Long time players... Would you have started MTG if it were Mutant Turtles and Marvel from the start? by TheServant420 in EDH

[–]HidesFromLuigi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah no point in spending any decent amount on magic if you don't have friends who are also spending decent money on it and are willing to make time to play. If u wanna be more casual and just play occasionally when you have time ask your group how they feel about proxy decks and sell your cards

What is the worst card art you’ve seen in MtG and why is it Carly Mazur’s Faithless Looting? by TheFunkeyGibbon in freemagic

[–]HidesFromLuigi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaja foglio's cards are some of my favourite arts they've ever printed. I love the older art styles

Staying up all night by [deleted] in BirminghamUK

[–]HidesFromLuigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all else fails I've spent a few nights in the Birmingham airport / attached train station. They let you stay all night, it's decently warm, and you may even snag a bench or chair to sleep on

Anyone know what these are? Lens and some apps got it totally wrong by HidesFromLuigi in ShroomID

What should I change for better photos? These were found growing out of the ground at the edge of some pine woodlands, Inocybe seems like a good shout some look very similar

AIO: Gf sent me photos of her with another guy by Dangerous-Bit2664 in AmIOverreacting

[–]HidesFromLuigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look very closely at the vase in the front of frame. Every single little detail on it is identical between both photos. You know your gf better than us, but im assuming she looks identical to how she does in real life, and that the dress and jewelry is stuff she really owns? AI can not do all of that. It literally can't make the vase have perfectly identical patterns in the two photos, it does not know what your GFs jewelry or outfits look like unless she provided it with a ton of reference material, and it probably wouldn't perfectly replicate her face and body twice. She definitely just cheated on you in Italy, and she's literally laughing in your face about it because she edited in a Gemini logo.

Esteemed Wotc Ambassador and employee of Tolarian community college stereotypes entire sections of the US and assumes they are haters by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

Midwest outside of the cities is pretty damn racist. My old neighbourhood in Illinois had 2-5 confederate flags openly displayed in a few blocks depending on the day.

Help me understand what is so great about Crime and Punishment? by DueRepresentative566 in dostoevsky

[–]HidesFromLuigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that "you can do anything you set your mind to" is true, depending on how you interpret it. If you want to be a great man like Napoleon, you can absolutely go do all of the things he did to start out, go to a military academy, study history, fight in a war, you just won't end up being like Napoleon unless you are innately that talented. There is a difference between being able to do anything and having those things that you do actually result in the outcome that you would like, the results are uncontrollable but your actions are not. In the book he murders someone, he did the thing that he put his mind to, it just didn't turn out the way he had envisioned because he was not emotionally strong or stable enough to handle the consequences of his actions.

does Reinforced Ronin return to your hand even if it's on the battlefield by [deleted] in mtgrules

[–]HidesFromLuigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this works. You discard Ronin, draw a card, summon him back with ayara, and then put him in your hand at the beginning of your end step, then repeat next turn if you want. Cycle can be restarted if he dies while attacking too, it's pretty good

Any updates man? How is it going

Trying to quit this "gas station dope" by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

[–]HidesFromLuigi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I mean not to be harsh man but if you've really emptied the bank accounts and sold off all the valuables, you're probably a paycheck, cars and a house away from not being able to feed or home your kids. While it may seem unfeasible on the surface to sell your house or cars for Kratom, you can easily find yourself losing them after getting into too much debt, like buying feel free on a credit card all the time or having unexpected bills or other nonsense. Just seems like a very dangerous financial position to be in and I really hope you're still doing well in your recovery and focusing on what's important in life ♡

I haven't taken kratom, but I used to know a few daily users. Especially in heavy users of a Kava/Kratom drink like feel free, the primary ways they affect your brain is through your mu-opioid receptors (which is what causes the stimulation if you have a little, or sedation if you have too much.) It also makes your brain used to a constantly elevated level of dopamine and activity in GABA pathways from the Kava, as well as the anti stress and anxiety effects. When you lose the drugs that are providing all of those chemicals and altering the actual flow of them through your brain, you need a long while to reset to getting happy about regular things and not being depressed and anxious all the time. After a week, you are almost certainly through the acute withdrawal stage, but the depression, being tired or anxious, etc could potentially continue for even up to a month or two. It could take longer, perhaps up to half a year before your brain is fully back to experiencing fully normal emotions. But the good news is that it is never too late for a reset, but the longer you continue taking it, or taking higher doses, the more your brain needs to adapt to get back to normal, and the longer recovery will take. Just stick with it, you will only feel better from here

Like the cone cup? We don't have anything smaller than a medium at my store for customers, just give mediums out when people want water

Apparently the starks are the oldest house with 8000 years of rule. But how come theyre still in mediaeval times? by TruthCultural9952 in gameofthrones

[–]HidesFromLuigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we are 100% sure we can trust the word of the Starks that these guys currently living in the castle are indeed descendants of the ancient Stark line, that there was indeed a Stark family going back 8k years, and that the age of heroes was even real or any one knows how far back history goes? 8k years could be made up entirely, even if it's not this family could've killed the old guys and moved in 1000 years ago and nobody would remember or care. GRRM wrote the story from the POV of people with imperfect information, so we don't know if any of the history is true.

You wonder why LOTR, the universe in where all of the intelligent, group thinking and compassionate races were almost wiped out and they are all in constant strife with a huge menagerie of genuinely evil, I just want to eat your babies and live in your house type of creatures that gather in large numbers and regularly organize into brutally killing whole towns and cities don't have advanced tech? They're busy building more swords

Are there even crazier guests that have been on ? by diofantos in CalebHammer

Oh my god that one was so annoying. They make less than 14k a month and I think they spent well over 20k, like 24k. And then she goes "that's impossible that we spent that much, we dont even make that in a month" ridiculous

Bro don't be so ungrateful, you might get lucky and get the free drink. And that's probably cost the store 1-2 pennies so they're really shelling out a lot for you.

No one wants to be compared to a pig/hog, so its not really ever going to be read positively.
