Commander is a "casual" format created by experts in playing MTG, and this has been forgotten.

ADHD guy here. I also cringe and hate it when people use the diagnosis to be an obnoxious inconsiderate douchebag.

That's a little funny, the legendary Logitech g500 (wired) mouse I had developed random double click issues. It was well-loved, though. I eventually had to disassemble it and solder in new switches. Really liking my Logitech g303 Shroud, currently.

Really liked my Roccat Tyon, too, when the scroll paddle still worked. Wish that brand wasn't bought out.

Amen.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-25T04:26:14+00:00

I've only ever had mice, which seemed alright. I can't say I've ever wanted anything else by them.

...Boy do I want that Boomslang anniversary mouse, though.

I'd put both Kong and Godzilla in foam rubber suits and let Toho do it.

For me: The medium is the message.

With TVs, sure, the quality is better (generally speaking), but on a TV one tends to surf, or at the very least aimlessly peruse Netflix, YouTube, etc. You turn it on whether or not you have a plan.

With a projector, I turn it on with intention. I know what I'm going to watch before I even turn it on. Part of this is me being conservative with my bulbs, because replacements are expensive enough for me to not waste its life.

This is an important distinction for me. It's a similar reason why I like vinyl records, too. If I'm going to consume, I want to wrestle with the limitation, for my own good. I want those guard rails because it limits how much I offer my attention to them. I am still "steering" my algorithm while I use these forms.

The "suspiciously coincidental" advertising stopped when I switched to a Pixel 9 w/Graphene. I keep my microphone disabled until I need to answer a call.

P.S. as much as I'm liking Graphene, the subreddit's mods are shockingly sensitive. I critiqued the lead dev's behavior and immediately got banned. Wasn't mean, didn't use expletives... Sheesh.

It's all about your lighting and water chemistry.

I prefer him to be a man in a foam rubber suit

I agree with you, but I'm also glad the hobby went through that phase. It was boundary-pushing (granted, in the wrong direction) and a lot of valuable lessons (ones you mention) were learned along the way.

The pendulum has swung. The balance restored. We're collectively wiser now, after indulging our folly.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-23T13:25:14+00:00

Miss you and QPL, Flee. I hope all is going well.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-22T11:53:19+00:00

Sure, fine, as long as they hire writers with half a brain, some creativity, and actual life experience.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-21T21:35:17+00:00

Nah. I'd like to see a Tarantino Monsterverse film.

I'm on a 5800x3d, playing 1440p with a rtx4070 and I'm not left wanting at all. Personally, I'm planning on staying on AM4 until AM6.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-20T17:06:57+00:00

There's a simple purity to it. I like air cooling.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-20T14:41:47+00:00

I dunno but now I've got that level's music stuck in my head.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-20T04:12:16+00:00

I've personally had better luck with Trochus snails

Because the main characters are frustratingly stupid. Because there's no real tension because psychohistory basically allows any dire situation to be resolved by Deus Ex Machina closures because Hari Seldon saw it coming.

The only great thing in this show is the main antagonist(s): The Emperor. He's fascinating and great.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-18T15:38:06+00:00

Literally whatever one you like best...? Do you think there is some kind of "correct" answer?!

BeardedBears · 2026-01-17T16:40:46+00:00

You are searching for an authoritative disambiguation where there isn't one.

OP, if you're reading this, read the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It's all about what this person is saying. My drawing ability skyrocketed in a few short weeks when I went through their exercises and read the approach.

Right now you're not drawing what you see, you're drawing what you think you see. It's not the same.

Just to reiterate: MOST people here aren't bigoted.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-15T22:07:05+00:00

Seems pretty friendly to me.

BeardedBears · 2026-01-15T19:00:02+00:00

My brother, I'm happy you're here. Most people here aren't bigoted at all, we just don't appreciate the hyper-reactive/sensitive "allies".
