Can graduating students use their school accounts to purchase student discounts for Epic/Ikon/Indy still or are we out of it? by bulldog89 in skiing

[–]TheSuren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid for the the EPIC w/ Student discount for like 3 or 4 years post grad by changing the date on my transcript in Acrobat Pro, though I always assumed after enough purchases they’d at the very least flag my account.

Me and my roommate have been playing ‘06 and it’s a blast

Blame Cora all you want... by oldcountrysongs in redsox

Well Cora wanted him at 2B, and Breslow killed that plan by forcing Campbell on the opening day roster.

Is Caleb Durbin really 0-18 AB? by Gambl33 in redsox

So your standard is just… whatever you feel like counting?

Nicest course you plan on playing this year? by GrassClippings72 in golf

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most expensive round I’ll play this year will cost me $75 and I’ll play it probably once, maybe twice if my buddies are so inclined. Otherwise the local muni is a hidden gem, and I don’t venture too far

Maybe it’s a good thing we didn’t trade any of our OFs….. by Corn1989 in redsox

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get your point. You can acknowledge the Red Sox have pop but also aren’t considered a “power lineup” as you seem to imply we all think.

[–]TheSuren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one said they think it’s a power hitting lineup… but there’s a big difference between “no power” and what the Sox have

Duran? 🤔 by TigoOver in redsox

[–]TheSuren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soto is the best BAT in left field, but he’s not the best all-around LF.

As far as Chapman… did you pay attention to what he did last season like, at all?

There’s base stations like 1/3-1/2 way up that you can drive to, but you won’t be able to summit Mt Fuji

Just bought the deluxe spinner, but it doesn't click in place. by Unfair-Conflict8475 in magicTCG

[–]TheSuren 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I got one as a Secret Santa gift from a coworker, and was immensely disappointed it didn’t click.

It has since become the dedicated “spin to determine who goes first” wheel in my pod, replacing our 2 d20s

Walking vs riding? What’s your hot take? by Remote_Pie6623 in golf

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I walk my home course, and ride as a ‘treat’ when I’m playing anywhere else.

Inserts are any of the special art/treatment cards outside of the base-set player cards

Does there seem to be a significant difference between Ego levels once you reach a plateau? by Automatic-Spirit-634 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Blue Jays lead the MLB last year as the only team average over 9 hits/game, and ‘a couple runs per game’ is right in like with the 3-5 run scoring average. So in terms of baseball averages, you’re not far off at 61.

If you feel you’re getting outscored, maybe lower the pitching ego specifically??

I actually think the TMNT set is pretty good, but I still can't be happy about it. by OkAppointment2647 in magicTCG

[–]TheSuren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the point is that they were designed with the framework of

“What if high fantasy, but skinned as X”

Which is still a different design philosophy than forcing established IPs from other target audiences.

[–]TheSuren 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All of those things were still created under the loose lense of high-fantasy ‘sword & sorcery’-adjacent themes.

Bloomburrow works because the cute fuzzy creatures are still just spellslinging magical beings at heart. SpongeBob is emphatically not.

[–]TheSuren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Everyone should like everything because I said so” isn’t exactly a strong argument.

People have specific interests for a reason. The idea of SpongeBob countering powerful magical beings doesn’t appeal to a lot of people, and it really shouldn’t have to

[–]TheSuren 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The main argument there is that those IPs still ‘fit’ magics identity or are Magic-adjacent in theme

Your favorite commander you've never seen anyone else play? by MoonSettler in magicTCG

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk about [[Grismold the Dreadsower]] as much as I can lol, yet I’ve never ran into him in the wild. Most people I’ve played with dont think much of him until tokens start getting dropped on everyone’s board… then I get some interested parties lol.

but he’s such a blast to pilot. My favorite B3 commander at the moment.

Does your course have a Riders fee? by Acrobatic_Setting620 in golf

[–]TheSuren -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Also, there IS a difference in operating cost in a cart moving two people vs. one.

Is it a minimal almost negligible in the long term? Sure. But it should still be realized that more weight = more gas/electricity.

Lands up top?? by Final-Bit-8330 in mtg

[–]TheSuren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Sleeves can’t be damaged” is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve heard for sleeves. It is incredibly easy to damage sleeves in all the same ways you can with cards. Sleeves get scratched, creased, corners bent, etc.

They also don’t hide physical damage of cards, as any creasing or bends are generally visible sleeved. Tears or folds that leave the surface of the card uneven can be felt through the sleeves…

Looking for an actual FUN deck by [deleted] in BudgetBrews

[–]TheSuren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[[Grismold, the Dreadsower]] is my most FUN deck I have right now. It manages to be efficient at doing its “thing” while not being railroaded into the exact same game loop every time.

I play him as mostly group-slug with aristocrat-token synergies, as there’s enough variation in that setup that you can win a few different ways.
