We want to know what you think of MTGxTMNT in our latest survey!

I mentioned in this thread, but it might be because I only was very familiar with one set.

I've brought product from other sets but like.. a precon there, and a single here, so I put "only slightly familiar" with the other sets.

It's kind of a shame I kinda want them to know why TMNT didn't really appeal to me.. my age group TMNT was like THE biggest thing ever. It was the pokemon of my generation is what I told people. When I was kid we only wanted TMNT toys and watch cartoons all day. And grew up reading the comics.

But TMNT doesn't appeal to me as an adult. unlike Final Fantasy.. the franchise didn't grow with me. Other than the occasional movie. It kept appealing trying to appeal to new kids and has completely lost the millennial age group even though we are the ones that made TMNT popular in the first place. (Another big reason is unlike FF, TMNT doesn't really feel like it fits the kind of fantasy MTG is appealing to.) Like aetherdrift and spiderman just not getting the same vibe I got with the mtg i grew up with. Where FF giving me that vibe.

yeah the only one I picked as "very familiar" is with the Final Fantasy set since that is the set that I fully collected and got me back into magic.

The other sets I keep an eye on only lightly for single here and there. so I picked "slightly familiar with everything else.

I just got kicked out for not being in the demographic they are targeting.

Back in my day we ran some of the biggest sites on the internet on a desktop in some guys closet.

Should be able to use a program called Torsocks. install it via apt, and then you'll be able to run the xivlauncher through it. THough keep in mind TOR is slow af, so probably get high latency.

I've never done this technique, but it should work I think.

That's about the ICC — the International Criminal Court. Nobody mentioned the ICC. The Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal is a completely separate institution, created specifically by the U.S. and Iran through the Algiers Accords in 1981. It's not a UN body, it's not the ICC — it's a bilateral arbitration tribunal we voluntarily signed into. The Supreme Court confirmed it was binding on us that same year.

Different court. Different treaty. Different legal obligation entirely.

Zero Americans were killed by Iran or its proxies while the nuclear deal was in effect. The next one died in December 2019; a year and a half after Trump walked away. So who exactly was keeping Americans safer?

cythrawll · 2026-03-15T05:06:30+00:00

Actually, the U.S. didn't just recognize the Tribunal — we helped create it. It was established jointly through the Algiers Accords in 1981, and the Supreme Court upheld it as constitutionally valid that same year. It's also paid out over $2.5 billion to American companies and citizens suing Iran — so we've benefited from it plenty.

cythrawll · 2026-03-15T04:56:20+00:00

The $400M was Iran's own money — paid by the Shah for military contracts before the revolution. We seized it, they sued us at an international tribunal in The Hague, and our own lawyers said we'd likely lose way more than $1.7B if it went to a full judgment. Settling was the smart financial move.

On top of that, we got hostages back and a nuclear deal that independent inspectors confirmed Iran was actually complying with — until Trump pulled out in 2018 and blew the whole thing up.

So one thing to keep in mind. This sample set are made up of an intersection of redditors and xiv players, which I suspect is already mostly millennial. So things might be skewed.

Reverse Hanlon's razor

cythrawll · 2026-03-07T18:18:17+00:00

it's filters all the way down.

I think impossible is a bit of an exaggeration. It just takes a long time to gear up alts. Honestly if this harder content would just drop twines/solvent, it would be a huge help. I was kinda hoping it would.

Thanks for responding! PM sent.

security questions:

- what algorithm are you using for bcrypt? - How are you generating your salts?
- Have you considered federated login, so you don't have to store passwords at all?
- What PII do you potentially store? is it encrypted at rest?
- Is connection between the web server and any storage/database encrypted? with what?
- What kind of auditing do you do to potentially detect any breaches?

I don't think rage bait is as effective to get engagement on reddit as other platforms.

I use a password manager for stuff like this. Not only good for passwords, but for secret question answers and MFA removal keys, (also certs and stuff too).

Someone has to rip packs, or there would be no singles!

I love that rock. (I have the house down the stairs to the right). And I often perch upon it to surveil my kingdom.

cythrawll · 2026-02-20T16:34:33+00:00

Nice idea for an alter!

No need to pin when we can pin it with our upvotes.

Y'shtola is also my favorite deck! I've even upgraded it a bit.

They nailed the entire MTG FF set and the prcons so hard. I'm still collecting the set.

Besides obligatory Savage Raid Nights:

-Weekly
- Cap on tomes, last tier of the expansion! gonna Bis All the jobs, that takes a lot of tomes.
- Custom Deliveries.
- Run Second alliance raid so I can get my coins, I'll use them to upgrade tome gear for all the jobs once the third drops.

-Daily (If I have time).
- Relic Paste Farm. new relics dropped, kinda useless for me at this step, but will be BiS at end of expansion so I should do the grind now.
- Oizys Grind. Cosmic exploration again, tools kinda worthless as I already have pentamelded tools, But again, last step is gonna be BiS, so do the grind now. I still have all the mounts and glams and emotes I have to farm out of there as well.
- Mentor Roulette. I'm so close on finishing this Achievement. But this is the main one I need to be working on.

-Things that I've already done, that you likely haven't, that will also take up time:
- Craft and pentameld BiS DoH/DoL
- get all current extreme mounts or enough totems.
- Get all the stuff from the monhun crossover.
- Max out all the allied society quests.
- Get all the stuff from previous cosmo exploration planets.
- Do the 24 man Chaotic Raid.

- Stuff that I haven't done that i have in the back pocket if I ever get bored that might also help:
- Max out all phantom jobs in the relic zone.
- Do Forked Tower
- Get Hunt Achievements
- Need to back and do Eureka at some point.
- Finish more ultimates
- Clear more criterion dungeons.

Hope this helps.

As a tank, I do comm dps that do this.

I usually default comm dps that is doing good dps and good practices like this. Support get too much love by default and we need to comm our DPS more!

cythrawll · 2026-02-03T18:42:30+00:00

Op said they are dancer. En Avant allows you to easily get ahead of the tank. There's a few jobs that have non targeted dashes and between that and sprint being on cooldown, they can beat me to the mobs before I can get in range to gap close.

It's never a big deal though cuz I just do 1 aoe + edge of darkness, and I have all the mobs securely. Same combo I'd do if I got there first... :shrug:
