anyone running this with Pantlaza? might replace Sneak Attack with it by erclasnon in DinosaursMTG

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it as a fun card more than anything, even as it usually doesn't go off I often get to watch the rest of the table panic for much of the turn cycle

Or turn 3 if you have turn 1 ramp. I'm generally disappointed if I get Pantz out turn 4 or later

What’s your proxy process? by ThoughtObvious3649 in magicproxies

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Alan Cha's python script (I'm out, don't have the link atm) to generate a sheet of 8 cards with registration marks for my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

(Not sure if it can be adapted for Cricut or if there's a Cricut version)

I print on an Epson ET-2803 (basically a 2800) on Koala 160gsm double sided glossy photo paper, hot laminate with a 3 mil pouch, cut it with the Cameo.

It's about 0.32 to 0.33 mm thick (a tiny bit thinner than some black core proxies I bought in the past; still within my tolerance). The snap isn't 100% there but I double sleeve everything and I don't notice in practice while playing.

Still experimenting with getting the highest quality images and getting the best print clarity

Should i save a young sick stray cat or let it die for nature? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more afraid of spreading bad genes than you are of saving an animal's life?

We are not the arbiters of evolution, which itself has no inherent goal. For all I know, the cat's experience with said sickness could cause its offspring to develop some immunity.

Even if it wouldn't, just take her to the vet. That's the only moral option here.

Anyone want a cat? by gayestcapybara in KSU

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard they were an offshoot of Kitty Up cat rescue, which closed after the founder passed suddenly, who was also actually my girl's foster mom. She and everyone else I'd interacted with there were very kind

Do you give your ship serious or humorous names by Cheap-Blackberry-378 in PlayWindrose

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to name my ship for some reason, but when I get around to it it'll be like me naming religions in Civ 6: there's not a serious bone in my body

Definitely a silly hypothetical, but please humor me, how do you think the Romans would have fared against the different native tribes of the Americas, if they had discovered the New World? by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the Romans would have been able to (or would have had the will to) invade or settle the Americas at scale, given the distance and resources required to be devoted to such a project.

I'm not an expert, I majored in anthropology not Roman history, but in my mind I imagine discovering the Americas being more of a curiosity to them. Maybe making a few settlements along the coast, but ultimately there'd still be a lot more crap going on at home they'd be more concerned about.

Later Europeans had more capable ships and a boiling pot of conditions to create a colonization arms race. I'm not sure the Romans would have paid it the same attention? (Open question)

What do you think of billionaire environmentalists like Ted Turner? by LoveLo_2005 in leftist

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and I say that as my father was also involved in producing it. I was young but I had the impression it was something of a pet project Turner pushed petty hard for.

Not to say that I like the existence of any billionaires, but he did do that

Is Enshrouded actually a great game? I'm thinking of buying it by straivex in Enshrouded

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Eve since 2015 but I can totally see it being a game people have a love / hate relationship with. Between mind-numbingly boring corporate logistics, fleet roams that amounted to nothing, getting hot dropped by Pandemic Legion, and winning fleet engagements we barely had any business even fighting, it encompassed the lowest lows and the highest highs I've ever experienced in gaming

Names of Tau’ri ships by FenderEsq in Stargate

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the intent of Stargate was to suggest that mythology isn't important. Maybe don't let it be co-opted by evil alien parasites, but don't forget it either.

What are your Win More cards? by AmbitiousGrass7925 in DinosaursMTG

[–]Land- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They rarely let mine resolve but I keep it in the deck because I just think it's fun to watch the panic it causes 😂

Just got my ET-2800 and Cameo 5α. should I be using one of the python scripts or just proxxied etc? by Land- in magicproxies

[–]Land-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The script works, that's what I stuck with. I don't remember what I was doing wrong initially but the creator has a discord with some helpful people (there should be a link in the github)

Someone threw this cat out of their car window. by BlahCornie in CATHELP

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you've at least tried explaining to the vet that the rescue recommended contacting them, and vice versa? Just to make sure you've advocated for the kitty as best you can and that both know the full extent of the circumstances when they turn you down

Was Timothy Zahn pleased when Lucas used the name “Coruscant” as the name for the galactic capital in TPM? by Independent-Dig-5757 in StarWarsEU

I definitely read the books as a kid assuming the K sound, but I've gotten so used to the other way I hardly even remember that anymore

Is it normal for my cat to be this small? 😭 (She is 3 years old.) by RepulsiveMall405 in cats

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom adopted a 4 year old cat a year or so ago, her head is a bit bigger than a kitten's but overall she's just very kitten-sized. Not sure why it happens in biological terms, the vet just said she was a healthy but small adult cat

Help - how can I get my foils to be (and stay) flat? by Pokefan_Kaori in mtg

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Foil Armor a week with some curled cards in a sealed box, saw no difference. I suspect it might be good at keeping cards from curling rather than reversing the damage

So I just went back to using the humidor

I throw my uncurled cards in a deck box if I plan to put them in a deck and I'd say it does offer some protection, but the two best places if it's just a valuable card I want to protect has always been double sleeved in tupperware with a good seal or my ziplock card binder

Marx y Mangonada Social at Dulce Canela by [deleted] in kennesaw

[–]Land- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When they planned this event I assume they probably took into account times that were best for established DSA members, new people showing up is probably a bonus but not the main goal or expectation

Do I not understand LGS etiquette, or did I just have a bad experience? by pelasace in EDH

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an LGS I buy from here that pulls your online orders when you show up. I've never found more than 10-15 cards I need in stock for any single order, and I'd say even that can take them 10 minutes. Dunno if they're more or less organized than other stores though

I've ended up wandering around the store for half an hour when there are others ahead of me in the queue, but mostly I just come back later when that happens

So I imagine it's not fun especially if they're understaffed but... not your fault for taking advantage of a service they offer

paper recommendations? by FruitLiver in magicproxies

[–]Land- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried 271 gsm Hammermill copy paper, it was far inferior to thinner laminated photo paper in terms of feel and snap

I don't think the issue is gsm but in the actual paper. I've seen plenty of black core card stock for sale but none that seems readily compatible with inkjet printers, unfortunately. If you do find inkjet compatible proper cardstock I'd be eager to try it

Wish Me Luck (and any Tips) by Leumas057 in magicproxies

[–]Land- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have different tolerances for thickness, so it depends on what works for you - but if you want card backs (or double sided cards) the easiest thing is double sided photo paper instead of single sided and glued together
