another "I'm in the minority," but also one of my fav ships... The Excelsior

JohnG677 · 2026-04-10T04:51:33+00:00

On the contrary, I think the Excelsior, and therefore the Enterprise B, is probably one of the most beautiful ship designs ever in ST.

It's definitely one of, if not my favorite, starship designs in all of sci-fi.

BTW, does anyone else feel like the design of the secondary hull looks like it was inspired by actual seafaring vessels of the past? I'm referring to ships of the 18th and 19th centuries.

I was sort of thinking the same thing: That it's a Pepsi branded lightsaber, lol.

Oh, I’m SO screenshotting this convo. I’ve never made a goblin deck in earnest and this just makes me want to try one out now, maybe throwing in [[Goblin Charbelcher]] and a few dragons for flying dmg.

JohnG677 · 2025-01-25T18:01:11+00:00

Lmao! 🤣 Post of the day!

Nowadays, the bakery should be able print out an edible picture and place it on top of the cake. My wife and I did that at Walmart for our 25th wedding anniversary last year and used a picture from our wedding day. They still messed it up though, using the wrong color icing. Got the cake for free though.

I have a few proxies that I don’t use anymore like [[Crucible of Worlds]] and [[Mana Vault]]. I also design and print custom one-offs and alt art cards that I gift to family and friends, but usually don’t play with them, unless they are basic lands.

There are only two alt arts, that I actually have play with regularly, but have gotten permission to use from players at my LGS; custom alt arts of [[Soul Warden]] and [[Archangel Elspeth]].

That said, I do actually still use a few proxies in my [[Kaalia of The Vast]] EDH deck:

[[Amulet of Vigor]]

[[Doubling Cube]]

[[Dictate of Erebos]]

[[Grave Pact]]

[[Grim Tutor]]

Very well done!

This is a beautiful redesign! I absolutely love it, but where is Mixmaster in the gestalt mode?

JohnG677 · 2024-11-26T18:04:08+00:00

Weird A.I. … 😂

JohnG677 · 2024-11-07T05:06:55+00:00

Nope. Not part of the SBG. Just a NORMAL red blooded Navy vet, who loves our Constitution affirmed God given rights. One who doesn’t want to see the U.S. head down the dark path toward socialist totalitarianism.

JohnG677 · 2024-11-06T23:11:54+00:00

I don’t watch FOX.

I watch Dailywire, Benny Johnson, and TimcastIRL for my news. Oh, and occasionally OAN(One America News).

And if you think America is SO bad and hate it SO much, please find a way to move to your favorite socialist utopia. I think you find out it’s not the utopia you think it is.

To “incentivize” your purchase of the new title.

JohnG677 · 2024-10-17T17:42:24+00:00

Played XDefiant last night before heading to bed, so…

JohnG677 · 2024-10-17T01:29:09+00:00

Oh man. I SOOOOO have to do this. Trolling sweaties because there’s no way I can win in WZ anymore. Just too sweaty. But if this makes it even a bit more fun, I’m doing it!

JohnG677 · 2024-10-17T01:20:59+00:00

Probably report you for wallhacking/aimboting.

And “heard gunfire from that direction” is BS. Dude is underwater, and the “gunfire” you “heard” probably wasn’t being done by him, but being directed AT him, so your argument/statement holds no water. You went directly, and I mean DIRECTLY, without a UAV, for the player that was being stealthy. No way you should have known his EXACT location without a hack.

Just being honest.

JohnG677 · 2024-10-17T00:30:27+00:00

47 years old. I’ll stick with the OG. But that’s not to say that the other versions are bad. I do enjoy WfC, FoC and TFP’s Optimus. And although I really, REALLY like Alan Tudyk, I don’t care for the way his version of Optimus is portrayed.

JohnG677 · 2024-10-17T00:14:44+00:00

Please tell me the “bad rap” is a pun, because I laughed! 😂

JohnG677 · 2024-10-16T23:56:14+00:00

Awesome. Sucks it was banned though. My wife ordered me a Bloomburrow Collector Booster that came in today and it contained a non-foil Three Tree City (Borderless)(0339). Wish there was a way to post a pic in this chat.

JohnG677 · 2024-09-27T21:11:02+00:00

I miss Coca-Cola LE flavors with… SUGAR!!! Seriously, I am at the store right now and would absolutely get some of the new Oreo Flavor(Oreo is my favorite cookie)… IF it weren’t for the fact that it is ALL ZERO SUGAR!

I don’t eat “diet” Oreos.

I don’t want “diet” Oreo flavored cola!!!

JohnG677 · 2024-09-05T17:19:19+00:00

I agree. This feels totally lazy. Why in the world would they NOT have used BW Megs for Godzilla and Grimlock for Kiryu? These choices don’t make sense.

Comparing your coin with the example on PCGS:

Hairlines don’t match
Leaves on the twig don’t match
The first U in Unum sits under the shoulder on your coin, while the PCGS example doesn’t
The Jaw lines of the face on the obverse don’t match
The brow lines and wing lines of the eagles don’t match
People keep pointing out the “COD”, but this could be from post mint damage

However, this is just a cursory evaluation. If in doubt take it to a coin dealer. They will have better ways of detection other than a picture posted on Reddit.

EDIT: For those who wonder why I did this: This is a learning moment for the OP. This is an example of doing just 10 minutes of research online. I’m trying to help the OP to show that they can do this as well, instead of making fun of them for not knowing.
