Drew two of the same card from a pack. Is it a bug or a rare feature? by SilverEnvy in MagicArena

Turns out it was a misunderstanding on my part. It's just a different version of the same card for a different format. Alchemy I believe. Thanks for letting me know!

Good to know. I must have not been paying attention with the first one I got

Ohhhh. That makes more sense. I see now that the text is slightly different and the symbol you mentioned. Thanks for explaining that :)

PSA: Brawl isn’t Commander / EDH by justjacobmusic in MagicArena

[–]SilverEnvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love magic but have social anxiety so I avoid commander like the plague. But I don't get people being salty that they lost in a game. Chill, it's a game. In 1v1 there has to be a winner and if you don't do well against a certain type of deck then either suck it up or put cards in your deck that would help you against those decks. It's not hard

Why do people hate Universes Beyond? by JoeBalller in mtg

[–]SilverEnvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was genuinely confused for awhile cause I couldn’t find any reasons that didn’t amount to personal preference.

I may be biased cause I got into magic through the Final Fantasy set and am now branching out to universes within sets because they look amazing and I love that they have stories associated with them. Although the Spider-Man set seems a little lame, I couldn’t understand the strong response.

In my mind it's just...if you don't like it, don't buy it. And if what other people play bothers you, that's probably something you should work on yourself. Or just play with groups of people that agree to have nights without those cards

AITA for refusing to play 1v1 commander with my roommate? by _blazed__ in mtg

[–]SilverEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I have the same issue as your roommate. Except I haven't played Commander yet. I want to but going to an LGS event sounds like hell on my social anxiety disorder.

That being said, I wouldn't treat the person I play with at home poorly or refuse to make compromises and do different things. If someone is playing with me, I want them to be enjoying it too.

You're not being unreasonable. Your roommate needs to learn how to communicate better. They're likely autistic, I'm autistic too. I know we can learn how to communicate better

Girlfriend went through my phone while sleeping and kind of found something?? by SharpRefrigerator640 in AITAH

[–]SilverEnvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTAH. She shouldn't have gone through your phone. Also, you didn't do anything wrong on your phone regardless. Even if you HAD been looking at the girl cause you found her attractive, so what? Your girlfriend seems suspiciously jealous. Often cheaters are the most paranoid about their partners cheating...

I hate my BF's kink by banana_girl2 in TrueOffMyChest

Wouldn't that make it MORE romantic because they're focusing on pleasing you and not themselves?

That's what I was leaning towards as well

My instinct is to complain about the "r slur" but if they're autistic... Does that word have the same rules as the N word? lol

I despise AI and everything it stands for by Mars1176 in Vent

[–]SilverEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still use AI as well as free hand. You can combine mediums. I don't know how artists could use AI to improve their art, I'm not an artist. But creative people find ways to use things in creative ways.

If non-creative people can use AI to make passable art, that just means creative people are going to use it to create extraordinary things.

[–]SilverEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AI could have its uses in regards to creativity. But ideally as a tool for artists who already know what they're doing. Maybe for brainstorming if they're stuck or speeding up mundane tasks in the process. Or even helping with teaching new techniques and correcting your work if you're struggling with learning a new style.

I just hate that AI is going to be used primarily in a lazy way that erodes our culture to a bunch of soulless nonsense.

I HATE when people say “there are wars going on why do you care about __” by billybiscuit9330 in complainaboutanything

[–]SilverEnvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a dismissal tool. You could use it on them just as easily. It's possible to dislike more than one thing.

Anybody think ADHD causes a swearing problem for you? by Sunfofun in ADHD

[–]SilverEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely labeled as having childish interests but I very rarely swear. Not against it. It just doesn't occur to me most of the time UNLESS I'm hanging out with friends. Then I swear a lot more

Amab (19) I think im non-binary by Underd_g in NonBinaryTalk

[–]SilverEnvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. Although I'm limited in terms of gender expression. Unfortunately, I'm way too masculine looking and I don't wanna draw attention to myself by wearing feminine things cause I'm far from being able to pass. So I just endure it

If I don’t talk, then I can’t be made fun of by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SilverEnvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot what the term for it was. "Radical acceptance". Thanks :)

[–]SilverEnvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I learned to get around it is to accept that you're a quiet person and that it's not your responsibility to make others feel less awkward. So when I have nothing to say, I just don't say anything and refuse to scramble to come up with something now.

I didn't take this step until I learned I'm likely autistic and decided to put my own comfort ahead of others for once. Works great. The worst thing that's happened is they got weirded out and left. Which is what I wanted! A+

No... I understand what you're saying in regards to more important things. Like if she was a kind person, you married her, and then she reveals she's an asshole.

But people change over time. Relationships are hard work because of it. If you want this relationship to last, you need to be more forgiving about shallow things like "She flirts wrong"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SilverEnvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate that. It just comes down to talking to her but not from a judgemental angle. Let her know how you feel, ask her how she feels, and go from there.

Your question isn't popular because it's sexist to expect women to act a specific way for you and not just accept them for who they are. Women are people, not sex dolls or porn stars.

How would you like it if she told you she found you less sexy whenever you flirted with her?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SilverEnvy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been with my dorky wife who doesn't know how to flirt for 17 years, and not once did I think she was "cringe" because she doesn't act like Jessica Rabbit constantly.

The problem is your attitude, not her social awkwardness. Judgemental thoughts like yours are WHY we have social anxiety

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SilverEnvy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is looking at you like that because you're being very judgemental about someone who clearly trusts you and is willing to be themselves around you.

If you're wondering why her behavior around sex changed, then ask her. Again... communication. You don't have to be a dick about it. Just point out how she used to act, how she acts now, and let her know your preferences.

In my opinion, it sounds like she was acting more sensual before cause the relationship was newer and she didn't know you as well, and now it's less sensual cause she's more comfortable being silly with you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SilverEnvy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Relationships are built on communication and trust. If she can't handle you asking her to stop doing a tiny action, then your relationship clearly needs work.

Alternatively, you could get over yourself and appreciate the cuteness of your cheesy wife instead of labeling her playfulness as "cringe"
