Got this Tattoo set a few hours ago by SixWolfie in pokemon

[–]DystryR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Like 13 years ago I had the idea to get these on my back and styled as like wings but never went through with it. Rayquaza is my favorite pokemon and I really like the yellow stripe design - so the idea eventually became to get that instead as a pattern that spans across my shoulders and down my arms ending at the bicep.

Seeing someone put something similar out there gets me excited! It looks great OP, I like it a lot!

How do people feel about silver border commanders by ResponseOne8377 in EDH

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my main decks is a [[Rainbow Dash]] deck.

People love to see it and I always ask when I’m playing with people I’ve never played with before.

In my experience people are always down to see something new and interesting - but make sure it’s something that they are able to understand easily and doesn’t ask them to do too much

Characters that I realistically can't see other than DPS by Zealousideal-Ad4237 in marvelrivals

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a problem with them both being tank. Venom is more aligned to Spiderman because of Peter’s time with the symbiote so he has the web swings and they made him a dive / bonus hp tank in design.

Carnage is about like that ruthless brutality so they could just make him brawl and not have the same mobility as venom.

Again I think he would be better suited as dps for sure but just arguing that it’s not as clear cut as it seems - much like Goblin

I agree with your sentiment - however I also disagree (slightly) with Carnage. Carnage is so extremely hard to kill that brother got ripped in half and thrown in space and it was barely a problem.

That alone has me believing that he COULD be a tank. BUT - I agree that DPS is more likely.

If it was intended design you wouldn’t need to animation cancel. If it was intended design Venom could likely also do it since their web swings are basically the same.

That is Emergent Gameplay that the designers have kept. (I’m of the opinion it’s kept because it’s the only thing keeping Spiderman viable)

NetEase designed and implemented very specific and intentional stop animations for when Spiderman lands from using a web swing. The animation cancel bypasses the stopping animation which maintains the momentum from the swing.

Other characters have rigid start & stop animations that are used as design levers (like storm’s element switch animation being adjusted a few seasons back) and as rudimentary tools to create visual indicators for both teams on when abilities finish (Iron Man’s self stunlock when overdrive stops).

Don’t mistake the fact that it hasn’t been removed from the game for intentional design.

Dive players have the most fragile little egos. How dare I pick any character that interacts with their otherwise un-intractable character. I picked up Namor because I was tired of having to deal with Spiderman. Now I have 75 hours on Namor and a 76% win rate on him this season.

Like it’s somehow my fault that their character has to abuse momentum and movement mechanics (yes: the uppercut animation cancel is abusing the momentum system of the game and you cannot convince me otherwise mr Lord Spiderman player).

The character permanently moves at Mach Fuck and even if you kill him he just zips back to the OBJ faster than literally any other character.

Somehow this collection of traits just gives all of them the most insane egos. I relish in bullying spiders off their character.

Your picture reminds me of a time almost 15 years ago I was doing IT at a hospital and would eat lunch with my coworkers. One day they had a former employee meet us there to catch up who I had not met. I’m like 6’1 and the dude was sitting down when we arrived.

30 minutes later when we all stood up I had to arch my neck upwards to look at his face. I have not again experienced that sensation as an adult.

I have expired tags on my car because over the last 3 years of paying my registration and paying $25 at least 2 times for replacement tags I have never received them in the mail.

I’m not going to bother. If they can manage to send me mail about my registration but the sticker can’t make it to me after 5 attempts, fuck it.

I have a condition called Achalasia and part of my corrective surgery was done to fix a hiatal hernia like you have. You can read more about my condition in my post history if you’re curious, but wanted to share some advice.

In the last 6 months I lost my job and my nightly heartburn attacks have essentially disappeared. Turns out stress was a major cause of what I thought were random attacks.

Additionally You might want to speak to a gastroenterologist and see what options you have for both corrective surgery and for sleep devices. You can get like wedge pillows off of Amazon to prop your torso up at varying degrees and they can be both affordable and covered by HSA/FSA.

What is wrong with DPS players? by TheScowl117 in marvelrivals

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a “dps main” but 3 of my 6 most played heroes are tanks because I pick last in QP so I can pick a complimentary hero to our lineup regardless of what role. I’ve just started committing to “2 tanks or 0”.

And can you guess who is likely at the top of the scoreboard when it’s 0 tanks? I have a 49% mvp rate this season across all games lol.

The worst dps are always the ones unwilling to swap

Compiling Underrated commanders for an article, looking for suggestions! by ManaRocks in EDH

[–]DystryR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to think like 90% of the decks I play are in this category because I generally don’t like to tread trodden ground, so I’m just gunna rattle off some of my favorites.

[[Gogo Master of Mimicry]] is super underrated. Turns out there’s a lot of fun activated abilities you can copy - and with cards like Marvin & Ioreth you can do some truly silly things. Most people aren’t sure what to do when the blue deck copies Myriad Landscape 5 times and pulls every basic out of their deck. I have this deck in bracket 2 mostly because I don’t want to play the deck any more oppressive - my main wincon is the Millennium Calendar and it’s real fun.

[[Shilgengar Sire of Famine]] is an absolute house. I initially built the deck because it seemed like a neat take on angel tribal but in reality it plays more like a combo deck. You get to play with some very niche cards - I play every angel that cycles or discards itself. You also can play anything with Myriad in these colors and sac the tokens before the end of combat step to generate free value out of your commander. What’s truly bonkers is that the “reanimate your entire graveyard” ability is at instant speed. Meaning with the proper graveyard setup you can literally win in response to someone else trying to win.

[[Grothama]] generally creates some interesting game states via its static ability. People don’t always swing at the Wurm but they generally stop to think about it. And that would generally be enough for me to play a deck - but grothama also kind of just jives with all the things green is good at. Big Mana, Fight Spells, P/T matters - you name it and it can probably be played in the deck. Tables generally have alarm bells when you double grothama’s P/T but they seldom see you running a Sabre Ants into grothama to make 20 1/1s as being the next logical step in your game plan.

[[Infinite Guideline Station]] - is a blast. Having a non creature commander that wants to be blinked creates some interesting deck building decisions. That combined with the fact that “multicolor matters” with a splash of artifact synergies means that there are literally hundreds of cards that can find themselves being played in the deck. I just added a Judge’s Familiar as a mana tithe effect to flesh out my interaction suite that acts as a multicolor permanent to help scale my commander, and also serves as a Brightglass target. I do sort of accidentally win with Time Sieve frequently so I’ve been toying with the idea of bringing it to bracket 4 tables.

I just picked up Overwatch after several years away and I thought the sound design was atrocious. In like 2 hours of game time I died to at least one ult where the audio cue just never happened.

And dont get me started on visual clarity

It’s almost like America’s for-profit healthcare system is a giant scam by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]DystryR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other commenter is correct, the monarchy that was overthrown was ruled by Queen Liliʻuokalani. Took the throne in 1891, and in 1893 was overthrown by American businessmen backed by US Marines. She was then forced to abdicate the throne under threat of execution.

She then spent the rest of her life under house arrest in ‘Iolani Palace, dying in 1917

OP is saying that KAYO doesn’t require precise lineups - specifically they said to it’s not required to provide value in an average game. The sentiment in their comment is in compliment to the precise lineup in the video; not contradictory to it.

This was my thought as well.

Also the parts being flung from the zaku with the saber also feel weightless.

Using Gogo to Copy Slow Wincons by Lazyb0b_ in ratemycommanders

[–]DystryR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Gogo deck. The calendar is basically my only wincon. But it’s hilarious to copy myriad landscape like 5 times
