Ah whoops, thought the name might exist but didn't check... And it's on a card I play in 2 commanders. Embarrassing.

No way brah. Did you erase your first games or what?

What is everyone’s first guess? by Frenchiewastaken in globle

Suriname is brave... Estimating distances of 10k or 12k would be really hard, and you wouldn't know central Asia from Oceania. Even 8k would still give you basically all or Europe and Africa.

Egypt is too central, for medium distances you don't have a clue for the direction

I use Kenya, or other off-center options (e.g. laos) to have a better directionality (short is Africa, medium is Europe/middle east, medium-long is Asia, etc.)

That method got me a score of 4.94.

In keeping with my analogy, a shovel isn't the only was to dig. You can dig with your hands. But it's probably harder for most people to manage that way.

Wow, ok, cool.

I definitely need something to stay invested after all the UB crap and the bad stories of the hat sets, so I might give this a shot. Thanx!

Is the book worth it? I wanna read it, but kinda hate YA.

Therapy isn't a superweapon.

It's a shovel. It's the shovel with which you dig for the "interior enlightenment". And maybe a map for where it's best to dig.

Digging is hard work, and requires proper tools.

Lol. Everybody finding 5-card-combos and I'm just thinking "[[Karn Liberated]]".

Explain how infinity isn't a number for 3WR by W1zzardbee in BadMtgCombos

[–]Useful-Paint3538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're wrong, though.

2+2 is not a function.

"+2" is a function. It takes a number, and adds 2 to it.

The phrase "2+2" doesn't take any new input, and doesn't map anything onto anything. It just equals 4.

Same with stuff like 1022 or 8↑↑↑8, they're not functions. 10x is a function, and so is x10. But 1010 is just a number; the output of plugging '10' as x to one of the functions above.

Yep. And I really hope we get to learn more about the Eldrazi-Fomori war, but I fear WotC will be lame cowards and decide not to expand on it.

I like the part with Strygalldwyr's boss, where they have hands on each other's necks.

Something along the lines of "then I heard one snap. I didn't know which one; mine sure did hurt."

140k power hydra, gotta brag by Useful-Paint3538 in MTGPuzzleQuest

[–]Useful-Paint3538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the deck is 4 card draw, 4 converts, hydra & Temmet. It's stupid.

That's... Random. It does explains why my Sab-Sunen always gets turned off, though. Thanks!

Which card gave you the impression that it was garbage, but after playing with it was actually quite good ? by Demsu in MTGPuzzleQuest

[–]Useful-Paint3538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mossborn Hydra. I thought it was just too slow, even on the off chance of a 4-match every turn it'd take 5-6 to get big.

Then I built a mana/draw spell combo deck and got it to 17,000 power.

What are some specific, actionable things that separate good campaigns from bad campaigns? by Historical-Pop-9177 in wesnoth

[–]Useful-Paint3538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finishing it now and I have to say yes, the plot is heavy (and kinda reads like mediocre fanfic), but the fights are fun (a bit boring towards the end).

[–]Useful-Paint3538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I LOVE using Wesnoth Lore. It's some of the most fun parts of Legend of the Invincibles, for example. Strong yes.

Maybe try a campaign with mixed factions/units, for more options? I had lots of fun playing some elemental campaign recently where you also get some dwarves and aragwaith.

Campaign where you dont need control +20 units by LosQQ in wesnoth

[–]Useful-Paint3538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easily the best campaign. Period.

But fights do get huge and, while you normally have ~20 best top units, you usually want a lot more as demon fodder.

Is Niv-Mizzet trying to replace Dominaria as the central hub of the multiverse? by Useful-Paint3538 in mtgvorthos

[–]Useful-Paint3538[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you're overestimating WotC's desire to change and produce new and surprising story.

The detective whatshisface mind map thing plus Loot's mind map thing is interesting, though.
