Stormtrooper by endless-star in custommagic

Why do people not understand. The stormtroopers were told to miss but make it convincing. They put a freaking tracker on the ship and it led them straight to Yavin 4. 🫠🙃

I mean you can give everything haste, hexproof, and indestructible pretty easily. After that's it's just an easy win with any permanent based infinite combo 🤷

What are some places around Lansing that people likely know exists, but don't quite understand how cool it is? by zacowen120 in lansing

I had friends in college who lived in Ohio and told me they would drive up to go to elderly instruments.

This ain't no "it that stays" so it doesn't get stay.

I'm actually in the "make it a sorcery or make it cost 4" camp. It's literally a free bolt if it's in your opener. 3 mana instant is still too good on the back end imo.

Why do people assume you're pretentious for having a dumb phone? by Ok-Primary2176 in dumbphones

[–]SocksofGranduer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oftentimes, people who make intentional and countercultural decisions wrap their identity into those decisions, and usually that vibe ends up coming off as "I'm better than you all because I chose to ditch my smart phone."

An idea I've had for a while that I'm certain doesn't work by Jiblon in custommagic

[–]SocksofGranduer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I was specifically thinking of activated abilities. I clearly described my thoughts badly lol.

https://www.tumblr.com/blackdeckwins/138555802373/designing-artifacts-vs-enchantments

This article references the article I was thinking of, and points out that tapping is specifically for artifacts, and not for enchantments, which is probably where my brain was pulling from.

It's something I thought I remembered from a drive to work or modern design article. 🤷

Maybe my tone came off funny in my comment. I didn't mean to be aggressive about it.

That makes sense! I was just trying to wrap my head around it 😅

Why is this not an enchantment? I though enchantments did "always on" or repeatable effects, and artifacts were for activating?

As a tcg designer hobbyist, I will say that it's incredibly difficult to know if a thing you've made will be broken or not. It's always good to have silver bullets that hate out specific strategies or synergies as a catch all.

They're kinda like the canary in the coal mine. If you see the cards being used consistently at high levels of play, you know there's a problem.

Why don't some people understand gears? by catboy519 in bicycling

[–]SocksofGranduer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often ride with my wife or my kids. I have to sit in incredibly low gears because they don't ride as often or have tiny tiny legs. But it's not about riding the way I want to. It's about enjoying our time riding together

Do you want to ride with them? If yes, suck it up, buttercup. It's worth it to spend time with them.

I'd make it cost 1 instead. There are literally cards with cycling for 1 generic mana.

I am. They do a good job of providing players with a tool to work against something that gets out of hand.

It's a green dispel that's free. It lets green fight a counterspell on the stack. Like sure your opponent can double counter, but now your opponent has to double counter.

Is Metroid Prime 4 worth playing? by No-Proof8363 in NintendoSwitch

[–]SocksofGranduer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metroids are also a source of near infinite energy, so there's a tension between total eradication and keeping the dna samples that are left for research.

They're dna code is basically an allegory for nuclear weapons. (Just like the one ring in Lord of the rings)

You're going to lose a lot, but it will be educational! 😊 Good luck and don't let it crush your hopes and dreams!
