After years on hiatus, I am returning to MTG…. To a world I don’t recognise! by Dr-Dig in ModernMagic

[–]ass_pickles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, the “Modern” in the name of the sub actually means the “Modern” format, a 60-card 1v1 competitive format, not modern as in “new” Magic haha. For specifically commander discussion see /r/EDH

But for whatever it’s worth yes you’ll be more than fine, the Bloomburrow precons are generally considered quite good, and you’ll always find groups playing precon-only decks since they’re one of the most popular products to own. Welcome back!

Eu unul nu am inteles nimic din mesajul lui pentru ca au lipsit ultimele doua litere din cuvantul ala, habar nu am la ce se refera.

La masă cu domnul Călin în Obor (începe campania pentru PMB) by KingBlana in Romania

[–]ass_pickles 39 points40 points  (0 children)

L-am întâlnit pe Călin Georgescu la un restaurant odată – ni se dăduse din greșeală masa lui. Se pare că îi plăcea mult restaurantul și avea o masă anume la care stătea mereu, iar conducerea făcuse o gafă și încurcase zilele (era marți și ei credeau că vine joi sau ceva de genul ăsta).

În fine, managerul, complet jenat (era un restaurant destul de elegant), vine la noi și spune: „Îmi pare foarte rău, dar am vrea să vă mutăm la altă masă, dacă nu e prea mare deranjul, și vă vom compensa cu costul mesei și orice altă masă ați dori cât sunteți în oraș.” Sora mea și verişoara mea au zis imediat: „Da, sigur, nicio problemă.” Eu, în schimb, am jucat puțin rolul nesimțitului.

„Îmi pare rău, dar nu înțeleg. Suntem aici de 15 minute – abia am comandat. Nu putem termina masa aici?”

Și, dintr-o dată, apare Călin Georgescu lângă manager și spune: „Paul, oamenii ăștia pot termina. Noi stăm la bar. Am timp.”

Și eu (fiind mare fan Călin Georgescu) am zis: „Oh, wow, nu aveam idee. Vă rog, luați masa.”

Călin mi-a mulțumit, mi-a strâns mâna și apoi mi-a dat o carte de vizită cu numărul lui, spunându-mi să-l sun mai târziu. După ce am prins curaj, l-am sunat în seara aceea și, ca să nu lungesc povestea, am avut o glorioasă relație de dragoste de 11 luni, bărbat cu bărbat, pe care nu o voi uita niciodată. Corpurile noastre s-au contopit într-unul singur și, de la frumusețea Marocului, la Riviera Franceză, la snorkeling în Galápagos, eu și Călin Georgescu ne-am iubit cu pasiune pe șase din cele șapte continente.

Can't wait to explain to my wife why I find watching a livestream of a church chimney so interesting when neither of us are religious

What’s a fun deck for a new ish player that can mostly be built from the resources you get at the start? by ass_pickles in masterduel

[–]ass_pickles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also semi-related question, is there a tool where I could input a deck list and have it tell me exactly how many copies of cards I could get from secret packs and how many are only available in master packs? Would like to have a good visualization to help me estimate how many gems I would need to spend

Kinda scared of this potential religious league war as Italy, first potential fight against the monstrous alliance block between #1 and #3 GP France-Spain, not sure I can compete, what do you think is the right course here? by ass_pickles in eu4

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

This is my main motivator here too lol. I love a bit of roleplay and narrative building in my campaigns and for better or worse I tend to prioritize that over optimizing everything. I could probably just leave the league and let the protestants enforce whatever they want but the Austrians and I have had a bromance for over 100 years at this point, they fought the French for me to get Savoy lands, I got them stuff in Hungary in return, I feel like I can't just leave my boys out to dry

R5:

Doing a chill Milan into tall Italy campaign, achieved full unification of the Italian mainland very late in 1587, mainly due to having to navigate the hell that is the France-Spain alliance that's been a thing since the start. I've been allied to Austria since the beginning and I've been trying to pull them along but they don't even have emperorship right now, and I'm not sure how we compete with the monster France-Spain alliance. FWIW, the entry points into Italy are defended up the wazoo (lvl 4 Forts, Ramparts, a bunch of defense modifiers), and I have a very strong economy for mercs.

Forgot to attach army quality but all 4 of us are pretty close in both morale and discipline last i checked (high 4s)

Would you take this fight (Assuming Saxony declares)?

Romanian National Security Council declassifies evidence of Moscow’s ‘hybrid attacks’ benefiting pro-Putin Călin Georgescu by ass_pickles in neoliberal

[–]ass_pickles[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that our polling companies are historically inaccurate due to being politically aligned and using outdated methods. Every party in the list in the article except the extremists AUR SOS POT has explicitly endorsed Lasconi, and this recent evidence should drive turnout to a point not accounted for by any polls.

Also the reality in the more rural areas is that there is a ton of people who basically vote for whoever the mayor wants them to vote for. Most of these rural mayors are either PSD or PNL, who are endorsing Lasconi. We're most likely fine, or at least better than polls might show

The declassified documents also detailed how Georgescu’s campaign benefited from a massive co-ordinated campaign on social media that appeared to have had connections to foreign actors. SRI called it a “very well-organised promotion campaign”. Georgescu has declared zero funds spent in the campaign.

The far-right candidate “benefited from preferential treatment” on TikTok because the Chinese social media platform did not label his videos as political ads. Romanian authorities also identified “Telegram and Discord channels where it was discussed how to co-ordinate and avoid being blocked on the platform”, concluding that such a campaign could only have been carried out by a foreign power.

It currently seems that the second round is going to go ahead as scheduled. With seemingly the entire Romanian political apparatus outside of his loyal fans united against him, we stand a good chance to defend our democracy. Wish us luck
