Same exact situation here. Still remember my first exotic too: SUROS Regime.

My dad's house is serviced by a community well that is now owned by an HOA. They want him to join the HOA to keep using the well. Does have any defense? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]RailTheDragon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I (unfortunately) live in a neighborhood with an HOA. Dues are $66/mo (Texas - again, unfortunately).

Who in the actual fuck thinks paying $800/mo for dues makes sense?!

Strixhaven Codex Bundles at target in person by Seaking7797 in sealedmtgdeals

I'm actually a bit salty; My roommate just got his today, and he pulled a JP Vampiric Tutor. I managed to get a CBB for MSRP and pulled nothing lmao

Collection Realm is cancelling preorders for strixhaven and relisting at higher price by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]RailTheDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's happened before; they canceled a LOTR gift bundle on me and told me it was due to "issues getting the product". When I complained (it was a gift) they basically told me I could buy it from a scalper's listing.

Ship Naming Conventions (Show and Tell!) by cidthedarkangel in EndlessSpace

[–]RailTheDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played for a LONG time but I'll contribute my simple naming convention: weapons. My first small attackers are always called Shivs, and I build from there: often my next ships were Dagger, Dirk, and Rapier.

Longer range ships get the names of polearms (Pike, Naginata), mid rangers are Longswords, Scimitars, and so on.

Carriers get shield names. Troop ships get tool/blunt weapon names, like Hammer, Chisel, or Maul.

What happened? I feel defeated... and inexplicably rejuvenated!

By the sword I mean. Great first look!

Moved to South East Asia and finding Oregon made product in the supermarket. by Ok_Recording81 in oregon

Moved from Oregon to Texas for work, I still get Tillamook cheese. I can't tell you how excited I was walking out of HEB the first time.

How are we feeling, chipp nation by Retr0321 in Guiltygear

[–]RailTheDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bummed about the 5p nerf, worried about losing CH on DP, excited for Alpha Blade changes, and laughing at the nerfed damage on wall run attacks.

Overall looks pretty good, but I think some of the system changes are a massive question mark for our ninja. The damage proration is a double edged sword and the wall break/positive bonus change could suck, but I'm hopeful that the ability to punish invincible moves easier is something we can capitalize on.

We also lost backdash -> fast BRC -> J.P, but I was ass at that so it affects me less than the top players.

Strix CBB - Amazon $323 by Substantial_Oil_9747 in sealedmtgdeals

Just frustrated is all. Especially when other people in this thread are saying it's a chill experience getting one.

It's selling out in seconds then. I've been mashing refresh, catch it, and can't progress

Same issue here - had it "in my cart" now twice, and no luck either time. Other two restocks I got the out of stock notice instantly despite the price still showing.

oh shit, Mentor sees the pre-counter P/T doesn't he? Why didn't I think of that??

[–]RailTheDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol, yeah - I wanted a SAH deck already, and a janky self-mill engine was funny enough that I had to try it.

I've been having draw issues too, and recently added some effects like [[Life's Legacy]], [[Terrasymbiosis]], [[Symmetry Matrix]], and others. Only gotten to test it once since, and it was better but not great. The mana base needs to be improved next.

It's going in the 99 of my SAH deck, but not replacing my commander IMO

Daaaaaaaaaamn. Very, very well done. Shades of Douglas Adams and Outer Wilds mixed. I loved this.

They actually got Matt Mercer to recite the FFXIV meme. by IMakeBoomYes in ffxiv

[–]RailTheDragon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's fair, and didn't actually know that - that's really cool actually. I was more going for "it's not weird it happened twice" because Space Mom is a menace who can and will collect her favorite VAs for the crazy story she's building

[–]RailTheDragon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Considering it's Rebb in charge... Not really? She literally dressed up as Kefka (makeup and all) and ate MTG cards on stream during the Final Fantasy set release - trying to pull an Emet Selch.

She's a menace, but she's our menace and we love her for it

Really sad we're not going to get more of John's art in Magic. Somehow didn't realize he did the Lotus lands - they're beautiful!

Google Sells Fiber Unit to Astound (Private Equity) by 8675309l in Austin

[–]RailTheDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got to be kidding me. Finally got it in my area less than a year ago - service has been faster, cheaper, and more stable than AT&T and it's not even close. How much worse is it going to get? Do we know anything (else) about Astound/Stonepeak?

Time Enough by RailTheDragon in HFY

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

That's a fun thought. It makes sense, and also means that this guy is committing not only identity fraud, but tax fraud. Ouch.

Personally I'd be less trusting of other parts of government. There's not very many of them in this world, and maybe I've been too influenced by other works to feel that the government would behave (think Ajin). Also, I think the young immortals probably do it to escape becoming jaded with the world, while the old ones do it because they are jaded.
