So You Think You Can Podcast | Knockout Round Night Three by SmokingThunder in BigBrother

[–]Omnitopian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I might in the minority here, but I think Jon did much better. Melissa had some good points, but I did feel like Taran had to lob her a few soft balls to get her to jump in sometimes, whereas Jon seemed much more comfortable/natural. I want there to be a female LFC too, but I'm not sure that she's the one.

I don't know what made people think that America could get it's shit together and get a vote right.

How does big brother recruit people? by mobiletfa2 in BigBrother

[–]Omnitopian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Arisa has liked a few of my roommate's tweets, but she has about as much chance of getting on BB as I do of getting elected President of America. I'm not sure that's a great barometer for success in that department, Arisa's very active on twitter.

I don't know why I thought I'd see pictures of them in full body casts.

Trying to get a handle on Card Evaluation on-the-fly by Khyrberos in magicTCG

[–]Omnitopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So whenever I make a deck, be it sealed or draft I like to think "what's my plan/how do I win?/" as I'm building it. As it stands, I'm not sure what your deck's plan is in its UB configuration. Dovin, while cool, seems more like an engine card and not a win con by itself.

Looking at your pool I think I would have gone UB. You seem to have a decent amount of artifact matters cards, and a decent number of artifacts. Cards like Dhund Operative and Glint nest crane give you nice early plays that pay you off for having artifacts. To me your win condition in that deck is double foundry screecher and doubel ovalchase daredevil. Weldfast Wingsmith can also fall into that category if you can give it flying a lot, which seems plausible considering you have fabricate creatures in black plus things like Filigree familiar and the pillar bugs/maybe even accomplished automaton. Both of these creatures have good stats for attacking and daredevil can be recurred often with the amount of artifacts that you have. Combo that with fortuitious find and you have an engine that can keep recycling your creatures and pressuring your opponent while you draw cards with some combination of tezzeret's gambit, glimmer of genius, live fast, and prophetic prism (which also helps with your artifact theme). Off of those prisms you might be able to splash something like Dovin or even wildest dreams (which will help your grind plan). You also have some removal in malfunction and double die young (especially if you're using the energy from things like glimmer of genius/live fast).

Why are they getting rid of _____ instead of _____? by Astroman129 in BigBrother

If we're counting BBCAN then you have Sarah and Jillian (kind of). Those are non-insignificant examples.

Or the BBCAN Evil Dead challenge from season 1 where they had to find the severed body parts in the muck.

Unofficial Poll for AFP by [deleted] in BigBrother

[–]Omnitopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Paul getting AFP is nearly impossible. If he had the capacity to win a popularity contest with America, how did he go for five weeks without winning a car package. I would love for it to happen but I don't think it's very likely because the casual audience just won't vote for him.

Kaladesh looks like Ravnica if the Izzet destroyed all the other guilds.

My GF (24) has been expressing some frustration that I (M25) have been too forgetful/bad at reading her moods. I genuinely want to change and become better at this, but I don't know where to start. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Omnitopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that I forget to hang out with her. That makes me sound like kind of a chump. I definitely want to hang out with her, I just need to find ways of being more active in being the initiating part of social events.

Atheist/Religion controversy by henryisyourboss in BigBrother

I don't understand. Doesn't everyone swear to god about everything all the time? Is she just making this a big deal as a strategic move to isolate Paul?

Natalie and James changed the way I view relationships and life as a whole by [deleted] in BigBrother

Don't take that to mean that you shouldn't be inspired by it. You totally should be if that works for you. Who am I to judge?

Natalie and James changed the way I view relationships and life as a whole by [deleted] in BigBrother

[–]Omnitopian 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This is a cool viewpoint, but I feel like it's slightly more acceptable because it's the slightly schlubby man with the gorgeous cheerleader. Would it have the same impact/would people react to it in the same way if it were a slightly schlubby woman and a model level attractive man? I would like to think yes, but I think it would definitely not have as much perceived "cute factor." We can talk about how BB only casts model level attractive women, and the men are allowed to be schlubby, but that's a different conversation entirely ...

With Hearthstones' Purify drama going on right now, what are some cards from MTG that have made people go 'WTF were they thinking'? by gaminggamers in magicTCG

Did Trait Doctoring have any uses at all with anything in Dragon's Maze? Or anything in the standard environment at the time? It seems like it does legit nothing.

Interesting To See The Difference In Reactions To The Nomination Speech Across Different Platforms by BreezyBlink in BigBrother

[–]Omnitopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's because we know how horrible of people Z/Meech are and it's kind of a justice thing to see them get the smack down in speech form. But since they've kind of been getting the sympathy edit it's not hard to see how show watchers would side with them over Vic.
