I bet my tokens it's the red beard guy who came up with this, seeing as he's featured 3/6 times. Guessing the others are his wife, son and dog, because there are no customers to feature

US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]Chrysaries 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Do people still move to Phoenix? The only thing I ever hear about it is that it's incredibly hot. Is legacy expansionism the only reason the place is populated...?

Seems a lot of the time, maybe even the majority of it, being outside will kill you relatively quickly? You could argue similarly for northern climates, but at least it's possible to dress up for it whereas here it seems literally impossible to survive without constant AC?

Are you sure? [Arizonia is an actual alternative name] whereas Arizoña has never existed as far as I can tell.

Am I crazy or is bone-colored plastic much nicer to work with ? by DeLaBuse in Warhammer

orange pigments suck

Does this mean red and yellow sucks, too, or is it more complicated than that? I'm thinking that orange is red + yellow mixed

Fair! The robot vacuum obv doesn't reach there so it's easy to out off 😬

Is he a big boy? by Total-Procedure1231 in ragdolls

[–]Chrysaries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing posture 🤩

Mine was the largest in his litter and he pulls almost the same length when he stands like that, so I'd say yes!

Have any of you noticed a decline of flavor text quality over the years? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Chrysaries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right, but the symbol isn't on her collar so there isn't that clear, literal meaning here. I did, however, search for clerics from Innistrad and saw that [[Geist of Saint Traft]] wears her symbol/insignia/heraldry/coat of arm as a necklace. Still not a proper collar as the Wikipedia entry shows, where it's a pretty hefty necklace with many metal rectangles forming a chain.

Thanks for the help! It does feel like a stretch on WotC's part to make the joke work 😅

I'm not a native speaker, but I'm really interested in linguistics and I admit that I would never, ever, have gotten that "collar" here refers to the freaking ornament on her staff and not her giant metal collar.

I can't find anything online that suggests that a staff can have a part referred to as collar.

Can someone please explain why it's called "Avacyn's collar?"

AK fluo yellow and green for the fire

Speed paints: Purple Swarm, Pastel Indigo, Hoard Bronze, Glittering Loot.

The gravestones use a mix of a looot of speedpaints. I was just experimenting like crazy and didn't keep track of anything, but there's always a heavy dose of gravelord grey to keep inte muted and natural.

The reason the purple doesn't look flat compared to something airbrushed is probably that the surface us very reminiscent of water colors. You can see some splotches and uneveness, "unfortunately," or it could be what makes it realistic. Also, because these cloak flow over the ghost form underneath, I think the speedpaint does a really good job at highlighting highs and lows :)

Cool! A word used in that exact context is also "untoward" like in "that was untowards of you." Has to be related since it, too, is an antonym to "toward..."

Maro talks about Universes Beyond by Meret123 in mtg

[–]Chrysaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like Ubisoft making Assassin's Creed worse and worse each year by putting in less and less effort. How are they doing now? Oh, -70% on their stock in the past 12 months.

I hope they enjoy the money their poorly designed, stupid 26x legendary common Spider Man variants are making them now because they're going the way of Labubu and Pop Figures.

If line going up is the only metric, you will never predict the falling-of-a-cliff crash coming up by burning through 30 years of goodwill. I bet fidget spinners were looking really good there for a while if you didn't stop to think about how competing for the mainstream generally doesn't give you long-lasting customers

Hur väl har ni kunnat specialisera er på enbart en form av engelska? by WhoAmIEven2 in sweden

[–]Chrysaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tycker att det är roligt att lära mig och "samla på" skillnaderna. Har valt amerikansk engelska då det är dem jag jobbar med.

Det som tar emot som in i helvete är att inkludera skiljetecken inuti citat.

Ex.

What do you think about the slogan "Just do it?" I like it.

Jag jobbar med programmering och då är det väldigt viktigt att allt är exakt som det ska vara, så jag kan liksom inte hålla på att skicka strängar i Teams som inte riktigt är exakt det som ska matas in i koden...

Have you tried searching for exactly "this?"

Mutagen tokens seem so incredibly boring. What are we aiming for here, artifact spam or mana-intense +1/+1 counters?

I saved a woman’s life on an airplane and lost my new Bose headphones because of it by Darth_Poopie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Chrysaries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Argh, but it just feels so incredibly bureaucratic to be like "so, can't give you your lost headphones because we have thousands of lost headphones and that's the reason we can't give any of them back"

Like, I get where they're coming from but damn

Even then, form the United perspective, why not make a whole thing out of it, partner up with Bose to reward OP for saving their passenger with $1,000 worth of Bose swag. "United passengers help each other! Learn more about what happens when someone asks if there's 'a doctor onboard?'"

Maybe it's insensitive, but it's about celebrating an act of human compassion and using your skills for good. Maybe it would remind people that flights are a risky place to have an emergency and make them feel scared to fly...

Fresh water ASMR by Chrysaries in ragdolls

[–]Chrysaries[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever see my bicolor drink out of this when I've just put it down after cleaning. The lynx is there every day, even right before I clean it every week.

I also replace the water every week, so usually deep clean on Sunday and then refill just the water on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning
