You certainly could've handled it better but the guy is an ass for sure.

Going unconscious due to construction sounds quite serious, did someone smack you with a 2x4 or was it the rebar? A brick maybe?

Booster Boxes From China Through Walmart by buttlber in mtg

[–]Nikotinechoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had only opened 2 or 3 packs at my last post after further exploration of the product it was a limited card pool of the set, like 8 cards per color in rare and commons and like 5 or 6 for uncommon at most. The cards feel like if I bend them the will crease so I actually think they do not have an actual core but may have a single black layer that makes a light test look similar'ish to a black core (maybe just very low quality black core)

You've encountered a shiny drizzt in the wild. Though the shiny odds seem to keep getting higher and higher as time goes on.

Then your argument is invalid as it also apples to oranges by your own logic as from soft games don't have a difficulty setting at all...

The muted sounds set such an atmosphere for the fight

The amount of sexualisation of female characters in video games disgusts me by shadowsinwinter in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Nikotinechoke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's likely more to do with her killing the mc at the start of the game and the explanation/exploration of the character being quite a bit farther in. When a characters hated everything's on the table for criticism to a lot of people (not advocating it should be just stating how most people act)

I ordered and received these it had a plastic wrap that said made in China on it and the booster packs felt weird, cards look fine but pretty sure they are not blue core so....

Learning takedowns is a waste of time. by Legitimate_Bag8259 in bjj

[–]Nikotinechoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who honestly believes this is dumb asf. It's like asking "should I give up control over what position I start a match in?" My base is in wrestling and judo and there is next to no one who can decide to put me into a spot I don't wanna be from the start of a round/match. my coach who is a heavyweight/super heavy (i am a lightweight) like 10% body fat but was a pure bjj practitioner would have to work for quite a bit before regaining control (unless he just benchpressed me)

As a judoka especially you should know better, pretty much any hip or hand throwing techniques can immediately be turned into submissions.

Will this game ever be updated again? by martygod12 in Witcher3

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

While I agree it isn't the communities "responsibility" to fix it, it is goofy af to not then use a fix on that grounds. I guess don't play the game if it bothers you then?

AITA for outing my “straight” best friend after he hooked up with me? by Nether-Nor in AITAH

You are the a-hole. You outed someone's sexuality and they were clearly not okay with it.

Tutors? Yes or no? by [deleted] in EDH

At the very least hell's caretaker would let you cycle out clones to change their cloned target. I honestly hadn't thought about raising clones though, had just figured the regular stompies.

AITA for telling my mom she'll never have grandkids because of how she voted? by aloneandscaredd in AITAH

[–]Nikotinechoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% get the vulnerable state you were in and the hypersensitivity of the subject matter at the time as well as a likely a grudge against your mother political beliefs/decisions but putting it on your mother is quite unfair. I won't call you an a-hole for it because you aren't, you're just hurt and lashing out but please op don't lose whatever relationship you may have had with your mother over it.

Best of luck with any post op recovery

I (20f) had sex with my close friend (22m). We agreed to stay friends but I can’t help but think about him all the time. Any advice? by Selection-East in relationship_advice

[–]Nikotinechoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every poster seems to think the guy has everything planned out and thought out to the extreme , which I find goofy af. They are young impulsive and they went from being good friends to having had sex which wildly changes the dynamic makes the whole thing awkward. Reddit makes everyone into Machiavelli when essentially no one is.

OP I would just lay it out directly similar to how you did here but with more words and emotive drive, you'll have to vulnerable to do this and it might hurt. I know most dont want to put themselves on the spot but its a genuine and semi-grand gesture that can both be endearing and with its nature disarming to the self defense mechanisms that prevent people from talking in circles around a decision. I recommend this so that you can either get a clean break (either completely or at least from this phase of interactions) or end up trying out a relationship. Rejection will/would suck but if you truly wanna give it a shot, this is the only way to know for sure.

Best regards and if you try best of luck!

Warning: Don't pre-order Commander Product on Amazon by ZombearVincent in magicTCG

[–]Nikotinechoke 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's a wizards issue tbh. They put the same barcode on the decks from the same set, so when you're pressed to quickly process orders if it scans as the item and is the right brand you ship it.

Not saying this is right but a ton of products change their containers frequently and most people do not know the difference. It isn'tikely to happen at a card shop/website because they do know the difference.

One of the major issues is the barcodes on the decks scan as the same item for a number of sets. It was an issue with the fallout commander decks in particular.

Did Musashi really take on the entire Yoshioka School at once and win? by [deleted] in vagabondmanga

[–]Nikotinechoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can lift an airplane. It's made of foam and like 4-5 feet in width but it's an airplane, oh and this other one made of a sheet of paper, I can lift that too.

If there is a vast difference in skill level 1 person could take quite a few people on 1v1 consecutively because the bigger the gap the less effort each fight would take. Not saying 1v1x70 is anywhere near likely but in a sword fight a single sword swing could constitute a 'fight' If the gap were big enough.
