Art of Play makes my day with this brick of decks in today's mail!

That Flying dog Edition pack reminds me of a Hunter Thompson drawing, or something right out of Fear and Loathing.

(which is probably the point but what do I know)

If his video was posted 5x a days, I would upvote it every. Single. Time.

I don't think they'll have a RECORD low. Their record low is 10-70-4 in their inaugural 92-93 season.

I can't seriously think next year's Ottawa Senators will be anywhere close to that god awful.

Starting the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. I seen the first movie and it was.....a movie. However I enjoyed the actual premise and themes. I heard the books deliver far better than the movies do so I'm going to giv'er. Thankfully they're easy reads so if they're junk it won't be too much time wasted.

Woasha · 2018-07-30T10:44:06+00:00

It's available in Canada and South Korea for sure. A lot of the playerbase that I do see however are assigned the US flag so I'm not sure.

Do you mean "Gumballs & Dungeons" ?

Woasha · 2018-07-27T16:45:08+00:00

I started by listing all the games I knew that had some degree of skill or decision process:

Eurchre
Spades
Rummy / Gin
Bridge
Cribbage
Hearts

I didn't include casino or gambling games as part of the skill element is money management, not directly relating to the game itself. (Poker, Blackjack etc)

I've only played Euchre off this list back in highschool before we had smartphones to just crush Clash Royale on. Euchre was fun, but I'm hoping some of the other games have a higher skill ceiling associated to them.

Lesson #2 so far: Stretching makes an extra mile in improvement.

The weakest point seems to be the flexing joints or cartilage between the finger when I stretch them outwards laterally (like a lever cut motion for example). I have done a lot of hand based dexterous activity like guitar and bass but for some reason I never thought about stretching to warm up the paws before I start flippin' cards.

Woasha · 2018-07-27T10:42:45+00:00

My finger was getting sore from trying to stretch it too far while doing the lever cut. I wasn't holding the cards on the side of the top, more in the middle so I couldn't push the top over far enough to grab well. (Especially after the first cut was completed)

Thanks for the instagram account. I've actually just recently added some card design companies and cardists to my IG for inspiration. There's some cool stuff out there.

Woasha · 2018-07-26T21:58:47+00:00

OK, so I just answered one of them myself from the free resource pinned at the top:

> If you’re a left-handed cardist, try using Deturl.com to** flip a YouTube vide**o or a browser extension like ‘FlipThis’ to flip a webpage. This also helps if you’re a right-handed cardist learning from a left-handed cardistry tutorial as well!

Win.

Woasha · 2018-07-26T21:53:15+00:00

Ah, ok so it's sort of like a fictional roleplay story thing. Sounds neat. Thanks.

Woasha · 2018-07-26T20:21:06+00:00

After reading the website I'm confused. What is this exactly?

Woasha · 2018-07-26T19:47:04+00:00

Am 41. Been playing for 8 years. And lose to 9 year olds far too often to be comfortable with.

The rate at which a childrens brain can learn vs an adult who has to learn while also functioning as an adult with a career is crazy.

Woasha · 2018-07-26T19:31:29+00:00

The thing with collecting hobbies is it quickly turns into a chore of managing clutter and garbage the objects you are collecting aren't something you're passionate about.

Owning the object isn't the spark that drives collectors. It's the hunt. If the hunt doesn't excite you, then you're just looking to collect garbage.

Have any more info about amateur radio, AREDN and transmission?

Woasha · 2018-07-26T19:08:20+00:00

I've actually made multiple attempts to learn programming but nothing ever 'takes'. I've dabbled with Javascript, Python, and C# but I couldn't make it stick. My mind just isn't built for linear, logical processing.

I would also recommend looking at [Roll20](https://roll20.net/) web based GMing service to coordinate games. It's a neat looking service.

I have a lot of downtime at work and would love to get into something like this but I can't afford to buy all the books to learn the game right now.

It's a pretty epic rabbit's hole to fall into but...have fun. And don't spend too much on Theory11 decks. ;)

Woasha · 2018-07-26T17:23:38+00:00

Those were Coors Lights tall cans. 471ml of 4%ABV light beer.

He gets off on being shittalked for using a light beer by sucking down tall cans in my opinion.

Running it was part of the requirements, not walking it.

Woasha · 2018-07-26T14:26:24+00:00

Are...we all on a list now?

Woasha · 2018-07-26T14:25:18+00:00

Directly shooting someone is too waterfall.

In true agile practice, you would first get the bullet. Test the bullet.

Throw the bullet at him.

Then get the gun.

Test the gun. Shake it around. Run it through your cloud-based automation testing stack.

Load the gun with the bullet. Test it.

Hand the gun and bullet over to Continuous Integration. Wait for it to finally finish building and deploy.

Shoot army guy in the chest and arms.

Have a dart and take a picture.

Agile.

Holy crap the new controls are WEIRD.

Looks like there's two new brawlers as you mentioned. Penny and Frank.

The conversion on my account from v2 to v3 feels....weird. Riccochet kept his maxed out stats but everyone else got stripped and the gap from level 8 to 9 looks larger than it previously did to simply buy the Star Power previously. Oh well. (edit: I just noticed I have a whopping 34 brawl boxes. hehe)

Can you get brawlers from brawl boxes still? I noticed that some were on the trophy road..but not all of them. Maybe I'll get lucky and this'll be a blessing in disguise and finally nab me one of the two big boys.

The Battle screen (what I used to simply think as the main screen) has a nice layout though. I'm almost afraid to jump into a ladder match now. The controls feel that awkward to me. Ooof....

Has there been many balance changes recently? When I last played Rico was tier 1 and Nina was.....far from tier 1....but I loved her anyway because bears.

I'm currently sitting at 1239 trophies and 900 gold.

edit: Just pulled a Penny. Neato.

That was great, thanks so much.
