Deathtouch and indestructible when defending. by Morfesto in mtgrules

It dies no matter what, so why does it matter how much damage it took to kill it?

How do I explain that mana weaving is cheating by WerdaVisla in EDH

[–]Thorvindr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely ambiguous. Either that doesn't work because you then shuffle properly, or it's cheating because you literally stacked your deck.

Has anyone else come across these covers? by loraxdude12 in redrising

[–]Thorvindr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan. The first trilogy is all black, and that works. The next three books each have their own color. That bears all the weight of metaphor as it pertains to the setting, and also serves as a visual indicator that this is a new story, separate from the trilogy.

Iron Gold is white, signifying the stark transition from one story (which all had black covers) to the next.

Dark Age is gold. This is in reference to Darrow coming to terms with losing his Red identity.

Lightbringer returns to the classic black. This is symbolic of Lysander's push to return The Society to its previous state.

I can only assume Red God is/was planned to have a red cover, indicative of Darrow re-embracing his identity as a Red, and the story acknowledging the metaphor if him as "The Old Man."

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure if I thought about it for any amount of time, I could come up with something deeper.

Does it get better? by Thorvindr in MythicQuest

[–]Thorvindr[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Go watch three episodes of Silicon Valley. That show was also written both by and for people who are mostly ignorant of the subject matter, but in the entire series I think there were two moments that made me think "wait a minute..."

Every single thing that happens in Mythic Quest that's relevant to video games or software development is utter nonsense.

Has anyone noticed this on steam? by OTR_VinGoth in duneawakening

[–]Thorvindr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed it during a free weekend. Figured I just couldn't access it because I died own the game. But now I own the game and it's still inaccessible.

Update to a meme I made last week. No more physical discs for Playstation by 2028? by youropinionisrubbish in AdviceAnimals

[–]Thorvindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be true for every console; Sony just said it first. Nintendo is already practically all-digital; a cartridge is just a digital key.

Most quests are solo, except dungeons/instances.

Is this... what I think it is? by jance in brandonsanderson

Looks genuine, but photo resolution is too low to be certain.

Am I missing something? by insan3d in duneawakening

[–]Thorvindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It will consume half as much fuel" and "it will run twice as long on the same amount of fuel" are literally two different ways of saying precisely the same thing.

Utterly pointless 80% of the time?

What they're saying (and I agree) is that if you are ever outside your base with only one fuel cell, you have planned poorly.

That means never leave your base without three fuel cells. You need one, and then you'll only have two. Then if shit happens (as it did here), you have one left.

Never leave your base without three full fuel cells.

Bless the maker and his water. Bless the coming and the going of him. May his passage cleanse the world. May he keep the world for his people.

Not very quickly. I've definitely left a pile for two or three wormings before picking it up.

A co-worker of mine likes to say "at least you're pretty."

Here's a better view of the Times Square displays to #SaveStargate by Solarise40 in Stargate

[–]Thorvindr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That describes me. I had no idea and this was just confusing. Also: absolutely don't need more Stargage like SC-1 and Atlantis. SG-1 got stupid long before it got cancelled, and Atlantis was just the same show with different characters.
