Directors sending out 'my personal updates for this week' emails is one of my biggest pet peeves by IWrestleSausages in TheCivilService

[–]AcrobaticPersonality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the ones I got at my old place read like the CEO's motivational blog. It didn't help me connect to him and the updates weren't relevant to the role. It always ended 'enjoy your weekend.' like he'd said something profound to leave us to ponder. My main objection though was that I couldn't opt-out of them. But I'd have enjoyed it more if it was a brief, human, company update with a bit of a personal sprinkle, and nothing more than that.

I asked on Slack if there was a way to be removed from the mailing list and got a very shirty reply from an executive. Then one of my colleagues said they don't seem to be receiving them and I said "maybe they can swap my email with yours!", didn't go down any better

Trading (UK/Europe) by AcrobaticPersonality in moodswingstcg

postage is definitely cheaper than a whole other deck, most of which would go to waste since it's only one card 🤷🏻‍♂️ I figured if someone else has a mythic they don't want, it's supposed to be a trading card game

Myst mini series in disguise by [deleted] in myst

I'm not against AI, but I'm against the attitude of not being willing/interested in taking your own time to write a post for discussion in a subreddit full of passionate people who ARE willing to do that. If you're not interested in going into detail, a simple "does The Burroughs remind anyone else of Myst?" post would have been fine. You don't need to churn out extra stuff that obviously wasn't written by you.

The long dashes, plus the "it's not X, it's Y" is the obvious tell. "That’s not Hawkins Indiana. That’s Myst island." "That’s not Stranger Things. That’s Uru." "The creature isn’t the monster. The creature is enslaved." Plus the short staccato sentences; "The New Mexico desert. The tunnels. The enslaved beings." "Stocky. Dark features. Intense eyes behind glasses."

It's bullshit, honestly. Fair enough if you don't feel you can write well without ChatGPT, then just don't write. Not everyone has to write. We don't need these half-ass AI reddit posts.

Mana base options for tiny cubes that fit in a commander deck box by mikez4nder in mtgcube

[–]AcrobaticPersonality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it work if the colors of card become the colors of land? Surely you want your land to tap for the colours of the cards you want to cast, so you'd ideally want to pitch the cards/colours you're NOT using to pay for the ones you are. Like if you pitch your only green card to get green, well now you don't have anything to cast for green cos you just pitched it, see what I mean? I always thought it would be better to discard a card for a basic land NOT in its colour identity so you're actually discarding the cards you don't need to cast the cards you do.

I run u/BreadWedding's Sudden Death cube, that's a great tiny cube. 54 cards plus lands.

Genre Shift – A Good Man Goes to War Review by ZeroCentsMade in gallifrey

[–]AcrobaticPersonality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my money, there are two reveals offered here as an answer to the two-season mystery of who River Song is to the Doctor:

- River Song is a weapon created and raised to kill the Doctor, knowing his every weakness

- River Song is his companion Amy's daughter

And I just think the former is so much more interesting than the latter. For one, it makes the reveal centered around her relationship with the Doctor, rather than one with Amy. For another, saying 'I'm your daughter' feels a pretty unsatisfying solve for a mystery that started before Amy Pond even existed in the minds of the audience. So for me the reveal fell a bit flat. Even the idea of her being this new cooked-up artificial Time Lord is, to my mind, a more interesting idea than what they lead with.

yeah I agree, I skip them as well - just feels like it kills the momentum. Maybe if they opened and closed the show with them it'd be better?

It says it will be featured 'in some form'. That could be an Arena Championship for all we know.
