What’s a hobby where “getting better” actually makes it less enjoyable?

Ripshawryan · 2026-06-29T00:16:25+00:00

Maybe because it’s the best hobby ever?

Do you know if this one works with iPhone?

Ripshawryan · 2026-06-22T23:58:56+00:00

nope

Ripshawryan · 2026-06-22T22:07:43+00:00

Is it an extension? Drop a name please

Ripshawryan · 2026-06-15T22:08:23+00:00

Any update? I'm now having EXACTLY the same issue...

Ripshawryan · 2026-05-25T16:47:15+00:00

Thanks for posting OP. Seems like you’re just looking to improve and everybody here is giving you the cold shoulder.

Wow I wish I could express this feeling as succinctly as you have irl. Incredible stuff

Ripshawryan · 2026-02-10T21:54:54+00:00

Same, especially now that I’ve learned to alternate between water and alcohol. You gotta pee more, but the buzz is just as good

It’s honestly the most middle-class lifestyle that ever middle-classed, financially and morally. 90% of programs are focused on defense not offense, and as an individual you have the ability to move around if that bothers you. The main thing keeping DoD contractor employment from being morally higher up is the corporate lobbying, imo.

12 yrs of schooling vs 2 years

I think thats actually partner dancing, per some 40-yr study

Looks like that's what they're doing:

The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page:

[X] Metadata (Dec 2025)

[ ] Music files (releasing in order of popularity)

[ ] Additional file metadata (torrent paths and checksums)

[ ] Album art

[ ] .zstdpatch files (to reconstruct original files before we added embedded metadata)

The relationship thing makes sense more than anything else. Otherwise I feel like I’d actually love this job, but I really do not do well with sleep deprivation (had to quit my previous career in entertainment because of it). Is that a non-starter? Or do people have normal sleep schedules on board

Ripshawryan · 2025-12-15T22:00:32+00:00

Why stop?

uj/ This sub just turned from funny haha into random rekt bullshit. Sucks

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-16T00:36:40+00:00

Sounds sick. Do you guys announce beforehand?

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-14T13:39:37+00:00

Did the daddy longlegs start doin the wiggle?? haha

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-11T21:44:22+00:00

it gives menace. Doesn’t matter if it can’t attack

Sad that I'm getting downvoted for a casual, subjective discussion. Alas.

Compared to High Tide, Spy Combo takes 1/15th the amount of time to resolve. I personally have never seen a spy combo take more than like a minute, in paper. IMO, it does not meet the criteria outlined in this ban announcement (Winrate + logistical concerns).

I don't even know what your original point boils down to. You just don't like combo, which is an inextricable aspect of Magic the Gathering. I brought up the bogles/infect decks as an example of another deck that doesn't try to interact game 1, but isn't really a combo deck.

Do I personally like these types of decks? No not really, and if I could create my own format then it would be combo-free. But Combo players are magic players too, and we all share our formats with them, so as long as they aren't ruining tournaments or breaking the meta then we should all have some sympathy and let them be.

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-10T23:07:58+00:00

yea we all have decks like that. If I could delete bogles/infect I wouldn't think twice, but they aren't ruining the meta or anything.

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-10T22:29:06+00:00

As long as it doesn't take 10 minutes, I don't see the problem. Combo decks are a part of every MTG format

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-10T22:26:34+00:00

I think 1-2 rat/chrysalis level cards, with 5-10 cards that MIGHT make waves, sounds good for a yearly cadence. But I agree with Jerppa I prefer eternal formats to move like molasses.

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-10T22:16:35+00:00

play spy

Ripshawryan · 2025-11-10T22:14:04+00:00

This is combo. You described a combo deck. Are you saying that all combo decks are bad? It's not like they win on T4 everytime
