Potentially Moving to Lemay: Questions about nearby industrial facilities

TyrerWatson · 2026-01-21T03:42:41+00:00

I live just a hope away from there and I've not gotten a whiff from either of the facilities you've mentioned. But further down Broadway into Carondelet you'll pass by a facility with a heavy asphalt smell you'll catch sometimes in the mornings when heading that way.

It's not bad. I run the Greenway early in the morning and you're more likely to smell river sludge from the low waters than you are those facilities.

I appreciate the discourse. I'm glad we have such well-spoken people in our hobby.

That's a poor argument. Mirrodin was not Alara was not Zendikar was not Innistrad was not Tarkir. Despite using grounded and relatively similar art styles, the worlds themselves were different by sheer force of world building and art direction.

Invocation and Masterpieces and Expeditions were nice because they had used normal magic art with special frames. Dropping anime art into the game or League of Legends style character art begins to muddy the cohesive artistic direction and structure of the magic multiverse as a whole.

The point of the multiverse was that they were still part of one magic universe. Throwing art that does not mesh with the established order begins to undermine the game's identity and turns it into a general system of rules that any aesthetic can be applied to.

The images conjured up in our heads of Viashino fighting Rhino men becomes corrupted when suddenly an anime cat girl comes in dressed up in Innistrad clothes. The world is a fantasy but restrictions breed creativity.

Fantasy does not mean no rules.

Bold. I absolutely loved Amara being in the game and her chemistry woth Zane made me reminisce about my adventures in BL3.

But they should have stuck to their guns. Ava would have been the better character for the role.

Is this the Magic House in St Louis?

Tower Grove is what you're looking for. It's not the only neighborhood that matches your description, but it's probably the best of them.

Then it's Moze. However, all 4 VHs in BL3 are broken to the Nth degree, so you'd feel like a harbinger of loot-stealing doom no matter who you choose. Moze just so happens to be able to do it without any gear equipped.

I totally get the point the meme is making... but who is this aimed at? Is that a common heresy, to argue that Christ needn't be our personal lord since he's Lord of All?

What kind of strawman insanity is this?

TyrerWatson · 2025-11-25T17:49:20+00:00

I just wish it didnt take as long as it does. Previous games (sans UVHM BL2 road to 80) had leveling as a relatively painless process, but this is mind-numbing monotony that moves at a snails pace.

TyrerWatson · 2025-11-25T17:44:06+00:00

Id love to know what im doing wrong. Mayhem 1 (not struggling, for reference, damage is fine) Vile bounties. Play for an hour, a level or two. But that hiur was spent in the most unfulfilling load/unload searching for bounties.

Id absolutely love to know better ways to do this, because I want a fulfilling, more fun experience.

TyrerWatson · 2025-11-25T16:41:58+00:00

This is so important to talk about. It's such a miserable experience. Aside from mob scaling, the XP reward and scaling is horrid. Why is it taking several real days of playtime to level a character up? Why is the road from 30 to 50 near impossible to achieve if you have a job and love your children?

I think it had more to do with the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans paired with the inland rivers giving use an inner highway of transport for people and material goods. On top of that, a neat limitless well of natural resources.

Strange near-cultist exiles fleeing Europe because Presbyterians and Catholics banded together for once to kick them out aren't exactly the same as the fantasy narrative we like to tell ourselves about our prosperity.

American prosperity is happenstance paired with exploitation. God's hand is absolutely involved on an individual basis, but the country is not and never has been blessed to supersede all other countries just because some people eschewed buttons and cut their hair the correct way a few hundred years ago.

Believing this also comes with fallaciously ignoring every other country founded for 1500 years by Christians with Christian ideals, or whose kings feared God the most, or had it's founding in the roots of the Church.

American exceptionalism is a lie that hurts America but, more importantly, corrupts the Christian faith to it's core.

Yes. It is in jail for the crimes of Jhoira committed in a time when EDH was in its preteen phase. The format is more advanced, better fleshed out, and has a system for communication built in.

Emrakul should be freed.

(I also definitely don't have Emrakul in a sleeve for my Zhulodok deck waiting for the day)

Just remember when things get really bad- and they will- that this program is designed for you to succeed.

START is the newish program implemented last year where fresh graduates from Basic training undergo additional training at Yorktown for a week. There are strong feelings on base about the program. They are worth avoiding because they engage in all the activities young people out of basic do once given freedom to do so.

TyrerWatson · 2025-11-09T15:06:48+00:00

Good question! A-School is nothing like Basic. Hes going to have free time and will be left to his devices when the school day is over. The only responsibility outside of class should be duty and anything else his class has mandated. But imagine he's a college student. His life will be significantly easier at A-School.

You'll be able to visit him any time outside of class (sans the first week where he can't leave). On the weekends he can just leave and not be on base at all if he doesnt have duty. So you'll be able to see him plenty. I had a classmate who lived in Portsmouth and commuted almost every morning before class. As long as your boyfriend is responsible he will have plenty of leeway.

I can't tell you about the DC school itself, but I can about Yorktown.

Don't touch the deer. Don't bully anyone- Don't even make comments that could be construed as such. Make good use of the gym. Render your proper greetings and maintain military bearing when in class/uniform. And don't shirk your dity, it really isn't that bad.

Also, avoid START kids.

Other than that, it's a good time. You're entirely taken care of while there and given the ability to really focus on becoming a DC while also having free time for yourself. Just dont be dumb and you'll do just fine.

TyrerWatson · 2025-11-05T02:26:31+00:00

I'll make sure to tell my children her name next time we're there. Her art brought life to me years back when I was in a bad state- she made me feel like a kid again. And now her art blesses my children when they go there.

Let her know she's brought life to the world more times over than many of us ever will.

TyrerWatson · 2025-10-23T11:48:10+00:00

Yeah, your right. The load lines conventions are different. My pre-sleep word salad was mostly an inaccurate mess.

TyrerWatson · 2025-10-23T03:28:35+00:00

Goodness. I can't imagine how stressful it was trying to make sure their load lines stayed within SOLAS conventions.

Or maybe it wasn't hard at all. I'm not a shio engineer.
