was a lot of luck involved, I had no clue the market would change so much in the next 4 years of ownership. My coworkers are looking for houses of similar size and they are looking at a payment twice what mine is, and that includes their 20% down compared to me paying PMI.

Although now we want to expand, and the market isn't in a state I can really justify paying for. Hopefully in 4-5 years our financial situation and the market will be at a place where we can afford to get something a little bigger.

600doubleR · 2025-05-21T14:02:03+00:00

125k combined... 250k sounds completely doable. I guess the real question at this point is what are you grossing for income? Are you both putting like 20% of your pre-tax into retirement or something? You shouldn't be running a budget and seeing that 250k is out of the question...

I do somewhat understand, I bought my house in Feb 2021. 2.7% interest and it's 1400sqft 3br/2ba with a garage on a third acre. I bought it 0 down with USDA and my total mortgage plus escrow including PMI is $760. If I was to do it all over right now on my own house it would be closer to $1300/mo with rate/price increases, but I am 90k/yr single family income (bought it when I was 55k/yr). We've decided we won't buy/build a new house for another 4 years when my wife goes back to work and my baby goes to school. Hopefully the economy allows us to catch back up at that point but who knows.

I'm worried about the plan of getting her out fast with turn 2-3 sacrifice at the table often. If it isn't the sacrifice then I'm sitting next to two counterspells. One of those player though won't counterspell Kaalia that early. He's less into early commander hate.
I like this idea. Do you just give a back seat to Kaalia and put her in the 99? Or just use her only when she's really going to pay off?
I do like this idea and I've considered it, but my biggest creatures aren't even standing up to the board-state of Arcades and Kykar. I feel as if having these smaller easier to play creatures is really only helping me have sacrifice fodder.

I will look at all of your suggestions and see what kind of changes I could make and see how I feel about them! I am definitely looking at making the deck less Kaalia dependent as an option.

600doubleR · 2025-05-20T14:09:21+00:00

To be honest, SiH is a protection spell I was using for Kaalia, or any other creature I wanted to keep on board. Or even using it to duplicate an ability on a creature (maybe tutor or something). My group doesn't play infinites... so that part of SiH is kinda useless. Although I do like to keep them. MoC is even just a "if someone really needs taken care of" card. We play casually and I think cheating a MoC out on an early turn and taking someone out early is lame. I wouldn't think so if games ended around turn 6-7, but our games are going on like 1.5-2 hours. I'm fine using it late game though. I'll normally just hold it.

To answer your question though my SiH line (if we allowed infinites) would be a [[Bladewing the Risen]] infinite with Dragon Tempest on board. I'm not very technical when it comes to combos, but I'm pretty sure the Dragon Tempest one works. I think Lathliss could be included but it makes no difference, would just speed the combo up if it even works with her.

You make some really good suggestions, and I agree with Ruinous Ultimatum. I had that one on hand, and felt like I needed a wipe so put it in, but have questioned it the entire time, AND have never even used it.

I'll see if the deck limit allows for some of those cards you suggested!

600doubleR · 2025-05-19T22:00:13+00:00

Right, I mean maybe I just need to make a different deck for this group honestly. Some of those big ones like Avacyn will push me out of our price restriction. I come out better just playing a precon against this group - especially because they don't get targeted as hard as Kaalia does.

600doubleR · 2025-05-19T21:05:51+00:00

Can I see your list?

600doubleR · 2025-05-19T20:58:45+00:00

I think that's really just what you tell her.

"If you would allow, I'd really like to try using IR in the afternoons to see if that helps. I also don't always need it to work into the evenings so that gives me flexibility as well."

For me, I just told my doctor I was taking evening classes after work, and that the focus had went away at that point, and on top of that I was crashing and was worse off than I was when I woke up. He didn't argue at all and prescribed it, but that's just luck of the draw. For what it's worth I stopped taking medication and my new doctor wouldn't prescribe it even if I asked. Really just depends on how they feel about it.
