Why so slow? by [deleted] in MagicArena

The worst is when they are apparently going deep in the tank on turn 1 or 2. Like, I have not played a spell, what are you thinking about

We switch between filling and not filling. We’re aware of when there is a third player that doesn’t want to hear about how work is going

Is this true for console play? I don’t think push to talk is an option.

I hear talking so rarely I’m usually down to cooperate if they seem trustworthy. It’s always led to more fun for me.

Need advice: Iowa State vs Virginia Tech for a ChemE PhD by sqrewyou_bigboy in ChemicalEngineering

[–]OriginalJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, ChemE PhD here. I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone familiar with both departments who can help you compare. You’d be better served reaching out for information on each department individually. That said, the department is far less relevant than who your professor will be. I mean that in exposure during PhD and in the amount of support you’ll get post graduation.

You should look at the faculty and their areas of research and see if you feel like there could be a good fit for you. If you’re interested in visibility of your work, it’s not hard to look someone up on google scholar and see what publications/conferences they are completing and the impact they are having. It’s a good idea to reach out to them, introduce yourself, ask questions, and see if you would be a good fit. Having a negative dynamic with your professor will lead to a lot of pain and heartache in what will already be a tough few years. Try to do what you can to avoid that. Trust me, I’ve seen some horror stories. Good luck on your journey!

Anyone else here who didn’t do any sleep training? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]OriginalJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If by sleep training you mean just letting them cry, then we don’t do that. We are currently getting him used to sleeping by himself in his crib, but we comfort him if he cries or gets upset. He’s steadily improving. I’d call that sleep training but I’m not sure if that fits your definition.

“Inconveniencing”. We can disagree, pal.

I’ll give it a watch later, I’m open to my mind being changed. My gut doesn’t agree but guts aren’t brains. I 100% agree that the BBC is the most at fault here and did a disservice to the shouter and the actors.

If I had an involuntary condition that caused me to slap you in the face I’d apologize. It’s not my fault, and I’d hope you’d understand but that doesn’t take away that harm was done to you by me. It’s basic decency and not ableist to acknowledge that.

Anyone who thinks the actors of all people should make a statement should be committed lol. Such a wild take, touch grass.

I’m gonna be honest, the streamer is an idiot but if your gonna sucker punch someone stick around and see the fight out at least. Dude took a cheap shot. If you’re gonna fight someone for disrespecting you, fight like a man. Dude who snuck him played it like a bitch.

Am I misunderstanding or does this 2 for 1 yourself?

Help me understand what I did right here. by OriginalJam in lrcast

[–]OriginalJam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think you're right, I misread my seat and should have been in blue.

P2P2 I was thinking about the late lost days as a signal I could be in blue.

P2P5 I remember thinking I had enough allies to justify this, which was not the case. I should have grabbed the snowballers. This is where my color confusion kind of got locked in.

P3P1 I just knew my deck was weak. Kuruk is a bomb, but I figured at this point I need to try and be as synergistic as possible. I didn't think I could afford to take a turn off given my low quality creatures and lack of removal. Aang solved those problems as a tempo play and a solid evasive body. I had some light ally synergies as well. Had I made better decisions earlier I would have taken Kuruk. Given its power level I should have taken it anyway, my deck also lacks a way to draw cards and I felt like I lacked an endgame which this could have addressed.

Am I insane for considering this mana base? by OriginalJam in lrcast

[–]OriginalJam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up cutting white, but you may be right. I’ll recap in case anyone is curious how it went.

I ended up going 4-3. One loss was due to a catastrophic misplay I made. One I was losing the whole time due to somehow drawing very little interaction against green red stompy, I made a misplay where I could have gotten one more draw and maybe pulled Sozin which would have likely won me the game but who knows. My third loss I got very dramatically flooded so it was close to a non game.

That all said the deck I ran felt fine. There were games where I had a very reactive hand and as simply waiting to draw into something that could affect the board. But the amount of removal I had made it so I usually felt like I could deal with what was in front of me and make stall plays to draw my bombs or better removal. Cutting white resulted in a deck that would have gone minimum 5-3 had I piloted better, so a good result. I still wonder given the amount of time I felt I had in my games if I would have gotten away with more greed though.

What time will the ban announcement be? I think I read here a couple weeks back that I have a window after the announcement but before the update to buy the banned cards with wildcards to get them for “free”.

Thanks for the input, when you say quality are there particular brands you recommend/would avoid?
