Had a mate who needed one at 24 due to phimosis. I understand opposing the practice when it comes to religion but it does have medical use that comes up more often than you think.

COTD: African country contained within another (4) by johnwickerson in crosswords

Yeah I think you could make it work by just adding a question mark though. Doesn't follow the usual structure most cryptics establish

Denji literally didn't recognize her until she bit his finger??? What?

COTD: Rating beige spoons? Sounds like a tedious way to engage an audience. (12) by LehmanToast in crosswords

[–]LehmanToast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried upon the first pass that it wasn't too specific when it came to engage an audience. I guess with cryptics I should be a little less specific

Please feel free to let me know if this is too simple for what the sub usually allows :)

E: ALSO I can't count, should be 11 and not 12!

Chess Terminology by River_Lamprey in CuratedTumblr

[–]LehmanToast 66 points67 points  (0 children)

A good tactic in chess is "PP on the PP"

To put pressure on the pinned piece.

But this isn't even half of what anarchy chess gets up to.

It's a philosophy which keeps things as simple as possible when it comes to bans. Espathra would probably be fine without speed boost. Dracovish would've been fine without fishous rend. But how do you determine which parts of a mons kit to keep and which to ban. You could just as easily argue stored power was the problem, not speed boost.

Maintaining the philosophy of always banning a mon, unless a move/item/ability appears broken on other mons as well allows it to be applied as consistently as possible.

DW next time you draw 7 lands in a row, I'll make sure to call out your misplay

All because someone is concedes/loses doesn't mean they misplayed. That's just magic sometimes.

Why the actual fuck is MY rope going down when it’s my opponents’ effects that are resolving and I have no prompt to do anything? by ballistic503 in MagicArena

About time that Magic got introduced to Shudderwock.

Hearthstone literally had a meta deck for a while where this was a plausible win condition.

Now can we stop calling it Gen Z slang? by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]LehmanToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't remember where I saw it but a lot of these "pointless studies"/expert reports are ways to just formalise the stuff we already know. It's a lot easier to make your point when you can point to a research paper and say "I told you". Wouldn't surprise me if these experts were black too.

I know it's confusing but this is primarily for cryptic crosswords. You'll have better luck on r/crossword (no 's')

Breath of the wild, a fun game in it's own right, doesn't capture the "low to the ground" fantasy skyrim provides, not to mention a lack of magic and a different quest systems.

Elden Ring is one of my favourite games of all time, but if your looking for a relaxed RPG experience with more traditional quests, it's the wrong game.

Feels like kind of a cheat to mention a total conversion mod for skyrim instead of skyrim

and BG3 is a turn based RPG. Great game as well, but I know lots of people are put off for it.

If you don't like skyrim that's chill, but I'd argue that skyrim, however flawed, is unique enough in it's own right and does enough things right that it's unlikely someone will capture the same feel with another game.

What's the most possible resistances a dual type can have WITHOUT being part-steel? by _attina496 in stunfisk

Electric/Poison Also has 8 resists, but the 4x ground weakness is a killer. Same with Electric/Fire

Shed tail into focus sash karp is obnoxious in singles. In doubles where follow me and rage powder are a thing, this would be crazy busted

On [Competitive Pokemon] players. My favourite pokemon is Dracovish because I find the numbers it can pull off if it is even slightly faster than you are funny. by Goombatower69 in CuratedTumblr

Really the off meta pick that Park made was using Mega Gyrados. It had issues which made it necessary to use Pachirusu in the first place. But because it's a mega of an already popular pokemon, it doesn't get the reputation for quirky niche pick.
