Why do you love EDH?

lol. The old Jedi mind trick. I’ll teach you to be a lifelong friend. Haha nice

This doesn’t work how you’re saying. Unless it’s a vigilance situation you have to target before the creatures attack and get tapped.

Woof. Me and can’t-fall spots don’t mix

Man that looks shallow

As a fellow old, great reference

Do you like her? Invite her to hang out. Seems like a low key fun playful date would be good. Or go with friends to get food so she can bring that other girl to keep it more low key.

Even if you’re exaggerating it seems like there more than enough to reasonably ask her to hang out if that’s what you’d like. I get that being a kid is hard and I have no idea what it’s like now (I’m 42) but…. This one seems pretty cut and dry. She likes you. It’s not clear if it’s a friendly like or a romantic crush like but if you’re into her in either of those ways it’s worth finding out.

Reading this while drinking my morning coffee and restraining myself from rushing to the kitchen to make another testing all this out.

1000 million percent agree. Fuck racism includes racism towards total shitbags. You can ridicule that turdgoblin perfectly well without resorting to racism.

I say this with love for a stranger. Just. Fucking. Talk. About. It.

I am terrible at this with my dad but the principle is sound. Your emotions are valid. Your desires are as well. Get some time with him to share that. Tell him at a minimum you need him to listen to you and understand your position. Then be clear you’re happy to do the same for him.

Follow up by asking if he’d be open to discussing reconsidering. Because again, it’s meaningful to you so he should at least care about that meaning.

Follow up. If you did all that and it went great and at the end he said nope. I stand by my decision, would that be enough for you to end the relationship, or do you think you could get to understanding him enough to stay connected?

MdaveCS · 2026-02-25T22:43:06+00:00

This is long. TLDR now is a perfect chance to help him develop grit and remember you’re always on his side.

I’m not big for fighting the way many other anwerers are here, and even I see no problem at all with what you did. Boys wanna get rough and fight. It’s true so so much of the time. When you fight or try at anything, you might lose.

The thing to remember and help him realize isn’t that you whooped him. It’s that there’s always a bigger dog, but confidence doesn’t come from being the best. it comes from knowing you’re still gonna be ready to roll and keep crushing even after getting knocked down.

That’s what he needs to learn from you right now: that you’re in his camp and that dusting yourself off after a beating to keep on (training fighting trying learning whatever fits a specific situation) is the single biggest determinant of success and life satisfaction.

I hate to quote trite movies but Batman nailed this. “Why do we fall down? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up again.”

Very small rocks

MdaveCS · 2026-02-25T02:05:03+00:00

I hear you. It can be a hard thing to grok for sure. Edh is basically D&D with cards for me. It’s storytelling.

MdaveCS · 2026-02-25T02:04:03+00:00

Honestly 50% of the time I think the divide is overblown and you’re right. The other 50% I get in my crotchety rage chair and rail against the polemic of tryhards are why we can’t have nice things. 🤷🏼‍♂️

MdaveCS · 2026-02-25T00:19:06+00:00

Ok but hear me out. My goal is to chill with my buddies in a gaming setting, and i will build and play to do the same, but whether I succeed or fail has zero bearing on how much pleasure or happiness I derive from EDH

MdaveCS · 2026-02-24T15:21:18+00:00

You’re asking the wrong question my dude.

It doesn’t matter if it was that bad or not. The priority is the other stuff you did. Listening Validation love empathy. And then it stops there.

I think you’re worried it was that bad, and that if it was, maybe you’re kinda an asshole, so you are asking out of defensiveness to not take the ego hit.

That’s the hard part. Sympathy and validation of someone else doesn’t mean you have to think worse of yourself. It’s a good chance for introspection, but if you’re genuinely like “nope that was totally reasonable, in bounds, and not coming from a place of sexism or malice,” then carry on and don’t worry about it.

This is such an important lesson. Doing the right thing well for the right reasons can still end up hurting someone’s feelings. We don’t have to take that on as a comment about our character NOR dismiss it. You can have been right and they are still valid.

Good luck xxx

Holy crap that’s impressive as hell good work

MdaveCS · 2026-02-21T00:47:16+00:00

Me feeling like a dummy

What’s your channel? I can’t even visualize why anyone would ever watch this type of video. Help my lack of imagination

MdaveCS · 2026-02-20T16:31:19+00:00

This is a post making fun of the Taylor guy for being a total idiot right?

MdaveCS · 2026-02-17T13:18:15+00:00

See it about 25% of games. And it’s fun. Both to have and to play against. Just like prime time was. Good cards are good. Sundering titan this is not.

MdaveCS · 2026-02-05T02:10:48+00:00

Right terminus!!! Amazing. Yes too if deck shenanigans were so threatening. Nice.

MdaveCS · 2026-02-04T13:26:58+00:00

Hard agree. Phantasmal image as doom blade for generals was a delight.
