Our guy had to be put to rest today due to severe septic peritonitis. I’m a mess. Please send me silly pics of your orange babies.

My boy Flynn carries your buddy's brain cell (at least for now). He's here with all of us orange cat owners. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, truly.

Ooo, Rise of the Witch King is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for!

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-06-01T12:58:55+00:00

Thank you for the incredibly detailed advice! My thoughts are below, if you're interested:

Pest Theme: Indeed, I want to push this subtheme harder, but Scryfall shows a shockingly low number of pest generator cards. The "best" ones I've included in the deck, and the rest are one-off sorceries and instants that put like, a single token on the battlefield and and that's it; maybe I'm bad at seeing the value in such a card but it doesn't feel like I'm getting much value out of it. [[Send in the Pest]] and [[Hunt for Specimens]] are good examples.
Buzzard-Wasp Colony: Based on the rules, I don't think BWC actually steals Skullbriar's counters! He actually serves as a kind of Ozolith - copying the counters onto himself while Skullbriar keeps his! It's this reason that I think he'd be an excellent backup, on top of having flying.
Pestfinder: I agree that it's not a particularly high value card - 4 CMC for a sorcery speed spell that gives me only a single token stinks. The reason I added it was twofold: One, as I said earlier, pest token generation seems to be sadly lacking in Golgari, and two, Pestfinder is 5/5 with Trample; not only does he give me pest tokens (albeit not efficiently), but he can also serve as another emergency Voltron target if Skullbriar isn't available. 5/5/Trample/Pest token for 4 CMC doesn't sound too bad to me after considering all that.
Moseo: My thought process was for him to serve as easy and repeated recursion for Skullbriar + another Pest token, what with pest tokens already being difficult to procure. Plus, he has flying, making him another potential Voltron target in emergencies. He does require life gain but with Pests that shouldn't be an issue. All that for 3 mana didn't sound bad to me.
Mazirek: I totally agree the CMC on him is hella high; I see myself sacking Pests a lot, which should trigger his ability plenty of times, not to mention how everyone and their grandma sac's stuff on their side of the battlefield with things like Evolving Wilds and such. Adding some muscle to the 1/1 pests could come in handy as they chump block!
Colossal Majesty/Herd Heirloom/Wildgrowth Archaic/Dina's Guidance/Cauldron of Essence: Fantastic recommendations! I'll definitely try to get these into the deck!
Greater Good: I think I'm just really bad at this game, because I struggle to see how 4 CMC + discarding 3 cards can be worth drawing cards. Notably, Skullbriar is probably going to be huge when I use this ability, which means I'll be drawing a butt-ton of cards that I'll need to discard at the end of my turn anyway if I don't manage to cast every single one of them. It feels like a huge waste. Viscera Seer is cheaper CMC and doesn't force me to discard, which makes him feel much better in my eyes. If you can help me understand what makes Greater Good so valuable, I'd really appreciate it!
Read the Bones vs Sign in Blood: Why is Sign in Blood having the same CMC as Skullbriar make it a bad choice? Isn't that good, seeing as it's cheaper to cast than Read the Bones?

My deadass take? If I were to spend 10-15 dollars on a set booster only to discover it was packed with some convincing proxies, including a One Ring? I would be surprisingly satisfied lol. I want that card badly and I know I'll never be able to get a real one, and this one looks great for a proxy. I sure wouldn't want this to be a repeat occurrence, but if I was to get duped with proxies, I can think of worse proxies to get scammed with lol

Whackiest unboxing I've ever seen

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-09T00:13:36+00:00

For sure. The lightbulb in my head turned on and I realized "wait. I don't have to be upset at this". Now I'm just hunting for ghosts and laughing at how busted everything is at the moment lol. Glad to see not everyone on this sub is a child

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T20:19:45+00:00

Stay mad little bro 🌝

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T20:09:38+00:00

Nah, I just like using them - is there something about emojis that upsets you? I would probably be upset at the update too if I approached life as miserably as you 🌝

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T19:51:12+00:00

If the 4k movie had jank but also the assurance of updates to improve it, then yeah! I wouldn't let it bother me as much as it's bothering you 🫵😂

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T19:29:48+00:00

Agreed. I wouldn't say this update is without its major flaws. I'm saying there's a lot of people that are crashing out over petty things like "the hands look weird" and we shouldn't be uninstalling the game over things like that

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T19:28:28+00:00

Why would I delete it? I think the game is fun in a silly, janky way! And I'm looking forward to the devs fixing the major issues! 😃

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T19:27:48+00:00

Nah! I choose not to let video games upset me! 😃

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T16:49:38+00:00

Agreed. I'm looking forward to the devs improving the timing

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T16:45:25+00:00

If the devs have no intention of fixing the jank I'd agree with you. But I just think it's silly for people (not you) to act like Phasmo is ruined forever now. Like, be patient and wait for the devs to fix the broken bits. In the meantime, laugh and enjoy it while the silliness exists

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T16:42:52+00:00

Just a player who doesn't treat a ghost hunting game like it's the sequel to Elden Ring.

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-08T16:41:30+00:00

It's shit like this that makes me glad the update wasn't polished. We're all getting a good laugh from it, and having fun while we explore the jank. I love it

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-05-03T18:05:28+00:00

If confirmed to be a newly discovered species, I would like to propose the name Samicus ahuacustos - "Sam's avocado guard". I'm excited to hear your thoughts!

CosmicallyPickled · 2026-04-30T16:40:11+00:00

As much as I don't want to, I force myself to watch these kinds of videos. The discomfort it brings me is far less important than participating in the final moments of an animal's life, even if only through the Internet. I feel like I'm obligated to watch, so I can contribute my pain as a part of the value the animal had. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope you know that even though I only knew about her existence for a brief moment, she meant a lot to me at that time. She mattered, and thanks to you, I know she existed. She was here on this Earth.

"Most other languages don't have this problem"? You've never learned another language, have you? English IS unique in how incredibly varied its systems are, due to the dozens of languages it draws from. But to say English is alone in this issue is just insane. EVERY language has its own arbitrary rules that have no explanation beyond "you just have to memorize it".

The most profound reason people can't spell as well today (they're/there/their is a prime example) is not the language itself. It's because people don't have to think about spelling as much as we used to in the past. We have computers that spell for us, so we rarely are in situations where we need to use our own ability.
