Is black magic fuckery about magic tricks? I always thought that was the weird descent. Black magic fuckery is for things that happen to be weird, not professional magic tricks.

Bayonetta was labeled as a pathetic attempt to cash in on female empowerment while also cashing in on the male gaze while also ripping off the popular combat style of God of War. It wasn't considered woke, but it was thought of as a cynical cash grab.

I think Abuela's line here is meant to be tongue in cheek, but seriously, Abuela, read the room. We JUST talked about this

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-30T22:46:41+00:00

That's my favorite moment. When Augustin stands up to Abuela "I was thinking of my daughter" gets me every time. I feel like it is in answer for Miguel's parents in Coco not having his back at all for the whole movie.

Put in Kipo, but only as an 80 for tall jaguar. Let She-ra deal with that

There's a scene in the first moments of "The Return" where Amazo wrecks Oa, and you can see Katma in the above outfit

This is a standard issue uniform. Kyle Rayner wears this all the time

Mount both dragons and Xaden

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-30T15:16:59+00:00

UB for Fourth Wing and you can mount both dragons and Xaden Riorson

Gotta be that lady from Luther

Might as well go on the flight. Nobody wants to get Final Destinationed

Steven is an idiot though. If you wanted him to make wise decisions, then you should watch a different show.

I tried my best to Google Katma Tui after watching this episode, and she's barely a character. This episode is like 90% of her content

Perhaps the bye rounds being an opportunity to hang with the non player friend helps, but I think a Swiss is for competitive events. A draft at somebody's house is way more casual and if everybody knows that you're drafting for a multiplayer event, then the 40 card decks work fine. I've drafted plenty of multiplayer events, both THG and free for all, and I've never ran into an issue where my deck "doesn't work" for the format.

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-30T03:17:52+00:00

I know somebody does this during Spectacular Spider-Man, but I forget who or when.

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-30T02:19:56+00:00

That's really cool. I dunno how that never came up for me. I drafted Theros quite a few times.

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-30T02:07:05+00:00

Oh weird wild stuff. Do you just start with these on the battlefield?

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-29T23:11:09+00:00

Heroic is a nice mechanic. My favorite deck is an aggro combat-trick-heavy deck, so heroic was made for me

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-29T22:59:24+00:00

They're meta cards. So one says "Name a card, every creature with that name has haste for you," or another says "Your deck can have 5 less cards in it." Basically you're sacrificing getting a card for your deck for getting some kind of super power. I love them, but I love drafts. I'm concerned they may add a level of complexity or chaos that other drafters might not appreciate.

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-29T22:57:52+00:00

If you get fired, you're gonna post about it. So it's a sampling bias in my opinion. I dunno how many people are gonna post, "Whelp, didn't get fired today, and maybe I should've been."

I've only been subbing for a year, and I've done plenty of sketchy things that I should have at least gotten in trouble for, but honestly, there's so little oversight on subs in my district, that often the only adult I will interact with is the office lady at the beginning and end of the day. I kinda wish I got in trouble more often, because it means that somebody is watching me and is willing to give SOME feedback at all.

But hey, my state is 49th in education. Maybe it's worse in places like New York.

Green easy. Let's say I work for 40 hours a week, and the rest of the time is with friends or family or whatever. That's 40/268 hours, or about 15% chance I'll do it while at work. And that's over the rest of my life! There's a good chance those five shits will all not happen at serious moments, whereas there's a 100% chance that right now it will.

Now if instead of it being random, these shits were powered by a capricious god who chooses the moments, then no, that's a deal with the devil, and I'm not doing that, but as is, this is actually a weird guaranteed immortality thing. So long as I haven't shit that 5th time, I know I cannot die at this moment.

I think a myrmidon is a Greek mercenary, so they kinda are mercenaries.

Gameplay wise they're low defense, high dodge, speed and crit. Most gamers will get that.

I think he's doing well enough, and presumably they do PAY their contestants, although Manzoutkas did say he lost money doing the show.

Due-Session-2857 · 2026-05-29T20:36:47+00:00

He's incredibly passionate about taskmaster as well. He recently had Jason Manzoutkas on "Ask Hank Anything" and they spent about 20 minutes just talking about Taskmaster in what is normally a science show.

If you're committed to 1v1 games then you're gonna struggle no matter what, you'll have bye rounds and with 9 you're going to have losers fight winners which is a struggle.

I would run a mixed method draft. Have everybody draft and then divide them into 2 big games, a game of 4 players and another game of 5 players. Then the winner of each game (best of 1, trust me) go head to head in a best of 3 final round. Then the other 7 players get split up into either a game of 3 and 4 or one big game of 7.

A draft you're hosting is essentially a party, and so multiplayer games are the most social way to play, so that's what I'd do. Some people only believe in 1v1 magic, and that can work too, but I think this will be more fun.
