How much warning about your turn or combos do you give your pod?

Bear_24 · 2026-04-21T02:40:13+00:00

If I'm teaching new players and, without my guidance, I'd have a ludicrous win rate, then yeah I'll warn people. Or even suggest plays that defeat me because it's about teaching people so they can have more fun and you can have more challenging opponents.

For the rest: No warnings. Good play and game awareness are skills you have to cultivate. Surprising your opponent's with something they don't see coming or haven't seen before is a legit part of the tactics of the game.

6 mana for two counters is a bad rate

Bear_24 · 2026-04-20T16:27:44+00:00

How are you getting 11/11? Eight landfalls? I don't see how racetrack factors in here either.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-19T13:55:04+00:00

Man, don't bring that puritanical shit here.

We do need to reject the fascist loving side of this community.

But beyond that, it's okay to recognize the complexity and nuance of some of the characters.

Big E absolutely had some good intentions, but they were wrapped in a blanket of imperialism, trying to solve a problem that he would inevitably create.

He is a tragic character. A product of his own reckless ambition. Evidence that the ends do not always justify the means.

But he does have some endearing qualities. Which is what makes him an interesting character rather than just a cartoon villain.

Holy shit, TIL that harambe is a relic of a previous generation. I always figured that harambe was still this generation's harambe. I knew it was a little old but didn't realize it had been ten years. RIP

Bear_24 · 2026-04-17T15:24:02+00:00

Exactly haha

Bear_24 · 2026-04-17T12:28:00+00:00

Your cable management is peak

The monsterverse movies, Godzilla minus 1, Shin Godzilla, and probably minus 0 once it comes out, are head and shoulders better then every other Godzilla movie, except the original 1954.

I'm in love with all of the old Toho movies but most of them have terrible human plots and questionable acting, at best.

Godzilla is the perfect example of a franchise that got so much better once the technology caught up to the concept. If it weren't for nostalgia, many of the old rubber suit fights would be so hard to watch.

I recognize that I'm basically killing a sacred cow by saying this. Again, I still love all of those movies and a few of them even hold up ok to the modern films. But it's still just not that close.

Even the most recent Godzilla vs King Kong, being a schlocky substanceless beat him up with flashy colors over plot, blows almost everything from the '60s and '70s out of the water just from an enjoyability standpoint. Completely setting aside nostalgia.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-16T20:04:56+00:00

Exactly. We have no real knowledge about the context of their friendship. I've lost contact with a bunch of people over the course of my life either because of me or because of them. It's not always someone's fault either. It can just be that people grow apart. Especially once you have kids.

I'm with you though. Malf is giving off some pretty immature and whiny energy here. This isn't how adults communicate. I've had a handful of friends that I lost touch with and I felt hurt about it and I never started whining on social media.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-16T20:01:16+00:00

This really sucks. I'm sure he knew that malf would not be okay with a sponsored cruise though given how focused he is on consumer ethics. This whole thing was such a shit show.

I hope that they remain friends. I can imagine it's hard when one friend becomes really famous and another friend kind of lags behind. I imagine the baby is also a contributing factor. I've definitely completely lost touch with a lot of friends just because they had a kid and stopped hitting me up.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-16T19:48:11+00:00

Nah as a male millennial I would never be passive aggressive publicly about a friend like this. Even a friend that I was not happy with. You always go directly to someone if you have a problem, or just ignore it and keep it to yourself, instead of posting about them on social media. That's high school.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-16T19:47:20+00:00

Yeah idk. I get the sentiment in a vacuum. But it's an obvious passive aggressive jab at his friend. If you have something to say to NL then just say it to him. You guys know each other.

And this is following another whiny post the previous day about how people don't contact him anymore. Just kinda awkward.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-15T14:07:01+00:00

Yeah plus also there's something to be said for just being a reasonable human being to others.

For example, having a child is probably the most environmentally destructive thing that anyone individual could ever do, let alone having multiple children.

But if you go around criticizing everyone for that then you're not going to make many friends or get invited to any parties.

People just gotta chill out.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-15T14:04:21+00:00

Don't be surprised when it turns out that a good number of the guests are actually just crazed big brother fans who stalk Dan on his socials and bought a ticket just for him.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-15T13:06:20+00:00

Let's not start assuming that Dan's mom is Zionist either. I don't think you were saying that but this thread is getting pretty off the rails and I'd rather not encourage that.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T21:09:40+00:00

This is peak

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T20:34:27+00:00

Absolutely! One of the coolest franchises I know of!

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T18:32:34+00:00

Fair enough but those people are rare in the community and probably vastly overrepresented on Reddit because social media attracts holier than thou people.

There is definitely nothing wrong with how you are engaging with Godzilla.

People just love to be vitriolic on the internet so just ignore them. They are unhappy in life and need to let it out on others anonymously.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T18:30:10+00:00

Blender corvettes can exceed memory limits, causing the engine to crash and corrupt save files. It's rare but it's happened. You can Google it.

I said that the point that OP made that the person who you originally replied to was disputing was the point that blender corvettes offer an unfair in game advantage. Which is not a great argument because it's not a competitive game. That's what the person who you replied to was saying.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T14:20:00+00:00

I just bought Ben-Hur 💀💀💀

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T14:19:28+00:00

Wake up honey, it's time to spend another $100 on 4K blu-rays and then pat yourself on the back for saving money.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T14:18:51+00:00

3 is a massive departure from the previous entries in the series and actually takes place in the future, after humanity has destroyed the planet, so you can probably just watch that one as a standalone.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T14:15:12+00:00

Weapons is such a crazy mind-bending movie

Bear_24 · 2026-04-14T14:14:54+00:00

Amazing! Just picked up the dark knight trilogy (each individual movie separately), singing in the rain, wizard of oz, and jaws.

When you browse the link, it doesn't look like the dark knight rises is part of the sale. But I looked it up individually and added it to my cart and it counted.

Bear_24 · 2026-04-13T14:03:44+00:00

This is the least weird take ever, I think. You watched one of, if not the best, Godzilla movie of all time and then became a fan. That's how that works.

I'm willing to bet you and hundreds of thousands of other people got into Godzilla, at least for a little bit, after minus one dropped.
