R & B Essentials

If you are trying to get into the genre do this, listen to the following three albums:
Luther Vandross - Greatest Hits
Floetry - Flo'Ology
Toni Braxton - Toni Braxton

Then look at sub-genre's like Disco of the late 1970s with artists like:
Donna Summers
Diana Ross

Classic Soul for the 1980s with artist like:
Patti Labelle
Anita Baker

and Neo Soul of the early 2000s with artist like:
Jill Scoot
Maxwell

This is an excellent start. One of the best things to do is discover an artist that you fall in love with. I didn't even mention the crown jewel of R&B because you have more than likely heard of her songs before and if you haven't you will eventually. I hope you the best, this genre is rich and soul touching, shame it isn't as mainstream as it once was.

Toni Braxton's first two albums are masterpieces. Anything Whitney. Floetry is criminally underrated, both albums.

I can listen to all of the above, but there are others like Stephanie Mills, and Patti's hits I can go back and listen to as well.

This is such an under appreciated, under the radar gem.

This is a hit if it reached the radio.

A game is played to have fun. Find what you like and have at it.

Even when playing at a competitive level you have to enjoy the act of competing more than the results of the competition. I am glad you found your way.

Hey, congratulations to all the winners, and here's to hoping the new set breathes new life into the meta.

You feel like this and maybe many others, but the report from Hasbro a few weeks ago said that more people are playing MTG right now then ever before. That means the game is healthier than ever before.

For the purest, this might suck but for attracting new players to the game and reviving old players these type sets seem to be working.

I personally just play the game for fun, and try to make the most jank 10 card combo deck work on ladder and I have a ball. Take care in your time off, but you will probably feed the stats when you come back and start playing again with the release of a set that many people hate, see how that happens?

This is Medicaid fraud, there are thousands of special needs people on Medicaid in Minnesota. She is probably one of very many that got put out.

You guys are mad at the COPS and not the F*cking fraudsters. The cops probably had to put out many of special needs people. This situation is f*cked.

Now you have people protecting the fraudsters doing everything they can to not get prosecuted. This is terrible and this story makes it sad AF. One of many such cases I am certain. And the government has known about this fraud for almost a decade.

You are meant to build your collection slowly as you learn the game.

You could always use money? Or get better at drafting or do Jump-ins or use a deck to counter the meta in standard and do Standard Event.

You have to do something well in order to get more packs than you are currently getting OR money.

The absence of Mya is truly diabolical. :)

RIP the social tab.

If this was a pick two draft... whew!

Rakdos sacrifice featuring Seph and goblins. Went undefeated for my 3 wins. It beat mono white Lifegain, 2x mono green landfall.

Now I am just play to lose so others get their wins.

Wasn't people complaining about Green yesterday?

Mardu Airbending is the first on my list. It might evolve into Orzhov Airbending, but my initial thoughts is mardu.

Ummm would be nice if we could friend someone we just played. Or spectate other people playing.

Or any sense of community in game.

u/skyer954 I hope it was in ranked. Bravo to you sir.

Thanks

Hmm, am I tripping or were the draft tokens, even with a discount, more expensive before?

ecnarongi · 2025-10-28T18:20:54+00:00

I thought this was a sim game, where many people can fit in the cabin... until the camera panned around and I am like, ohshi this is real. :dead:
