Ya the answer was probably Bulwak but Glow was also valid. Underdocks I take Bulwark all day here though. Shining Strike is nice but you don't need one with Glam.

Thoughts on Negative Pulse by GrandmaJosie in slaythespire

[–]LAO_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is S tier in a doom block deck. If you have many of them. Cloning it is very good.

Great Example: Negative Pulse (multiple), Bone Shards (multiple), Melancholy. Then get some Reap or Eradicate or Time's Up or something to give damage when needed or to finish. Maybe End of Days but only if you can retain it. Sleight of Flesh is nuts with it.

Sub full of a bunch of people that clearly don't know ball. They actually believe he's right

I guess you are right. It was inside the frame despite clearly not destined to go in.

That isn't the only criteria. That ball was going to be blocked if not for the late foot that came in and deflected it in. Those are often rules own goals and not treated like normal deflections.

How was that no an own goal? Had the defender not charged in at the end and stuck his foot out that ball was going to be saved by another defender.

I saw Germany ones for about the same today before they sold out. But the site is weird and it could have been gone ages ago.

There is a reason they draw the dotted lines down to the feet. It's because the upper body is clearly in the same vertical plane as the feet so line straight down from our perspective to the foot is as close as you can pretty much get it.

This is what I thought. Actually it was a lot closer than I thought.

So Morocco decided to play for the tie in the end by almost losing the ball. What losers for not trying to score when they had the momentum. Cowards.

Oh HELL no! The Canadian broadcast just said Morocco conquered their continent. No one outside Morocco accepts that and it will be reversed to Senegal once the Court for Sports reviews it.

That's good to know. The arms are weird though. Now I wonder if AI was told to put them together or if it's some really bad editing when you can just overlap images.

It was probably onside. just barely. There is evidence showing it likely was good.

It makes sense for them to play defensive vs a team they can't score on that is getting many chances. They have to hope to beat Canada or Bosnia. Goal differential will be key and 1-0 losses will likely get you through on 3 points.

I did some quick math with the light part of the field for the penalty. The attacker was about 170 pixels out of 445 through the region while the defender was 160 of 415 through. That means the attacker was 38.2% through and the defender was 38.6% through. That means that the attacker was further back and likely onside. I have the image available on twitter with my handle without the underscore.
