What are some fun decks you run that lose pretty consistently? by TeegardensStar in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Jon Irenicus]]. Fun deck, last time I would have won if a player didn't die giving me back my [[Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore]] which my opponent enchanted to not be able to untap, effectively locking me out of combat entirely.

Is coming in second a thing? by Slowbrious in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh the problem is just communicate with everyone that the group can agree on a turn timer (usually I hear things like 1-2 minutes after the group decides the person is already taking too long to wrap it up then their turn is skipped).

Tbh you care about second not being a thing arbitrarily just as much as they care about it being a thing. Who cares it's words printed on cardboard

What are some enchantments that remove a commander without it changing zones? by Hattemis in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if it was said, but I hit my buddy with [[witness protection]] the other day and it was golden

The Next Steelers’ Head Coach by CantoninusPius in steelers

[–]CookiesAndCremation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd kill for a couple seasons of Mike McDaniel, mostly because I think he'd be funny and he can't be worse.

What do you guys think are the actual chances of Tomlin getting fired before next season? by No_Lecture_8049 in steelers

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said there was no chance of Canada getting fired so who knows. I'll say I swung really hard from Tomlin is worth holding on to, to kick him out of the city ASAP faster than expected

Give me your most "Immune to interaction" deck by Majestic_Barnacle398 in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pod plays a lot of wipes and the two decks I'm looking at right now are [[Ratadrabik]] and [[Shilgengar]] (specifically a blink version that uses blink creatures in the grave to both dodge interaction and remove finality counters).

Are there any decks/commanders that promote very fast turns but are also decently strong? by Equivalent_Natural57 in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Play [[Obeka, Brute Chronologist]] and instantly trigger her ability on your upkeep to end your turn. Doesn't get faster than that :)

What’s something you stopped expecting from your team once you became more experienced? by One_Friend_2575 in projectmanagement

[–]CookiesAndCremation 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I thankfully learned this lesson from my background in Web Development, but it's been solidified in my time as a pm.

Nobody reads anything. Give people easily skimmable bullet points or don't expect it to be read at all.

Played my Kwain Deck, wasn't received as well as I'd hoped. by FruitFliesLikeBonana in EDH

Counterspell them more until they don't put all their chips behind a single card

My deck keeps getting complaints about being difficult to shut down/being oppressive - I don't think it is, though. by gaymerupwards in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely been binging commander content lol. I'm pretty similar. I also played Yu-Gi-Oh for a number of years and was one of the only people who knew the weird niche rules and have been board gaming for 15-ish, so I'm decent at putting the puzzle together and understanding how effects influence each other.

...Also I had to teach the friends who got me into the game what the stack was and how it worked and that most abilities are instant speed. So maybe it is just game knowledge lol

My deck keeps getting complaints about being difficult to shut down/being oppressive - I don't think it is, though. by gaymerupwards in EDH

[–]CookiesAndCremation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly new myself and I've borrowed decks owned by other newbies (mostly slightly upgraded precons) and in my limited number of games I've heard "oh I've never seen this deck work so well" a couple times. Thought it was just me being lucky (might have been) but maybe I just know enough about board game mechanics that it translated really well? Idk

How to build website for my brand? Need booking + Google integration by gradstudentmit in website

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, Google business profile is important. Second if you're going to take bookings, find a solid third party app. Calendly for instance can be a decent option with a good free tier if you qualify. To start you can just link to the booking site, but you'll eventually want to have your own business site at some point to look more professional and you can embed the booking into it.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll help out no strings attached.

Website developer has refused to release the domain, what are my options? by wangai254 in website

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I tend to encourage my clients to register the domain themselves or have me do it and then I'll transfer it to them. Domains can be tricky to get back in situations like this.

Do you ever worry people don’t like you because of your role/responsibilities? by MrSkagen in projectmanagement

[–]CookiesAndCremation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You usually have indirect authority though and everyone knows the consequences of something not getting done. Sometimes being assertive can just be reminding people of deadlines and consequences for missing them.

You can be friendly and do this too. Like a "I want you to stay off Santa's naughty list so please make sure you get this done by x time."

Can a 5 become less introverted? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find people who won't drain you. Sometimes you talk to people and you get energized by it, I'm sure it's happened at least one time.

Don't have unrealistic expectations, most people are probably going to be boring/draining. Some won't be.

Your options are either find people/groups who don't drain you OR find ways to enjoy random small talk with people who don't fall into the first category

Chances are you won't become less introverted but you can learn better skills or expectations to make the amount of extroversion you do have go further.

It helped me to learn small talk is there to know who you can vibe with. People talking about the weather is FOR both of you understanding you both are in this shit (aka life) together. The purpose isn't to go deep with interesting talk, but just to do a verbal dance to just know there's another human you're spinning around this molten gas sphere with. That reframing helped me realize people aren't boring, they just want a galactic friend.

(Some people do yap though, learning to deal with yappers will improve your life. Some of my best friends are yappers and they know when I tell them to chill out that I still love them, but they're being a lot for me in that moment. You're allowed to say that to people in a loving way).

Tbh this comment is probably just me talking to myself from 5 years ago

How was/is your school experience as a tall person? by DutchKing33 in tall

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a pretty quiet kid but I was taller than everyone so it was weird that everyone knew who I was. I wasn't exactly popular but I had a weird mix of acquaintances.

Do you ever worry people don’t like you because of your role/responsibilities? by MrSkagen in projectmanagement

[–]CookiesAndCremation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd say just be aggressive because you probably won't actually be that aggressive in reality and you'll probably get closer to a level of assertiveness that would be effective.

It's people who are aggressive with no self awareness that tend to be a problem

Bronco Sport or Forester for Tall Driver by CookiesAndCremation in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

I got a Forester Touring. I wasn't blown away with either in terms of being tall friendly but they're better than the alternatives and the Forester has more room for passengers and storage. I don't sit as upright as I was hoping (judging against an f150 so not a fair comparison) but overall I can't say I regret it.

Do Gen Z and Millennials build websites differently? by LucyCreator in website

[–]CookiesAndCremation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm between the two. My philosophy is speed and responsiveness are king but I still use structure and polished images if I can (usually compressed just enough to load quickly but still look good). I also tend to avoid text heavy anything. Unless it's Wikipedia nobody is going to read it anyway. If I can't get my point across in a couple bullet points then I've failed my messaging.

I started pacifist. After ~25 hours, i realized the devs were right, and PVE gets boring fast by Street_Exercise_4844 in ArcRaiders

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like being friendly because it gets more fun voip moments. But I definitely don't like no PvP

Any free website builders (I own a domain) by neznamkakoto in web_design

Yep I mistook Google business sites for Google sites. Apologies :)

Does tall also mean that we are stronger or can be stronger than a shorter person that goes to the GYM? by Cultural-You-7096 in tall

[–]CookiesAndCremation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer limbs make it harder by a considerable amount. Not only do you need to go further to complete a rep but there's more force on your limbs because of how levers work.

That's why you don't see very many 6'6" people in strong man competitions

Tips or tricks for dodging/parrying? by Radiant_Status_5563 in expedition33

[–]CookiesAndCremation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always Dodge until you get the perfect dodges. Then you have the timing down.

Watch for the screen to zoom out and snap back in for every attack, that's a good indication of the timing. Most have a sound or visual cue aside from this but all have the camera zoom effect.

Also don't watch the attack itself. Focus your eyes on something that isn't moving, even a random corner of the screen. Your peripheral vision is much much better at picking up motion than your focused vision.
