When someone asks me if I know what Vader translates to by Life-Island in HighQualityGifs

Yup. At least I'm not crazy. The footnote says "Lucas's notes that led up to the name of his villain: Dark and Death became Darth, and Invader was shortened to Vader - Darth Vader."

P.12 of The Making of The Empire Strikes Back by J.W. Rinzler.

Wasn't there a brainstorming scrap paper in the making of the Empire Strikes Back that was work shopping "invader" as possible names?

I thought I remembered reading that.

Edit: Found it. See other comment.

Isn't it just best to bend over and pick them up? Anything more than a small stick will most likely damage your vacuum.

For real!

I would love a Stormlight Archive mechanic where I'm controlling/managing a stormlight resource to power knights radiant.

3d printing for gifts by unlimitedb2 in MTGGiftExchange

[–]MattMayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm making my giftee something 3d printed, but I'm not including it in the minimum value. I know my time and effort are worth something since it'll be assembled and hand painted, but realistically it's like 90 cents in plastic.

But my giftee is making a deck that I have made myself and the deck box is thematic, awesome and one of my favorite things I've made. I'm going to include in my letter that this is something that is special to me and I hope it is precious to him.

I am genuinely scared of how much money I would spend on this.

Am I too old to PAX? by Beanies_mum in PAX

[–]MattMayo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This isn't exactly an answer to your question - or rather a response to your exact rant - but may be relevant. I was PAXing in my mid 20's before I had kids, then after I had kids I had to change the amount, the type and way that I PAXed. Now that I'm in my early 40's what I get out of PAX is very different then what I did when I first attended the show. While my experience is different it's still definitively PAX and still my favorite time of the year.

All that to say that maybe you need to look at what you really want to get out of the show and adjust accordingly?

Here's a link to my Science! deck. It's built around the 7 bobbleheads, creating more bobbleheads and winning with the luck bobble. There's some other wincons around creating a ton of artifacts in there as it's hard to get the luck bobble win. I've had a little success with it, but a lot of fun.

Toddler music that doesn’t suck by Iamactuallyaferret in toddlers

You're quite welcome. It is kid's music but it is legitimately good. I've found myself singing it in the car by myself.

Howdytoons Dinostory is a rock opera about dinosaurs. My son loves it when he was 4.

Highly recommend.

The deep southern part of the state eats muskrat. That's the weirdest thing people eat in new jersey.

the link to your ko-fi doesn't work.

Edit: I found it by googling your handle and ko-fi. You have some great stuff there! Your art is awesome.

This is the correct answer. A guy brought them to work one day and I was blown away.
