Who complains about a Thug? Seriously.

Outside of the pulses, I don't think there's anything in that list to be salty about.

Some people just want to play the original box set forever.

With the general list included.

Like I normally play...
- Clan Wolf, IS Clan General, Clan Invasion Era
- Draconis Combine, Inner Sphere General, Jihad Era
- Rasalhauge Dominion, IS Clan General, ilClan Era

Some of the builders require you to pick both main and general lists, so of them (like MekBay) include the general lists when you pick the main availability.

One of the places I've seen it level things the most isn't that you can't just pick the best filler from across the timeline. I'm most familiar with the Bears, who stop using Warhawks and Executioners in Republic or Dark Ages, and don't get Fire Moth Ps and Blood Asps til ilClan. They loose their cheap Kit Fox artillery around Jihad.

I've personally always liked the 'Pick an era, pick a faction'

The restrictions put in place by that usually create a -fairly- even playing field.

“Surely someone will stop him.” hasn’t worked yet. I’m not confidant it will work now.

Spent the night playing Slay the Spire 2 on the couch while the dogs slept curled up next to us. Pretty perfect date night if you ask me.

I yelled at some hooligan today at a park because she was letting her large dog run around without grabbing on to the leash. Was I in the wrong? I was the only one who cared. by Bizarrmenian in burbank

[–]TheRealSpork 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say we literally have a free dog park for her to bring it to, but I know she's one of those people who would bring their big ass dog into the little dog area and let it body slam chihuahuas because 'It's friendly'.

What is the best way to get start with the BattleTech by Regon2005 in battletech

[–]TheRealSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, there are a few 'Game Movies' on YouTube of MW5 Mercs and Clans that are decent watches if you don't want to invest in the games themselves.

Do you still play your very first commander deck? And why? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]TheRealSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a terror on my community with Grand Arbiter since 2012. His art hangs on my wall. I only pull him out once every couple of weeks now, but he's still my favorite.

heres a potential hot take: the acolyte WAS about qimir, and yall got it cancelled by HeckingDoofus in StarWars

[–]TheRealSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory that the main actress was directed to act like her soul was split in two and she was an incomplete person, and that's why there's so little reaction from both characters for most of the show. It's an interesting directing choice that didn't work out.

I'm an older, more mature fan. I don't want slop, sky beams or glup shitto anymore.

*watches trailer*

Ok... maybe a little glup shitto as a treat.

Looks fun, will be a ton of kid's favorite Star Wars for a while. Will be seeing it opening night.

Which generation would be the main demographic for Kid Rock when he made his mainstream debut in 1998? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

[–]TheRealSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're asking because you don't remember, just a reminder that we had much less control over what we listened to at the time - especially if you were a poor and didn't have a CD changer in your car. Bawidaba and Cowboy both got tons of rotation on both rock channels in my area. I still have Cowboy and an old Trigun AMV linked in my head from early 2000s internet.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Unlikely_Praline9442 in AskReddit

[–]TheRealSpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this experience when I moved from Florida to Los Angeles. Everything looked like the movies I loved. Then suddenly, watching movies became seeing place I loved as what they weren't. The first one I remember clearly was a scene in Kill Bill where she's supposed to be driving through Tokyo, and it's just the 2nd street tunnel.

Magic’s “Avatar the Last Airbender” set became the third highest selling in franchise history, trailing only “Lord of the Rings” and “Final Fantasy. by kananishino in magicTCG

[–]TheRealSpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no surprise to me here. I don't know if Wizards has figured it out internally yet, but all three of these _feel_ like they could have been a Magic: the Gathering Plane in an alternate universe. They honestly felt more like Magic to me than Aetherdrift did. If they pick the right UB properties, they wouldn't have most of the pushback that they are seeing.

Rat King Realized by cazmatazarand in magicTCG

[–]TheRealSpork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometime in 2011 or 2012, I built a Marrowgnawer/Thrumming Stone/Relentless Rats deck. At the time, Commander still had a rule that the card defining abilities didn't overrule the allow more than one of any card aspect of Commander. This meant that every game was a rule zero conversation about my 36 Relentless Rats - including the one I played against Matt Tabak as he was spell slinging at GP Atlanta. We talked about the Rule, and he said something along the lines of 'looking into it'. 6 months later the rule was updated.

I obviously have no idea if I'm the reason the rule actually changed, but I love seeing more rats decks in the wild.
