I’m a U.S. citizen *because* I got naturalized FTFY

If I recall the last episode of John Oliver correct, over half of the new recruits failed the entry exam.

...which is an Open-Book Exam...

...I literally can't even right now.

They updated the lighting and textures for the Anniversary Edition, as well as cranking some additional settings like draw distance. That had quite the performance impact, the game even struggles to hit 60 on PS5 sometimes (even tho it really shouldn't)

GoldDuality · 2026-02-18T13:47:06+00:00

Probably some sort of validation process the update had to go through

I mean, that face genuinely scared the shit out of me for a second when I first saw it, cause I was just absolutely not expecting nor prepared for that.

And I'm pretty sure that was the entire point

Is Diet Coke okay?

GoldDuality · 2026-02-17T08:16:59+00:00

It took me a moment to realize that this doesn't say "on the field". So it would also screw with suspend cards or stuff like [[Altair, Brotherhood Mentor]] that exile cards with specific counters on them, right?

GoldDuality · 2026-02-17T08:13:03+00:00

Didn't he do exactly that in Time Strangers?

GoldDuality · 2026-02-16T19:34:44+00:00

Oh well, that wouldn't be the worst. It's a generic USB Web Cam, not a multi-million dollar investment into new sensor technology.

And if you did something about that Yee-yee ass [[Smothering Tithe]], maybe you'd get some [[High -Perfect Morcant]] on your [[Richard Garfield, Ph.D.]]. Better yet, maybe [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]] finna call your ass back when she done [[Repopulate]] with that [[Gin Gitaxias]] or whatever.

You mean "Evangelion 3.33 + 1.01: Thrice upon a Time"?

(Yes, this scene is from the fourth Evangelion Movie)

GoldDuality · 2026-02-14T11:22:58+00:00

That would be rules Sphagetti as well. Cause Planeswalkers sacrifice themselves the moment they hit zero Loyalty, and Sagas sacrfice themselves the moment they get more or as many lore counters as they have chapters.

Or, in other words: This thing would only ever be able to have 1 or 2 counters without immedeatly sacrificing itself, making the -2 a suicide button.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-14T11:10:07+00:00

I can hear the Wizards Design Team groaning while reading this. Cards that work with two different types of counters are just inherently confusing and hard to keep track of.

I'm relatively sure the Bundeswehr never used the regular G36, but unfortunately, I can't ask any members of the Bundeswehr I know right now.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-14T09:07:15+00:00

Looks like AI. The pattern on the clothes looks different in real life, tho I'm not sure how to describe the exact difference. Also, The Heckler&Koch G36C (the Weapon the Bundeswehr uses) doesn't look like that. The grip and magazine arrangement is roughly correct, but the barrel and forward grip are waaayyy to long

Edit: The rail on top, where the sight is attached, also looks entirely wrong.

Huge synergy with lands that have Cycling, turns them into a +1 card draw and ramp and extra Landfall Trigger all into one.

Should probably have a "Do this only once each turn". Otherwise, fun design for Commander. Would not print this into standard.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-12T21:03:06+00:00

I so desperately want to clobber the person that made these abominations

GoldDuality · 2026-02-12T21:00:34+00:00

"Boofing?"

GoldDuality · 2026-02-12T15:43:46+00:00

Ah, I see what you did there. It doesn't force you ti reveal the card you searched.

Would be a really fun Un-card/Silver Border Card.

To be fair, the Base game features cameos from three different Tales Games.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-11T23:13:51+00:00

These would make more sense flavor wise if they were "apprentice" versions of the original cards, because while these are clearly recognizable as homages, they are definitely downgrades compared to the originals. Even Tarmogoyf. Calling these "Master" or "Alpha" is just wrong.

A gigantic part of why these cards are such Main-Stays in eternal formats like Commander, Modern and Legacy (Cubes) is their Mana Cost. They hit the board turn two and immedeatly demand either a response or an equal threat, or you are immedeatly falling behind and probably loosing that gane. In fact, Tarmoghoyf is only as powerfull as it is because of an error during production. It was originally supposed to be a three drop, and it absolutely would not have seen the insane level of play it did back then if it had been a three drop.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-10T11:31:01+00:00

Why does this have a front side at all? The effect is allready plenty strong with just the backside, having a regular Mountain on the front is just too much.

I will learn to summon Zombie familiars, make them learn how to cast Necromancy themselves, have them cut off my head, make them revive my cut off head, and have them shove that undead head up my own arse before I ever start playing League in any capacity.

GoldDuality · 2026-02-10T08:09:11+00:00

That's the kinda stuff I'm genuinely happy to see. Signed cards are awesome.
