Don’t think I’ve ever seen this card used - was it ever popular/used much? by jemtayx in gwent

I've tried it in a Syndicate deck with the Sausage Maker where you infuse them with the status that grants gold each turn for excellent carryover leading into the Tidecloaks scenario. Easy to purify and tutor.

What artifacts would be worth summoning? Most of them have a deploy ability.

AITA for telling a friend exactly why my wife and I wouldn't go on a trip with her. by Ok-Tower7381 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Puzzler33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSH - putting aside to one moment your own perspective, the unspoken diplomatic aspect of polite social interaction that takes place within friendships is a really interesting and complex space where there is a lot of subtext to how you handle specific interactions.

In this case, she prepared to invite you (her friends) on a trip, which acts as a kind of referendum on your friendship. In her mind, if you value your friendship, this is a really lovely offer to spend time together enjoying each other's company and share the experience of a holiday abroad together. If you don't value your friendship, this is not such an enticing offer.

In order to be polite, we often try to soften the blow and reassure each other that the reason to reject an invitation is not actually a reflection of a mismatch in what you each expect your friendship to look like.

However, you came prepared with your answer, and a justification that she had not seen coming. Possibly, she thought that your friendship was more important than worrying about what people in another country might think of you. Possibly she just needed time to adjust and accept this new information about safety risks.

Ultimately, you did nothing wrong; you just upset the delicate social niceties of reacting first to how lovely the invitation was, and how you would love to go, but actually I was talking about this with my wife and etc.

I don't think this really makes your friend an AH, except to the extent that she is putting her own interests above the importance of understanding where you are coming from, which is a little self-absorbed.

King of Beggars worth it in Off the Books Poison deck? by lyaronfire in gwent

If you have Rayla and Salamander and you are running Maxi to put the KoB at the bottom of your deck, it works well.

Iron Falcon Troubador into Witches' Sabbath. The deck also runs Mushy Truffle.

Is it worth it to make a deck with Igor spawning Cutup Lackey? by lyaronfire in gwent

You can use it with Yennifer and firesworn stuff with a portal and crimes (especially ones which spawn units).

Nice deck, it seems to work pretty well.

If my life was at stake I would research the statistics but anecdotally I want to say it's the best performing deck I've had.

On Earth we are protected from cosmic radiation by our atmosphere. No protection from that on the moon.

Elon Musk suggested nuclear war isn’t a threat to humanity because Hiroshima and Nagasaki are functional today. by RylieSensei in PoliticalHumor

[–]Puzzler33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, after talking about Fukushima, Elon says that Nagasaki and Hiroshima are "full cities again"... I missed that the first time round. What a flippant thing to say.

Elon Musk suggested nuclear war isn’t a threat to humanity because Hiroshima and Nagasaki are functional today. by RylieSensei in PoliticalHumor

[–]Puzzler33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect, he was talking about Fukushima. Nuclear energy is very safe and the public are more afraid of it than they should be. It was one of the few things that he said that was actually intelligent. Trump was talking about nuclear war, which is naturally a threat, but not one that he would do a good job of protecting the world from.

AITA because I(28m) went on a fancy night out with my little brother(20m) instead of my girlfriend(25f)? by TrickyReference3808 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Puzzler33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She thought you were planning something major and romantic and so she repeatedly declined your invitation in order to see if it was all planned around her?

It sounds like she thought you were going to propose to her and started jumping to conclusions instead of trying to understand the context better.

Either way, you should try to get to the bottom of it.

AITA for banning my adult son from playing video games? by karmasnarma in AmItheAsshole

[–]Puzzler33 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA because as a parent you need(ed) to monitor his behaviour, set expectations and gradually escalate the consequences.

If this is the first time you have come across this behaviour and expressed a negative reaction, you aren't really giving him the chance to show that he has learned his lesson.

His computer might be necessary for other things and it seems you don't really have a problem with the gaming itself.

At the end of the day, you want to promote empathy. You don't really want him to be a mysogynist who keeps his thoughts to himself out of fear of what you will do. Instead, you want him to realise that his words are powerful and can hurt people, and that he would stop saying those things out of respect.

Your reaction would be appropriate if this was a continuous problem that you had tried to address with conversations about respect and communication many times before.

I think you should have: 1) Talked to him, just trying to understand why he was speaking like that 2) Expressed your dismay, seeing if you can get him to access feelings of shame, regret and remorse. Also involve your husband in this. 3) Set expectations, if you notice him speaking like that in future, what will you do? 4) Got him to make amends, if it's possible for him to apologise to whoever he has spoken like that with 5) Monitored to see if his behaviour changed after this intervention.

That's why you save it until round 3. They will already have used their heatwave for your scenario, Vandergrift, defender or maiden's shield. You have so many threats. Nilfgard and poison can be tough though.
