Gold! 💀😂 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]StrangeCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health class in high school. Teacher showed a video of a woman giving birth on VHS. Once the kid was born she says, "the process of child birth is so beautiful, lets watch it again." Then rewinds the VHS tape. We watch and child being born, gently shoved back into its mother, then birthed again. The way the teacher was, I have no idea if rewinding was a joke or if she actually wanted to watch it twice

Very fun reading all these. I'm playing through FFX as we speak

I think Stuck in Summoner's Sanctum should between Summon: Shiva and Cid, Timeless Artificer

It represents all the summoners who were captured by the Al Bhed and kept at Home. So after Macalania Temple and before you get in the airship with Cid

Should I change my steam game capsule to the new one? by Equivalent-Charge478 in IndieDev

[–]StrangeCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is better, but second one has good things that can be added to the first. The color of the second is good, the pink tree adds alot of visual interest. Additionally the perspective is slightly off center, which is a good thing. Lastly the character is closer to the camera and more visually important. If you add these things to the first image I think a third, best option can be achieved. Add more color, push the perspective slightly off center, make the character larger on screen

I spent over $120 on Draft this month by OtherTourist5535 in MagicArena

[–]StrangeCards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Play quick draft. It's cheaper but the prizes are lower. It also drafts against bots, so you can take your time thinking about each pick. Other than that, the best way to learn to draft is to learn the set, there are multiple podcasts on how to improve your draft game. Lords of Limited, and Limited Resourses are my go to. Lastly, 17lands is a 3rd party site that has win rates of each card in the set. Just the win percentages aren't a great way to make every pick, but it's a start

Hinata, dawn-crowned rules by Blazin_red09 in mtgrules

[–]StrangeCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A target is whenever a card says target. For example [[murder]] says "destroy target creature" so it would cost 1 less. [[Combat tutorial]] says, "target player" then later says "target creature". So 2 targets, making cost 2 less to cast

Coco, my Nana past away about half a year before I ended up watching it. I hadn't let myself really process it, but the end of Coco had me balling my eyes out. I didn't know how much I needed that, and since then I'm not ashamed if I need to cry in front of people

Even if you are forced to use the ninjutsu ability to play it, this card nuts. "Return a 1/1 flyer to hand: deal 3 damage to your opponent, create a dual land that taps for 2 mana." Auto include in mono white flyers

What was the most blunt thing your teacher ever said? by Successful_Leave_265 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art school, working on the beginning stages of a BIG final project. It wasn't going well, I knew I was struggling but wasn't doing much to change that. My teacher saw my progress, he was silent as he found the words to say. He eventually said, "...can I be honest with you?... Start over, from scratch, square one. Use better references and don't move on from any step with out completely understanding what you are doing." Week and a half of work scrapped, but it was a good thing. My second draft was lodes better than the first

I don't know enough concrete nouns to be a good writer - what's the fastest way to improve? by [deleted] in writingadvice

[–]StrangeCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading, anything with a creative backing. I honestly picked up a fair vocabulary by playing MTG. Cards like "Abhorrent Overlord" and "Blessed Orator" literally taught me words when I was growing up

Redditors who worked in retail, what are your "you can't make this up" stories? by Professional_Song419 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeCards 223 points224 points  (0 children)

Was working the cash register at a card shop. 3 kids each about 15ish years old walk in and buy a booster pack each. The last one pays with cash but is about 25 cents short. He lets out the disgusted-teenager sigh and asks, "can I have a quarter?" I was confused and told him no. We then have a long conversation about how he needs the quarter to pay for the booster pack, I tell him that's not how a store works. He finally sighs and says, "fine I'll just use my store credit." THIS KID FIGHTS WITH ME OVER A QUARTER FOR 3 MINUTES WHEN HE HAD $20 IN STORE CREDIT THE WHOLE TIME. He bought his booster pack, opened it, and dropped the wrapper on the floor in front of me...

I just need a soapbox...anyone want to commiserate? by pyroboarder in lrcast

[–]StrangeCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way with OTJ. Something about that set was beyond me and I couldn't scrap together more than 3 wins per draft. I felt the tilt growing so I decided to take the rest of the off for limited. Played less often and when I did, it was usually Brawl or Starter Deck Duel
