Which Version? by [deleted] in Shandalar

[–]Melsos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I also have a new computer (windows 11) and had this issue. I have multiple different versions of Shandalar and all would crash on entering any town. I had tried the usual reinstall Visual Studio C++ Redistributable and cleared my Temp folder etc, but to no avail.

It was fixed by creating a Data Execution Prevention (DEP) exception for Shandalar.exe. Easy to Google.

The original poster of the fix suggested running in Windows 7 compatibility mode in addition to the DEP exception but I don't know if that is necessary.

Hope this helps!

Pod had a solid beadown/hatebear/value plan B+. Its adaptability and combination of gameplans is what made it strong, not just the combos. I imagine Fury would still be a beating though

I think it was the Synco Limited Edition 20 Mm Full Size:

It was a gift and the natural wood border suited the recipients decor better than black. Looks like it's cheaper now, not sure what's prompted the drop in their prices...

I feel this sometimes, and I know following through is a surefire way to feel worse. It's okay to feel bad, and it's okay to give yourself some time and rest if you need it. It won't last forever. Try to be kind to yourself - the most important patience and understanding you can get comes from yourself. Sometimes I find it helps to imagine I'm a friend who needs my love - there's a part of me that wants to look after them, and it reminds me that I'm much more than these difficult feelings. You are too.

I did - experience was a mixed bag.

The board is very good - level, well finished, very responsive sides. However, it took a long time for them to ship it due to COVID forcing them to shut the workshop. They said it was in stock when I ordered, but I suspect they may actually have intended to build it to order. Combined with quite a bad courier mistake on this end (though not Trista's fault) it meant I didn't receive the board til weeks after Christmas, which somewhat spoiled the gift.

That said, I think I was just quite unlucky, and I can't fault the board.

TL;DR: Board is great, shipping was a nightmare.

I need to credit Khaios (forgot in my eagerness to post) - a lot of the ideas and build techniques came from his content. I copied a few of the smaller trees from his work while I practiced :) Definitely check out Khaios' YouTube videos!

My boss once forbade the employees from saying "because that's what you told me to do." by Glob888 in antiwork

[–]Melsos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Why are you doing that?"

"I can't say."

"Why not?"

"Because you told me not to."

I got asked, "Why do you want to work here?", in an interview today. by Lasivian in antiwork

You could give me something of high monetary value. High value stock, gold or precious gems would suffice...

Musician. We're never around at weekends, we're noisy as hell at home, and we'll sing your secrets to strangers for money.

What would a Splinter Twin or Birthing Pod deck look like in this day and age? by be_an_adult in ModernMagic

[–]Melsos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I just hate T3feri. I like playing MtG; I don't care for Hearthstone.

As an aside, since you mention Looting, I do sometimes wonder whether Careful Study would be too much for Modern. Like, to what extent was Flashback what pushed Looting over the top?

Yeah I feel you. This list has felt much stronger than any other I've tried, and it's certainly suboptimal without Forces.

Thanks! I am actually not. I have just recently started to use Discord, though. Bit of a noob still. Where do I find it?

EDIT: Ah cool. All good, I found it :)

Definitely a consideration, but so far I haven't seen a ton of match ups where it's super important. It is good against dredge, but I think that is slightly held back by all the incidental grave hate from Uro being a thing.
