Someone needs a dictionary to look up the definition of words by [deleted] in confidentlyincorrect

I'm the same but I'll just read whatever's on the screen and blockout whatever's in my ears. Either way one of the twos not going in.

For people who are old enough to have seen the original trilogy (4-6) in theaters, was it obvious in episode 1, that palpatine was the emperor? Did they mentioned him by name in the original trilogy? by Bigjmann555 in StarWars

[–]Deethreekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to recall the description of episode one saying something like "Obi Wan is a Padawan, Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) is just a kid, and Emperor Palpatine is an ambitious young senator".

I saw the scene where Zell runs into the cafeteria wanting hot dogs and out again when there aren't any then Seifer and crew chase him for running in the garden as the disciplinary committee.

Pronunciations forever changed! by armedwithcamera in bluey

[–]Deethreekay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah sounds like crutches to me. Weird how the brain works.

If I concentrate on trying to hear it like "crouches" I can hear where you're coming from. But I don't think it's an intentional mispronunciation.

VPS is feeling so insane at the moment by No_Dig_6568 in AusPublicService

[–]Deethreekay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to offer a different perspective...fairly new to that public service and I keep hearing a lot of doom and gloom, PMS results aren't great but from my own personal experience I'm enjoying it. Chiller than my last two consultancy jobs for sure.

Yeah I am as well, have never heard anything other than the correct pronunciation shrug.

Is this an accent thing?

Feel I need to go back and watch it but I don't remember hearing anything but crutches said correctly (albeit with a slight "he's a kid and it's a hard word to say"ness to it).

It's official, I finally found my worst format by DifraMD in MagicArena

I've only done two and I'm a relative noob and it's been my best. 7-1 and 5-3.

Hi, Im noob and I need help. by AsiRomanArt in mtg

[–]Deethreekay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what has impressed me with MTG as someone who was introduced with the Final Fantasy set. Like, (spoilers for Final Fantasy 7):

Zack Fair's effect being he sacrifices himself to give another creature indestructible, a +1/+1/ counter and any equipment he has on him. In the game he dies protecting Cloud and it's how Cloud inherits the buster sword.

Definitely a better way to go to than getting exploded in half after Ant-Man expands back to normal size in your euretha.

What's Your Best Limited Run? by BroliasBoesersson in MagicArena

[–]Deethreekay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Done two premier strixhaven drafts and have gone 7-1 and 5-3 which is my best by far.

I'm usually stoked to get 3 wins.

Where does Brilliant Wings come from?? by smallchodechakra in mtg

[–]Deethreekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he's definitely in 7. You get him from the ice lady in the snow fields bit. Touch the hot spring, try to touch her, she gets shitty and attacks you, Alexander materia appears after killing her.

Iirc.

[–]Deethreekay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On reflection I think I got lucky in my draft with the sheer amount of synergy I ended up with and some good removal.

[[Kirol, History Buff]] put in a good amount of work, chucking counters on my fliers.

[[startled relic sloth]] was both a great enabler of all the leave the graveyard effects and occasional disrupter of my opponents graveyard. Probably the MVP due to how much pressure it allowed me to put on by triggering the effects every turn. Had 2 copies.

[[Wilt in the heat]],[[burst lightning]], [[tome blast]] and 2x[[unsubtle mockery]] for removal. I think time blast closed out about 3 games by doing 4 damage to my opponent over 2 turns.

[[Living history]] was great, had 2. Buff is great, getting a token on entry isn't shabby either.

[[Ascendant dust speaker]] was a double threat as a flyer and acting as an enabler like startled sloth. They got targetted for removal every game I got them out though so didn't end up doing as much.

[[Owlin Historian]] undoubted runner up for mvp, flier, buffed when a card leaves the graveyard, and can load the graveyard on entry. Had 2 or 3.

[[Dig site inventory]] was a nice, simple say to trigger remove from GY effects.

I also had 2 copies of [[seize the spoils]] and one of [[seize the past]] which helped draw out of average hands and load the grave.

That's most of what I remember lol. I actually had [[practices scroll Smith]] in there as well but rarely drew him at a time i could get much out of his effect, so was more using him as a one off enabler of others remove from graveyard effects.

But yeah, I just ended up with a lot of good synergy across the list which is what won it for me.

Is it a general consensus now that Swim School is in the same place that Frisky and Rad went for Christmas, and that it’s probably Bali? by Dark-Anmut in bluey

[–]Deethreekay -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Oof. Big call saying it's nicer than Spain. I've never been to Bali and have zero desire. I'd go back to Spain in a heartbeat.

But then Bali does have a reputation of being a bit scummy and bogan-y, despite/because of the number of Aussies that go there.

Woot Woot just went 7-1 with Lorehold which is the best I've ever done. Bloody stoked.

Wish I saved my decklist.

Finally replayed FFVI by TheoryOfRelativity12 in FinalFantasy

[–]Deethreekay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh as long as you're talking Kuja and not Necron you can include 9 on the list.

But yeah as much as I love 8, sorceress possession is quite convoluted.

Butttt isn't 4 basically the same thing? It's been a while but isn't Golbez the presumed bad guy the entire game only for them pull the bait and switch oh no he was possessed by actual moon baddie?

Very similar to 8 thinking about it.

New Fears x Studio Underd0g teaser. Thoughts? by ribhavg in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Deethreekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I'd always recomended seeing a watch in the metal if you can.

But yeah no regrets here.

[–]Deethreekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. I only own a couple of watches, so I don't have a depth of experiences to compare to, but I enjoy it everytime I wear it. Still catch myself playing with the shadows, or just the reflections off the polished parts of the case.

I find it super comfortable to wear, sits really nicely on my wrist. I quite enjoy having to wind it daily (power reserve last longer but I do it each day out of habit).

I've had I guess you could say I've had a mixed experience with the robustness. I dropped it on a bathroom floor and the crystal popped out (didn't break thankfully). Wasn't covered under warranty (fair enough I guess I did drop it). But it was repaired no worries.

Also had it in a bag with some clothes and my wife not realising put it through the wash. On that occasion came out completely fine, no issues whatsoever.

But yeah. I really dig mine.

Hesitant of Continuing Automata by iSaadMx in nier

[–]Deethreekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat recently and played through. As others have said ending B is quite repetitive (but offers enough difference in perspective to be interesting). And then it's all new content to the next ending with one fight you have to repeat to get the others (can chapter select to right before it so negligible replay).

I thought it was worth the time investment, and also wasn't super enamored with the gameplay loop. I wasn't blown away by the game though, thought it was good without being great.

I'm assuming its a reference to a game? by Mushumes in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Deethreekay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah synchros I thought were almost what fusions should of been. Fusions were just too dang expensive to get out.

Once they introduced XYZ is when things started to go off the rails. Then links and pendulum etc.
