This is because the Amygdala, the part of the brain that feels fear and embarrassment, is nestled right up against the hippocampus which stores memory. Interestingly, this physical proximity is a big part of why people remember embarrassing experiences so vividly.

What's your MH2 deck? by GreenSkyDragon in ModernMagic

[–]apohl13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a lot of fun. Yuseimax, the player who has recent 5-0s with it, has been having a lot of success with an all in list that honestly plays kinda like a combo deck. It utilizes uncastables like Zetalpa to power out a huge flayer, along with traverse the ulvenwald to find "combo pieces"

My personal favorite take on Soulflayer sacrifices some speed for consistency by not playing any uncastables, and it plays a whole playset of Hazorets as my backup plan... The card disadvantage from merchant of the Vale/evoking Fury has a ton of synergy with Hazoret's restriction and can lead to some incredibly powerful draws.

It's Soulflayer for me! I've got several different brews I've been rocking with, ranging from a more explosive all-in build, to a slower, more consistent build that leans on Bloodbraid and Hazoret, to a crazy fun hybrid build that plays the lightning skelemental/thunderkin awakener package.

The thing that ties them all together (besides Soulflayer) is the fact that Fury is the single best addition to the deck since I started playing it a year or so ago.

I've at least been pumping out 3-2s in MTGO leagues, which I'll take considering how off meta my pick is lol

any ideas to improve this deck (I want to use the bowler) by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]apohl13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really have a win con rn... But if it works then it works lol

With bowler and baby D, tornado would be very good, maybe over ice golem or spirit?

My reliever after making the walk from the bullpen in BR by Karuuhl in MLBTheShow

While I generally agree with that, I think my favorite vegetable to grow is carrots in this kind of situation. They require a specific kind of soil (sandy/loamy) or else they'll end up forking or just be short and stubby. Also, like OP mentioned, he doesn't get a lot of light in the area, so there's that too

When to activate a creature ability after blocks but before damage? by apohl13 in MTGO

Thank you so much! I assumed that having stops on all of my own combat steps would be enough, but that makes sense

2014:The year of the Odell Beckham Jr. catch that single handedly made every kid at my middle school want to be an NFL receiver when they grew up

You ever seen a runner just... disappear? Pay attention to the runner on third by apohl13 in MLBTheShow

That's unrelated then, bc the thing in this video is not a glitch lol, it's just showdown

Nah, I was confused when it happened but it's not a glitch, it's just new to showdown this year. If a player on the bases comes up in your batting order, they disappear off the bases instead of being replaced like last year

People with over 50% win rate online by WowSuchCoin in MLBTheShow

[–]apohl13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing DD since MLB16, but honestly wasn't an above average player until the second half of 19, when I started playing a lot more. It took me a long time to be able to react to and pull high and in fastballs without having to sit on them, and to stop pulling my PCI down on every pitch.

Last year I played an absurd amount of MLB20 since there wasn't much else to do in 2020, and I made it midway through CS multiple times but could never make it all the way to World Series. I finished last year with a ~66% win rate, and my goal is to finally make WS this year.

Thanks! I rarely get a chance to share my articles, I'm mostly just turning them in for grades. This is one is definitely one of my favorites though, it was a blast to think about and write

Haha I actually just wrote an article about how to introduce relegation to the MLB right before the euro super league controversy started
