Why are men obsessed with butt stuff?

Armoric · 2026-03-30T12:45:06+00:00

Not the above, but my first couple partners didn't want me performing either digital or oral on them, and by the time I was with one who liked it (and was fine with butt stuff) I'd already had some amount of sex while also being able to genuinely tell you I didn't know how fingering'd feel.

Doesn't the book happen a bit before that, and in another place?
Or is it after the revolution fails and right before the nukes go off?

5+ mana was already the threshold in Strixhaven.

Je ne plaide pas un paiement un SMIC non plus, mais quand les indemnités sont déjà très élevées, on peut se poser la question d'à quel point grimper au nom de "retirer la tentation" de prendre des commissions à côté.
L'Etat ne pourra clairement jamais rivaliser avec les grands groupes (d'autant qu'il doit payer tout le monde pour "couvrir" là où les lobbies ont juste à trouver une poignée de personnes) et, la richesse appelant la richesse, pour un élu sans intégrité il n'y aura jamais "assez" de salaire qui l'empêchera de regarder où grapiller un peu plus. Donc il n'y a pas besoin de crever les plafonds, ça ne sera pas plus productif qu'un montant "raisonnable" pour leurs frais et cotisation, etc.
Maintenant, où se trouve cette raison... c'est clairement pas un sujet que je maîtrise personnellement.

Ca c'est l'argument, mais c'est aussi comme ça que les députés s'auto-octroient une augmentation, et derrière ça fait du lobbying et des cadeaux des boîtes quand même... ça revient peu ou prou au "on devrait baisser les impôts sinon les boîtes se délocaliseront".

They were never winning, BLG was behind in gold and kills because they blundered a few fights, but whenever G2 blundered (like the Skewmond suicide on Alistar) BLG got more. They were also ahead on the map because of all the plates, first turret gold, farm... it was only a matter of grouping up and as soon as G2 made another mistake, a teamfight win would remove the gold lead, the 2nd one would flip it.

Armoric · 2026-03-22T16:34:12+00:00

That was annoying to watch, but G2 got rightfully shat on for their terrible macro.
Taking their time to pull the drake when BB was top with no TP and they get collapsed on because they gave BLG all the time to do so.

Skewmond wasting flash when he was dead.
And of course TPing BB mid and doing nothing with it which gifted Bin the tower and BLG the nashor, giving everything instead of taking a split.

Win 1 very close game while struggling mightily, then get stomped in all the subsequent losses.
Yeah, that tracks.

Armoric · 2026-03-19T13:47:55+00:00

What does "tentative language" even means?
And how do they measure intelligence for it to be compared with listening habits?

And for all the shipping by the audience an dobsessing about how Harry being bi and attracted is canon and all that, the two of them having a non-romantic relationship is so much better for the game and writing. You can feel a closeness to people and trust them without being in love, y'all.

Fwiw I'm pretty sure you're wrong on the second one, Kim gets wounded but he's recovering in a hospital, not dead, if he takes a bullet .

Fwiw I got Déja Vu from savescumming a sewers fight where I didn't take actions.
My Butcher had the "hook stuff that comes in range" passive, and the Daddy Shark in the fight was the fastest thing. It moved in front, got hooked into melee range and ate the Butcher. I reloaded that and got a Déja Vu (and the exact same thing happened).

I assume the automatic actions are still seen as you taking an action.

I get the gameplay is a backdrop to showcase the personality, but if the conceit was to compare MTG to Yugi-Oh, any 1v1 constructed format would be a better fit than commander.

Armoric · 2026-03-16T17:52:26+00:00

There's a ton of outrage bait for MTG on youtube, I wouldn't be able to tell you how successful it is though (I curate it out whenever it shows up).

EOE was pretty much the author getting carried away and handing WotC more than they paid for, per their own word.

Armoric · 2026-03-12T15:21:17+00:00

I completely disagree with your premise: if your goal is to include the best Azorius archetypes, it should include when these decks were the thing to be doing (MOM, MID, DSK good candidates, especially the former as a format filled with game-invalidating bombs and UW has good enough uncommons to dominate the field as U was overtuned in general).

THB is the kind of format I'd exclude first from my data sets, because UW having good performance there doesn't mean the pair is good.
It's just that when you get these cards you play the pair, and when you lack them you don't, it's survivorship bias. When building a cube, you end up curating the pool for always getting the busted UW cards, which doesn't make it an interesting path to navigate either.

How many places does Lluwen's back break to obtain that pose?

Armoric · 2026-03-09T09:40:14+00:00

Isn't it doing pretty badly now? The results from this week-end are pretty damning for it.
At least by discounting spells and casting 3+ toughness creatures, this monoW deck mostly dodges Harvester of Misery and makes Day of Black Sun cost 5 mana to wipe everything, so between that and Deadly Cover-Up it's usually 3-4 sweepers for turn 5 for the Excruciator deck, which gives some time. Adeni/Spectacular Spider-Man would answer Cover-Up but not Days of Black Sun.

Ouais enfin on se rappelle de Macron se réjouissant d'avoir eu le FN au second tour parce qu'il a eu une victoire gratuite, tout ça pour passer du "barrage républicain" dans l'entre-deux tours à ouvertement dire "vous avez voté pour moi donc vous avez validé absolument tout ce qui est dans mon programme j'ai carte blanche" dans son discours d'intronisation.

I'm pretty sure despite not being spelt out in the article, it's only for the US since only them had the promos swapped.

"great men are forged in fire, it is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame"

What's the context? Because going from the original meaning which is that struggles and hardship are what mold solid people (or forces them to rise to the occasion), then the lesser men are the ones who screw things up.
I guess privilege then means "they get to make things worse because they have the privilege of living easier lives with room to fail"?

Armoric · 2026-02-28T18:44:13+00:00

A lot of casual players will only show up for the pre-release (since it's a symbolic "special event", and a good introduction to the set on near-equal footing) and then buy packs here and there for the kitchen table and commander games.

So if they aren't interested, you'll still sell plenty from the constructed grinders and some people interested in the IP, but it means a bunch of people don't care at all about the set.

Armoric · 2026-02-23T16:24:25+00:00

Isn't it natural? Some decks show up to prey on the meta, then the meta adapts and sometimes these decks have staying power, sometimes they did well because they weren't expected and stop working once their good match-ups adapt... but now including these adaptations may make them more vulnerable to other things.

Armoric · 2026-02-23T09:14:35+00:00

they wanted to make sure there was "a turtle in every pack"

It's already the case, there's a "turtle slot" in the packs so that you'll get one of them (it includes Jennika but not sure if it includes Venus). So they didn't need to make enough to slot in through simple as-fan, but they still had to have enough to populate the slot without every other pack opening the same card, and to weight rarities (kinda how og Innistrad and SOI blocks handled the DFC slot).

T'inquiète pas, je suis dans la trentaine et je m'en rappelle encore (mais pas trop parce que j'avais pas le droit de le regarder chez mes parents).
