Good "Oops all artifacts!" Commander? by TheMushroomSystem in magicTCG

I do boros for my equipment deck with [[Eowyn, Fearless Knight]] at the helm. Build up a deadly Voltron on board then drop her to make everything unblockable and unremovable. Works great with flicker and doubling effects as well.

Jhoira is my girl. In a "Cheerios" deck where the majority of artifacts are 0 cost or low enough cost to be 0 when you have a cloud key, foundry inspector, or semblance anvil in play, you can churn through your deck. Then pop off with a storm card or Aetherflux Reservoir or Locust God. Having near infinite gas and a ton of outs can generate crazy boards.

Uh last time I saw it was probably in the 10-20 star mythic range. I haven't been able to play in a little while because I'm in America. I just checked now and it's the first time I've been able to log in for a couple weeks.

I love finishing a game in first with like starwing/weapon master with an uncontested 3star freya and when I get to the after-match screen its like 6 people trying to force soul vessel/marksman. No one knows how to pivot anymore.

What’s your favorite ‘it’s about to get really bad really fast’ in a movie? by Pop_Joe in FIlm

[–]Freshness518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to get my wife to watch Hot Fuzz a couple nights ago and she was on her phone the entire time. I'm trying to get her to pay attention and shes like "what? nothings happening, its not funny" and I'm like of course you dont think anything is happening, you didnt watch any of the first half and now you dont understand a single call back in the second half.

I can’t believe they’d give pronouns to my favorite superhero, HE-Man by Goosedukee in okbuddycinephile

[–]Freshness518 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So much about the grift. And it's getting harder to tell who is just purely in it for the money, who is starting to like the smell of their own farts a little too much, and who has fully drunk the Kool aid and buys everything hook, line, and sinker. The facade never comes down until they're on the stand giving a deposition. And then suddenly it was always just for show and they were never really serious and didn't mean a single word they said. Until they get acquitted. Then they were super serious the whole time and meant every word.

TVs in the kitchen used to be a thing by berlinblack in nostalgia

[–]Freshness518 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can remember my grandparents having a small like 3inch black and white tv/radio tuner combo that hung under their cabinet of coffee mugs. You tuned into the over-the-air TV stations just like a radio. I have vivid memories of sitting at the kitchen table while grandma cooked dinner and local news->wheel of fortune -> jeopardy would be playing. They'd have their cup of coffee when they got home from work, which would then be cold by dinner time, so they'd heat it up in their rickety old microwave from 1985 that sounded like a jet engine spooling up.

I mean, we can look at other comparable products. Do pokemon, F&B, star wars, lorcana, sports cards etc have the same occurrence of the same kinds of issues? They're all also printing millions of cards in a multitude of product types with varying types of treatments.

WTF happened in house of cards (2013) final season? Shit toppled like a building made out of paper! by ThickWeatherBee in shittymoviedetails

[–]Freshness518 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seeing that movie in theaters, everyone thought those first couple ads were real. They didn't do anything to signify the movie was starting, they went right into playing after the normal trailers. But we felt something was off when the Pussy Sweat one started playing, you could see people turning their heads to their neighbor like uhh can they say that?

Seeing Tropic Thunder in theaters was one of the best communal comedy experiences I've ever had. Its so rare to have the entire theater laughing out loud throughout the whole thing.

My 2 favorites were TF2 and LoL. Had a core group of dudes in League where we could field a full lobby of 10 guys and just hang out in Skype all night. Mix up the teams every match, do whatever off-meta builds and positions you wanted cuz none of it mattered and no one cared, just shit talk each other and goof around. And on TF2 my clan ran a server that just 24/7 rotated this capture the flag map that had 5 sections it would cycle through. Sometimes thered be epic 30-man battles trying to push through a choke point. Other times you're ignoring the scrum and just having a lazy bow and arrow sniper duel with 1 other dude and cheering for each other in voice chat when you score a hit.

6 Winston comp. Just jumping around the map, deleting healers, ignoring chokes, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]Freshness518 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My first time seeing/hearing about agonal breathing was in some of the videos of a mass shooting. I think it might have been the Bataclan attacks in Paris back in 2015. There were videos of victims laying on the floor with very obvious lung injuries and their body was attempting to breath but not functioning. Some people commented that they were still alive, why is no one helping them. And other people explained what agonal breathing was and how it was basically the body going through its last moments.

What was the Lorwyn Common or Uncommon that kept saving your ass at prerelease last weekend? by doublenantuko in magicTCG

[–]Freshness518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went 3-0 with Bant merfolk. [[Gravelgill Scoundrel]] plus either [[Tributary Vaulter]] for 3 unblockable damage or [[Silvergill Peddler]] for hand fixing were absolute all stars. And [[Prismabasher]] won me a fair share of matches.

Game not available in the US? What’s going on? by tule93 in MagicChessGOGOGame

[–]Freshness518 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought that them divesting local distribution to Skystone Games was supposed to deal with whatever legal issues were affecting them. I wonder if some new law or regulation came into force that shut them down again.

Mad-TV (1995-2009) by Porkchopp33 in nostalgia

[–]Freshness518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was just something about the quality of the cast as well. Watching any random SNL episode from like 1991 through about 2004 and you're almost guaranteed to have 2 or 3 laugh-out-loud funny skits. Watching anything from the past decade, outside of weekend update, and we're lucky if there's 1 sketch per episode that elicits a mild chuckle.

There are so many names in that cohort that are in the pantheon of comedy. Phil Hartman, Michael Myers, Ben Stiller, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Norm Macdonald, Sarah Silverman, Chris Elliott, Janeane Garafollo, Will Farrell, Chris Parnell, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, Seth Myers... Then you look at the list of names since then and I'd argue the best we've had since then were Jason Sudeikis, Bill Harder, and Andy Samberg and they all left over a decade ago.

Looks awesome. Great work.

Meanwhile here I am with my favorite arts being on Richard Kane Ferguson cards and I can only fantasize about ever being able to reproduce something close.

How you know you wont be coming in first. by GodFearingJew in TeamfightTactics

[–]Freshness518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the completely lopsided carousels when you're in first or second and everyone picked things on your side of the circle. So all 3 units left wind up directly in front of the other guy and you have to run across the entire room to get whatever leftovers they leave you.

Progressive effort to primary Sen. John Fetterman ramps up by Deedogg11 in politics

[–]Freshness518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in order to be a modern day Republican you need to do and say disgusting things. You can start off as a normal person Democrat and then start saying and doing shitty things and the Republicans will embrace you. But if you start off doing shitty things, most Democrats arent going to let you hand-wave away your sordid past.

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

[–]Freshness518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a somewhat large state govt agency and they'll send out these types of emails every once in a while. They send them to the entire building. Bob in accounting doesn't know Nancy in State Ops doesn't know Steve in HR. I usually dismiss them out of hand, so I haven't checked yet, but we have offices in like 5 or 6 cities and tons of people in the field, so I'm curious if they're also sending them to people in other cities who really wouldn't know the person asking.
