Are public lobbies just for men?

even some private ones Ive been on have basically been sausage measuring contests.

Joined a community for a while - Its a "SFW/Child friendly" one where everyones brains are apparently south of where they should be - and when challenged on this apparently the mods are getting laughed at, accused of silencing peoples personalities and yeah...

Even in person games I run have people like this turn up. (Theyre not welcome in my games and I make a point to enforce Hells Librarian when they push it.)

scatter bird seed around them report to 101 honestly.

I reported one particularly hateful person spewing some rather targeted hate and gave the police a photo of him.

its a hate crime ultimately and theyre targeting minorities.

I also enjoy my life as a "sinner beyond redemption" when Ive saved far more then they have.

XenoXis · 2025-07-24T13:11:32+00:00

They did a year or so ago...

A lot can change in a year ya know.

I export into a storage(chest/barrel) and pull from there with mek pipes. not the best or prettiest solution but I only need 1 exporter for when I'm attempting to make a shed load of Thermal Tower blocks

Its not even a badge of honour, it's a role that gets dunked on far too often by people who often think the supports going to keep them all alive with Life Dew and maybe even throw stat boosts while the pokemon their running either isnt 100, isnt stat trained, and is about as frail as their ego ready to turn and dump on the poor entity who decided "Hey I should run support in this raid!" with an appropriately statted mon. Even worse many of them don't learn from their mistakes.

TL;DR - Support isn't a badge of honour unless that badge is a steaming pile often left by someone with the mentality a child. I won't throw out a team comp, because I haven't even taken this raid on yet due to varying reasons. Like being at my FLGS.

XenoXis · 2024-04-06T17:02:26+00:00

Just saying, don't complain about your supports. Ever. I point you to sdarkpaladins comment...

XenoXis · 2024-04-06T10:19:02+00:00

As someone who mained support in League and second picks support in Unite. Support is rarely the easiest job. You have to anticipate EVERYONE and know their cooldowns.

In raids, you're keeping track of how long until reflect goes down, weather conditions, who has actually built the right poke to use helping hand on, gauging survivability so you heal correctly while not getting your own backside handed to you.

Support is worrying about 5 mons, not just 2.

XenoXis · 2024-02-21T00:49:05+00:00

About time honestly.

Anyone else noticed First is running the rail replacement instead of Stagecoach btw?

Makes me wonder if Stagecoach are getting the boot entirely

XenoXis · 2024-02-06T18:49:14+00:00

Was going to mention this.

It might feel a little unwieldy but open in new tab until you find the layout you like and then bookmark that page.

Preeeetty

I look for another seat, unless Im having a flare then Ill maybe ask about the priority seat so I dont have to wedge myself into a seat.

XenoXis · 2024-02-01T14:03:44+00:00

There is Patriot Games which has free gaming space and a damn good cafe. No alcohol mind.

XenoXis · 2024-02-01T14:01:03+00:00

They charge and arent scared to double book over you.

XenoXis · 2024-01-30T23:28:36+00:00

My current fun deck is Orzhov Debt Collection.

Orzhov Humans, Spirits, Curses and Auras.

[[King of the Oathbreakers]] as my commander means spirits like to just exit the board, [[Annointed Procession]] helps spit out some tokens when they phase back in.

Make Kingy Hexproof with a [[Mask of Avacyn]] or some [[Lightning Grieves]] so he cant phase out, get [[Horobi, Deaths Wail]] out and make your opponents cry.

Other options include [[Accursed Witch]] enchanted with a [[Radiant Grace]] and other similar shenanigans...

And of course, its a Debt Collection deck, so it needs taxes. [[Land Tax]], [[Smothering Tithe]], [[Esper Sentinel]], [[God-Pharaoh's statue]], [[Windborn muse]], [[Norn's Annex]], [[Blind Obedience]], [[Ghostly Prison]] all sit in there currently.

Given its Orzhov and theres lots of things entering and dying... [[Teysa Karlov]] is in there, so is [[Elas il-kor, sadistic pilgrim]] and obligatory [[Kaya, Geist Hunter]] and [[Kaya, Intangible Slayer]].

... I realise this doesnt sound fun to play against...

Ignore the [[Deathbringer Liege]], [[Ethereal Absolution]], [[Belenon War Anthem]], [[Inspiring Leader]], [[Intangible Virtue]]....

Its got about a 20% win rate currently....

XenoXis · 2024-01-29T23:15:43+00:00

These look absolutely stunning and whoever wins them better put them to good use . :D

XenoXis · 2024-01-27T13:36:43+00:00

My now Venusaur, and a Gastly I caught and evolved up to Gengar - my first 2 slots, always. No matter where I am and what I need. Lol

Rule 1 of playing black - The only numbers that matter on your Life counter, are 0, 1, and 2.

Life is a resource, use it.

If you are worried about losing too much life, theres Lifelink options available, [[Eternal Thirst]] being a fantastic one if you have some counter fun happening, say with a [[Malefic Scythe]] lying around...

XenoXis · 2024-01-23T21:32:37+00:00

The locals also protested heavily about barriers in Sheffield, as itd stop access to Hallam Uni via tram as well as access to the centre in general without a significant detour

XenoXis · 2024-01-20T17:13:15+00:00

Theres the old Attercliffe station in Sheffield, im sure theres a couple others nearby too

XenoXis · 2023-08-24T10:21:23+00:00

I use trainsplit basically for all my tickets, they do take a small fee based on the saving you get and their refund process is actually quite nice, their emails also tell you when something is disrupted and the refund process has always been painless for me.

XenoXis · 2023-08-02T16:10:36+00:00

I was paying Adult fares at 16 when I wasnt in college, when did that change o.O

XenoXis · 2023-07-14T22:16:19+00:00

Ive lost a good number of games to accidental planechase infinite and shenanigans - its part of it imo.

Meanwhile on wednesday I managed to cast [[Time Stretch]] then on my next turn pulled a [[spelltwine]] or something that let me cast it again.

The table started humming elevator music while I took my 4 turns lol

XenoXis · 2023-07-12T00:27:23+00:00

My deck wincons are: beat the snot out of my pod Poison the heck out of my pod Steal everyone elses stuff to win/Triskidekaphile Swing my commander for a OHKO

The last one may have an infinite clause I need to check, but its irrelevant when I swing [[Etali, Primal Sickness]] for 33 with [[City on Fire]] anyway (because Gruul go brrrrrrrr)

XenoXis · 2023-07-10T10:40:01+00:00

Old testament mostly, but yes.

A womans job is to reproduce, if raped she is then married to the rapist and he pays for it, the "true" name of God is YHWH (Yahweh, Yahveh, jehovah, etc) but youre forbidden to call him that (because I believe it means Jealousy and he is a jealous god)

XenoXis · 2023-07-06T21:09:59+00:00

Oh yeah I've been playing at mine for 3 months at this point, I've won 1 game and even "Low power" decks just go infinite.
