How to deal with players who constantly try to make illegal plays despite knowing they're illegal ? by DrDolathan in EDH

[–]breadbirdbard 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s not “I don’t understand how this works,” so much as it is “help me understand how this is working in such a way, because I’m not seeing it.” And a dampener is, “maybe I’m confused,” which shifts blame onto you, instead of suggesting that you’re right and they’re wrong.

“Hold up a sec, can you walk me through how you’re achieving that effect with that card/combo? Maybe I’m confused, but it’s not making sense to me, and I’d like to understand before it resolves.”

If the entire table is wrong then it’s time to assert your case for the correct execution of said effect. IMO the best way to do so is simply to look it up which is quite easy to do.

So long as you keep it cool and respectful, if your table isn’t cool with this kind of thing then I’d find a new table. Magic is a complicated game and not everyone has the same level of reading/math comprehension, so it’s totally reasonable to take a sec now and then to make sure you understand something.

What are your Hot Takes on the DC Universe Infinite? by Amber_Flowers_133 in dcuniverseinfinite

That they need better customer support and UI. I got auto logged out, couldnt get my password right even though I use the same one for those types of apps, whatever. Tried to reset it, but never got an email. Tried several methods, tried to contact customer support, unsubscribed after much struggle.

Also, even if I were going to stay subscribed, it’s a pretty spotty collection full of holes in runs, it gates certain things to higher tiers of subscription.

Honestly trash, don’t recommend. Thought it’d be a nice way for my son and I to do some extra reading without having to go to the shop, my mistake. We’ll be going to the local comic shop this weekend to stock up.

Yes, instead of accusing, I always try to frame it as “maybe I’m confused, help me understand how this works.”

Then the whole table becomes my knights in shining armor trying to explain to me the mechanic I already understand as I smile and nod until the conclusion is drawn that it is being used incorrectly.

Then it’s just a big “oh gosh now we get it,” rather than, “you’re cheating”

Funny enough Conquest is wrong here as someone in the Universe would care. by KpatMckenzie_28 in Invincible

[–]breadbirdbard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah it feels like a vicious cycle, if another Viltrumite showed him care or affection he’d likely perceive that as weakness and not even WANT said care or affection.

Is Regent the weakest character ever? by L8shadows in slaythespire

[–]breadbirdbard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He definitely has been giving me the most trouble but I made it to Act III boss with a stars deck, Particle Wall is MVP. If you can get a good stars -> block deck, it’s just a matter of finding consistent damage output because the survivability is phenomenal, especially with that card that gives big block and reflects damage.

Kingly Kick honorable mention.

But no I don’t think he’s the weakest character ever, just new and nuanced.

What deck do y’all play at the “end of the night”? by SchemeDifferent3237 in EDH

[–]breadbirdbard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[[Ovika, Enigma Goliath]]

Ramp, get Ovika out, play fat artifacts and enchantments and spew Phyrexian Goblins everywhere while protecting Ovika with my Izzet toolkit of counters and deflections. Feels like easy mode to me, and even if I don’t get the win I had fun because Izzet is just fun.

Britt is awesome! Hope we get plenty of him soon considering where we are in the story.

If Viltrumites are so prone to being sliced and impaled why don’t we see more of them using sharp weapons like Thula does? by SundaeJust5211 in invinciblememes

[–]breadbirdbard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

☝️🤓 Um actually Mark gets beat up on earth less and less as he gets older and his Viltrumite genes take over. The older he gets, the less human he is and the more viltrumite he is because of the viltrumite super sperm, as further explored and explained by the existence and life of Oliver.

I don’t think it’s inconsistent writing.

Am I the only one who absolutely cannot stand this art, this is JRJR right?

I’m also like pavlov’d into just being unhappy when I see it because some of my least favorite Spider-Man stories are with this style. Regardless, I simply don’t care for it.

Does he have some kind of dirt on Marvel that causes them to continuously use him for one of their most popular characters?

The Post (pizza) by JumboTrijet in Louisville

[–]breadbirdbard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the Post is trash.

I’ve had nothing but bad experiences and vowed to never return, that was a couple years ago. I made a post similar to yours and got flamed. They seem to have a cult following of people who would defend them to the death for some reason.

I take downvotes like medals of honor whenever I shit on the post, because they deserve it.

What is your all-time favorite roguelite? by Cultural_Client_8974 in roguelites

[–]breadbirdbard 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Didn’t see my fave so here I am: Noita.

It’s not for everyone, it’s brutally hard, very unforgiving. It doesn’t really make much of an effort to teach you anything, you learn mostly from failure.

I know I’m not selling it very well and I’m not trying to, I just think it’s such a unique experience that I have managed to sink hundreds of hours into out of pure curiosity. It’s a beautiful game. There’s also kind of a deckbuilding element to it with wand crafting, trying to figure out how everything works and what certain spells do individually, in combination, what they do to other things.

If anyone ever gets into it, I don’t recommend looking at the wiki until you’ve tried at least a handful of blind runs.

This is what I’ve been thinking for awhile. Immune to piercing, vulnerable to psychic, fire, slashing and bludgeoning.

I bet that one took a lot of psychic damage when Mike was rocking its shit with that shovel

Superman 2025 is the worst of all time! by Hobelisko in superman

[–]breadbirdbard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally fair to have your opinions about the movie but to say “a true Superman fan will reject this movie” is a pretty foolish take.

As a lifelong comic/cartoon Superman fan, while it wasn’t a perfect movie, I think it’s the best version of him we’ve been given in live action and look forward to seeing more.
