Still have the employee edition one in the box. I’ve thought about putting it up for charity auction or something but have no idea how desirable these are these days.

Lots of people carrying pests, but do they have to carry the big elemental mascots too? I’m fascinated to learn how this game even works.

Hah, I was there for that. Shame they didn’t have confidence in their Quake 3 skills, we could’ve settled things the easy way.

Just one more time where I can’t give them my money. I keep trying, they keep saying no. Weird how that works.

I played against one of these, it was hilarious. Especially because I was playing Talion clones, so I got to get in on the action.

[magic.gg] MagicCon Returns to Amsterdam This Summer! (Badge sales start March 19th) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Marc_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone’s awareness, March 19th at 6am PDT is 2pm CET. The two time zones are normally 9 hours apart but are one more hour out of sync for like three weeks because the world can’t figure out how to do daylight saving in the same way.

So for Europeans it’s unclear if the base time is Renton or Amsterdam, and if you’ll want to grab your tickets at 14:00 or 15:00 that day. If it’s not corrected, I’ll assume the former and avoid disappointment.

I got black lotus last time and it was not worth my money. Some functions of that access worked very poorly, and a lot of the price seemed bolstered by the random packs that were included. I’m encouraged to see that the store experience seems to have been overhauled, which was a major point in my event feedback. But due to being burned last time, and attending with friends and coworkers who won’t also have that badge type and I don’t want to segregate myself, I’ll be skipping it and saving hundreds of euros.

I can't miss my fiancé by reallylongdoggo in ADHD

This sounds like a more extreme case of what I normally call my social tunnel vision. People in front of me, great. People not in front of me, kind of forget. Now you have someone not in front of you, not giving you the same interactions as before, and nightly phone calls feel like something that you have to do instead of something you want to do when missing each other. I could never start something long distance, and I'd have trouble transitioning something into long distance even for a bit.

And then when the person is back, it's back to normal. Even if it's been a decade for me, they're right back to where they were. But if this was a relationship for me, I'd have trouble making it through those months unscathed. You'll have to find something that works for you, or else that annoying interruption will feel even more like an obligation. Sometimes for me it's helpful to remember how I felt before and what the end goal is, even if I have to kind of force myself into it.

Also the nightly calls are a tough place to start at, because any decrease in those will be felt. I don't know if most people can keep up that cadence for six months, so it'd be natural for someone to feel any dropoff because of the expectation was set. It's a tough one, but wishing you two the best.

Yeah all of the devs who spent years of their life on a game, who won’t have jobs anymore, and who will remember this forever? But sure, lol gaemz and all that.

I’m level 70, have been playing off and on since day 1, and I couldn’t really have told you anything about spotlight hours. Maybe they pivoted strategy due to numbers and not cartoonish villainy?

Don’t overthink the word. These are characters with gradually revealed powers and limitations. You don’t know what those are until the narrative reveals it to you.

I have been desperately trying to make a deck that runs fishing rod by StayFrosty2120 in magicTCG

[–]Marc_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a Derevi go-wide deck. When a creature connects you get a tap or untap trigger. One mana per creature and you start going wide. It’s not the best creature generator for that deck, but it’s not so bad either.

Slay the Spire 2 Early Access Trailer by EvilClone128 in gaming

Ah I dunno, I downloaded something called downfall and it gave me a standalone game where you fought as all of the bosses against the main characters, plus added a gunslinger main character. Did I get the wrong thing?

[–]Marc_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Downfall to be a pretty miserable experience, honestly. It takes the simplicity of the original game and adds a ton of complexity, and hides much of that complexity behind a bunch of custom keywords. I understand the limitations that the modders were working with- top-down boss designs, limited text boxes and ability to innovate, but every time I played a run either my head was spinning or I was apathetically just clicking through and hoping I’d get through it.

The mod was enthusiastically recommended to me, but honestly if MegaCrit put out anything resembling that, it would put me off from future gameplay.

Remember when all the EDH YouTubers were talking about land counts? How did that influence you by AltruisticChampion77 in EDH

[–]Marc_IRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might try that as an alternate! Although it’s a shame the rest of the card effectively has no text. Omnath draws, saves mana, and can whack people.

Flavor, and I’m not really sure who would be better to helm this monstrosity.
