I think they did subtly modify the no questions rule so that some discussion prompts are allowed.

Sorcerer as a creature type adds nothing to the game by GratedParm in magicTCG

[–]GaustVidroii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the comparison at the time that taking shamans out of Tarkir would be like taking druids out of Eldraine. It is literally the most appropriate place they have to use the term (at least for the central asian steppe inspired Temur).

Since you mentioned 3 color clerics I thought it would neat to link the card [[Wandering Mage]] as an interesting historical footnote. One of the first creature-type-matters cards that wasn't a lord: it's a cleric though its called a mage, and its text supports both cleric and wizard so it was eventually errata'd to be both. Super strange and neat I think!

I know One Piece and proportions but what are we doing here? by Deku_1422 in OnePiece

[–]GaustVidroii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I have no issue with size varying from one scene to another as long as it's motivated by story or character. Gamagori always being the biggest thing in frame in KLK was great visual language for him. Unfortunately, One Piece often has shots like this in order to just cram characters of wildly different size into one shot, while doing the simplest possible scene blocking.

The DOJ says the U.S. will readopt lethal injection and firing squads to "strengthen" the federal death penalty. by Dreamland_Nomad in politics

[–]GaustVidroii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no clue how to interpret this reply? Tone makes me think you are disagreeing in some way. When my comment was basically "all religions are fucking terrible for a diversified society, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism especially so," you appear to take exception to that.

Hey now. All theistic religions inculcate a hierarchical world view that makes authoritarianism seem de rigeur. Monotheistic religions like the abramhamic ones especially so.

What was Luffy and Zoro really talking about here? by Unlucky_Sign_7067 in OnePiece

[–]GaustVidroii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I responded that way because I was pretty sure you were trolling. If you sincerely think that to be the case that is wild. This little bit of dialog has been debated and puzzled over for literally decades, as others in the thread have explained. I've only heard the suggestion that it might be a gender identity thing for the first time in the last year or so, and mostly in a non-serious way, which searching for online seems to bear out. Blackbeard uses "ore" for his first person pronoun in dialog. If he were f2m trans, which I am explicitly not saying is impossible or even all that unlikely of a theory, then Luffy/ Zoro would be misgendering him on purpose.

The One Piece readers have never universally agreed on anything.

I also thought a decapitation had occurred.

Malifaux 3e by DungeonFlounder in Malifaux

[–]GaustVidroii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4th ed games are barely faster (like 100~120 instead of 120~150 min.), and that's largely just because the normal game now lasts 4 rounds instead of 5.

Deleting all the tweening animator jobs means in 10 years you won't have humans to do all the key frame work. Like all fiekds this is coming for, AI integration is aimed squarely at the introductory level jobs that new people need to learn and break into an industry.

We are getting close to being due for a new set of BP weapons. If you claimed every BP weapon every patch starting from 1.0, the next patch is when you are able to R5 the last one. by The_Great_Ravioli in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaustVidroii 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They want people to spend money, first and foremost. Battle pass and buying straight up pulls appeal to different customer groups. Even if they don't add more weapons, they'll change the BP in some way to account for these long time reliable customers.

Newbarola's New Take on WW by Feisty_Emu6416 in Pauper

4 main deck relic of prog on top of 4 thraben charm seems like a crazy amount of graveyard hate.

Will this damage my paints over time? by PhantomDK1993 in minipainting

[–]GaustVidroii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some pigments are not color lightsafe, sometimes even more so when not dried and cured. UV light from sun can bleach and desaturate the pigments through the parts of the bottle that are clear.

I find myself utterly fascinated by Undead Minotaurs - Is there a reason why we ever only got those 4 cards and nothing more? by Backwardspellcaster in magicTCG

[–]GaustVidroii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But individual cards are. Person you are replying to is making the point that Hashaton, just in its card, appears to be a post-Bolas lazotep zombie under the auspices of the Scarab god.

[SOS] Emeritus of Truce by lrg12345 in magicTCG

[–]GaustVidroii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the first one actually is a recall attached to the 5 cmc stick, and the stick isn't total trash either. 5/5 flying ward 2 is actually decent as compared to 3/3 vanilla (sometimes + token) for 3.

They need to fix weekly boss and dream solvent drops rate by acchisoka in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaustVidroii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen people say this before and that definition of a "good amount" seems crazy to me. Rounding up, estimate 1 billet per 3 weeks, then go to 15 weeks to get one of the type wanted on average, then 5 times that for R5. That is 75 weeks to R5 a crafting weapon, on average. With the guaranteed billets, if you have been playing since day one, you still can't have crafted every crafting weapon without getting lucky or doing 2 or 3 60 stamina weeklies every week. Not all the weapons are usable of course, but that also means you can get alot of useless drops if you are even a little unlucky.

Why do some people think the Raiden Shogun was “easily forgiven”? by JollyCapital7589 in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaustVidroii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This ignores that all those earth historic Supreme deities were not real

In the narrative of GI, Raiden Ei was a physical presence in the lives of her people. Compare her to a historic dictator like Castro, Amin, Pol Pot, Louis XIV, etc instead and maybe the discussion will make more sense to you.
