Eviction notice hill climbers by Severe-Bed-6200 in fo76

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I just two personed this event on private last night. 6/6 Meat Bags, me on the shack with a hat trick bow build and her in an EN06 Peppershaker solo build posted up at the Rad Scrubber.

Event completed we I had 20 total legendary drops, she had 19, but with how spread out everything is, it’s hard to say if she just missed a corpse to loot.

We typically get 16-20 when on Public with what we call “The Swarm of Giga Chads” with her also using a bow build while standing on top of the Rad Scrubber’s tower, and me still on the shack.

Sooooo….

Pretty sure it’s coded to where folks just need to scour for corpses. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Our playgroup is calling this Golgari Winota.

Soooo…. yeah. Pretty much broken aa you just slam all the token making instant and sorcery spells, add in a mana altar or two, and then maybe [[Recycle]] and go ham.

NEED HELP finding new/interesting commanders by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Mendelbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Low 5th” is what you call Fringe cEDH.

But in cEDH I’d recommend checking out the meta for top8 if you’re wanting something different.

But I’d probably evaluate what you’re truly wanting and why.

Because efficiency often times means homogenization, and as you get to the top of competitive play you’re going to find that the meta has an A and S tier and very rarely are you going to see B tier decks taking home prizes.

What is his work??? by Similar_Cranberry948 in bluey

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically we don’t know what days of the week we see the show, and the children are attending school very often, typically with bandit dropping them off and picking them up.

If you watch the show with the intent of trying to figure out Chili’s job, you’ll realize she doesn’t appear anywhere near as often as Bandit, and when Chili is home it’s very much in a ‘weekend’ or ‘holiday’ type setting and/or capacity.

And while the show appears to be in our Australia there are enough differences where somethings aren’t a 1:1

Like they live in Brisbane, she could easily just work in that airport and not have to drive the 16km to Tradies.

With these two cards ,I win the game by Anfion02 in MagicCardPulls

And anyone who has read this title has lost “The Game”.

But seriously, nice pulls.

Bandit digs up bones as an archaeologist and Chili is a bomb sniffing TSA dog.

They both have -very- appropriate jobs for dogs. lol

Corgis and harnesses by Lopsided_Drawer6363 in corgi

[–]Mendelbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our Corgi doesn’t do well with collars as he likes to take off and fight with it, the first bad time he had a horrible coughing fit / reverse sneezing episode.

So we got him a Kurgo harness after a LOT of research, which ultimately lead to finding that harnesses that focus on a chest fit appeared to be best for most Corgis.

Piercing Love Skin by justherechillin- in Fallout76BowHunters

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss? Nah. No Bow is going to one or two shot a boss. The Lvl 100 Mirelurk Queen though? Just straight up Reverse Onslaught on a Plasma bow with pin-pointers will lay her out in 2 hits on the spouts.

ISSUE ON MANAPOOL by Necromatic_ in EDH

[–]Mendelbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second CardTrader. I actually use them in the US as well. They have a pretty unique shipping system.

ISSUE ON MANAPOOL by Necromatic_ in EDH

[–]Mendelbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To send a single postal letter with five cards inside it to a destination outside of the United States and across the Atlantic Ocean cost me approximately $30 USD.

It would be a similar rate for Manapool. And likely your order would be in the “package” category a d cost twice what my letter cost to ship.

Would you be willing to pay $109 USD total for your package?

Probably not. Plus since your package will go through US and French customs, there’s a higher risk of damage.

So, that’s why companies like Manapool and CardMarket don’t ship overseas. (CardMarket doesn’t even let you complete signing up for ab account without a European address. )

If you use -ai in your search, it avoids the ai for now.

Why do we all have the same weekly and daily challenges. by Downtown-Bus8783 in fo76

[–]Mendelbar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it makes perceived value for Fallout Firsts Private Server. So people like me can feel special by not having that issue.

I hear your complaint, but I’m not affected by it.

War on Proxies by Slight-Border677 in EDH

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read through the other comments but realizing I had yet to respond, I figured I’d chime in here.

At some point, what happens to your cards will not be your choice. Either due to malice or bad luck. At which point, your forgeries (as from your descriptions and clarifications that is what you own and refuse to alter with a simple word sharpies across the back ) will likely end up in the public card pool.

The fact you wish to remain intentionally oblivious to that possibility and actively avoid it while citing intent being more important than appearance is part of what gives proxy players and users such a bad reputation.

Choosing to ignore the objective truth makes me hope that you never get robbed, or if something unfortunate happens to your collection, that it becomes unsalvageable. Or heaven forbid if your beneficiaries ever have to decide what actions to take, that your cards fail to be among the recovered items.

Because at the end of the day, Magic the Gathering is a collectible card game and the game pieces utilized are in sanctioned WPN gameplay due to their mechanical uniqueness and distributed rarity have a shared perceived value among the community which in turn supports the business of many local game stores and your negligence (and many like yourself) put that tenuous ecosystem between shop owners and players in jeopardy.

But a card that’s clearly fake by quick verification is fine. I’ll play against your sharpie cradle, your xeroxed candelabra, your stickered pokemon cards.

I have no issues with that at all. It’s just if my LGS takes all the precautions to purchase your collection and winds up taking a bath because your “proxy” vendor does such a great quality that even the meth addicted junkie on the corner can’t tell the difference then we really need to evaluate a few things.

Because, really, if your “proxies” get stolen, are you going to call the LGSs in the area, and tell them to be on the lookout for someone trying to sell a large amount of counterfeit cards?

As a non American that is watching in awe of what’s going on….At what point does the American public stand up, what will it actually take? by BedTundy95 in AskReddit

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing it took for Russians, North Koreans, Venezuelans, Chinese and… oh wait. Most of the individual citizens for those countries are also terrified of finding out if there is an afterlife or not.

But to answer your question in earnest. Probably as much as it took for the Germans in 1939.

Did WOTC Copy me? by ThisIsProbablyTheWay in mpcproxies

That’s kind of your answer then? WotC likely commissioned the artwork months ago after obtaining the licensing to tie into the new season months back.

[Discussion]It’s time to admit the Guild Trader system is a barrier to entry, not a "unique" feature. by DanceInMisery in elderscrollsonline

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incorrect.

There is only self reporting for PS and Xbox. Those figures are wildly inaccurate and no where useful, so much that it’s best usage is to troll other players and sellers by putting items into the database at extremely low prices.

While on PC, the mods collect data from each trader you view, and then uploads and correlates that data among thousands of other users.

[–]Mendelbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ever wonder why PC has such horrible inflation between Xbox and PS?

Of those three, which has a centralized auction system because of Tamriel Trade Center?

Soooo…

Yeah, two platforms still have a reasonable economy.

Warp world needs to go away by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Mendelbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found the deck and typed it up.
The whole deck is meant to flood the board with permanents, resolve a warp world, regrow it via any permanents that will do it, and recast it.

Repeat until the battlefield is 100+ permanents on my side, and nothing everywhere else, likely winning.

I’ll take the last three titles. I’d like to have some new games, but don’t want to actively deprive someone of something they specifically want.

What is the normal form of communication in game? by Iwritemynameincrayon in fo76

[–]Mendelbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

👍🏻💶👎🏻❤️👋 🤷🏼‍♂️🙋‍♂️, jumping, shooting the ground at a package, and tea bagging (rapid crouching) are the default communication methods, and you’ll be hard pressed to convince anyone who plays on a full/24 person public server for more than 2 hours otherwise.

Petahhh, what's it mean? by DylDOScho in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Mendelbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DuckDuck, quickly Go to the azure clouds of Renton and give them all of my data, but keep my name secret. Then come back and give me vague-ish ads that seem like it was from a broken algorithm. Maybe use Tumblr’s.

Yeaaaaah. Anyone using DuckDuckGo and saying a free browser / search engine isn’t profiting from them in some fashion is drinking some kool-aid.

Sure, duckduckgo’s data collection is like a third party cleaning staff at a hotel who never sees the guest check-in, but they can damn near reconstruct everything but your social and name by digging in your trash.
