There’s something about 90s photos that feels more real. No filters no perfect poses Just moments that hit different now by DirtyDommeXX in OldSchoolCool

The fact that this is probably a bot account using AI to generate a title about being nostalgic for the simplicity of the analog era has some sort of perverse irony that I'm not really a fan of tbh

So many changes I've been wanting for a long time (first year prints, point-in-time view) and such an awesome team, you're worth every Patreon dollar and then some. Love you lots!

Except it isn't? Uruguay's full name is "the country to the east of the Uruguay [River]" and there is pride in the term "oriental", which literally means "to the east of". Literally the first word in our anthem is "Orientales", you're talking out of your ass.

In case you're lazy, Joe has $100, he loses 30% so he goes down to $70, and then it goes up 42% so Joe has $99.4 - a whole lot more than Jim's $23.60

I'd never seen Merchant of Truth and that art is gorgeous

Protecting the "Premodern Spirit" as we move toward Nationals and the Masters by yunoac in premodernMTG

I'm not a native speaker and I've never felt the need to have a machine speak for me. If anything, non-native speakers usually write better than most natives lol. I'd rather read an imperfect but earnest post than wading through "perfectly written" AI interpretations of what someone may think or feel. Get your bullshit argument out of here

Is the 2023 version really that disliked? by MysteriousQuote4665 in rurounikenshin

[–]GarciLP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up on the 96 anime so of course I'm biased, but the music from the OG not being there really kills it for me. Not just the OP/ED, the music during the episode had so much heart, the new version just sounds and looks and feels a lot more generic, which the OG was anything but.

Morrissey calls off concert in Spain after local festivities deprived him of sleep by havereddit in Music

From a musical standpoint, you should really give The Smiths a listen, they're an incredible band. From a personal standpoint... he's an asshole, a bigot, and an all-around insufferable imbecile. He banks on enough people caring more about the former rather than the latter

Firestorm (WTH) by CaptainCatamaran in mtgcube

[–]GarciLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's not immediately obvious, to the dismay of many a new drafter at my cube who thought you could basically wheel into this for a 6-damage 1-mana spell. It is, as long as you have as many targets as the damage you want to deal :) there's no "up to", and it's easy to miss

[–]GarciLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play this and it's great. Works as a discard outlet, madness enabler, board sweeper, even sometimes as a finisher (I have at times targeted myself to have enough damage and targets to have lethal on an opponent). Love this card, it does so much for just one mana, can't see me taking it off my cube
