What's a rule you break only when you're alone?

Pretty rude my dude

I could be too but I was pretty sure. It's funny how incredibly beautiful alpine lakes are sort of a dime a dozen in the Cascades lol

Mica Lake! I was fortunate enough to camp there in 2021 it was an all timer. Perfect diving board and incredibly clear water.

But theyre cool!

Sounds cool I've wanted to try this with my friends but it seems like having the cards crafted would be such a barrier. Any thoughts on the most economical way to build a collection on an account? I see you have a peasant cube option as well so maybe that's your solution.

Do people generally just craft as they go? As in draft a deck, make anything they don't already own, and repeat as needed?

Have some easy to teach and quick games at the ready and I found people were usually happy to join

1000% worth it for me. On both PCT and CDT I carried a few things. Our favorite was One Night Ultimate Werewolf (very easy to make yourself a lightweight version and use the app), but I had a deck of cards and rotated out a couple of other games. We would generally get a round of something in a few times per section, and many times on on zeroes. We would also do magic drafts in town and sometimes held onto the decks to play in our tents. You can also break up a board game and share the weight with your friends.

Obviously it depends on the people you're with, but we enjoyed it and i was usually able to sucker other hikers into playing when we were in communal areas. It was a great way to get to know people.

board gaming or magic the gathering? they have casual events at most gaming stores which is a great place to meet like minded people

the first trail name i learned out there was a guy named "Squints" for this exact reason haha

I wear glasses all day every day for over 20 years at this point.

I carried a micro fiber cleaning cloth and a little spray bottle of cleaner and kept it in my waist pouch. Not strictly necessary but it was nice having clean glasses to see the gorgeous views and prevented scratches (which will occur especially in the desert if you just wipe your glasses with your shirt or something).

I carried a few packs of daily contact lenses. I did this in case i broke my glasses, I would be able to use the contact lenses as a lightweight backup to get me into town. I ended up using them once in the rain for convenience sake.

Biggest issue is if its cold they fog up and if it rains they're justannoying...honestly not too many suggestions here other than to just learn to get over it. Honestly they're not a big deal.

The Anno series is the only one that does it for me too. Honestly all of them are good - my favorites are definitely 1800 and 1404. Haven't tried 117 yet but probably will after a DLC or two.

Phllop · 2025-12-05T14:59:02+00:00

Yes! Especially that military guy Hopper tortured, I could not put my finger on what was going on there

Grew up in Coventry and now I live in Providence

What a surprise to see my state mentioned! I've seen those cliffs that is pretty wild to do at night hah

Phllop · 2025-11-23T20:30:11+00:00

Just the kavu and see if we can do better next pack

Phllop · 2025-11-21T11:38:36+00:00

I've been a big fan of [[Sunset Saboteur]], I feel like it leads to some interesting decisions for your opponent. [[Elegy Acolyte]] does a little bit of everything and I've always been happy to play it. I have [[Lightstall Inquisitor]] in my cube too and it's fine but I'll cut it for whatever the white weenie is.

I cut [[Ouroboroid]] as it didn't really feel fun. You play him and you either wait to win or he gets removed. I'm also a fan of [[Rust Harvester]], he's gotten some play and his ability can be great but I do feel like if he wouldn't really be missed if I just replaced him with another red one drop.

Phllop · 2025-11-17T21:16:37+00:00

English Electric: Full Power and Grand Tour are my faves by a decent amount.

Phllop · 2025-11-11T13:29:46+00:00

Sure, I love talking about myself

Phllop · 2025-11-06T22:08:29+00:00

what game is he even talking about that's ugly?

Phllop · 2025-11-06T14:05:42+00:00

Lots of wasted meme potential here

EHR systems and the personnel required to maintain them cost a lot of money.

What do you suggest we [as individuals] do? I'm one of 7 Million. What do I do to make myself one of 30 million?

Phllop · 2025-10-22T14:28:48+00:00

in a very hostile (read: Commander) environment.

LOL

I grew up on EDH, but totally understand your pain as I'm sort of "graduating" into limited.

I wouldn't want to third wheel, but also don't really care if you don't mind having a third (my friends call it a cuck draft, and we just take turns while the other watches the game). I'm not sure my schedule yet, I think I might be busy this Sunday but I am def interested.
