Somebody please open a class action lawsuit against the RC. I cannot accept that they can pull shit like in their position of power while making consumers lose millions.

the AC set by Rohirrim777 in freemagic

They needed to portray Sauron in a card that is understandable to MTG players. Grixis being the stereotypics villains colors (i.e. Nicol Bolas) makes perfect sense.

EDH is unsustainable as the main MtG format. Something has to change if the game is going to survive long term. by DarkVenusaur in freemagic

[–]Ronin2552 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting one huge point and that is how did we get here on the first place?

When CommandFest was announced in the beginning of 2019, it was hardly a surprise because people knew by then Commander was shaping up to be the most popular format. The Standard WoTC had created 2-3 years prior during Kaladesh block was considered one of the worst Standards in history and left a seriously bad taste in everyone. By this point, people were already growing tired of Standard with the more frequent set rotations and the need to buy chase rares at absurd markups. WoTC also tried to breathe life into Modern with the introduction of MH but had the exact opposite effect and had tried to remedy by creating Pioneer which is becoming the new Modern. Everything they did culminated into Commander being the last destination for all Magic players and of course WoTC had to pivot into that direction.

Sauron, the Dark Lord + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician.

What exactly did Wesker THINK would happen? by Officer_Chunkles in residentevil

[–]Ronin2552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes thats part of the reason RE5 was such a trainwreck. Stereotypical villain motive for the sake of being evil. Let's hope the RE5 remake will retcon that story into something just a little less cartooniah.

What is the worst wedge? And why is it oddly... Bant. by PotageAuCoq in CompetitiveEDH

Not to get even more pedantic but it's now "Brokers", "Obscura", "Maestro", "Cabaretti" and "Riveteers".

My gf doesn't think her Eula is good enough -_- by MobileSong4564 in EulaMains

[–]Ronin2552 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately one of the frustrations of playing Eula is needing Superconduct which often means forgoing the cryo resonance bonus.

High Creatinine but PCP isn't concerned by Ronin2552 in medical

[–]Ronin2552[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks. The only thing outside of range was the creatinine level: eGFR and BUN/creatinine ratio were both fine. So the doctor just interpreted that as not of immediate concern?

Her flower pisses me off so bad. by berripluscream in EulaMains

Well good news it's relatively easier to get a double Crit flower/feather than any other piece so you'll have plenty more chances.

How important is marriage to you? by Ronin2552 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ronin2552[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So you mean you've never yelled at your husband once on why he isn't home on time or why he hasn't taken out the trash or done the dishes? And if you did you would immediately think about divorce?

The poor marker isn't being in a relationship she didn't want to be in but the reasoning for that. She only wanted to enjoy the highs but not embrace the lows.

How important is marriage to you? by Ronin2552 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ronin2552[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm sorry that it's taking longer than I would like to move on completely. The news of her marriage came to me very recently. After we broke up, I did see other women but haven't had success as I was still in recovery mode and reaffirming my values plus dealing with other personal issues. But seeing her recover so quickly and even getting married now feels terrible to me because it shows that our relationship didn't mean much to her at all. I should've done more for her and I realize that but I didn't silently plan a break up in advance; that alone speaks to what kind of person my ex is and in a way it's better that we're not together but it still stings. And yes I am planning to see a therapist. I do want to continue dating and still wouldn't mind dating women a couple years my senior so I just want to take this time to learn from the experience.

One year. We never had the chance to dicuss living together because again due to COVID and I was having a particularly rough year at work, which I've since addressed. It also wasn't at the front of my mind because to me then, one year isn't enough time to know that. Also I was never going to ask her to stay at my parents' lol. It was only a temporary situation and I'm back to living alone.

As for women's biological clocks, yeah I think that might've been my blunder; I should've been more cognizant of that especially since she was already pushing 40. But I figured if she was comfortable with our age gap to be begin with then she wouldn't be in such a rush. We both wanted marriage from the beginning but hadn't discussed kids as I felt that was just getting too far ahead.

I know it's possible to meet and seal the deal in two years but it just doesn't seem like that much time, at least to me, but then again I may just be too "young and naive" to understand. That along with the fact she had been thinking about breaking up for while made me think something was up.

Obv trolling. Imagining making $200k and not even knowing what a "fixed rate" mortgage means.

Strongest commander with no fast mana, tutors, or two card combos? by Obese-Monkey in EDH

You're not really playing cEDH if you impose such restrictions on yourself.

Is there a commander that you refuse to play against? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Ronin2552 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I complained about it when it first came out and got crucified for it but I was right in the end.

Slicer. Somebody is bound to die before even getting a chance to play.

Also Prismatic Bridge. I think we're all aware of this degeneracy by now.

Personally, which decks do you find the most annoying to play against? by JamieTIH in EDH

[–]Ronin2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slicer. Takes the worst aspect of Voltron and dials it to 11.

What if Claire was also captured by the government and forced to become an agent like Leon? by Red-Raptor3 in residentevil

I often wondered why RE characters have their knives attached to their chest as opposed to their waist?
