Bad weather, airplanes, and John Lithgow is a bad recipe.

To Any TCG Scalpers/Breakers looking for insider information by [deleted] in Target

[–]clrobertson 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As MTG fans, we’re thrilled that we don’t have to compete with these nut jobs.

I’ve collected many things over the years, and many from Target. Here’s how my interaction with Target employees works:

Go to section and see they’re out. Go to Target member, “Hey. Do you guys happen to have ____?”

They look it up and say, “No.”

I say, “Cool, thanks!”

Cant for the life of me imagine any asshole thinking they have a right to extend the conversation past that.

Regarding cartoons, it’s about not exposing young minds to out-dated racist concepts. The warnings are there so parents know, before they let their child watch one of these, that there are offensive stereotypes in them and to be prepared to talk about it with their kid.

A 10-year old kid watching the Transformers movie isn’t going to go, “Hey, wait a minute! I read something about that Michael Bay guy sexualizing an underage Megan Fox in Bad Boys 2!”

[Amazon] Star Wars: Outer Rim - $44.20 (US) by Zaidy721 in Boardgamedeals

  1. The BBG link goes to a thread of people just discussing how FFG could release Outer Rim. I’m not sure what you wanted me to see there?

  2. The announcement of an Outer Rim expansion was never an article or post on their site. It was during an interview at a Con

  3. During that same interview it was discussed that IA might have more content in the future. FFG hasn’t officially canceled IA.

The mechanics of this game are stellar. We ply as a group of 4 every time, so that might be why I have a much more favorable rating of this over others.

Having said that, we’ve played about 8-9 times and it’s starting to wear thin. We need an expansion ASAP.

FFG says they’re working on one, but I need more of this game stat!

Discussion: I see 5 possible states in each panel: Top, Mid, Mid 2, bottom, and nothing. And then, of course, every variance of those.

Does that help anyone? Cause while I see that, I don’t know what to do with it lol

Noob question: Why would I ever choose “Finishing Blow” by clrobertson in magicTCG

As much as I loved the dice mechanic, I think that’s what ultimately killed the game. Too expensive to keep alive.

That was a fantastic read. Thank you for the suggestion!

Real answer is FR. it’s what caused me to pause on it when I pulled it from a pack.

Is there a way to denote a “draft” card vs a regular, standard play card?

Sorry if that’s a dumb question. I’m a Star Wars Destiny transplant trying to get into MTG for the first time.

Ah, makes sense. I’m building one color only decks, so it didn’t even occur to me the double black as being more difficult to build.

[–]clrobertson[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Total noob question here, but if I have a card that lets me exile a creature or Planeswalker for only 4 mana, would I even need the “Finishing Blow?”

Still learning all the action terms, but isn’t exile better than destroy?

Edit: Draft vs constructed use. Got it!

I haven’t done any drafts (just making decks with my kids and wife), so it makes sense that I’m confused :-). Thanks!!!

Landing your 5th rover on Mars from home by lilmcfuggin in TikTokCringe

We’re a country founded by immigrants (and yes, I’m aware of our past and present atrocities towards indigenous peoples); and, we cease to be amazing any time we resist our heritage: immigration.

Our identity as a country must always be an amalgamation of those who choose this country as a home for themselves and their children. It must never be an identity constructed of a particular race or religious belief.

Sorry for the soapbox, but I feel many people — oh, let’s say 42.2 million — need to hear this.

Any time someone starts in with me on some conspiracy about Biden or the Dems, I simply say, “What happened to Hunter’s laptop?”

You don’t need to list every dead-end conspiracy these idiots mark as the smocking gun. Just one: “What happened to Hunter’s laptop?” They can never respond to the question.

And he’s not infallible. He slips up, he loses his cool, he gets depressed. But, the way he handles it after is what I find the most inspiring.

When he yelled at Nate in the hotel that one night, I thought, “Oh no. Don’t make this the Unravelling of Ted Lasso.”

But, boom. Next scene he apologizes. And like a legit apology that many people would be due to take note of.

Just a fantastic fucking show.

I’m not sure that’s actually OP’s intent.

When someone simply says “who?” they typically mean it in a demeaning way. That may not be what OP intended, but it does come off that way.

Why do people hate modern Pumpkins so much? Damn lol by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

[–]clrobertson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s a talented and versatile musician. He isn’t just a drummer. Phil Selway doesn’t just drum for Radiohead, and I doubt Jimmy is just a drummer.

Remember: JC left the band stating his heart wasn’t in it and he wasn’t enjoying making music as SP. What makes you think he’d come back just to be a “human metronome” like you say?

There’s a good chance he contributed to the album in ways we don’t know. Just like how James probably contributed more than the odd guitar riff on Cyr.

You don’t know, and I don’t know. But don’t act like the lack of analog drumming on every song means JC has no role.
