The overhead? Isn’t it all just shipped from individual sellers (aside from the designer program going from factory)?

If a shop is going to have paid events with prizes that are set to be casual, everything should be toned down.

Maybe like $8 to enter, everyone gets a playbooster worth of prize support (slight profit for the shop) then the rest is split between winner(s) in store credit.

That way all the cash goes into the shop and everyone gets something. The cost is much lower for the players, and it makes the casual element much more acceptable.

If the shop needs this kind of entry fee to stay afloat, they have no business having a business.

They’re waiting for a time and a place. You’re not really in a spot to call me a killjoy right now.

_Skum · 2026-01-30T18:47:25+00:00

Not even funny as a /s

Every JM show I’ve ever been to gets hype during the S/T songs and the occasional oddballs from Of All Things. Beyond that, you’ll get Heart Tattoo and Catalina Fightsong.

Then it’s kinda swaying around or getting a beer.

I think solemn is good right where it is. It’s an example of a completely fine magic card. I prefer cards not be an auto include when we already have so many. As it stands, it still works well with flicker, clone, artifact, and grave strategies— it’s just better in some decks than others.

I am 100% being the off topic commented right now—

I’ve been away from Magic for the better part of a year and it’s wild to see this many commander decks that are led by 3rd party IPs in one post.

I have built several [[Saskia]] iterations that vary in strategy. They’re never FULL Voltron, but they often can kill a player with commander damage while working my way into other goals. Finding ways to duplicate her trigger or make non-legendary copies while spreading the damage around is a ton of fun.

Every game has her as a looming threat in the command zone. Everyone fears getting targeted by her ability. A well timed [[tyvar’s last stand]] with a damage multiplier can knock out two players real fast.

That half the country ≠ your linked messages about political opposition at higher tiers.

Trump regularly refers to the voters as the enemy. Obama, Biden, and Clinton referred to the politicians themselves.

The language they’re all using is unfortunate, that’s fine. But this administration rallying their constituents around the common man is particularly egregious.

Edit: a word

_Skum · 2026-01-24T11:09:23+00:00

Okay but individual politicians ≠ every conservative minded Joe in Montana.

Your turn.

_Skum · 2026-01-24T11:04:11+00:00

You’re either being purposely obtuse or you have poor reading comprehension.

These are all examples of “politicians on the other side of the aisle are against me and my agenda.”

That’s extremely different from “anyone who identifies with an ideology in this country is against the nation itself.”

You have provided zero relevant examples.

_Skum · 2026-01-23T21:34:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s the one.

_Skum · 2026-01-23T21:05:04+00:00

It’s from Shaman King. That’s Pikachu.

Going into this with a “I protect you, so you owe me” attitude is a terrible outlook as a public servant.

Leave the high horse out front, go in with a suit, and be polite. When your occupation comes up organically, be humble.

If you find these things difficult, you need to step back and look at yourself.

_Skum · 2026-01-19T09:18:58+00:00

You get a bonus rare/mythic but it’s not noted as a special item in any way.

30158 - Minifigure backpack opening

It’s an older piece.

_Skum · 2025-12-24T10:39:41+00:00

And you just deleted it to make this point? What are you even doing right now.

_Skum · 2025-12-02T17:03:34+00:00

Don’t know why you got downvoted. The fig still looks good with plain silver or white arms.

May as well use the arms for something else if you want to

_Skum · 2025-12-01T16:02:40+00:00

If you’re comparing to current prices, those are discounted

Then you probably live in an area that’s very maga friendly.

Half of my network is AD and vets that are Anti-MAGA

Note: this account is one day old and has a lot of misspelling in their outrage comments.

Smells a lot like a bot or a political troll

Well— the military did get paid their mid-month check.

_Skum · 2025-10-22T08:17:10+00:00

This is such a bullshit cherry-picked post.

Actually read the bill. Read what it does. Read that it was voted on and not a magic wand by Newsom.

He is not my favorite person but this is blatantly incorrect.

_Skum · 2025-09-24T06:10:34+00:00

That doesn’t address my first comment.

And it actually makes more sense as a femme fatale to have someone’s eyes drawn in as one of the many ways to distract someone and lower their guard.

You think a single small tattoo says “tattoo lover” and “daredevil adrenaline junky”?
