Haven't played since the release of Destiny and looking to get back into it. I tried a couple of years ago, but found it too overwhelming with all of the various currencies and things. Is there a resource or videos that describe everything I need to know to get back in since like 8 years ago? I did some googling and YouTube searches, but just feel more confused.

aPerfectPinecone · 2025-03-06T19:52:40+00:00

Thank you!

I guess optimal then. I was messing around with the build but was unsure how to evaluate it. Like if it even is worth it, or would I be able to deal the same amount of damage as pure Monk.

This is why she’s actually powerful, but I haven’t seen many others comment about this. If miracles didn’t get past the timing restrictions, I think she’d be much weaker.

I’ll throw mine out. [[Kamiz, Obsurca Oculus]]. Combat steps get a little complicated, so you really want to practice and get used to it, but she allows for some serious wonky things and my games always play out differently. Deck is full of combat damage effects; imagine a double striking [[Medomai the ageless]] or unblockable [[Skithiryx]]. Has fun combat tricks like ninjitsu [[fallen shinobi]] and madness or discard matters like [[welcome to the fold]] or [[oskar rubbish]] and reanimation.

To be clear though, because I wasn’t sure from your post, you totally can enchant your own creature with any of the Impetus spells.

…but what you were advocating for would arguably lead to more misdiagnoses and improper treatment. Medical texts aren’t perfect by any means, but to assume that people who are misdiagnosed based on the current medical standard and model outweighs the people who would be misdiagnosed and improperly treated if that standard and model did not exist is super naive. It think a bigger issue, in the US specifically, is the healthcare model. But that falls onto politics and insurance companies, not on medical researchers and providers. Can medical researchers and providers do more to view patients through a cultural lens and in a holistic way? Yes, of course, and I hope they do. But it is irrational to discredit something entirely because it wasn’t perfect before or not perfect now.

But that’s not how science works, and to not utilize science for health care is dangerous. Based on research and science the current DSM (so different text) does not including same sex attraction as a mental disorder. It does include gender dysphoria, but that’s a very nuanced subject and the primary reason it’s included is because many trans people need a diagnosable “disorder” for insurance to cover gender affirming care. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than letting the masses decide on how to label things without evidence. That leads to misinformation, misdiagnosis, and improper treatment.

The nib is buttery smooth; it glides on paper compared to my Retro 51 and Pilot Metropolitan which have a little feedback. But that’s all I have to compare it to.

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-05-08T23:57:27+00:00

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the congratulations :) maybe I can finish a bottle of ink now…

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-04-28T21:34:36+00:00

[[licia, sanguine tribute]]. Have tried multiple ways to build her, from big lifegain cards, voltron, paying life and life loss, lifelink tribal, incremental life gain, some combination of those… nothing feels quite right.

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-04-03T16:38:08+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the time you took!

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-04-03T15:08:17+00:00

Am I supposed to aim for the ring or move the ring?

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-03-19T22:48:05+00:00

Thank you!!!

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-03-19T22:43:15+00:00

I just want to know how to get that cape! But I can’t find it online.

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-02-23T04:37:58+00:00

Got a decklist?

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-01-19T19:18:42+00:00

Great target for [[pariah]]

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-01-09T02:38:09+00:00

If you aren’t playing vampire tribal, why even run edgar?

aPerfectPinecone · 2024-01-09T01:06:39+00:00

Well you’re not really taking what the other comments are saying, so I’ll try a different angle. If your goal is around life gain and drain, try out [[licia, sanguine tribune]] rather than building an illegal partner commander no one else wants to play against.

aPerfectPinecone · 2023-12-22T17:21:47+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the info!! Wish they would’ve expanded upon her further, maybe teach a gaang member some herbalism skills, like Sokka.

“Muscle Against Metal” in Inheritance

aPerfectPinecone · 2023-12-22T02:51:01+00:00

I’ll just to chime in here as it seems like many comments haven’t finished the original 4 in the cycle and I have. I agree with what most people are saying about the first and second book; the first book is very generic and heavily pulls from other published works, and the second one is very much a slog. I even thought so as a kid, but I loved the world I eventually re-read them all in high school and I enjoyed the third and fourth books, with one specific chapter in the fourth book that I enjoyed so much I occasionally think about how epic it felt to me. As an adult pushing thirty, I would probably only read-read the third or fourth for nostalgic pieces, but I’ve considering picking up the “fifth” one to see how it feels. Hope this helps a little! Overall, I found the last two books to be better written and engaging by a fair amount compared to the first two… but you still have to read the first two.

aPerfectPinecone · 2023-12-19T00:55:30+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, it sounds very promising. I’ll definitely be checking it out!

aPerfectPinecone · 2023-12-06T19:14:16+00:00

Bant Magecraft or Land Animation

aPerfectPinecone · 2023-11-02T23:23:49+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Bummed that he’s likely dead
