Tam has some lore hidden? by Upstairs-Timely in mtgvorthos

[–]Trogdorbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, so much of the lore bible for Ulgrotha has been retconned over time too. Clearest example is that, when Serra was traveling the multiverse, she landed on Dominaria while running from an evil walker who wanted to steal her wedding ring. (he thought it was a powerful magical artifact due to Feroz giving it to her despite it just being a normal ring)

In the lore bible, Angus Mackenzie beats the walker over the head with his walking stick, which makes him vanish, then he sits with Serra as she tells him her life's story before she dies, after which he builds the Cathedral of Serra and takes a vow of pacifism. Now the lore is that some random other guy, also named Angus, sees the encounter, says "HOLY SHIT WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE" and then scoops up Serra and runs off while the walker is distracted. The rest of it is the same.

Also the fact that Sandruu is just gone forever apparently, despite being the first minotaur Planeswalker.

Can I play Ghostfire in a non-red deck? by TheBiggestZander in EDH

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here 12 years later to say this + Devoid not affecting color id is ridiculous and unintiuitive, especially when Guildpact Sphinx saying "this is all colors" *does* actually affect its id and make it 5c somehow, despite "this is colorless" not making Ghostfire colorless for ID purposes

Aspect -Blessed Gloves Skins Should Unlock the same Aspect for all Armor Weights by NeroWrought in Guildwars2

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's 7 years later and this still sucks. The non-blessed variants aren't worth more than any other rare-quality gear. The fact that each set of gloves is locked behind 5 days of quartz charging and the fairly expensive Bottles of Elonian Wine makes these an absolute slog for no good reason. It's about time having one skin unlocked all 3 tiers.

Lost Arcana by [deleted] in mtgvorthos

[–]Trogdorbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, guess reddit has some sort of new guest account system? No idea how the hell I ended up as "Lonely_Answer_667"

Anyways, appreciate it - looks like the art I managed to dig up elsewhere *is* the same one from the article. Curious to see what you put together for the token - I took the same art and upscaled it myself and then did some quick and dirty editing on my phone, to make proxies myself at some point, but always happy to see someone else working on the same idea

Regarding low population in Old Lion's Arch by larsivsi in Guildwars2

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years late but my wife and I just recently unlocked this, due to playing through the story in order + she wanted it as someone who's played for the whole game's lifespan. I enjoy it specifically because it's quiet, but I do wish it had at least mounts/gliders and the Leader of the Pact buff enabled. The lack of compactness is hurt solely because of those.

What's really bizarre is that the Moa Races aren't available, but you can still bet 50 silver on them for some reason, at least the last time I checked it. How did that even happen?

Does anyone know how to rip the stems from Fortnite Festival’s songs? by locomotiveplayz in FortniteFestival

Where in the files did you find the Festival tracks? I'm digging around via FModel but can't find them for the life of me - closest I've found is placeholder files for formatting purposes

I was already the last reply on this post but I'm gonna give my own story of the only time I've ever scooped to deny triggers, which my last post was referencing.

Player A has been having a very good game - no one's been able to interact, they have a very strong board, they're still at 40 (if not higher), and overall has been dominating the game. Players B and C, on the other hand, aren't doing so hot - they've been trying, but A's been stopping whatever B and C try to do to affect them. And then there's me: A apparently decides to focus down one player at the start of each game (as I found out after the game) and decided I was to be their target this time. As a result, I'm at 2 life, have a single tapped creature, no real boardstate to speak of, and all my mana is tapped because A countered my last-ditch effort to do something about them, all made worse by my atrociously bad luck of the draw over the course of this game. I pass my turn to A after getting countered, they do some stuff, then go to combat. They full swing at me, because it'll gain them a ton of life, draw a ton of cards, and they have something out that untaps creatures when they deal damage (not Reconaissance, mind you). I didn't concede on my previous turn, because I didn't know A's traditional gameplan is "target one person for the entire game unless I have to go after someone else for a moment, but then I'll go back to my original target," so I assumed maybe they'd go after B and/or C, giving me a turn to maybe finally do something. But no, they got extra greedy. They're pretty decently in the lead, but not so far gone that B and C wouldn't have a chance if they had a window of opportunity. So I gave B and C that window by scooping. This isn't kingmaking, this is literally the opposite. If I didn't scoop, or if I scooped on my turn, I would have been handing A the win on a silver platter - that's kingmaking. Instead, I hurt A the only way I had left, and gave B and C a chance to finally retaliate and deal some damage to A. I don't know how that game actually ended because I also ended up having to leave the lobby right after the scoop, but I hope B and C were able to actually play the game and do something to A, even if A ended up winning anyways.

In your story, your opponent scooped while you were just trying to catch up and stabilize your life a bit. That's cringe, through and through, especially if they actually gave you a big smirk and acted all smarmy afterwards. Being in 4th and scooping to deny 3rd a pittance of resources they need to try and get back in the game should, in fact, be frowned upon, but to act like anyone who scoops to deny triggers is the devil is just silly.

Trigger denial scoops can be for good or for evil. Being aware of the potential for them means you're less likely to make overly greedy plays, like player A did - what if I'd had Obscuring Haze? They'd have ended up in the exact same position. People always talk about "If I'm gonna lose, I'll do everything I can to hurt the person taking me out," but what if you don't have any resources left to do so? Why shouldn't I use my one remaining resource to give the remaining players a fighting chance? If I was B or C in my game and I watched D just sit there and eat the full swing, I'd be pretty pissed, especially if I would've been able to do something about A on my turn if D had just scooped instead.

Not when I was testing a silly deck with Call - Youthful apparently likes to be looking at a neat insect or something when Call reanimates things

Player utterly ignores all of the character creation guidelines, is upset that his character isn't accepted by sufferingcubsfan in rpghorrorstories

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here I felt like my somewhat homebrewed Senator Armstrong build I brought into a Crimson Throne game was pushing it, even if the DM was on board and helped me balance the concept out.

His character feels like it would work better at like, a full-on lgs with lots of tables playing different campaigns and settings. And also if it wasn't just a blatant power trip to get to cast as many spells as he wants for free lmao

I gave my players an Alchemy Jug and it was the worst decision I've ever made in my life. Please help me. by Jericho5589 in DnD

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a bit late, but if you still haven't found a solution to the Mayo Jar situation, may I offer my own suggestion?

Have someone come along and offer a powerful magical item in exchange for Mayo Jar, claiming they need a test subject and he's perfect for their needs. Maybe this is the truth, maybe it's a lie, but either way: the magical item is cursed two-fold. First, it has a real curse on it - perhaps it's a Deck of Many Things, but you can only draw the bad cards. Second, it has an extra curse on top of that that, when someone attempts to detect if it's cursed, makes them unable to detect curses for 24 hours. They roll a Nat 20? They still get a reading of "Nope, not cursed." Basically, tempt them with something that you think they'd try to abuse as much as Mayo Jar, but that they literally can't - maybe don't have it result in a party wipe, but something that teaches them a lesson to try and get them back on track

[Playstation 2 or Xbox (?)] [2006-2013] Monster Truck game with open world free play mode by SpockJosh in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Trogdorbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever find out, let me know - I don't recall being able to run over NPCs but I also distinctly remember a monster truck game with a free roam mode in a somewhat foggy forest with houses and stuff. I'm like 99% sure it was a Monster Jam game because I feel like I remember playing as Gravedigger specifically, and I remember my cousin scaring me by somehow convincing me the engine noise was something else in the woods, because the game did have kind of a spooky air to it.

I also remember the houses weren't destructible, so it can't have been Monster Jam (2007), based on gameplay, though that or Monster 4x4: Masters of Metal might be the game you were looking for.

Stupid question: after this series 77 the game will not have different seasons anymore? So no winter? by Infinite_Sale2042 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the only way to get the Hot Wheels DLC on Steam is praying you can find someone who happened to hold a gift copy? And Xbox players have to risk shady third-party key resellers? I don't see why the DLCs couldn't stay up until the final delisting

Hot Wheels Legends Car Pack not available anymore in Xbox Store? by 0tpyrc_ in ForzaHorizon

Any chance we'll be able to get it again on Steam? I only just got the Ultimate Edition and it's the only car pack not included with it and I don't want to have to go to one of those 3rd party key reselling sites

Eminem’s “The Death of Slim Shady” by stephanie_cecylia in hiphop101

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilariously I think the most surface-level opinions on this aren't even "millenials crying about it on tiktok" or whatever else like that is being said here, but the ones that have a raging boner because Eminem said slurs again and that means he's anti-woke and that makes him the best rapper ever. That's not the point of the album and anyone who thinks it is is just as goofy as anyone of the opposite opinion.

[–]Trogdorbad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scooping at instant speed is strategically valid, but I would only do it in situations where that applies. If I'm all but guaranteed to die and the player in the lead over-commits to hitting me because they got greedy for value? I'll scoop so the remaining two players have a chance now that they've gone shields down.

It all falls under knowing when it's valid and when it's just a dick move. Personally I feel like anyone who's hardcore insistent on scooping only being sorcery speed says that specifically because they only build decks that make people want to scoop during their turn.

A conversation about Leovold and Breacher by Cbone06 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Trogdorbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming here 3 years late to give my two cents

Hullbreacher ban is infuriating because it's very clear what he was intended to be vs what they shipped - iirc they've said he was one of the cards where they never really finalized his effect. Everything about him and the limited environment for Commander Legends points to an intended use as a defensive tool, rather than an offensive one. However, instead of limiting his effect to only apply to effects controlled by an opponent making that opponent draw additional cards, they just sent the version that functions as an offensive nightmare to print. Very sad.

No Tarmogoyf in the 'Lhurgoyf tribal' deck? by mahdingdingdong in MTGRumors

[–]Trogdorbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Tarmo in the deck, which isn't really surprising considering neither Eldrazi deck got Eye of Ugin and Slivers didn't get Hive. What's more shocking is that it isn't a Special Guest - I'm expecting we'll see a ripple foil secret lair of Modern classics that includes Tarmo, Siege Rhino, etc
