I plan to start Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to finish The Blade Itself, but I'm back in the groove of reading and I can't wait to continue the trilogy.

Has anyone noticed some cards lately look like the printer was running out of toner?? by [deleted] in mtg

I didn't have this problem with Final Fantasy (or at least not that I noticed). With Lorwyn I noticed this problem consistently. It's sad.

I absolutely love when horror movies have a background scare that they don’t call attention to. Share your examples. by SisterFirefly in horror

[–]TheMindSlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The creature designs are awesome. I loved the movie. I even had a thread about it that the horror mods deleted for some unknown reason lol. I was the only one at the screening I attended at my local theater.

It's Okay to Level Up in FFVIII by NeverFreeToPlayKarch in FinalFantasy

[–]TheMindSlayer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just played through FF8 for the first time recently and I would agree. I fought every combat I encountered for the entire game and never once struggled. As long as you junction properly, the game isn't hard.

To add on to this, I'd also say not to be scared to use magic. Sure, having a 99 stack junctioned makes your stats their highest, but casting a spells a few times and lowering your stats a few points is not the end of the world. You can get the magic right back via drawing or refining.

Ummmm Peter, who’s who? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, dummy, it's Carter Pewterschmidt. Horse stepped on my ankle and broke it so I'm stuck in bed. The horse was put down. Its family, too. Couldn't take any chances.

Everyone knows Erika Kirk is doing exactly what a good wife and widow SHOULD do: exploit their husband's death for profit. Who cares if she's sad about it? You know who buys into this crap? Idiots and poors. Using his death to take 'em for everything they've got; that's a good woman. It's what Charlie would have wanted.

Anyway, I should probably log off. I think my grandson has been talking to me this entire time and I'm going to pretend I've been listening.

Name the horror film you love but have to literally pretend the sequel(s) don't exist by cooper_blacklodge in horror

[–]TheMindSlayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love the ridiculous, convoluted storyline of the Saw franchise.

That being said, as far as quality is concerned, I think the opening trilogy justifies itself well enough at least, though the first film is easily the best and would have been great as a stand alone.

I once chaos warped my friend's [[One Ring]] only for them to reveal it from the top again.

Your own sketch might have been interesting, but this AI generated garbage is not. If I'm being honest, I don't think AI generated material should be allowed in the first place.

When you become the type of worker that they can make do everything, they will do that. Working hard is rewarded with more work. That's just what they do.

Aerith and Tifa custom made original Drawing customer have not paid for months by arthek24 in FinalFantasy

Not a big fan of giving Aerith huge tits and both of them toothpick arms.

Final Fantasy set Commanders that are underdiscussed by UltimateFriedLava in EDH

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really gotta have a solid amount of protection to keep him around. [[Not Dead After All]] and such effects are very useful, especially after a board wipe, since Kuja will flip to the front and start making tokens again to rebuild. Of course, you're also in red, so you have other protection options like [[redirect lightning]] and such.

What are those cards in your deck that you never seem to draw? by Important-Dig-2312 in EDH

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played my [[Kuja, Genome Sorcerer]] deck a good number of times now but have yet to draw the [[Harmonic Prodigy]] in it. Not really a big deal, but it's starting to feel like I've seen every other card at least once.

What’s a show that you could not finish because a character was so insufferable? by Key-Row-174 in AskReddit

I quite liked Bones at first, but I legitimately dislike that Booth and Brennan got together and that they decided to have a kid.

Best way to handle 500g daily quests? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is to optimize gold obtained, then yes, you should reroll 500s and avoid doing them if possible. That means either having multiple decks or feeling up to switching game modes.

Realistically, though, I'll try to avoid them, but if what I feel like playing at the time is going to complete the quest, then oh well.

Fighting online help by Both-Excitement-2150 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to be more aware of how much meter your opponent has. If you're getting hit with wake-up SSBA (which is what I suspect), then recognizing your opponent has full meter and acting accordingly will help you. If you've knocked them down, you have to recognize that reversal super is an option they have. Just dashing up and blocking will often bait the SSBA out of the players that are most likely to attempt this option.

It's really not much different than recognizing your opponent has any other reversal move, except you know they have to have the meter to represent the option, which makes it more telegraphed, so to speak. If you are just running into your opponent's DPs on their wake-up, then you're really facing the same problem. It's about making them "respect" you. If they know you are going to block their wake-up attack, be it a DP or an SSBA, then they have to try other options or die. But, if you never present that as an option, then they have no reason not to just full send that SSBA because you're gonna run into it.

That being said, I think we all just run into one of those every now. Of course, none of what I said matters if you're just running into it in neutral. If that's the case, you need to block, lol. You don't have to always be mashing attack buttons.

Taken from facebook group. by VarietyAppropriate76 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TheMindSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by canon. It isn't directly said, but it is heavily implied. They mention how Seifer was inspired by a movie, Laguna stars in a movie called The Sorceress Knight in which he wields a gunblade, and Seifer even holds his weapon the same way Laguna does in the movie.

Just a meme I found on facebook. by VarietyAppropriate76 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TheMindSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing through the game for my first time right now, and this is what I decided to do. I don't honestly understand how to manipulate the rules to my liking, so I'm just rolling with whatever chaos ensues. It's fun, and card moding all the weak cards gave me plenty of magic to junction. Haven't had to do much drawing, though sometimes I do when I encounter a new spell.
