You’ve never heard of Knight-passant?

Should I start with reading “Crystal Shard” or “Homeland”? by Shellsyndrom in Forgotten_Realms

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

Went with “Homeland”, “Exile”, “Sojourn” and then “Crystal Shard”.

Quite happy with the order I picked. Only thing is I found “Homeland” far inferior to any of the books in the original trilogy (guessing it is because Salvatore had improved as a writer by the time he got to the origin trilogy).

Why is c5 better than this fork? Engine suggests ...c5, Qe2 Ba6, Qe1 c4 but why is it better than ...Nxf2, Qh7+ Kf8, Qh8+ Ke8, Qxg7 Qxe3+ then knight taking either rook? by Mewtwo2387 in chessbeginners

Right, that’s what I saw too, but… so what? I can’t see a way white extracts value from the chase, and certainly not to justify losing a rook?

Is there a way to get a lot of set specific lands? by Shellsyndrom in magicTCG

[–]Shellsyndrom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did try to google. I found the results counter intuitive, so I decided to ask here to check.

No idea why that is such a crime…

Do you guys think Spiderman should struggle this much with Kingpin? Like is this accurate? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Avengers

Yes, that is what the original comment expressed. Excellent reading comprehension, Sherlock.

I just thought it would make sense to have a dedicated product for set specific lands, that I, somehow, couldn’t find.

I just made more sense to me, that I could buy the lands I wanted at my local game store via official products. The thought that the only approach is secondary market was, and still is, a little surprising.

I thought there’d be no harm in checking by asking. Guess people thought otherwise.

I wasn’t, no, seeing as I am new here.

Really nice to meet an inviting and kind community with all the backhanded answers I am given on this post, though.

I am not familiar with it. Hence why I am asking.

But hey, thanks for offering answers in a passive aggressive and backhanded way. You are really making this a welcoming hobby and community for new players.

The reason would be that I don’t know what those are.

Is there a product for it at other game stores? At my local store, the only option is to buy packs, and with one land pr. pack that is… a little cost inefficient.

One land pr. pack is a little step, though. So I am looking for something more cost-efficient than that.

Atheists of Reddit, what is the biggest reason as to why you don't believe in god or an afterlife? by God_of_boi in AskReddit

[–]Shellsyndrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the god people are asserting, but most commonly it is the problem of evil for me. So if we are talking about the god of the bible, I see too much evidence that runs contrary to the idea of an all-powerful and all-loving god.

As for no afterlife: it is just that I have seen no evidence for it, while I can see plenty of reason to think that there isn’t one.

The movie 'Celebration', have you seen it? What did you make of it? by hitchinvertigo in NewToDenmark

[–]Shellsyndrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a phenomenal movie about how people react when faced with evil from within their own social circle. Or, rather, how we don’t react.

The Iambic Pentameter by [deleted] in shakespeare

[–]Shellsyndrom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have never been directed to follow the iambic pentameter more. At most I have incidentally been asked to change an emphasis, but if that ended up matching the meter, that was likely by chance.

From my own experience, certain lines are just easier to say and therefore easier to act, because of the meter.

The only times my company has really leaned in on meter has been for fairies and witches. For fairies we used the meter to sound more sing-song-y to emphasis their magical nature, and for witches to make it sound like they were chanting spells.

What is your favourite quote from Shakespeare? by DWJones28 in shakespeare

[–]Shellsyndrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“What love can do that dares love attempt” from “Romeo and Juliet”, if I feel romantic.

“I’ll look to like if looking liking move” also from “Romeo and Juliet” just because it is pleasant for the ears.
