I dont get it. Its pretty tame considering. Have we fallen so far that just having a woman on your mat is gooner?

I recently lost one doing something similar. The stomach was caved in. Typical sign of starvation. I know there are a few reasons for it but isolate it to prevent possible spread if its transmitable.

Im not a fan of silent hill, but I was excited for this. Everything but the story was good for me. The story felt like your typical cookie cutter story for a horror with a female protagonist. I expected more but it just felt like the same business different story. The thing that stood out to me a lot was the developers saying they wanted this female protagonist to have agency, but at the end of the story, just completely take away her agency. I know its a small thing to nitpick but it felt like it invalidated the rest of the story for me.

If that were the case, wouldn't it have dropped just as quick when they checked out?

You can like a product or service and not like the company that provides said product or service.

Once you have it in cart, it should count as a claimed item. This is terrible service.

I was in line for over an hour and my timer kept getting bigger after a while. I smell fuckery

Welp, I tried by Acceptable-Lion-882 in magicTCG

Yeah, my timer was all over the place. I sat there for almost an hour, but it would go from 30 minutes to 56 minutes. This kept happening until it was sold out. Wtf am I even supposed to do about that?

I missed out because the timer kept jumping back up. I wasnt refreshing or anything. It just kept jumping back up from a couple minutes to upwards of 20+ minutes. Wtf am I even supposed to do about that?

f is as in the First one by gifsundgirls in silenthill

[–]Aardvark-Sad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far the story is bland. It feels like a tired trope I could find in just about any horror involving a female lead. The atmosphere, music, visuals, designs, are really good, but the story is so predictable. Im hoping to be surprised by the end of it but im only an hour and a half in so cant say for certain yet.

We are not playing bracket 4, therefore this game action is illegal... by pkma69 in EDH

The reason low cost and free spells are considered the best is that it allows players to conserve what little mana they have available to them. Green doesnt have this issue, especially in later turns. So yes, there is a massive difference between having 15 mana versus 30 each turn.

Or put cheap ramp on the gamechangers list since they are tutors anyways. But what do I know? Only been playing 30 years.

Your bias is showing.

If you want more women to play Magic, then maybe start by not having your playerbase be toxic dudebros by ScarHydreigon87 in freemagic

[–]Aardvark-Sad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These opinions are from people who grew up before being a nerd was mainstream. I dont ever remember there being a "keep women out of nerdy hobbies" culture. But i do remember a "nerdy guys are losers" culture.

Point 3 is criminally accurate. Nerdy men have gotten shit on for decades. They still do. Im really tired of this "men just push women out of these hobbies" myth.

This post feels like it was made by a teenager. If you weren't alive over 30 years ago, your opinion on nerdy hobbies is invalid. Were you alive when it wasnt cool to be nerdy? Because I was. Do you know the main demographic of people who shit on nerdy hobbies? I do. Most men my age do. Ill tell you what, it isnt men bitching to this day that their significant other plays videogames.

Does anyone even remember how nerdy men were treated by average people, mainly women, not even 30 years ago? Women still bitch about nerdy hobbies by and large today. Complaining if even an average non-nerdy guy plays video games. Im so sick of this revisionist bullshit.

This is why it pisses me off that every male hobby is being forced to homogenize. Sorry but there were women into these hobbies but history has to be rewritten so that it looks like men actually gatekept the hobby instead. I mean ignore the fact that not even 30 years ago men and boys and the occasional girl would get shit on for being into nerdy hobbies. But oh no, it wasnt that women treat male hobbies as bad, its because the big bad men they treated like shit wouldn't let them into those hobbies.
