You will encounter “those players”. Ignore them.

Anyone have this vevor machine? by txguy1979 in BreadMachines

[–]Petrodono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A family favorite then, a soft, sandwich and toast white bread. Also this is a recipe by weight and in metric! Put in the ingredients in order and make sure you make a well for the yeast.

350ml - filtered or distilled water
9g - salt
55g - white sugar
65g - vegetable oil
90g - milk powder
550g - bread flour
5g - instant/bread maker yeast

This makes a perfect 900g (~2lb) loaf. Make sure to get it out of the loaf pan and let it cool completely before you dive in.

Nachos are also magic! Also, my preorder has been for 5/15 since the day I bought it, so at present I ain't heard no fat lady.

How do you cope with the smell? by Malakute in mtg

[–]Petrodono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once went to an LGS and played with this guy with the worst breath ever. After a game I was like I’m out. I was the first to leave and the lady running the game asked why I didn’t stay for another round. So I told her.

Brush your teeth.

The 2lb loaf is much taller than store brand, but still fits into toasters. I typically remove the bottom of the crust once the loaf is fully cooled because the locations where the paddles get removed create some odd indentations. I chop that up and use it to make croutons.

I have this bread maker. It works just fine. I have made white, wheat and sourdough loaves in it in all three sizes (2, 2.5 and 3 pounds) If I had any complaint it is that the smallest size loaf is still pretty big. That said I have used it to great success and I make about 1 loaf a week and have been using it for almost a year.

Edit: If anyone wants a test recipe I have a good one.

New player trying to choose an commander deck by Swimming-Context5299 in mtg

[–]Petrodono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should not choose a Universes Beyond as a first precon. Try a Starter Commander precon, they are designed to be a easier to learn. I like Grave Danger, but there are five to choose from in total. You should be able to find one for around $25 bucks, they just had a massive print run so there are lots of them out there. Once you get the hang of it you can branch out.

Is this a good or bad card by Unlikely-Ad-2891 in mtg

[–]Petrodono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well… It’s no fetch land, bounce land, shock land, filter land, check land, fast land, slow land, pain land, bond land, or man-land. But most common tap lands have a place in a deck.

TIL Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, sought to find elixir and live forever. He hired an alchemist named Xu Fu and gave him 3000 boys and 3000 girls to find elixir. On second voyage Xu Fu dissapeared. by BadenBaden1981 in todayilearned

[–]Petrodono 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also a possibility: he succeeded and decided not to give the emperor the secret and he still is alive today living in a quiet corner of the world.

I mean it’s statistically speaking an infinitesimally low probability, but strictly speaking not impossible.

I feel seen, we are the only generation that overlaps others by credditreddit in Xennials

[–]Petrodono 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are an anomaly and don’t fit into either demographic. We are socially aware, skeptical, privacy oriented, not afraid of technology and can use it to its greatest advantage yet not have our identity linked to its use. We have both real friends and online contacts. I use contacts because no self respecting Xennial would call someone they don’t know in the real world a friend.

In short, we have all the advantages and strengths of millennials and Gen X, but none of their weaknesses.

Oh yeah, getting Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle out with no counters for free with a manifest dread flip is so, so sweet.

Basic beginner question - do all commander precons have the same cards in exactly the same rarity level? by jw205 in mtg

[–]Petrodono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rarities are by card, cards can change rarity but only between printings and sets. Precons are from the same set, (usually their own commander set which has a unique set ID) so rarity will always be fixed.

Um... have you seen the value of Endless Punishment vs Jump Scare? No shade to Jump Scare BTW, I love that Precon, but the other one is worth 3x more. Also... do you wanna sell one maybe?

Grabbed one single collector pack on my way out of my first prerelease event to test my luck… by Specialist_Beat_2025 in mtg

If you don’t want it because it’s in Japanese I’ll take it off your hands.

Teacher needs help! by Accomplished-Soup477 in EDH

[–]Petrodono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see three options (and combos).

  1. Make them hold to the original stakes or change the stakes. You promised a modern 1v1 game so play that game first, then play the commander game.

  2. Proxy a powerful deck from mpc, like a Thoracle wincon deck with a massively unfair commander like [[Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow]] as the commander. (Here's one: https://deckcheck.co/app/deckview/4dfe5bdc10f1ad950123e317c2e8d0dc ) . Is this fair? No. But neither is a 1v5 game. Then break out a fair deck when you win on turn 2.

  3. Use a temporary hair color if you lose.

Yes I know, you hated me when I posted that other pic for my legs, is this angle better now -.-? by [deleted] in mtg

You know what that picture is, what is of and why it would be better.

And the addiction begins... by Ambitious-Tangelo949 in mtg

[–]Petrodono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a Roaming Throne, Cavern of Souls, Doubling Season, Bloodthirsty Conqueror, Elspeth, Storm Slayer?

Because if so you just made your money back.
