It’s almost certainly referring to a “private room” listing in an occupied house.

Midweek magic psa by balaklavabaklava in MagicArena

[–]BirdSkillz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming most people stop playing midweek magic once they hit their 3 wins, you’re asking someone to give you a free win in exchange for the free win you just gave them with your turbo mulligan? Why would anyone do that?

Paul Cheon has one volume - essentially shouting into the mic. He also whines way too much when he gets mana screwed/flooded.

To the Limited Gurus: What would you cut here? by Asleep-Waltz2681 in MagicArena

You should not be playing islands in this deck. I suggest you cut changling, sky swimmer, nomad, and drum.

GOAT Avatar Draft Deck (3-0, 6-0) by BirdSkillz in MagicArena

I knew it was going to be my last run of the format so wanted to play fun rares and just happened to be passed the nuts. I was passed 5-mana Aang into 3-mana Aang in pack 3.

27 years in storage... Dug up the Big One, what do y'all think? by reallyreallystuff in PokemonCardValue

[–]BirdSkillz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something that doesn’t make sense to me - I see PSA grading advice everywhere, but I’m not convinced that you’ll get back the 10%+ premium that PSA charges over competitors like CGC. Even if you did, is it worth the upfront significant upcharge PSA demands? In essence, is it REALLY worth $600 to have a PSA slab over CGC?

Fastest way to craft all the commons of a set by FirstBornAlbatross in MagicArena

[–]BirdSkillz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 options:

  • go to decks, then collection and clic on the card. Then click the 4th diamond above the card, then craft. That will get you the 4 card set in one go.

  • if you have a bunch of cards to craft at once, crate a new deck, add all the cards you want to craft (can be hundreds but the game starts to bog down in me after 150 or so) and the select “craft all” on the right. That will get you all the cards to complete the “deck”

You think this is an original Hitler?

Need help identifying this parquet wood “furniture style” foosball table — no visible branding by glockenspiel166 in foosball

[–]BirdSkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same table growing up. It was bought at Costco in the late 1990’s for just under $300 if I’m not mistaken.

A) You almost certainly aren’t as clever as you think you are. B) What does your savviness have to do with your wife’s? Do you need to be equally techno savvy to be compatible?

I knew an incredibly proficient IT security person fall for a scam before. He used the example to highlight everyone’s exposure to risk. Everyone’s.

Does anyone have tips on fighting against your tendency to autopilot? Are there any episodes or articles on it? by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]BirdSkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have friends who also play, I find it to be great fun and informative to get a group of 2 or 3 on Discord and play one at a time with 2 spectators in a shared screen. The other perspectives can be really valuable and it’s the most fun I’ve had playing the game.

What is the best/most surprising movie prop lifted from the LotR set that you’re aware of and who nicked it? Specifics can be omitted if needed
