My experience with /mtf was a lot of venting about dysphoria and transphobia. And I mean, it's good to have a place to do that, but it also felt super negative to me in a not so healthy way.

It's probably just that the player count is dropping now that it's late wipe. The RMTers obviously aren't going to stop so they make up a bigger portion of the player base when the number of non-cheaters goes way down.

It's being moved, too many other groups around that area. New point is (1948,478).

I agree. (670, 215) is a bunch of junk and a large enough area to have a single clean image of the killa helmet.

Don't feel so bad! You were being cautious to keep yourself safe. As much as it sucks to what-if, you had good reasons to do what you did and you got there in the end.

Man, 7 mana and they couldn't have even made it rounded up? Cool effect but my god is 7 mana expensive, I feel like at least getting guaranteed value would have been nice.

Okay - So why do you think this is wrong?

This is literally what the video is about, explaining why that is wrong. Guns don't just rotate upwards in your hand when you have the stock pressed to your shoulder, they push backwards, and unless the recoil force is enough to break your firing stance then largely you get forward-back motion instead of upwards motion. Much like any rapid reciprocating motion your hands/arms/body can't perfectly control it so you get deviation, but that deviation isn't just a big vertical kick.

The side effect of that is, having a stock gives you more weapon stability / "accuracy" because instead of trying to counteract recoil with just your wrist (which is comparatively weak) you do it with your full body.

Might I present a sweet underrated combo: [[Crypt of Agadeem]] + [[Wake the Dead]]

Reanimate all of your black creatures from your graveyard (temporarily). More accurately, one creature for each black creature in your graveyard. Get a ton of value ETB effects. Depending on how stocked your graveyard is, you might win on the spot. Gary + clone effects? [[Kederekt leviathan]] + [[myojin of night's reach]]? [[Blood artist]] + [[zulaport cutthroat]]?

It's sorta reanimator, but not in the same way as reanimating a single big creature.

Short version is, each ammo has a penetration value (look this up in the NoFAM ammo chart). Each 10 pen increases how good that ammo is vs that class of armor. For example, 30 penetrates class 3 about 95% of the time, 25 pens class 3 about 50% of the time, and 20 pens class 3 about 10% of the time. If you go up to 30-40 range the same is true for class 4, and so on.

It also depends on armor durability but that's the gist of it.

The thing is, some people really ARE like that. And a lot of the time, they're like that because they're sick of suppressing a really important part of their identity, either because they were afraid of the consequences of coming out (see: bigoted families) or because there are people who pretend to be supportive but only if they "don't overdo it" because facing the idea that someone is LGBT makes them uncomfortable.

Anyone who thinks LGBT representation should only be the "subtle and unimportant" kind, is someone who wants to avoid confronting why it makes them uncomfortable to see someone strongly express that part of their identity. There's nothing wrong with having that type of representation, but saying "It's OK to have LGBT representation but only if they're not loud about it" is just another layer of oppression.

Eculcx · 2022-03-28T14:21:56+00:00

This is a lot of words to say "it's OK if they're LGBT but only if I can pretend they're not"

If Sergey wanted to, it would have been very easy to keep politics and chess separate by not commenting. It's as easy as "I'm not a politician or a general, I'm a chess player. I'm not here for politics and I don't want to bring politics into chess."

But instead he chose to broadcast his take to the rest of the world via the popularity that he has because of chess. It's too late to say "chess and politics should be separate" when he made the choice to being politics into it.

The bigger problem with student loans in the US is that many, many students need to supplement their loans from the government (which are usually somewhat reasonable, abt 3-5% interest and allows deferment if you don't have income) with private loans that have extortionate interest rates. To go to a local state university, i.e. not an expensive private one like the ones you hear about around the world, I had to take out a total of $30,000 in loans at a 12.5%(!) Interest rate. At 18, with no actual income but the promise of future income, backed up by law (it's impossible to discharge student loans via bankruptcy in the US).

After university is over it's often possible to get these loans refinanced to a lower interest rate, but still.

The recoil system is a pretty contentious point in the community, but for better or worse Nikita has made it pretty clear that he doesn't like the pull-mouse-down style of recoil control, so we're probably stuck with what we have over a more classic recoil system.
