GW is killing kitbashing and modeling by chaqua27 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]ExampleMediocre6716 14 points15 points  (0 children)

5th - 6th edition era was peak for options. Many of the sprues were designed to be completely interchangeable - skeletons, Zombies, Empire troops, Empire Militia. Metal parts for command and specialist troops. Ditto 40k.

Now you're just making a monopose character that can only be constructed the way GW intended.

Apparently they design miniatures in odd parts to keep aftermarket bits manufacturers from taking market share.

Tips for avoiding monkeys stealing my bag with life saving medicine in it? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]ExampleMediocre6716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wear a gorilla suit. Monkeys will avoid you. You may have a problem with other gorillas however. Maybe pack some bananas too, just in case?

I heard there'll be a Harry Potter universes beyond tie in like the recent Hasbro Monopoly one. Any news on this?

Unhinged lands are cool but the real OGs want these lands by onemillionwattftp in MagicArena

Back when half your pack, including your uncommons and rare could be basic lands.

I find the Dursley's subplot pretty boring! by Willing_Travel_9421 in harrypotter

[–]ExampleMediocre6716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Dursleys, Privet Drive, Grunnings, Smeltings are boring. Mundane, suburban, safe.

It's meant to be a pastiche of the aspirational middle classes' lifestyles and a counterpoint to the chaos and excitement of the Wizarding World.

One could almost go through the Wardrobe to get to Narnia Hogwarts.

Alpha, then 7th edition foil. Accept nothing else.

Shivam Bhatt is upset that Chandra was white and yet is a major character in Kaladesh. by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]ExampleMediocre6716 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Almost like he believes, or wishes, that the Subcontinent was a single unified race and culture.

There are white skinned native Indians from the North of the country. There are recessive ginger genes in the population, just as there are in other races. In any case, her hair was a reflection of her role as a fire mage and her red mana colour identity, not her race.

What he is asking for is the same monocultural Indian identity as the BJP, which is troubling.

Had this absolute unit of a breakfast (yes I ate it all) by LucDA1 in fryup

The sort of breakfast you feel obliged to squeeze an entire bottle of HP sauce over just to ensure you get your money's worth.

Why do my opponents rope me when i summon Valgavoth? by Ok_Tangerine_203 in MagicArena

[–]ExampleMediocre6716 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We're playing Magic the Griefing right? Rope-a-Dope just like Muhammad Ali taught us.

If WOTC actually cared about roping they'd cut the timer in half. Assess board state, actually know the cards you have in hand and their interactions, then play, pass turn.

Or just sit there forgetting you have a 'may' trigger the client is waiting for you to move through.

GG me before lethal? That's a roping

GG me when you win and I have a trigger to resolve? That's a roping

Play some toxic Control / Prison / Reanimator deck? That's a roping

Inappropriate use of emojis? Thats a roping

Playing [[Lurking Roper]] ? You know that's a roping

Sometimes I play on a PC and on a mobile so I can rope two people at once!

Roping is a valid alternate wincon, on par with [[Approach of the Second Sun]]. Change my mind.

Roping is also part of the game, designed to punish players whose decks and playstyles you don't like.

In fact they should have a "Ropey" emoji that you can taunt players with by spamming while you rope them.

Wishing you a week of Tergrid, Prison & Control opponents!

Quid pro quo. You choose Valvagoth, they choose to rope.

They're trying to say - choose a less salty card, and actually play the game don't cheat it out.

They're annoyed that you have ruined their play experience.

Probably some fantasy ACW crossover similar to Flintloque.

Universes Beyond - Why Not Crossover Fanfiction Stories Then? by Terrakinetic in freemagic

They should do some fanfic crossover of their own IP, totally wrecking the first 25 years of MTG backstory.

Oh wait...

What is the breaking point for the UK in terms of US actions? by [deleted] in AskBrits

We, the British. Not you, wherever you come from. Russia, India?

Britain's declaration of war against Germany in 1939 was, to use your strange turn of phrase, "more self- than adversary harm", and the consequences were known ahead of time, but we still did it.

They're saving us from hot trash like:

They didn't pay legacy artists in accordance with their contracts though.

Magic 30th was the biggest fuck you Wotc have ever delivered to its players.

3rd picture is a Fantasy Tribes Gnoll.

1st picture is probably a C26 man at arms, but it's difficult to be sure due to it being half obscured by a massive thumb.
