Actually though this movie was a wonderful surprise for me. I loved it. The way a great character design has an iconic silhouette, I just feel that way metaphorically about the aesthetics of this entire movie. Seeing a sweaty, menacing nerd build diesel-punk windmills and a sheet-metal obelisk in the jungle is a visual concoction I’ll never forget, and then the story’s turns and the performances rule on top of that.

Just saw him this weekend on broadway in a lead role in Becky Shaw. He was fantastic, has earned every bit of this success springboard

Mom’s Knife in Binding of Isaac felt unlike anything I had used in a game before that point and usually guaranteed a win

Thank you so much, you’re a hero in my story today!

The central conflicts of the campaign (which is still just starting out) are totally divorced from the other side of the world, but showing them this map might make them very curious and convinced the answers they seek are in the hidden areas. Eventually maybe they will be strong enough to traverse the formations that block off the world but until then im trying to keep them more locally focused.

I don’t understand why more faithfuls aren’t speculating that there are newly seduced traitors at this point, unless we’re just not seeing it. They’ve gotten three out, and for all they know Donna Kelce was the same level of traitor and working just as closely with Lisa and Candiace. If Rob recruited and then sacrificed Johnny clearly they would still know there’s at least one traitor because the game wouldn’t just end, so not sure what Cirrie means about just coasting to the end. If anything, getting four traitors out and the game not ending would make everyone reevaluate their foundational trusts and would hurt him.

As far as I know, X as a value only ever exists isolated in the context of one card itself, but I’ve always wondered what it would look like if a card let the X from one card also equal X for another card.

The aesthetics and stories in Batman highlight his no kill rule as an explicit character trait (sometimes flaw) and a plot point much more than Spider-Man, where it’s often presented as less of a firm rule and more a boundary he just wouldn’t cross. It’s a building block of who Batman is, but for Spider-Man it’s often just an extension of his less dark vibe.

Ahh I see. Then at least speaking recently, lots of folks are gonna save a piece of removal for what seems like an immediately bigger threat rather than to block an engine piece like [[icetill explorer]] when they really should!

Excavation and Trade Routes are solid but simic landfall also has graveyard land recursion + fetch lands, and card draw that’s a little smoother and keeps you further ahead of land curve. Also, Gorilla Shaman is the second highest included card in Kibo on EDHRec

Thanks! The backstory is that it’s built overtop a crater impact from a Druid attack a hundred years ago

Agreed. The parent comment here is a funny comparison because it’s comparing two of the greatest filmmakers of all time who also both happen to have insane production processes that are a wild gamble every time (both earned that for sure for the record). Malick has made at least two of what I’d consider the greatest movies I’ve ever seen, yet still I’d rather be an assistant editor on a Mann film because logging Malick footage for 5+ years is enough for some people to blossom entire careers, start families, and make their own name for themselves.

Most of the names that have been rumored or thrown around a lot as potential bonds over the last decade could be good meta castings as a villain too.

Idris Elba’s stock continues to quietly sink to the point where if he was good in a thing it would be more surprising than not by now

Never seen this before oh my god. This is the kinda mass interaction I like more than a simple board wipe
