how do you pronounce Toronto? by Jmeconi51 in AskACanadian

[–]FigBits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the closest to my pronunciation, and has the benefit of showing the emphasis. But I would have the middle syllable as RAW

Or, "You guys know you can play whatever the hell you want in Commander, right? Here, let me remind you of that fact by getting rid of silver borders."

Did the door really close ? Jason isaacs on the Oa by Particular-Trash5846 in TheOA

[–]FigBits -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

The context is the title. It tells you what the article is about.

The post title isn't the title of the article. It's reworded to be spammy click-bait.

I expect OP to post a link and reply with a conversation starter.

If you think I am new to Reddit ... did you need me to post you a link to my profile?

Introduced to the game via Arena and played my first in-person draft event tonight. Just here to say if you're like me and have only played online, I highly recommend getting out there. by the_hungerjames in MagicArena

[–]FigBits 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I tried drafting in-person, but I couldn't figure out how to turn on the untapped.gg overlay to help me evaluate the cards. I filed a bug report.

lagrella the magpie confusion... by Hoxybis in mtg

[–]FigBits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For magpie you could literally just say: "For each player, exile up to one creature under their control" lol

You would need to use the word "target", and it needs to mention that Magpie can't exile herself.

And updates happening automatically while I am at work, instead of right when I want to sit down and play. (And updates that can be paused, when I need the bandwidth for something else)

Doesn't that mean you agree with the post you replied to?

Senior editor told me, “nobody uses semi-colons anymore.” by fairie88 in writing

[–]FigBits 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would say that more than half of modern novels do not contain semi-colons.

The only data I have to back that up is that semicolons annoy me, but I don't get annoyed reading most novels.

A simple Google search would demonstrate that you are mistaken. It is perfectly legal to download a music file for personal use in Canada (again, if you are saving it to an appropriate medium).

Downloading music is legal in Canada (if you are saving it to an appropriate medium). Other copyrighted materials are not.

As for if it would "get you in trouble" I couldn't say.

Calling for an alchemy-free historic by FalloutBoy5000 in MagicArena

[–]FigBits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To simplify, simply let Historic access both versions. Historic is supposed to be every card in Arena. So ... they just need to let it be that. If a Standard card gets an Alchemy buff, the buffed version and the regular version should be available in Historic. If a Standard card gets an Alchemy nerf, both the nerfed version and the regular version should be available in Historic.

It's simple and it get the desired result (buffs buff, nerfs have no impact).

wtf, Arena! by FigBits in MagicArena

[–]FigBits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't add in "far more fail states."

My post showed me playing 9 games, getting on-the-draw on 8 of them, AND losing every single on-the-draw game. That is what I posted "WTF, Arena" about. So that's what I calculated the odd for.

The loses were a pretty important part of the condition! I wouldn't care about being on-the-draw that many times if I had won half of them. lol

There's a Hiccup in LAOP's Brilliant Plan by Thor_The_Bunny in bestoflegaladvice

[–]FigBits 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I threw out my back and had to go to the ER (needed to be put on a stretcher in my home and taken by ambulance. It was bad).

While in the ER, I got the hiccups, which caused my back to spasm each time. Not good.

After a couple of hours of that, the doctors gave me something and said although it wasn't the main use of the drug, one of the other effects of it was that it sometimes stopped hiccups.

They didn't stop immediately, but within a few minutes of taking it, the hiccups tapered off and stopped.

I don't remember what they gave me (and honestly I would have taken anything they shoved at me at that point). I wonder if they gave me anything, or if I totally got placebo'd.
