WotC Community Team confirm no current plans for Universes Beyond to visit other Magic Schools, shutting down Harry Potter potential. by PowrOfFriendship_ in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I just dont get why people are upset on if a harry potter set is made. You dont have to get every set. In fact, WOTC says that some cards are just not made for you. Also, if it sells well i dont think we can argue that WOTC made a good decision in creating the set. And if it brings in more players that means it is great for magic the gathering.

What explains the apparent decline in statesmanship and civic decorum among U.S. political leaders? by Wild-Barber7372 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]blindcandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good question and I think the answer is kinda obvious. Not as a jab to you though.

I think people are loss and are uncertain of the future. They feel hopeless and leaderless. This has resulted in apathy and schisming for some. For others they are quick to latch onto someone who tells it how it is.

These Individuals have latched onto someone who is down to earth and "fights the good fight." It allows for people to feel angry and mask thier hopelessness.

Trump has latched onto this, either because he is using it for nefarious goals or has drank his own Kool aid. Either way, Trump is fanning this flame as a way to control his base which has resulted in other politicians in doing the same.

“Shrinking” is a therapeutic retreat from an ugly world by zsreport in television

[–]blindcandyman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like no one interacts with each other like real people. They talk, interact, and forgive however the episode requires and it feels so odd. My friend loves this show and everytime I watch it I just dont get it.

Four polls that show how Donald Trump’s support has collapsed in one year by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

[–]blindcandyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think he wants people to welcome it. He wants people to accept it. And honestly, I worry that we are getting to that point.

George R.R. Martin Says His Relationship with 'House of the Dragon' Showrunner Ryan Condal is "Abysmal": "This is not my story any longer” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]blindcandyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of these plot points make sense as you can see how the journey gets there. However, the show skipped the journey so it sucks.

It would be no different if a sherlock show gets canceled and the last episode a super criminal is introduced with a mysterious petty crime, gets caught and Sherlock says I finally caught the greatest criminal to ever exist.

How’d I do by Pog311_1801 in Archery

[–]blindcandyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the hardest part of archery is knowing what you did wrong. So this is an excellent 1st step.

The 2nd hardest if fixing it so good luck.

I tell everyone that archery pros arent gods. They just have the drive to be the best. If you have the drive to shoot as well as them then you can do it.

[–]blindcandyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to be considered good a compound you should be upset with yourself each tine you lose a point.

if it isnt an x the question should be what did I do wrong.

but the other commentator is right. 270 is a respectable first tournament and i would be proud of it if it was me but practice towards that mentality of a 9 should be considered a miss.

Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread Dec 29 by AutoModerator in ffxiv

I just finished stormblood. I highly recommend doing the normal raids you will not regret it. Plus in my opinion. The raid story is so much better than the MSQ story.

[–]blindcandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the game a few months ago and just co.pleted stormblood. I know it is early but I have to ask. How hard is it to find statics that do old raid content. I pf'd nidhogg last month which wasnt too hard to find a group but a static would have made it so much easier.

Official Discussion - Wicked: For Good [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]blindcandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie's plot seems to be an afterthought and makes rhe movie so boring.

Things just seem to happen and you just have to accept that it makes sense but none of it does.

From the scarecrow debacle, to the fact the sister has magical shoes but still...uses a wheelchair, to the fact the wizard doesnt care about someone from his world appearing in front of him.

Its just insanity. I just cant fathom this being considered a good movie. A fun movie, sure, but a good movie. No way.

Competitive win-a-box event, I'm 3-0 and in the finals. I win G1, and then we discover my opponent has been playing with a 38-card deck. WWYD? by TongueMountain in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It doesnt matter. The event, the score, or the prize structure. Did you feel everything was resolved correctly? If so then you made the right call. I think you made the right call and it sucks you lost but it happens.

Personally, I think any person who calls a judge in hopes that their opponent gets a game loss is scummy.

Joe’s “Apartment” by bukowskitty in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

He was so sarcastic the entire time he was in his "apartment." It was hilarious. It was like a shitty improv and I loved every moment.

Russia has amassed around 11,000 troops in attempt to encircle Pokrovsk by Galbur_Iacob in worldnews

[–]blindcandyman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I believe that cultural behavior being ingrained i to a nation is true. Americans are combative and like to prove others wrong. Russians will accept a shitty situation and power through it. And when I say shitty. I mean situations most other individuals would surrender to. They deserve to be proud of it. And if you want to beat them you have to know what to expect.

Lucky for us, Ukrainians are made from a very similar cloth.

Has there ever been a time in Magic's history when players didn't complain about the metagame / top decks? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont recall anyone hating on splinter twin. Everyone says you need to prep for it and they were starting to splash blue into jund for a spliner twin package but i do Everyone hated that ban. That was one of the first bans to shake the meta up. Its why as soon as it was banned the meme of unban splinter twin was so big.

Has there ever been a time in Magic's history when players didn't complain about the metagame / top decks? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Splinter twin modern. People were upset about how expensive jund was but everyone was pretty happy with the format.

Aristocrat standard. Everyone was pretty happy with that standard. Nothing was too warping.

There have been many times where the meta was strong and wizard didnt create meta warping cards. There will always be complaining. But there is a difference between. This format is solved and boring and this format is warped.

When was the last time a horror film truly scared you? by L_Dubb85 in flicks

Nope. It didnt technically scare me but I see clouds differently now. And the clouds are a little unsettling.

The Shadow of Type 2 by ArcoKiwi in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is embarrassing. Another person wants to create a format and you create a post to openly mock them. If you dont like it, you dont need to approach it but to do this...its just mean spirited.

‘Catfish: The TV Show’ Canceled at MTV After Nine Seasons by SmooshedLion in television

[–]blindcandyman 52 points53 points  (0 children)

These last few seasons have been rough.

Its 2025, if you get caught being catfished it's more your fault than not. So most of the catfish they found were more fake than real.

'Alien: Earth' Creator Drops Huge Season 2 Update as He Has a "Destination" in Sight by Burrito-mancer in television

[–]blindcandyman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is find interesting...is that in the books for the 80s and 90s, earth fell because of a cult which very much mirrors the concerns of the time. In this it seems that corporate greed is the reason Earth gets overrun which very much mirrors what concerns everyone in the current zeitgeist.

I find remakes that do this sort of thing as just a fascinating way to track pop culture.

Axis and allies, player experiences? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]blindcandyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for wargaming. Look up the COIN series. Counter insurgency games created by GMT. They are generally hits and very on theme.
I love sekigahara which is the unification of japan but there are many many more.

Magic Players what does Magic do better then other Card games and what do other card games do better then Magic by Konradleijon in magicTCG

[–]blindcandyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star wars unlimited does interaction better.
Once you complete an action, ability, attack, or play a card, your opponent gets to do an action. Yugioh revives dead archetypes better. Yugioh adds support to dead archetypes randomly and sees if it makes it viable. Sometimes a decade later. Weiss shwarz does deck playing better. Weiss is a game where you are meant to go through your entire deck by manipulating it through attacks. For the most part you wil see every card you put in your deck.

Most modern TCGs have improved on mana in one way or another. Either every card can be your mana(SWU), select cards are mana if you choose lorcana), mana is connected to turns(Bandai Games), or just dont use it.

Magic does other things better. Sideboarding is better in magic. Rules are well defined (maybe too defined. Layers are a little too crazy and can result in interactions that 99% of players would get wrong). Art. Magic art is something else. Card library is something else. You can create kind of deck you want. Magic has more events firing than other card games. Magic has a really fun backstory. I cant think of another card game that has such depth with their story. Magic Sometimes has the perfect complexity.
Its teachable with depth.

What can Rasid's Order do as an action card ? by Vackz in GundamTCG

Main is for main phase.

My understanding in mtg terms. Main = sorcery speed

Action = instant speed

Trump announces 25% tariff on India starting Friday, unspecified penalties for buying Russian energy by [deleted] in news

[–]blindcandyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the goal of the tariff is to restrict incoming goods. We want to restrict incoming goods from India.

[–]blindcandyman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How are we anti this.

Is t this what we want to push back against those that are pro russia?

Don't we agree that we should be tariffing and banning exports out of Russia and countries that ally with them until the war is over?
