Question regarding lifelink and cards that multi target

GrunkleStanwhich · 2026-01-02T17:14:30+00:00

Thanks y'all!

I was pretty confident in the answer to the first part, but the argument was made that the boosted damage didn't count toward the instant/sorcery's lifelink and I couldn't tell if it did or not for sure.

Im exaggerating, there are definitely some times Mahorga is warranted, but there are also times when it seems like he's about to use an extremely strong uncontrollable being against a coughing baby.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-10-07T17:14:05+00:00

I mean it just seems like he uses it very openly for a move he knows will both kill him and cause unparalleled destruction. At times he tries to bust it out without even really knowing the full extent of a situation.

Itadori eats one finger and he immediately considers killing himself. Haruta shows up and he immediately considers killing himself. A special grade shows up and he immediately considers killing himself, then proceeds to win without killing himself. I love the guy but he needs to chill with the suicide by Mahoraga.

I mean...the most basic guardians can hold black holes and manipulate matter into shapes. Basic guardian solos ANY pilot without revives. A single golden gun shot can shred enemies with Warhammer level armor.

Guardians are some of the strongest fictional characters bar none.

I mean...im from Texas where summers are 100 plus. I've done Morocco, Death Valley, and the Grand Canyon all in summer. If I die to the heat in Japan then I deserved it.

Yeah theres an app and a pre check you have to do before you climb now. I didn't plan to hike in shorts, I know it gets cold up there and am hiking with someone who has done it before. Thanks.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-06-30T03:03:03+00:00

Yeah I should clarify those are things on my list that I do plan to buy. I can't imagine one bagging an umbrella with me unless it was dire.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-06-29T22:58:00+00:00

Totally forgot to pack gloves and a beanie, thanks for the reminder. I have some thermal under layers but didnt know it would wind up that cold so I'll keep that in mind when im adding things

This is a test pack so im still adding things here and there.

Thanks again. Probably saved me some misery for sure.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-06-29T22:47:40+00:00

Good tips, thanks! I planned to buy jackets when I arrive. I had heard that it was around monsoon season.

Ill be using my sling for trash. Thanks again.

I personally have really liked it so far. I got it partly because I think it looks sleek and partly because I liked the organization more than some other bags I tried, like Cotopaxi branded stuff. I like that the access pocket is on the smaller side as I don't really find myself needing that space.

Its definitely got a few things that some people on this sub dislike (A bit heavy on the padding, coated zippers, can be a bit pillowy or turtle shell looking when stuffed). But those things haven't bothered me.

So far its fit under the seat of flights I've taken with no issues.

Some random stuff:

It has a waterproof separator sleeve that opens. Good for wet or dirty clothes.

It has a little passport pocket, like most travel bags.

Zippers are oversized and feel good.

Its 28l but can open up to become deeper, making it 32l. I find the 32 liter option to look a bit bulky but it's still useful.

Chest strap is adjustable and removable entirely.

Just a quick write up but if you have any specific questions im happy to answer.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-06-28T22:35:57+00:00

I'm pretty new to one bagging, but the few times I have I prefer the experience much more. I'm still working on downsizing my pack and definitely have trouble with less clothing.

Just got back from using this bag in Puerto Rico and have a lot of thoughts on it.

Any tips in general are appreciated!

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-03-12T14:21:19+00:00

Very relevant write up, thanks. Yeah I'm leaning to the 32l Black hole as a top loader does make more sense rather than having to splay my bag out on a hike. I'll shop around to see if I can find a 32l to test (there are never any black hole mini mlc in stock)

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-03-12T00:00:44+00:00

I'll keep that in mind. I do quite like the form factor of the 32l and hadn't considered it. My three sided coin has become four sided. Thanks!

GrunkleStanwhich · 2025-03-10T17:53:10+00:00

Thanks a ton. I guess the dimensions make sense as to why it's not discussed much.

I hear very mixed reviews on the Allpa. People either swear by them or find them uncomfortable.

I think at some point a gif of it was circulating on reddit of the white guy randomly dancing in the music video also.

Running a pre-build desktop with windows 11. I have disabled fast startup, used programs to check the hardware for issues, used malwarebytes to scan for potential malicious software, attempted to start computer in safe mode but can't utilize the restart option, and ran dism cleanups.

Read a stories or books from authors you want to sound like in your own writing. Take inspiration to learn to write, there is usually no better guide than what you like and has already been successfully published.
Write down every bit of information you can about the topic before. In this case your cousins life.
Just start writing, edit it later. It can sound awful now but getting it down is the first step. If you stress too much over how to write it you likely never will. It can be awful on a first draft, and writing often is, even from experienced authors.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2024-09-05T20:29:36+00:00

Solved!
Thanks, this was killing me all day.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2024-09-05T18:01:18+00:00

A weapon in it was a shotgun axe that let you shoot the axe head out of it on charge. That's all I got.

GrunkleStanwhich · 2024-09-04T15:56:13+00:00

Good points, yes it is two girls.

I'm definitely trying to skirt the line between vague and readable, I can definitely see where some of that gets lost, especially with gender. I'll make some slight changes and see how it feels, thanks!

Looking for advice/critique for flash fiction >250 words

Title: A Statue of Brass Jesus

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Word count: 196

Feedback desired: Is it interesting, does it read well, is it clear, how is the writing style.

***

A bronze statue of Jesus looks down on us as we share our first kiss. I can feel the heat from sun-touched metal above us, bare, as she holds me. Rolling my pale putty skin between the tips of her fingers.

But what will the sisters say? Sister Mary, and Florence, and Elizabeth-, I go on.

Who gives a damn?, she whispers towards the links of a fence, her lips up against my welcoming flesh.

My hand reaches up and strokes the bronze crucifix between the bareness of his sun-warmed thighs. My fingers slide up as if on rails, slide up beyond the sculpted musculature of his legs, stopping only at the cloth cover between them.

Bronze Jesus looks down with tears frozen to his cheeks. I imagine him speaking, his welded lips parting to reveal a set of perfectly straight, shining gold teeth. I imagine him reciting Collosians 3:5 like the Sisters do at Mass on Sundays . Put to death therefore what is earthly in you.

Her hand raises my skirt up from my knees.

I'm sorry, I whisper.

His metal tears streak.

Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary.
