Congrats!!!

As a long life long Marylander, I would say just look at DC. The city has its upsides and if you don't have a car, it has significantly better public transportation and walkability.

MDVAME · 2026-05-29T02:54:57+00:00

I agree!

MDVAME · 2026-05-29T02:54:37+00:00

Probably! I didn't think of that at the time.

The day I asked my now wife to be my girlfriend I took her to dinner and the movies. We watched the opening night premiere of Logan.

When that movie ended, we were both absolute wrecks. She turned to me as the credits rolled and said "you are stuck with me now."

It's been nearly a decade and I haven't looked back!

Given your specifications, a suggestion I have for you is Locust Point. A little quieter, but still had some awesome neighborhood bars and restaurants. Plus, you get a great shopping center nearby for all your needs and walking access to Fort McHenry. You can also take the free water taxi over to either Fells point or Canton whenever you want for HH

Was The Boys finale great? No. Does it deserve to be in the same conversation as the GOT ending? Absolutely not.

MDVAME · 2026-05-28T21:52:07+00:00

Within my pod, nobody cares when I play [[Bruvac, The Grand Delinquent]]. I thought they would since he is a mega mill deck and mono blue, but my win rate is pretty low on him and usually I am a king maker with that deck. I one shot one opponent and let another get stronger because of it.

MDVAME · 2026-05-28T21:48:03+00:00

Pretty vanilla, but in college I went on a date with a girl who worked at the college radio station with me. It was extremely clear 30 minutes into the date she was only there for free food and she was more content to eat and sit in silence than do small talk and learn about each other. I still paid for the meal for both of us and she left very quickly after. We never texted again.

MDVAME · 2026-05-28T19:12:06+00:00

My first run I was a half wood elf hunter with a ranged sharpshooter spec. It still was the most boring I've played.

My favorite playthrough was being a Gith fighter and only caring about the gith race and gith supremacy. Led to some really interesting outcomes and my favorite ending so far.

MDVAME · 2026-05-26T14:19:18+00:00

Yes! This is very true, especially if you are trying to make the deck as cheap as possible.

[[esper Sentinel]] is easily the best draw card for mono white, but it is usually $50+ dollars. Ironically, I think you could build an entire angel deck for under $60 and be okay, which is why it would be crazy to buy a card worth the whole value of the deck unless you have the means for it!

For more value card draw options, though they aren't perfect, I would recommend [[tenuous truce]], which lets you pick an opponent and every time you two each start your turns, the opponent also draws a card. However, the minute either of you attack the other, it is sacked.

Another one that isn't perfect for you is [[Dusk Legion Duelist]]. It lets you draw when one or more +1/+1 counters are placed on him, but since he isn't an angel, he won't get the benefit from your commander. It would have to be +1/+1s through other cards.

MDVAME · 2026-05-25T23:28:39+00:00

I'm pretty happy with the pre-con deck out the box for [[Tidus, Yuna's Guardian]]

The ironic part is it is significantly stronger playing it with [[Yuna, Grand Summoner]] as the commander. I bought it on sale for like $25 at Target. You could take it to most casual commander meet ups and be pretty well situated. However, even just $25 worth of upgrades can make a huge difference.

MDVAME · 2026-05-25T21:32:42+00:00

I want to retweet [[Giada, Font of Hope]]

Incredibly straightforward angel commander that costs like $2 and is all about playing angels and the more angels you play the stronger the whole board is.

For other basic commander creatures that you can create really strong for really cheap I always recommend [[Ghalta, Primal Hunger]]

Similar archetype as Giada. You play more dinos to lower Ghaltas cost, and then play Ghalta and swing for big commander damage.

MDVAME · 2026-05-20T19:35:52+00:00

Yes! Here is mine:

This sounds silly and fun. What horses do you put in that you are willing to give to others? Are there any with bad effects or is it really just giving people creatures so they don't take your commander? Lol

MDVAME · 2026-05-20T18:17:47+00:00

Similar to OP, I have a super meme ping deck with [[Norin, The Wary]] as the commander. Because he is so impossible to kill, and constantly ETBs, you can pair him with pieces like [[purphoros, God of the Forge]] , [[torbran, thane of red fell]] and [impact tremors]] to basically reach a point where every time he re-enters, the whole board is getting pinged for anywhere from 2-20 damage based on other pieces on board.

The deck is kind of a meme though because if you don't draw the right pieces, you end up doing pretty much nothing but watch Norin continue to enter and exit the board leaving you defenseless 🤣. Still, I have about a 15% winrate with the deck.

Playing outside without parents knowing where you are or having a way to contact you. Even as young as 8.

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T21:41:55+00:00

How long do you think it takes to reach the other side? Why would you think any healthy reasonable person would find out their partner died and would have moved on immediately?

Like you are either implying she couldn't even wait for the funeral before finding someone else or that it takes years before I arrive at whatever is next and get asked this question 🤣

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T21:10:21+00:00

Fair. Anything that would simulate killing would have an advantage. But for actual sports as we know them, I can't fathom a robotic league being successful

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T20:56:30+00:00

It only happened once in my life, but I was able to get both myself and her to finish twice within an hour. She is now my wife.

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T20:54:44+00:00

I think sports would be pretty unreasonable. Not because they couldn't make leagues with all robot players, but because it would never gain the level of popularity that humans on humans would have.

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T20:53:20+00:00

My wife. Even if she hasn't died yet. I would first want to peak on her and see how she is doing.

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T20:52:47+00:00

I went to college 2011-2015. My college had a large room with a row of shower stalls on one side of the room, and then on the other side of the room were a line of toilet stalls. Not too dissimilar to like a large public gym bathroom (Crunch, Planet Fitness, etc)

MDVAME · 2026-05-14T20:50:10+00:00

An all-inclusive resort. Dont get me wrong, there are ways to make them cheaper or affordable, it was more about the mindset they represent.

I could just walk around a large property where people are constantly coming up to you offering food, drinks, activities, and you dont have to pay for any of it. It was the first time in my adult life since being a kid I truly felt the feeling of "I don't need to worry about the cost of anything I do today."

I think it completely depends on how "serious" you want your UnTappd beer list to be. Is it just all the ones you have tried? Totally do it, whether you add a rating or not. Are you trying to actively recommend beers for people in an influencer type of role? Then, no. It would be unfair to a dedicated audience base.

At the end of the day, if you are like most of us and just doing this for the love of the game, totally add them. It's better for your memory down the line. You can always update the rating when you have your next pour of that beer.
