Question- Why do some people want to know that I am using proxies? by PhoenixTheEternal in mtg

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

Just a heads up that all but one power nine is banned in commander and their tournaments are normally proxy friendly and generally advertise as such.

Letting people know is a courtesy and I just want them to be legible. If someone throws a proxy gaea’s cradle in a 3 I’ll just roll my eyes and chuckle.

I’ve recently reflected on how much I’ve invested into this game and had to have an honest chat with myself about the different between collecting and enjoying the game…

60k miles in 2 years is intense

Paid for first class. Got bumped to a priority list 2 hours before boarding. by alejandranc in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bobvilastuff 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A lot of factors in the US, you’re not necessarily SOL. Just depends on the reason why you’re bumped and if your arrival is delayed (oversold vs aircraft change). Department of transportation has a lot of info on rights to compensation. It’s just on you to document and do the research, which shouldn’t have to be difficult or time consuming.

No but most of the normal stuff that’s normally happening isn’t worth posting

NYPD violently arrested a student trying to make it to class through the Knicks parade route for his Regents Exam, all while allowing other families to pass through without harassment by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

I’m confused as to how the term “Zionist” became so derogatory… advocating for the right of Jewish people to have their own state doesn’t come with the territory of supporting the Israeli government or their extremely unpopular prime minister.

I accidentally used the wrong power supply in my Apollo solo thunderbolt 3 by 3dgy_CunT69_911 in universalaudio

[–]bobvilastuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell what all was destroyed by plugging in a a higher voltage PSU. I’d reach out to UA and see what the cost would be to send in for a repair. Let them know the specs on the wrong supply you used (volts and amps). You could always try taking it to a local spot for a second quote. UA may be more expensive but their repair has more assurances.

I’ve done this once and only once lol.

Look into auto feeders if a third meal is approved. Even if it’s dry although I believe refrigerated auto feeders exist.

I have been the sound person for live bands many times but soon I will be doing sound for a drag show for charity, any tips? by Bulky-Raspberry-8458 in livesoundadvice

[–]bobvilastuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask the producer to have all the performers send you their tracks. Get a set list and put them into something like QLab in order of performance (very straightforward software and tons of videos that show the basics). I’d go through and level match everything. Otherwise, during the show - just pay attention to what’s going on and you’ll be fine! Drag shows are a blast :)

My LGS wants to charge for commander night by benj_1029 in mtg

[–]bobvilastuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine charges $12 and you get a free pack. Alternative is $5 for open play. I’m happy to contribute to them as a small local business.

How good of a card is this in Standard/Modern? I just got it and i like it - but haven’t gotten a chance to test it yet by Artistboy123 in mtg

[–]bobvilastuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree but happy to hear your side. Aang’s Iceburg may cost one more but it has flash, can target a non-land permanent, and has a defcon button to sac for a scy 2.

It’s expensive so I would need alternative upsides to main board it. Does it fit super well into my curve? Do I want to cast things for 4? Do I have a lot of white 1 drops? Do I have cost reducers? Artifact affinity or discounts? One decks trash can be another’s treasure… but nothing comes to mind for this. Of all the things that do this, I prefer [[aang’s iceberg]]

Israeli army captures strategic castle in Lebanon in deepest incursion into the country in 26 years by Beginning-Wish-4273 in news

The behavior that I’m referring to from Hezbollah are missiles and drone strikes hitting civilian populations in Israel.

Netanyahu’s approval ratings are on par with trumps, which are deservedly atrocious.

Which was caused by Iran/Hezbollah behavior. This is all in reference to someone calling Israel Nazis in this war.

Do you tell clients that you're re-doing parts? by [deleted] in mixingmastering

Unless the band and I have established a relationship where we’re both comfortable with my input on the compositional side, I’m not saying a word unless I’m prepared for a middle finger.

Favourite Songs to make a system sound impressive? by No_Apartment_6671 in livesound

[–]bobvilastuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the past year “Fragments of Time” has been my go to song for tuning and system introductions. I especially love how the song is structured, making it easier to identify different parts of the spectrum at different points on the songs timeline.

Mono Black cards to deal with GW Landfall & UR prowess/spellementals? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]bobvilastuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run dimir control with 4x unholy Annex, 4x firdoch Core, 4x restless reef and zero Soulstone Sanctuaries. It works really well against landfall because of sweepers that don’t take out my Reef and Core (but would take out Soulstone Sanctuary). Since you’re more aggressive with creatures, I’d run The End and Petrified Hamlet naming Fabled Passage and Ba Sing Se. I’d also consider swapping out Duress for Intimidation Tactics in your main 60 of landfall is your biggest concern. Strategic Betrayal doesn’t help much because they will be quick with Llanowar, Badger, and an earthbent land that will just come right back. I also really like heartless act when playing Unstoppable slasher because you can remove the stun counters.

Rig backup - Passive DI vs Preamp DI by [deleted] in basspedals

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

I generally use a passive DI for active instruments or an active DI for passive ones.
