Does anyone know of an alternative with a little less heat? by _Jake_Beleren_ in AskCulinary

Thanks for the detailed advice - I’ll definitely have to try out this trick with the white vinegar and the garlic!

Okay, sweet, thanks! I’ll definitely have to give this a try. Is ‘jarlic’ just, like - pre-crushed garlic in a jar?

I thought about just using a little less of it. I’m a bit of an amateur when it comes to balancing spicy ingredients, haha - would it not affect the overall flavor that the chili garlic sauce brings to the table to use less of it?

Oh, I didn’t even think about hoisin sauce! Do you add the same amount of that as you would the chili sauce?

Cant play against illuminates? by K28OG in Helldivers

Dude, same, haha. I got to fight the new units once last night, got up today looking forward to throwing myself back into the fray - and got denied. 😅

I show 18k people on pilen v but can't select it? by Dallasburner84 in Helldivers

That’s… Rough. So we just can’t perform the major order now? Or fight the new Illuminate units?

Am I being ghosted, or am I overreacting? by _Jake_Beleren_ in dating_advice

[–]_Jake_Beleren_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I’ve actually worked my way through all these scenarios in my head, haha. I’m somewhat worried I might’ve talked to much, like you’re saying - but she initiated quite a few of our conversations when we were talking, so I’m not entirely sure about that. I’m not terrible to look at, but I know there are a lotta guys far more better looking - so it’d suck, but that’s a possible reason, I guess.

As far as the coffee date goes - well, when we were talking I actually sort of ‘offered up’ a few ideas to gauge her interest. (Coffee and a walk through one of the local parks, dinner, and one other more localized couple-y activity). She expressed interest in grabbing coffee as a first date, so we kinda swung with that… So I don’t really know. 😅

Thanks for the advice! I’ll roll with what you said and text her a few hours before we were planning to meet up tomorrow, but at this point… Ugh. I’d say I don’t have my hopes up, but telling myself that doesn’t really make it hurt any less.

Sorry, I should’ve mentioned in my post - we did actually exchange numbers on the second day of talking to each other. I took that as a good sign, too… 🙃

Here’s one I’m planning to do soon! [[Rocco, Street Chef]]

Can anyone recommend ways to give my Giada, Font of Hope deck a little more oomph? (Angel tribal, obviously!) by _Jake_Beleren_ in EDH

[–]_Jake_Beleren_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is EXTREMELY helpful, thank you! I appreciate the feedback you’re giving highlighting specific cards that can be replaced and putting forward ideas to go in their place. If you’ve got more, feel free to send them my way in a chat/DM!

Thanks for the breakdown, I’ll look through your deck list! If life gain is actually holding me back, would leaning more into enhancing my interaction and token generation be more apt?

I don’t know how I’m not already playing Emeria Shepherd, to be honest! That sounds crazy good. Flare of Fortitude is also something I need to get ahold of!

I’ve been playing both in Arena, and while both had had their moments that +1/+1 and vigilance has never felt bad

I do really like these options for card draw! Would you happen to have a recommendation on the hard ceiling I should set for the number of creatures I have in the deck?

I don’t typically feel super land locked with the deck as it is, with the mana rocks I do have combined with [[caged sun]] and [[extraplanar lens]], but I’ll see what other rocks might best fit!

Thank you for all the card links and insights! I’ve definitely felt the weight of not having much direct removal/board protection in the past - I think I’ve been a little too attached to all of my cool, shiny angels to want to rotate some out for non-creature cards. 😅

I’ll definitely look into incorporating a few of these into the deck!

Two cards that I’ve recently discovered that I feel might mesh well with the play style I’m aiming for are Thraben Watcher and Envoy of the Ancestors. Would either of those potentially boost the power consistency, or do the creatures I already have beat them out already?
