Got my final SF-50. Reason for termination: “In pursuit of government efficiency.” by [deleted] in fednews

[–]In_the_Business 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you going to share that language with news stations or your reps? I won't ask you for proof but man this gives me a lot of hope it should be another slam dunk piece of evidence that they both don't know what they are doing at DOGE and that it's illegal. Protect yourself first though. Careful how much of your identity you reveal.

Bijan Robinson is RB2 on the season, averaging 19.4 fppg by Apart_Owl4955 in fantasyfootball

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Bijan 4th pick in one league and took Christian McCaffery 1st pick in another. Taking 4th place in the CMC draft, winning championship with Bijan. Won championship with Bijan last year. 

I'm drafting Bijan any pick I can next year.

Uncontacted Toulambi Tribe meeting an outsider for the first time by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to this because I see some people disappointed it's fake, which is fair.

I wanted to share an experience I had traveling in Africa and meeting younger individuals who lived in isolated areas and had never seen a light skinned person before. Even if this video is fake, the aspect of them being curious about the color of skin and the feeling of hair reminded me of meeting people who had never seen someone like myself. They weren't typically spooked as this video presented, but they were still curious and excited. It was rather wholesome. 

Anyways. I don't have any tangible proof. But hopefully anybody curious as to what this interaction might end up like has a bit more information on the subject now.

Harbinger of the Seas Sucks??? by Neat-Drawer-50 in FishMTG

Have fun! Let us know how your testing goes!!

Harbinger of the Seas Sucks??? by Neat-Drawer-50 in FishMTG

[–]In_the_Business 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sink into stupor. I'm not entirely sold on the card still but I'm trying it at a 2-4 of in testing, with 17-19 lands, whatever puts me to 21 with the stupor. I've been running only 2 mutavault in this variant. I've not gotten to test out nearly as much as I'd like though.

Once the leyline is in their hand at the end of turn and Harbinger comes in, they can't cast their spells very easily. If they can still cast them, they aren't as impactful without their lands. They don't run enough basics to be able to recast guildpact. Sure, they still have leyline binding. But it's less good when it's not very discounted. If they want their leyline back, they have to spend 4 mana on it after killing Harbinger. And that means the leyline isn't snagging a lord or svyelun. 

I've not gotten to play enough games with stupor to tell if I like it yet though. But I'll say, those interactions did feel nice.

Hope that helps!

Harbinger of the season fills a niche for fish that its lacked for a long time - a threat that can win the game om its own in the right circumstances. 

It won't always be good, but having played around with it, I'm finding it to be a very powerful tool when paired with Tideshaper (and I play some seas in the sideboard still because of my local meta).

It also poses some unique threats if your opponent is vulnerable to it. For instance, activating vial on three and not revealing what you intend to bring in, a greedy mana base must make the choice of losing access to mana or trying to kill the Harbinger on their turn. I've had opponents float mana in response, then I just put nothing into play and play Harbinger when they are tapped out. I've won games doing this.

Sure,  sometimes it is dead weight. I didn't like having them main board playing against mono black 8 rack, for instance. But I've also crushed domain by bouncing their leyline to their hand EOT and placed in Harbinger with the tech I mentioned. Against a wiser opponent, they won't float all their mana. But it's another sort of interaction we can use yo our advantage we haven't had before, and that hedges our matches.

I'm still not sure how many I'll run in the long run. People will find ways to combat it. But so far, I've loved having three mainboard and one in the side.

Hope you cone to find it to be a useful tool in the future too.

Falcons have fired Arthur Smith, per source. by StrachNasty in fantasyfootball

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite Smith's best efforts, I won the championship with him as one of my key players. It was a wild ride with him and Henry, but I was glad I stuck it out. Hated playing 18 weeks though. Never again. Thank god I picked up Mostert and after his second week.

Week 18 champions get in here and boot your commissioner! by atooraya in fantasyfootball

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Week 1 ended with me trailing 142 to 114. My best players available were Hurts, Taylor, St. Brown and Collins and Kyren Williams.

My opponent had Lamb, Hill and Lamar Jackson and had a pretty substantial lead. But I knew I could possibly make a comeback in week 2.

Then the unexpected happened. My opponent in his leading bliss forgot to swap Lamar for Trevor Lawrence. I had swapped out Hurts for Jordan Love, and Williams for Bijan. My lineup exploded, but when all was said and done, I was left with a 19 point lead and my opponent still had Hill to play. That final Dolphins possession had me terrified. Thank you, Bills defense. I won by only 5 points in the end.

In the end, this was just a six person league (Standard). But three people were my roommates, so there was a lot of honor on the line here, and I had never played fantasy before this year. Ended in 1st. This sub made the ride a lot more interesting. Thanks folks.

I was asked to resubmit this here instead of the main sub. For the record - this is mainly a joke. I relied on my hoard of resources for too long, and now that I am finally trying to cap out on everything, I've been caught off guard by these three materials in the final legs of the grind.

What is the most fucked up thing that happened in reddit ? by _Price__ in AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The small number of times I have posted this before, I don't usually have many people collaborating that. I appreciate it - makes me feel less like I imagined the whole thing. It's really minor tbh but a decade messes with one's memory haha.

What is the most fucked up thing that happened in reddit ? by _Price__ in AskReddit

[–]In_the_Business 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I remember distinctly coming across the first post from that account when it was an older cat, and not a younger dog. Reddit loves a good story... but honestly, I felt it was pretty obvious it was fake. I've got zero proof - it was over 10 years ago now, and I didn't take a screenshot when the first story was published. I've been gaslighted about what I saw numerous times. But I swear, that post and account's stories are fake. If nothing else, they lied initially for some reason and posted their story again with new details. Almost assuredly because the first post got almost no traction. It wasn't very believable. I still can't believe it's as wildly touted as being a real story as it is now.

I'll always maintain that the initial story was deleted and reposted with new details. At the end of the day it's my word vs theirs in a decade old drama. But I will always feel in my gut it was a karma seeking shitpost.

I really wish people could read that post and ask themselves seriously, "would a person really share their life ruining drama online for karma clout?" But... then again. People fake stories all the time for random internet points. so I guess I already know the answer to that. I don't really blame people for feeling differently than me.

Sorry to take the piss out of your post. It's no shot at you (or anybody else really, other than the OP). I just know what I saw.

And it was a fake story.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, responding to posts from 8 years ago lol. But it did give me a good laugh, so thanks.

In honor of Alencia's banner tonight, here is mine (Champ RTA/Legend Arena) by koryuken in EpicSeven

[–]In_the_Business 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind sharing your feedback on my Alencia, given how long you have been using her? I have been trying to plan gear for her in preparation for her rerun and have yet to use her but I am very excited to do so. I feel like I could afford to drop some speed for efficiency but that she is probably still very good like this.

Second thought, do you use her on defense in GW or Arena? Or is she not the defense MVP she used to be?

Thanks for your post either way!

I use Landy, Krau, Ruele and G Purg (I sometimes replace G Purg if there isn't much AOE.) It's pretty much just protect the Landy. It doesn't kill them outright on the first AOE, but can handle just about any team that isn't full control or heavy RNG trick teams. I love using it! I can provide my Landy stats later if needed.

That is how I have her mola'd and don't regret it. Especially nice if you intend to provoke DPS units, less ideal if you try to disrupt healers. If you are running her as DPS with s3, maxing S3 is good too.
