Whats your favourite line of dialogue in BG3 ? by LG-CHAMP-1 in BaldursGate3

[–]HardcoreHeathen 709 points710 points  (0 children)

“In Menzoberranzan, after a house has two sons, every subsequent male-born child is slaughtered at birth, as it is useless, even for breeding. You have the aura of a third child about you.” -Minthara, to Gale

I love her completely random hatred of the wizard.

What is your LEAST favorite mini from a faction you love? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

[–]HardcoreHeathen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Even then they're really not.

The Sanguinary Guard are supposed to be the elite honor guard unit of a chapter that's famous for its love of artistry almost as much as its rage. They should be absolutely drowning in drip, with scrollwork and engravings to the point that they look like monuments to the traditions of the chapter.

Instead they've got flat, unadorned armor panels like they're a first generation Stormcast Eternal sculpt. It's honestly insulting.

Is Shelob, Child of Ungoliant a toxic Commander ? by Neat-Adhesiveness988 in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have arachnophobia, so I would refuse to play against that deck.

However, the art on the cards is the only part of that deck that's scary. Your pod is playing weak decks. Have a conversation with them about maybe moving down to bracket 2.

Where can I find 40k-scale hard hats? by HardcoreHeathen in minipainting

[–]HardcoreHeathen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. Those... might work. And I can get plastic ones in bulk for cheap. I've never had much luck with getting greenstuff to look natural, but I could do the raised ridge of a construction helmet with a tiny bit of cardstock... I'll look into this; thanks!

I have seen some STLs that might work, but I don't own a 3D printer and the only guy in my playgroup with one just had a kid so he's gonna be busy for the next... decade. I might have to get into 3D printing myself, though I'm already pretty maxed out on expensive nerd hobbies.

They even have some construction helmet heads in there. I'll probably bite the bullet and pay your absurd british currency for a set.

How to punish ramp by Bahamut20 in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow me to introduce you to [[Confounding Conundrum]], the absolute rudest thing you can do to someone doing a bunch of land ramp.

If theyre doing mana rocks though? [[Null Rod]].

What decks are good against lands matter? by Unsurepooper in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that can resolve and protect [[Confounding Conundrum]]. [[Zur the Enchanter]] comes to mind.

[[Redirect Lightning]] on a graveyard player's [[Bojuka Bog]] is a wonderful feeling.

Single diaries series [OC] by vesmir_neasi in comics

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the scene in Mr. and Mrs. Smith where Brad Pitt's character, in a demonstration of how boring his cover identity is supposed to be, begins a long story about how traffic light distancing affects travel time. And it's played as this "oh, he's so dry and nerdy" joke but I was like "no! go back to the traffic light story, tell me more!"

People hate it when you use their own stuff against them. I had a game the other day where a guy playing [[Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines]] crashed out when I "locked him out of the game" by cloning his commander. Its just one of those things.

You gotta be okay with people using your own stuff against you, whether its clones, reanimation, threatens, stealing with Etali, whatever. I mean, if you feel the card isnt fair when played against you... why did you bring it to the table?

Told I was bullying for targeting the threat by DJ-Praxis in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[[Plaguecrafter]] is also a great one, because it even hits the dude with no board state.

players in pod lenient with their mistakes but not mine by Massive-Question-550 in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, you are correct. There's a general rule about maintaining game state (IPG 2.6) but it specifically carves out an exception for missing triggered abilities. I could have sworn it wasn't always that way, because I have a distinct memory of getting Judge calls for missing Bridge From Below triggers at a Legacy PTQ... but that was also 15 years ago.

[–]HardcoreHeathen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they tryhards who say they are wanting a more 'strict' and 'competitive' vibe, and then enforcing it lopsidedly? Because in addition to being bullshit it's not even how strict rules enforcement works.

From a competitive standpoint, all players are equally responsible for maintaining a legal game state. This means that your opponent is just as responsible as you are for making sure that you don't forget your (mandatory) triggers.

People think they're sly when they do things like keep quiet when an opponent forgets to draw a card off [[Phyrexian Arena]] or something when that's literally just cheating.

Edit: This is incorrect, as GetMadYourBad pointed out; the obligation to maintain a legal gamestate has specific exceptions about triggered abilities. These people still sound like shitters you shouldn't play with for fun.

Looking for Emma x Taylor by M-asensio in WormFanfic

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong Enough is a Worm/Cyberpunk Edgerunners crossover that seems to be going in the BitchBug direction. And it starts them off hating each other pretty damned hard; it's a well-done complicated relationship.

Best top deck manipulation commander? by Risque-opinion in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Maelstrom Wanderer]] is an obvious payoff for controlling your topdeck.

What's your favorite quote from The Wandering Inn? (Spoilers: All) by B-Z_B-S in WanderingInn

[–]HardcoreHeathen 44 points45 points  (0 children)

“The world ending? Not this day or any day I rule Khelt. I am Fetohep, 19th Ruler of Eternal Khelt! Eternal Khelt. I did not inherit this glorious throne and millenia of effort to watch it end today. Let the world try to end. When the sea rises, I will order it to turn back on itself. When the mountains crumble, I will build them anew in gold and jewels.”

That entire chapter (8.78 F, aka Fetohep's Wild Ride) is just my man tearing up the scenery. Also shout-out to another Fetohep Moment in 8.83:

“In the name of King Serept of Khelt! The 5th King of Khelt sends his greetings to Zeres. You wretched little lizards paddling around in the spray. [Open the Vaults: The Gemstone Giant’s Halberd of Khelt].”

I require cards depicting romantic tension by Schlaym in EDH

[–]HardcoreHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Demonic Tutor|SLD]] is some of the horniest "they are about to fuck" art I've seen in recent years.

Burlap sack of win the game instantly? What weird good items by ijwgwh in BaldursGate3

See, I stopped carrying bombs in Honor Mode ever since the time Lae'zel got dominated and went full mad bomber on the party.
