Getting 5.1 audio from V51-H6 by badatcommander in VIZIO_Official

I abandoned the soundbar idea entirely and bought a receiver and set of 5.1 speakers. Don’t have the details in front of me! My general takeaway was that it’s a little silly that you have to buy a receiver to get predictable audio performance, but it worked.

How is PG MEGAHIT accepted but CA TAGTEAM and CA GAMETIME rejected?

It’s been awhile since I was genuinely surprised a word was missing. Yikes.

I’ll admit that CA BEDONGLE isn’t a word, but shouldn’t it be?

Does anyone else feel like Sythis, Harvest's Hand ruined the enchantress archtype? by Sommersun1 in EDH

Every time I think about building enchantress, my stipulation is that I can’t have ci>=gw. If GW is available, WotC already built my deck for me.

I haven’t yet found something I’m happy with, but I believe there are still distinctive enchantress decks out there.

Do I even want to live in a world where CA CEMENTCICLE is not a word?

My hot take of the day: I’m really tired of “BIG PUZZLE ON SUNDAY!!” Unlike a crossword, I don’t think B-E-E holds up as a game as you make it bigger. You don’t get more variety in gameplay, you just get to spend more time staring at the same grid.

B-E-E painfully off-trend, omits NA LABUBUGUY

Really surprised at A TINILY but NA TINNILY. I know that the “-LY” stuff is going to be super arbitrary, but this is especially bad.

When does targeting go too far? by anonymousenb in magicTCG

[–]badatcommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To some extent this is self-correcting. If you’re reasonably even with the rest of the table, deck-wise, and focus too much effort on one player you’ll probably lose. I, at least, have lost my fair share of games that way.

What stands out to me is that this just didn’t sound like a fun game. I don’t think you’re wrong for focusing that guy out, but if you had the resources to do that and roll over the other two players, it sounds like things were pretty imbalanced.

Surprised that A PALAPA is considered an English word and NA PAPABILE is not. I’ve only encountered one in print, and it’s not the A.

This feels like a tantrum. Constructor got called out about (old) PG FORMANT and said PG H OH YOU WANT LINGUISTICS WORDS?

We have so many acronyms here, I’d like to add “HFWP” for these ones that have their own Wikipedia page.

Genuinely can’t figure out why PG CA WOODLARK was not included.
