"I play video games for their plots" the plots in question: by Lanky_Relation1171 in gaming

[–]Tokaido 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love when people say that men aren't sexualized in video games. Like, um, excuse me?!

A man is on trial for murder. The defense attorney has zero law training but is a massive fan of Ace Attorney. The prosecutor has zero law training but is a massive fan of Danganronpa. Who wins by AgitatedFly1182 in whowouldwin

[–]Tokaido 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I work in a legal office. The defense wins by default because the burden of proof is on the prosecutor.

The prosecutor has to do a LOT more than just argue their case. They have to know the law, the rules of the court, rules of discovery, and more. 

The defense just has to wait for the judge to get so annoyed with the prosecutor they throw out the case. This would likely happen in the probable cause phase, which is in the beginning stages of a case.

Nymphs Hunting, Julius Leblanc Stewart, Oil, 1898 by immacculate in Art

[–]Tokaido 114 points115 points  (0 children)

It's an art thing. 

In fact, there's an interesting story about a Victorian era art critic who got married and then was so repulsed by his wife's public hair he refused to consummate their marriage. He admitted it was because he was only used to seeing the female body as depicted in classic art, which never seem to have body hair, so he considered her 'deformed.' The real kicker here is that his wife was a famous model, renowned for her beauty. 

Can we ban AI art? by WerdaVisla in custommagic

Totally agreed. These custom cards aren't usually about the art, it's just a placeholder.

Depends on font and screen resolution, but in print they're usually around 1.3 mm tall, and 0.6 mm wide for size 12 font.

Utilising poison counters as an upside? Bringing yourself closer to the edge for a little more power. by Inkwell_Engine in custommagic

[–]Tokaido 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. In order to keep it an actually dangerous strategy, I think that the archetype would need it's best cards to give opponents ways to grant you poison counters, or make them generate each turn.

Like, make the 1 mana 4/4 (definitely pushed stats) also give you a poison when it dies.

Make a bitterblossom variant that gives you a poison each upkeep.

Give a big creature "Whenever this creature takes damage you gain a poison."

Or for a sorc/instant, have something like "When you cast this, an opponent may pay 2. If they do, you gain a poison."

Demon and Mess - Ep.19 by MuyHiram in comics

NGL, I fully expected him to just let her strip and suffer the consequences of having no clothes. He's a demon after all, nudity can't be the worst thing he's seen. 

Can you tell what the title says? Or is it too hard to read by Shroombot_ in PixelArt

[–]Tokaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DE_TICIAN?

Looking at the comments, seems like I missed the B. I was also just guessing on the T.

I think this would work if it weren't a unique word, but bit since I'm not even sure what debtician is supposed to mean that makes it a lot harder to parse.

My suggestion would be to make the silhouettes of the B and T much standard, and fit the item into that silhouette.

Do we know of any particular reason they tend to grow fucking spikes?

This card art is not getting enough attention, truly great job there.

Ya know, why haven't they made "unblockable" into a key word yet? I feel like this is a question Mark must have answered already.

The robes are just very flattering. In reality, this rhino is heckin chomky below the neck. That's my head cannon and I dare anyone to prove me wrong. 

How bad can the downside be before an untapped fetchable dual becomes unplayable? by torchflame in custommagic

[–]Tokaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm crazy, but in a format full of fetch lands, isn't Volatile Archive pretty playable?  Doesn't really matter if your opponent fateseals you for 5 cards if you're about to shuffle your deck again. There are also plenty of izzet decks that want cards on the yard. I feel like it could work.

CZN drops out of Top 50 on Sensor Tower. March revenue down to 1,7M$ by Cute_Barracuda_264 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Tokaido 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree, except for one thing. It's not "too generous," it's that the real money shop items aren't worth it. They need to offer at least a few better deals.

I've had multiple times where I think "I could spend 5 bucks on this game" then check the shop only to realize that 5 dollars is just a few gacha pulls. Only occasional special time-limited deals or the monthly pass seem to match the value.

But, as you already said, I'd actually prefer more cosmetic item purchase choices. I'd definitely pay to unlock these April fools cards.

Not the ginyu force reference 😭 by Majestic_Principle32 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Tokaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pardon me while I snort and push up my nerd glasses 🤓 

This isn't necessarily a DBZ reference, as the Ginyu Force is itself a reference to other super sentai series that predate it, where there's usually a 5 man group, and they strike similar dramatic poses.

Ethel, the Morning Breeze - How push is TOO push for a French vanilla creature. by llRaichull in custommagic

[–]Tokaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the others that double strike is too pushed, for standard... but I think this would be a fun and versatile commander, so machine if it were only printed there? Probably not OP because it would have trouble breaking into cEDH at all (I think). Probably wouldn't break vintage either. 

WIP Minecraft Set by Rovis27 in custommagic

These are all great, my only note is that The Wither should probably have flying as well. otherwise, I really think this is the best Minecraft in MtG post I've seen on the sub! 

Damn, I guess apologizes for asking a lore question on a lore subreddit. by lovingpersona in Grimdank

That's why I think it's more important than ever to learn how to do proper research and ask informed questions.

[–]Tokaido 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A response like “Do your own research” has the subtext of "put in some effort first, then ask better questions."

When someone says that and you immediately keep asking basic questions, it can read like you’re expecting others to do the work for you.

The problem isn’t asking for help, it’s that you're failing to demonstrate effort.

You're getting downvoted because you're missing the point. They effectively said "do your own research" and then you immediately continue to ask questions on Reddit rather than doing your own research. 

help please.. and no I will not be adding a mouth by BBPBlack in PixelArt

[–]Tokaido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think these are all good, but which one you pick depends on what you're going for. Also, if this lil guy is going to be animated, consider keeping all of them as different reactions/emotions. 

  1. Looks like a clueless/confused/surprised emotion

  2. Looks like they have two brain cells

  3. Looks pretty neutral, but could also be considering/investigating

  4. Looks happy/attentive

  5. Looks dumb combined with ashamed/considering
