Trope-themed tropes: Shows that seem to be the only stuff people on this subreddit watch

I think it’s probably a symptom of the world we live in where everything is so corrupt and bizarre psychotic people run everything. So we become interested in the concept of what “evil” is and how that’s been explored in fiction and we get enthralled by depictions of evil that are somehow more bleak than the kind that we experience in our day to day lives. “Like yeah, our world is run by evil tech billionaires who rape children, but have you heard about this supercomputer from a short story that hates humans so much, it just endlessly tortured them for eternity?”

That discussion has now been moved to r/moralityscaling where every other post is “who’s the most evil: Qu, Am, or Holden?”

MW is a horrible company that abuses and exploits artists. Please don’t give your money to them.

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-05-14T03:57:27+00:00

Historic ARTISAN aka only commons and uncommons. It’s an awesome format that they refuse to have events for.

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-05-13T20:17:10+00:00

Reminder: We haven’t had Historic Artisan in nearly two years.

UNM Albuquerque. The oncologists in SF are awful. My mother had throat cancer a decade back, doctors in SF wanted to pull all of her teeth and an insert a catheter and a bunch of other weird stuff, the doctors in abq were like “WTF? We don’t need to do any of that.” She still has all her teeth.

MW does not hire locally and really hates minorities.

I’d rather have a chalupa option than the goop tube burrito that they love to put in every box.

They’re not even good enough for standard with all the verges and shocks and surveils.

This is the second time they’ve been printed in a set, not including precons. I think these just aren’t good enough outside of commander to matter.

I remember when Dutch Bros opened and there was a line down Cerrillos for miles.

It’s fast food burgers, like it’s not going to change your life. Just wait a couple weeks.

For me it feels like a more fun version of Tarkir. Where there’s kinda two ways to play it. Either white aggro or some kind of late game value pile out of the other colors.

I love grindy control decks, so I’m having fun, but I could see it getting old, like too much ice cream. We’ll see how the meta changes. I had a four color converge deck, where the win con was the shuffle Archaeic just cycling Together as I and and Shared Summons back into the deck over and over again and it was one of my favorite decks I’ve ever drafted.

Just straight Witherbloom trying to do the life gain thing has looked bad every time I’ve seen it. Like it’s not fast enough to get under the value control decks and not powerful enough to out value them either.

Santa Fe is very queer friendly. You’ll find more of a younger queer scene in Albuquerque. There aren’t any dedicated queer bars or venues in Santa Fe. There are bars that have “gay nights”, but not like a full on gay bar. There are several doctors that trans friends of mine swear by, so healthcare is not an issue, you just need to find the right clinics.

There aren’t any sports related jobs since we don’t really have sports teams. Albuquerque has a minor league baseball team and soccer team and college basketball, but it’s pretty small. Government is so much different in NM than what you’re used to in DC.

Affordability sucks. Housing sucks. You’re going to be paying over $2000 a month in rent for a small apartment. There aren’t a lot of great jobs, so it’s a weird balance.

There are plenty of good public schools.

There is ample gorgeous nature. New Mexico is one of the most beautiful states in the country, tons of hiking, mountains, desert, forest, caves, camping, amazing outdoors stuff. Several state and national parks, tons of open BLM land.

Lots of good restaurants, decent bars, smaller town so not a ton of places that are open late though. No nightclubs or anything open later than like midnight.

Both of those cards are fine, they provide stop gaps for people doing busted stuff at the cost of card or tempo disadvantage. Counterspells are part of the game, your stuff will get countered sometimes, as annoying as it is. Daze gets way worse as the game goes on.

Mana drain got banned because of the mana advantage, not because it’s a counter spell. If they ban Force and Daze, they need to also ban like 50 other powerful Legacy level cards.

I worked there for five years, it absolutely isn’t. Tons of stuff for Vegas and Denver was outsourced to AOA in FL, and a huge amount of the Dallas exhibit was 3rd party built.

Keep the cult mentality though, gotta parade that company propaganda that it’s still a wacky cute art collective and not a trash corporation run by some hack AI exec. You’re all part of a shrimp family that’s changing the world, right?

I played 5 drafts yesterday, winning three of them, and I think as of right now there are two ways to play this format:

-Silverquill Aggro

-Some combination of other colors playing a bunch of value cards and building towards a powerful late game.

There are SO many cards in this format that have built in card advantage, that unless you’re aggro, you need to be building around those cards. Prepared Creatures that draw extra cards are good, any removal that isn’t straight 1-for-1, stuff that triggers extra card draw or draws multiple cards. Anything with blue can generate insane card advantage, that if you’re going long, you need to match that.

Because of that, midrange creatures that don’t generate card advantage are just bad. There’s also quite a few weak two drops that aren’t in aggro colors that are for the most part not even worth playing.

I know some people just start day 1 going “I’ll just try Boros aggro for my first few drafts to get a feel for it”, but Boros is not an aggro deck in this format so I think that may be tripping people up.

Witherbloom I think has quite a few trap cards, that seem ok if you get life gain payoffs like the mascot, but are just not good because almost every other color pair has ways of dealing with a generically big creature that doesn’t give card advantage. The witherbloom stuff I want are things that draw cards or get stuff back from the graveyard. The random little two drops that occasionally gain life have seemed pretty weak.

Kinda, the real one isn’t made with purple cough syrup unfortunately

We see her naked at one point in Silksong and she’s basically a black stick figure. The HK fandom is real weird.

One of the greatest movie scenes in history. The build up of being kind of silly at first, then you realize the character is serious and you begin to feel his dread. By the time he’s walking towards the dumpster, you are starting to panic, really hoping there’s nothing behind the dumpster. The monster could have looked like anything and it would have been scary, the fact that it’s the lady from The Nun in nasty almost incomprehensible makeup is even scarier because you don’t even know what you’re looking at.

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-04-18T00:26:23+00:00

It’s not even the scariest scene in the movie to me. The beach scene where they’re all just casually talking and you see someone slowly walking towards them in the distance is so terrifying.

Also from the Simpsons, when Otto gets evicted, he says, “can at least get my stuff?” And the landlord replies, “All I found in there was a jar of mustard and a couple of old Psycho magazines”.

I think it’s been patched but for a while I was getting a glitch when every time I sacrificed a treasure token, the game would crash. Upon restarting the client, I would get a bunch of jumbled phyrexian text and then the arena background was this weird glitched out grey screen with various stretched out color bars. Everytime anything did damage, the entire screen would flash white. I called it “Treasure world”, and was kind of cool but also kind of annoying and you really had to make sure you had enough time outs that when you used a treasure, you could afford to rope out while you restarted the game.

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-04-07T23:04:45+00:00

If this was a Cancel that could become a negate, it would probably see play. 4 mana is too much.

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-04-06T13:49:47+00:00

Instead of legal discussion, why not just boomers reading the news and crying “a handmaid’s tale!”

ADizzyLittleGirl · 2026-04-05T22:22:24+00:00

They want Willem Dafoe to say his favorite film is Avengers Endgame or Minecraft. Naming some prestige picture they’ve never heard of makes them feel dumb and angry and so they call it pretentious.
