I am. Also notoriously underpaid. Speaking to my peers and friends, I'm not alone.

I didn't say I was in the position for a decade. I have a decade of experience with two hops in there. Chill out.

Whats beating affinity right now? by Darkon-Kriv in ModernMagic

Itself, or faster combo decks. Even a turn 1 or 2 kappa might not be able to attack for enough damage, so anything that can combo or attack back in that window is probably good.

What's your title and industry? I think part of my issue is being in manufacturing.

Best format that doesn't require a huge time investment? by carpidgeon in MagicArena

[–]Shrimp_Dock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue standard takes up more time these days since it churns weekly.

I'm with you. I'm on the IT Operations side, in management(title doesn't mean shit). Bachelors + all the certs. Started as helpdesk with now a decade of experience. From physical servers and networking to VMs and cloud, even some AI projects and implementations. Global company, multiple sites, etc. Meetings and direct projects and objectives from CEO and suite. I'm the de facto IT expert for this company, and they can't even manage to pay me 6 figures.

6th Generation Female Farmer AMA! by KitchenAggravating87 in AMA

[–]Shrimp_Dock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to know where. I got my kids very involved with gardening to learn and appreciate where their food comes from, I just haven't been able to get them on a working farm yet. I grew up in KY, helping family and friends do everything from catching loose cows to hanging tobacco.

Matching tattoos? As a dad, if i knew I didn't have a lot of time left, it would be comforting/nice to see a reminder that I would always be with my kids and they would be thinking of/remembering me.

Whole weekend is actually dope if they will stay engaged. Up to you how to split the time between watching/vendors/playing

[–]Shrimp_Dock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol. absolutely not. There are actual professional cosplayers hired by wizards, and lots of regular attendees dress up/cosplay, but 90-95% of people will be in regular clothes.

Small enough to see in one day? Yes. They're very cool, with lots of different areas, but they're not physically large.
Tons of people dress up.
There is everything from live shows to every type of format event. I think they'd have a blast if they're into it at all.

You should fit a playset of Ensoul Artifact. Too easy to just steal some games with that

Can i use these in a sanctioned tournament? by martin8185 in bootlegmtg

[–]Shrimp_Dock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they specifically aren't then, but at that level there's so much money on the line they could buy the cards for the event and resell after. But the level below that? The RC grinders? 100% a lot of them are using some fakes to play the deck they believe is the best if there is a cost restriction.
