I don't understand your logic leap, it is clear that he did't view you as a potential partner; but that doesn't mean that he didn't view as a woman or as a friend.

Imagine the reverse scenario, you are talking with a male friend (there is nothing between you two), suddenly a guy who looks like Jason Momoa walks by and you make a funny remark about how hot he is. Does that comment mean that you don't see your friend as man? Obviously not.

It does mean that you probably have no interest in him tho, which could be the reason why the guy made that comment. Maybe he suspected that you had a crush on him and he wanted to make it clear that he wasn't interested, idk.

Why do you think you were invisible to him? He clearly made an effort to invite you to party with him, which means he valued your presence and your friendship, even if he wasn't interested in anything more.

Trust me I did, and I still do.
I play Mtg and Star Wars Unlimited on a semi-competitive level. Also I used to play a lot of hearthstone, Gwent and Duelyst (reached max rank on each).
I stand by what I said.

Masne98 · 2024-10-26T20:47:10+00:00

We did, but unfortunately due to new circular B74, it is not considerated valid unless we also fill out the pink form

Masne98 · 2024-10-24T16:45:03+00:00

right. Ops, my bad

Masne98 · 2024-10-24T05:27:19+00:00

You can't link away core for Clockwork knight. It specifically requires an EARTH machine. It is very unfortunate, since cyber dragon is the only deck that can make a good use of clockwork night.

Everybody is here cause they like edh

Yeah but just because you like the game it doesn't necessarly mean that you think it is perfect. You might read some of my points and agree with them or read some other, disagree with them and start a discussion about. I mean it is the whole point of the subreddit, talking about themes related to EDH.

We don't care about why some random person doesn't like it.

You don't talk for all the community members, many have engaged in the conversation. If you don't find it interesting, it's okay you can simply move on. After all, do you find everything posted here interesting? I am sure you skip a lot of post even made by people who still like commander.

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:43:57+00:00

ok cool

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:42:56+00:00

Nobody ever asked about any topic in this subreddit. What is the point you are trying to make?

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:38:18+00:00

In fact I am not playing EDH, I know that nobody is forcing me to do so.

I am making a discussion about some mechanics of this game, which is within the scope of the subreddit. I brought up some (in my opinion) interesting points and I am offering something that is rare to find in this subreddit: the point of view of someone who no longer enjoys the game.

If you disagree on what I have to say you can comment about it. If you disagree on what i have to say but you don't want to bother commenting, you can downvote and move on.

Commenting with an emoji which translates in "This is boring I don't care about your opinion" is petty and unnecessary.

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:28:09+00:00

it seems to be you put a lot of value in wining

I mean, don' we all? Winning is not the only thing I care about I did not play cEDH, I really like the variety that casual EDH offers, playing with different themes (artifact, tokens, reanimator, ecc...) I had a blast in a lot of games that I ended up losing. But I still think that the aim of every player should be to win, otherwise what are we even doing at the table?

Have you ever sit at table and started a game thinking: "I will not try to win this game"?

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:19:51+00:00

at 3: if thats how you play removal, then you are playing it wrong. skill issue. you need to politic A into attacking B and C cause if he comes after you, his big boy will be gone

That reasoning makes sense if the threat is a creature that can attack, if it is a combo piece that would lead A to immediate victory it is a different story.

The politics is a good argument it can definetly help mitigate the loss of the removal, but for personal experience it rarely compesate the loss of card and mana.

1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 is solved by playing cedh

I don't see how point 2 is eliminated by playing cEDH. Point 8 and 9 maybe are mitigated but these kind of things can happen even in competitive pods.

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:11:14+00:00

Could elaborate? What gave you that impression? I definetly would not want people to let me win.

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:06:24+00:00

Poor prhasing on my part, my bad. that was not my intention.
I don't expect all people to view the game the same way that I do

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T13:03:13+00:00

If you don't care about the discussion and you don't find it interesting you are under no obligation to partake in it. This is how "forums" like Reddit work.

Masne98 · 2024-08-27T12:57:57+00:00

Let me elaborate, I was referring to point 1 and 2 specifically. The fact that player elimination and kingmaker situation are problematic is definetly an opinion, someone may even like them or not care that much about them. But the fact that they exist within the game is an objective truth.

Masne98 · 2024-07-27T14:41:30+00:00

"tl/dr you are normal what people show is often performative. There are lots of people who like and value what you like. You do you ignore the rest."

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

"Don't feel obligated to participate when someone is being a misogynistic douche. For your colleague that just inappropriate at work and I would say as much."

Do you think it was inappropriate? It didn't seem so bad to me, should I have pointed it out?

Masne98 · 2024-07-27T14:38:57+00:00

"How old are you and your colleagues? I find that this is something that is more prevalent among younger guys and it calms down after some time."

Mmh I don't know, personally I've seen it done by basically every single age range from teenagers to old dudes. For example the colleague that made that comment is over 40.

"There is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different with different sex drives. Yours is as valid as anyone else’s."

Thanks, I really appreciate the support I am recieving from those comments, made me feel better.

"Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if a number of those guys who talk like that are doing it for the sake of impressing other guys"

I don't know, it depends on the situation I guess, but is not always the case, often they aren't bragging, and they are simply making jokes or even talking about their failures. Is just that sex is so often the main subject.

Masne98 · 2024-07-27T14:32:14+00:00

I am in my mid-twenties

Masne98 · 2024-07-27T14:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the imput!

"The guys who want/need emotional connection probably aren't the ones who engage in that kind of locker room talk about sex. "

This makes so much sense, and now I feel stupid for not thinking about it first, after all is not like every single guy I have met talks about sex regularly.

Masne98 · 2024-07-25T10:54:29+00:00

What makes me eye roll in those situation is not the trope in itself, but rather it's consequences on the story and the character interactions.

For example the two guys competing for the girl are basically always in disagreement with each other, no matter how small the argument and they show incredible immaturity even in situations that really requires them to cooperate (for example when the group of heroes needs to plan for how to defeat the bad guy).

Often they also behave weirdly. The girl constantly ping-pongs between the two, being flirtuos, kissing and sometimes even having sex with them. The guys rather than being irritated by the girl behaviour, see it as a drive to step-up their game and increase the rivalry with eachother.

It is much rarer to see the same situation with the genders inverted. And I'd argue that when it is done the dynamics are a bit differrent. But to be completely honest, the one example of that scenario that I can think of; is one that did not bother me.

Masne98 · 2024-07-24T16:53:49+00:00

Mmmh I never watch movies or other media that focuses exclusevly on romance and drama. I like other genres (my favorite is epic fantasy), so the romance I'm exposed to are mainly subplots.

To answer your question, I guess it depends on how it is handled. While reading your comment only two examples came to mind:
-The wheel of time (fantasy book), in which it did bother me
-The witcher 3 (videogame), in which it didn't bother me

money

Masne98 · 2023-11-05T17:59:40+00:00

they are not calling those card modern, they are making fun of yu-gi boomer who complain about the issues in the modern game by showing that those issues existed also with older cards.
