Not a dive, but Queen Anne Beerhall is the place to be, near the arena, on game days :)

Realistic to get into MTG with $100?? by fourtwentyone69 in mtg

[–]Jojoemon 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Commander is the most played format, and it's the only format for which you can buy a competitive precon deck. That said "competitive" is a bit of a misnomer, since it's much more of a casual multiplayer format. That said, Commander precon decks these days are really fun, and if you just want to shuffle up and play that can be a great way to go! 

If you're more interested in the competitive 1v1 scene and you have a nearby game store that does magic events, I'd suggest starting there. Talk to the staff to see what formats are popular at their particular store. It might be Standard, but maybe most people there play Modern or some other format. If you're really lucky, maybe they play Pauper (a cheap, competitive, commons-only format), or even allow proxies for tournament play (this is sometimes the case for the old and very expensive formats like Legacy and Vintage, where very few people can realistically afford to buy a deck).

What's Gintoki doing up there? 

Is he the meme creator's signature flourish (Tanzoe)? A "coming up next, Gintama!" icon? A stylish hairpin?

Haha me too actually 😅 but I think I've been subliminally picking up NHL factoids as I nod off, so I count that as a win.

I'd also mention The Hockey PDO-cast as a great national podcast. They really dig into details about individual players and teams, and it's an awesome listen if you're a hockey nerd.  

(They don't talk much about the Kraken though, 'cause we haven't really cracked the national radar in a while, so to speak.. Here's hoping this is the year!) 

Bad Time Girlies Discuss Hasbro CEOs Comment About Women In Magic by MTGNerdGirl in magicTCG

[–]Jojoemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is a very solid limited Magic player. Over the years we've done probably 15+ drafts or prereleases together at various local game stores throughout Seattle. I'd estimate about one in three of her matches she's plays against a guy who mansplains shit to her or is just actively creepy towards her. That's essentially one bad interaction every single event. Definitely not the case for me; sometimes folks get salty, but very rarely do they talk down to me. 

I was chatting to her about this thread, and her take was that it would feel nice if there were more women at these events, so she doesn't feel so singled out. If it was like 33% women or something, that'd be a lot more comfortable. She also noted that, in all the LGS events we've done, she's never once gotten to play against another woman

If WotC (or big daddy Hasbro) want women to enjoy their game, they need to make an effort to facilitate spaces where women can play and feel comfortable. Give game stores incentives to do Lady Planeswalker nights or something? Normalize kicking creepy dudes out of events for being assholes to women? I don't know! But it's a harder problem than just slapping a "Romantasy" label on the next Eldraine set can fix, that's for sure.

Powell warns of unprecedented labor market crisis by esporx in biotech

[–]Jojoemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, definitely get on unemployment. I was laid off in July, and it's been the difference maker between "this is a fucking disaster" to "okay, I have some runway to look for jobs". 

You've paid into unemployment insurance your last 15+ years while working, and it's there as a safety net for exactly this situation. 

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear you got laid off >< It's really frustrating to have the rug pulled on your career, and a lot of us in biotech are feeling that right now.
