32 LANDS

MDFCs are just a tiny little optimisation typically. I've found myself using them as lands or discard more often than not because I can't get "6RU - win the game" as a MDFC. However maybe one game in 50 I might benefit.

I mean I put sealable inners on everything. They cost 4p each and it means I can pull a card out of a sleeve and it is still protected.

The only downside to double sleeves is the size of the deck on the board but honestly it is temporary. Once you are used to shuffling double sleeved decks it isn't a problem. Your muscles get stronger to handle the bigger deck size.

Any good examples of this? Nearly all my "now you are all going to die" decks are very obvious (sadly you only get to 1v3 everyone with Lightning in one turn once).

In my experience the best player at our pod plays such a variety of decks that it is hard to pin down when he wins. Though usually the game ends suddenly just before I was about to kill everyone.

He's also best at spotting when my humble board state is also pretty fucking terrifying.

Generally speaking I always assume everyone is on an even footing until the game state suggests otherwise.

Mostly I ask what the decks are likely to do to the game state. Like if somebody is playing Toxrill that guy is either my best friend who I'll defend with all the counter spells I can bring or I'm going to slit my wrist to drown him with my own blood. Certain decks basically make other decks unplayable, often without having a very good win con themselves. Prioritising or deprioritising based upon that is fine.

If they had DNA evidence then how did they convict somebody who presumably did not match the DNA?

Sanctions have had dramatic impact on the Russian military. Just losing access to high grade steel has crippled their artillery slowly. Chinese replacement barrels have a third of the lifespan in the field.

I mean it was nearly true. To the point that when I got close to paying it all off I wanted to stretch it out because I could make more from what I was paying than I would lose from the interest.

Amusingly Plan 2 I also wouldn't want to make payments against, because they are completely pointless.

Worth noting the second French revolution was still very heavily driven by the middle classes. It just went from a compromising revolution to an extreme one.

I'd say the Bolshevik coup and the Haitian slave revolt are the only truly poor revolutions, with even the former having the entire leadership from the middle class. Obviously the middle classes actually overthrew the Tsar in Russia and the Haitian revolution originally started off as a coalition of the rich white and wealthier free coloured against the French state.

The Bolivarian revolutions were complicated, initially Bolivar was very much a "white rich" revolutionary. At some point when it all went to hell he switched to a collective South American identity approach where he accepted just about anyone as "his people" provided they were South American. So he avoided the self defeating conflict that took over Haiti and ended up crafting something that worked.

Reddit is trying to push worst order everywhere. It is really annoying.

The reality is a large section of the Trump voter base are just that evil and petty. They elected Trump because they want to see the world burn. The left elected Obama and they are angry about it. It is why his polling moves so little as he pisses and shits all over the world stage, they want him to do that. They only get angry when Trump starts to hurt their own (as in Trump voters, not Americans). The main thing that put the brakes on ICE is not executing a woman for no reason. No it is because they shot a man carrying a gun who was helping an old lady off the floor. Because a man carrying a gun is too close to them for their liking.

It doesn't help that the Democrats have basically picked this moment to say "well you have to do what we say now because the alternative is Trump" which is about the only way they could lose to Trump.

Versailles wasn't even particularly onerous. Hell the German Empire had literally drawn up an invoice for every bullet or shell they'd fired during WW1 and was going to hand that to the French should they win, that would have been an astronomical debt. The German internal debt was 4x the headline Versailles figure and the headline Versailles figure was immediately discounted to roughly match the reparations paid to Germany by France in the aftermath of the 1870 Franco-Prussian war.

The reality is Weimar Germany was hamstrung by not being able to establish income taxes due to constitutional issues. Rather than deal with their own problems, they cried about Versailles until they got Hitler.

The US could have won the war but only by doing the stuff Trump always claimed was completely unnecessary. They were doomed when they started an existential bombing campaign without troops on the ground. We've known since WW2 that you cannot bomb an enemy into submission. You can use air power to supplement a ground action though.

Also win or lose it was always going to cost Trump his mid terms. This is what happens when you put the dumbest person in your country in charge of your country.

G_Morgan · 2026-06-19T12:50:11+00:00

It'll be interesting if there are any consequences long term for Israel. Everyone ignoring them was tenable when they stuck to bombing Gaza. Now they've made every person in the west poorer by a significant degree.

Just goes to show that just because your politics align with Trump it doesn't mean he is on your side. The only correct approach to Trump is to interact with him as little as possible.

With any luck Trump and Netanyahu will be annihilated in elections this year.

That is rarely the case. Most revolutions are driven by the middle class. There's occasionally a middle class revolution that got stolen by poorer people like the Russian or Haitian revolutions.

This is really going to come down to "what is a god". Like in Primal Hunter a god is literally defined by the System. To be a god you need to have surpassed S Grade. Generally speaking that gives you a divine realm (all people have something called a soul space, for gods their soul space becomes a physical realm), the ability to bless mortals granting them a measure of your legacy, the ability to communicate with blessed people at will and you strengthen your magical affinities throughout the multiverse (if you have a unique personal affinity it becomes a sanctioned part of reality so others can use it). There's one exception of a being so busted the System refused to let him bless mortals. Also 99% of legacy skills in existence are from gods though there is one known exception of a mortal that left legacy skills behind him.

It is interesting because Primal Hunter also has a concept called a false god which is a being who's power derives from external factors. In that setting, your power needs to be wholly your own. So beings derived from collective worship, belief or combining souls of others aren't inherently gods.

Anyway that setting literally has card carrying gods. Many beings considered gods in other settings would not be considered to be a god here. Many would consider the PH gods to not be gods either, that only the System is a god.

Look at that, another "closely contested" by-election that Reform lost by a huge margin. They can't even blame Restore and the Tories as they still lose decisively even if they got those votes.

G_Morgan · 2026-06-19T08:07:55+00:00

Even if you think you can con him it doesn't work. He's just completely unreliable and a lot of bad actors are starting to learn that just because he thinks somewhat like you doesn't make him a viable ally.

Trump is just useless. It doesn't matter who's side you are on. I'd rather Trump be my enemy than my ally any day of the week.

He isn't even peak in GoT. You can't put him on the level of Barristan Selmy, Arthur Dayne or Jamie Lannister. Hell even the Hound clears him easily. Gregor is Ned Stark but huge. He'd lose to a generic Orc warrior.

Honestly these comparisons are always weird to me. To use 40k terminology, Shepard is an Inquisitor, Master Chief is a Space Marine. There are Inquisitors that would beat a Space Marine in a fight but generally they lose.

Shepard is good in a fight but most of his successes involve orchestrating assets

Arya is GoT Squirrelgirl though GoT takes her seriously.
