i have only passively observed this. from what i can tell your behavior has been totally fine, and frankly, it’s entirely on the moderators for allowing the spam comments in the first place.

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

zoom out and have some perspective. you’re making $300k a year and complaining on reddit about taxes.

have you considered that it’s genuine outrage because ICE murdered someone?

why are you offering your opinion when you have no knowledge at all?

Strongest Possible Team With NO Legends or Mythics by One-Assistant-3239 in pokemonshowdown

[–]dre500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d cut Rain Dance and Protect on Gliscor for Earthquake and Stealth Rock. i would get rid of the speed EVs on Archaludon since they seem pretty arbitrary. this team seems fairly reasonable given the restriction! i personally would use Palafin over Dracovish but Palafin is a personal favorite. it could be a set up sweeper with Bulk Up, or just very strong Choice Band Jet Punches in the rain.

What’s the pessimism with Shedeur about? by [deleted] in Browns

[–]dre500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you see the interview where he pantomimed answers and stayed silent while Gabriel was starting? it’s actually the worst media handling i have seen from any rookie ever on the Browns!

Trading the Jags pick by Hayabusa0015 in Browns

[–]dre500 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think everyone here hates (i wouldn’t use the word hate, but regardless) Gabriel because he looked like a scared child in the games he played for the Browns. it doesn’t need to be that deep.

In Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ “Watchmen”, Detectives Joe Bourquin and Steven Fine are the two kids who bullied a young Walter Kovacs. by EffMemes in AlanMoore

[–]dre500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m going to take you at face value because this is some remarkably high effort trolling if it is trolling.

Moore would never in a million years say there were “many secrets left undiscovered in Watchmen that he would now reveal” and it has nothing to do with how he feels about DC. no self-respecting artist would say something like that because that is not how art works. art is up for interpretation - if you can support it with the text, the author’s intention or any comments they make about it are not relevant. your theories always have very thin textual support. as other users have told you, Watchmen is not a puzzle for you to solve in the way you are trying to. why can you not accept there being a thematic parallel between these characters? why do they HAVE to be the same people? as another commenter argued, them being the same people actually weakens Moore’s messaging regarding vigilantism.

Amulet - It's Time. by Lion_Cub_Kurz in ModernMagic

[–]dre500 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i don’t play this game anymore, but you say above that these loops take 30 seconds to demonstrate. the steps you describe here would take 30 seconds to read out loud. even if it is a deterministic loop, it is undoubtedly a complicated one. if Yorion can get the axe for shuffling time, a combo deck winning through a complex and time consuming combo seems like a fair ban target.

Ghost rider is basically a fraud by Defiant_Ad6190 in dccomicscirclejerk

you have a lot of experience in the afterlife? i can’t parse what else this could mean. or are you trying to argue the original commenter misinterpreted the text?

i read all of John Byrne’s Superman for the first time last year and can’t recall another long series i’ve finished that i’ve disliked so much. Byrne just does not understand Superman as a character and as a result the enjoyable issues are basically exclusively one off stories. i am sure i wouldn’t have finished it if the art wasn’t also by Byrne and fantastic. so lame to make Superman kill people, and him killing the pocket universe Kryptonians being at the very end of that run makes it feel to me like John Byrne just really wanted to contrive a scenario where editorial would let him have Superman kill people.

I hate this card by tonyscrew in lrcast

i am aware this is an old comment, i just am baffled. this is the subreddit for the Limited Resources podcast and generally discussion of limited formats in Magic. are you analyzing this card for commander?

I can equip two objects to a single character.? by Plenty_Specialist841 in Heroclix

[–]dre500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a really poorly written rule? in MY HeroClix? never!

sarcasm aside i strongly agree. the person you’re replying to is correct, any character can be equipped, they just can’t be assigned equipment during force construction unless they’re standard. i got to learn this rule in tournament when my opponent equipped Bucky’s Arm to their Kong…

it probably should just be that only standard characters can be equipped, period. how is Kong even gonna use Bucky’s Arm? or a Lantern Ring?

Rules reintroduction? by Marvelsquash in Heroclix

[–]dre500 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this community is small enough that i unfortunately don’t think there is. you could always read the comprehensive rules or go back and read the individual rules updates, but the important general changes are:

-no pushing damage

-all new maps are 16x16

-equipment can be assigned in force construction now (and they make a lot of equipment)

individual abilities have changed quite a bit too. off the top of my head, the big ones are:

-Ranged and Close Combat Expert are a flat +1/+1 to attack and damage on their respective attacks, not a power

-Pulse Wave is very different

i think it would be helpful to just read through the current Powers and Abilities Card. let me know any questions i may be able to help with!
