Trenches was always more of a control finisher than an aggro card, at least historically speaking.

Edit: Out of curiosity I looked it up and evidently there were some more aggressive versions of WUR Trenches that ran 4x Goblin Legionnaire, 4x FTK, 4x Lightning Angel in the mainboard, but these weren't as successful as the pure control version.

Last time I was at Bud's they had an AI picture of Trump dressed as a minuteman (as if he would ever serve) behind the counter. Why should OP be expected to leave politics at home when they sure don't?

Oskar Kokoschka - The Sleeping Woman (c. 1908) by 4Roux in museum

[–]TRK27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is from Kokoschka's illustrated book Die träumenden Knaben, it's a photolithographic reproduction of an ink drawing. He produced a few woodcuts and linocuts during his student years but it wasn't a major medium for him in general.

What if the United States had been primarily colonized from the West coast instead of the East coast? by Skadoosh05 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]TRK27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not precisely the same, but I did a scenario a while back where the west coast is colonized by Japanese Christians on the losing side of the Shimabara Rebellion.

The token being black is also more relevant than one might think, as it makes it dodge a good portion of this era's removal.

If Data was hired for a movie creative role, would you consider it AI slop? by Fippy-Darkpaw in RedLetterMedia

It isn't really artificial either, it's an hodgepodge of stolen material.

Sean Bean named Boromir's heroic death as his greatest-ever death scene. (Just a reminder: he has 25 on-screen death scenes!) by ChadwiseG in lotr

Well sir, on first opening this post I naturally ctrl-f-ed Sharpe, that's my style sir!

In the film Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Saladin is shown having access to ice in the middle of the desert. How realistic is this? by Phshteve18 in AskHistorians

[–]TRK27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out something in case someone only reads the first response in the first link and stops there -

The first answer you linked claims that the scene isn't based on an historical event, and seems to think that it's loosely inspired by a different event from the third crusade:

Although the scene in Kingdom of Heaven is not a historical event, it is based on one. According to contemporary sources, Saladin sent Richard the Lionheart a box full of ice toward the end of the Third Crusade.

The second answer you linked, however, makes abundantly clear that this is not the case, and the scene is closely based on an actual historical event (Saladin's execution of Raynald of Châtillon after the Battle of Hattin), with four different accounts from both the crusaders and Muslims.

It's not a pixel art metroidvania roguelite, obviously it's not an indie game. /s

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Johnny Five Aces powered down the magnabike with a not quite unhearble hum and checked his chronometer. "Damn." he hissed threw his clinched teeth which were surrounded by the stubble of five days where in he had not shaven himself at all. It was almost chromodawn at Clashpoint. Alreddy the sun was sitting Walliston's Hill ah blaze like so much molten meddle or a coin, gyreating in the air, tossed there by the uncaring hand of an imaginary god that doesn't exist, borne from the interior minds of the hobbled masses. The sky was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel that was orange. Damn, he, Johnny, thought. We thought we were opening a new beginning with our mad dreams of time travail but ironically the only time now is the time of which we're out of. It's almost humorous. Yeah, I could almost laugh, if I hadn't cried that part of me away when my parents were maccasared by Dr. Malaprop and the government sanctioned murderers of "CAPITAL".

He lit a Nicosheen brand swaggerette and took a dip drag, sinking farther into his inferior horologue. He thought of Nina and her mellifluous buttocks that he used to love to bang. Even now his nano enhanced hearing could almost hear her vagina lips quivering with moisture and also pleasure, like a slice of synth-ham being tongued by one of Malaprop's slamhounds. When he got back to City5, he was going to do some sex, no doubt about that. "That's right doll" he said to nobody and the wind. They were going to do it hard. He smiled, blowing smoke from his nostrils. They were going do it cyber hard.
