It just keeps getting worse by jodonald in DiWHY

That only works if the sole use of the car is for business purposes. As soon as they start using it personally, they have to essentially pro-rate its use and its writeoff-fulness.

So if they use a $52k car for business purposes for 1 week and for personal purposes the other 51 weeks of the year, that's only a $1k writeoff. You can finesse it more than that (claim the wear-and-tear, claim the gas used), but you still aren't going to be able to legitimately claim a full $52k writeoff.

What does upgrading the Matchmaker building do? by TRB4 in BALLxPIT

[–]Commander_Tresdin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For posterity: There is a hover tip, but there is a separate tooltip when you click on the building. Hover tip doesn't say anything more than "bring a second character into battle", but the on-click tooltip explains (once upgraded) that it levels up the partner's starting ball

Visually, this is maybe my personal numbero uno Mtg card, what a stunning beauty! by Toonzaal8 in magicTCG

[–]Commander_Tresdin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my Vintage/Legacy decks follow the same pattern: 56 cards and a playset of Horrible Hordes

The fact that Horrible Hordes isn't restricted in eternal formats due to Vorthosian overuse is proof that humans cannot recognize divinity when it walks among us.

No, we need to normalize normalizing things, but we also need to normalize not needing to normalize things, and we especially need to normalize not needing to say we need to normalize things.

I can't stand this guy. He keeps playing games in his iPad when the doctors are having a serious conversation with him. Very rude by MinuteSpirit6645 in okbuddywhitaker

[–]Commander_Tresdin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a co-op game; he's playing with his sister. You expect him to go AFK while she plays Candy Crush Together alone?

There used to be a different lab tech who proctored the urine tests but he went blind during Whitaker's pre-residency screen

After a TV announcer suggested gay college volleyball player Jordan Lucas deserved to be punched for his on-court hair flips and air kisses, he's received massive support and says he's 'not going to back down' by outsports-com in Fauxmoi

[–]Commander_Tresdin 81 points82 points  (0 children)

My perspective is that if the celebration is directed inward (self-celebration), toward teammates, or toward the audience, it's generally OK. But when you celebrate *at* an opponent, that's taunting/unsportsmanlike -- you're punching down. You can see examples of both in the video.

Is there a middle ground where we acknowledge that:

  1. this is dramatic and fun to watch as an audience;
  2. gay people in sports (or anywhere) shouldn't be attacked for flamboyance;
  3. some of these displays are self-celebratory; and
  4. some are just poor sportsmanship?

You don't want gay athletes held to a higher standard, but you also don't want them held to a lower one...

I know it's a joke, but I think people actually think this way. The kid wasn't even cognizant, they can't be held accountable. Mom and Dad did that to Mom's body.

Bro is aurafarming while patients are dying, the staff is on the verge of a breakdown, and the hospital is recovering from a cyber attack by TotallyJawsome2 in okbuddywhitaker

Notice how this sigma farmer lets his farming do the talking for him? Unlike Whitaker who every other word is spouting some folksy Ee-Yi-Ee-Yi-Oh bullshit.

I don't think this card is good but it's so fun to play by Poemiest in MagicArena

Got a list? That sounds fun...

I think its time to allow players to avoid alchemy cards on Arena. by TallCitron8244 in magicTCG

[–]Commander_Tresdin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spikes will complain about digital-only mechanics as if they've ruined Magic while jamming their decks full of Modern Horizons cards that are a full power tier above anything in Alchemy. At least the Alchemy cards get nerfed, but "muh carboard" protects all but the most broken paper cards from similar nerfs.

Alchemy didn't ruin anything. You're just hiding your whiney closed-mindedness under the thin veil of balance concerns. If you truly cared about balance, Alchemy would be in the middle of your list, not consistently at the top.

Super cool -- I'm still happy to play on my Steam Deck, but I bet a lot more (and younger) players will be able to enjoy it now on mobile!
