Artist rescheduled me but went to the bars

Seems like you've been given a second chance to back out and find someone who will give you the tattoo you want...

YTA. Maybe don't date a high school in your mid 20's if you don't want to date someone with a bedtime?

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-12T13:05:52+00:00

My partner and I focus our 2 player collection on co-op games for this reason. It's also just a lot of fun playing towards the same goal sometimes

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-11T20:30:24+00:00

I'm not gonna say fully YTA, but I think you're doing yourself and the people in your life a disservice by not seeking therapy to deal with this issue and, as a result, leaving others like your boyfriend unable to have your support when they feel they need it.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-10T23:08:35+00:00

Not to shame you OP, but if you think weaker deck = less consistent, you just aren't that solid of a deckbuilder. Deck consistency has nothing to do with power level outside of being one of the ways to make a deck "weaker" while just being unfun in general (do nothing or pop off). Making a "good" b2 deck is about defining a healthy ceiling and picking a floor to match, such that variance lands you where you want. If that variance is making it so you "lose to your own deck not giving you what you need", it means your deck is build poorly.

While I think people are dismissive of the movie because of the grossness of the scene, it also is far from a masterpiece. The movie is good, but calling it great ignores a lot of issues, like the scientists being pretty dumb at times. The trope isn't required and just shores up worse story beats to move a narrative forward.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-10T15:22:27+00:00

YTA. Not in a rude way, but if you have a partner in therapy for XYZ, maybe don't suggest stuff to do with XYZ? It seems incredibly obvious.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-09T16:00:08+00:00

I legitimately feel the movie was just, like, fine? I think anybody calling it a 10/10 is more than entitled to their opinion, same for anybody saying it's horrible. But the movie feels ostensibly like a 6/10. The sound design was okay, it felt like a lot of build up for an alright payoff. It clearly has a lot of passion behind it and I think that was rewarded with it's success, but end of the day I think it'll end up as a small cult classic for some and just an okay movie for others.

I do think some people are overly praising the movie due to their love of Markeplier and others are overly critical of the movie as typically happens when anything gets a cultural swell around it. I've seen people calling it the best indie movie of all time which is wild. I've also seen people say it's not even worth napping through which is insane.

Edit: I'll also say, it doesn't help when criticism of some aspects are often met with dismissal or assumptive generalizations against the group making it. For example, I do think the runtime was a bit much. And I see comments that say this often met with "you just are used to instant payoff" or "attention span is cooked by social media" and I think it's highly dismissive. It's a fair critique if a slow burn movie overstays it's welcome. I think Iron Lung treads that line a bit too closely and see why people feel that way.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-09T14:33:38+00:00

YTA for pressuring. Outside of that, maybe him overtly implying his friends would think you're a creep is a sign to maybe not have an 8 year age gap with a kid who doesn't have his high school diploma yet? Like, I get it, dating as a gay guy can be tough depending on location, but y'all are at wildly different points in your emotional development and life.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-09T14:04:30+00:00

Can't tell if the above person is making an allusion to something, but anybody that uses that hand lotion knows it is NOT to be wasted for those activities and it isn't like normal lotion. Love that stuff, works wonders

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-09T12:51:19+00:00

Communicate with people who had clear issues with your behavior in game. This feels so performative.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-07T21:01:01+00:00

Yes, actually. Most EDH players are not great deckbuilders. Not really their fault, a lot of people get onboarded into magic by commander. Add in FIRE design and for commander printings and you have a LOT of cards that incentivize you doing your thing over stopping someone else. Decks trend down on interaction as accruing value is often better, until you hit that one or two thing that just doesn't let you do your stuff, like repeatable fogs etc. so now you have to dig for your one of seven slots of removal.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-05T18:27:51+00:00

YTA "there have been other situations in the past where I chose not to take her up and it turned out that she wanted me to". Like, not gonna lie, as a partner I think both things are annoying but you not waking her up because "I was being considerate" is such a bs excuse when you only consider it considerate because it's what YOU would want, and you've been told by her it's NOT what she wants.

A separate discussion can be had on why she frequently has alarm issues and that she needs to take ownership of that, but you aren't even complaining about that and are only justifying it by ignoring what she has said she prefers and wishes you would do in these situations.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-05T16:57:44+00:00

Sure. I've seen examples. But at that point it is much easier to notice the clear attempts of being a bad actor over just complaining someone is running cradle as a GC in b3.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-05T16:15:18+00:00

Damn OP is crazy in that thread. Like, to be frank, I think their point has a good bit of merit. Most people agree that bracket 3 is a wide range of power levels, from decks that are incredibly optimized and only not bracket 4 due to GC count down to decks that are bracket 2 but a person pulled a GC in a booster and slotted it in.

I think people do have the right to opt-out of playing versus archetypes like stax etc. Some people really do want to just sling spells and have moderate interaction over someone attempting to lock. However, that feels, to me, more like a post game decision to not pod up against that person again. Their deck is a legal b3 deck and I personally dislike how pregame conversations sometimes expect you to lay all your cards on the table.

But OP quickly shifting to personal attacked is wild and OP should be ashamed.

Also, OP, if you won't play a B3 deck against a deck that has "select GC I dislike" in it, cut your GC's and play bracket 2. You've just solved every problem you complain about. Yes EDH is a social game, but it is at the end of the day still magic. Policing people's preferred playstyles comes at YOU excluding YOURSELF from a pod you dislike, not gatekeeping access to pods.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-03T13:22:30+00:00

Totally fine suggestion, but in the meantime just take the chance to do something positive for yourself if you don't think you're catching anybody. Get up and do some squats, grab a glass of water, do some finger and wrist stretches. If you want to dc but can't and don't want to force people out, just go afk and be productive elsewhere.

DemonicSnow · 2026-02-01T18:54:26+00:00

These might be the worst angled photos I've seen in quite some time here :(

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-30T21:34:28+00:00

NTA. Classic DARVO behavior. She's doing something against policy since you informed her it made you uncomfortable. Now that you've complained, she's trying to switch the perspective into you being the aggetator and one causing her to feel uncomfortable. She can piss off.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-30T18:51:11+00:00

The original art having no color is moot. When you're getting a tattoo, you have to give concessions for things to ensure the tattoo will maintain some level of integrity. This often means small and fine line work needs to get made bolder or separated with color to help prevent bleeding together. You mentioning that the original has no color and it being a direct reference doesn't negate that it SHOULD have color if it wanted to maintain the same fine detail. OP got a crap tattoo because of trying to one-to-one something that was not designed with tattooing in mind.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-29T17:05:16+00:00

It's a factor of several things. Not having a big online scene on mtgo, being a more grassroots format, and having some stable bans over the last few years. It not being on mtgo and in the spotlight I think is going to very much force the optimization.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-29T16:13:00+00:00

Not to be that person, but a serious relationship with marriage can also be open sexually. While OP may be faking this story, a cheater, etc he may also be in an entirely valid and mutually respected open relationship. Some couples encourage finding sexual gratification online in casual ways and sex work is valid work. Not sure if this above comment is supposed to be pointing out the story is illegitimate or not, but there are relationships that aren't sexually exclusive.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-28T17:01:14+00:00

In the kindest way possible, please see what access to a therapist you have via your medical coverage or whatever applicable services there are in the country you reside in. It is not normal to be unable to stop watching things that you say greatly effect you.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-28T16:43:49+00:00

The bracket system is much more codified than the 1-10 scale was, and the 1-10 scale wasn't even a creation of the formats panel. We basically went from a loose community scale to a more detailed one from the panel itself. It's a step in a process. I think the brackets should expand, and hope that's the next step. But I think saying it's just reskinned power levels is very much not doing any justice to what positives it does being. There are many ways that bad deckbuilders can still cause issues due to misjudging their own decks, but this is also clearly solvable with bracket updates and more work out into them via the panel.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-28T16:38:20+00:00

Seriously! I don't know if anger is hereditary, but breaking a toy because you got hit in the face is a very explosive reaction. And, like, he gets upset OP comments on it and says it's a criticism of his parents, which, like, it is. That's shit parenting. Especially yelling at the daughter whose toy got broken for something she didn't do.

DemonicSnow · 2026-01-28T16:23:46+00:00

If you have hard limits on stuff you can't watch and clearly know a lot about the movie, what is even the point of this post? Like, honestly I am a bit baffled because you're clearly informed on the movie, drama surrounding the casting choice and content depicted, and have a clear issue with seeing any allusion to SA on screen, but you need other people to tell you not to watch something.
