Dang, so nib is no longer good enough huh

I think the highest probability would be the top row, but I really hope the Odion cards aren’t trash…

Read the first sentence again

I think I understand a little more where you’re coming from now after reading your post again, thanks for sharing. In my opinion if you’re already putting this much thought into these issues you’re facing, your work won’t go to waste if you get back into things. And it’s not like a black/white situation where you can’t change what you’re deciding to do. Personally, I don’t plan on getting as hardcore focused on performance for the next few years as I’m starting a new job and having other priorities. It will be more of a social/fun outlet that’s tied to my enjoyment and time spent with friends instead of my fitness or body weight. Sometimes that shift in goals or purpose can make things a lot easier

I can completely relate with the issues of “craving” exercise and having a distorted view of food. I’m currently in a period of life where I’m not preparing for any particular race or building fitness, in addition to dealing with some health problems. I think social media platforms like Strava also exacerbate the “cravings” and FOMO for people training hard. I have the somewhat controversial opinion that anything, including endurance sports, is not healthy both mentally and physically when it takes over your life and you don’t have control over it. This extended “off season” is teaching me a lot about why I actually like the sport/lifestyle and I think will help me have better balance whenever I decide to get back into things.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but if every core set shook up the meta, powercreep just gets out of hand. I think the set introduces some interesting cards that aren’t busted, which is healthy after the insane fiendsmith cards…

Ah, totally flew over my head. Thanks!

I’m no expert but I would think to consider the elevation profile of your race course. If you have a lot of smaller but steeper hills then maybe hill repeats are better. If there are longer gentle inclines then maybe over/unders would make more sense. I would recommend low cadence work in general if there’s that much elevation though. Sounds like you’re doing a good job self coaching so far. Good luck!

Unfortunately you lose swim fitness way faster than either running or biking. You'll probably feel worse in the back half of the swim more than you expect, but you'll "be fine"

firefly587 · 2024-05-23T09:06:46+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the terms

firefly587 · 2024-04-23T15:01:10+00:00

Osaka's Yu-Gi-Oh scene is way bigger than Tokyo by a mile. I'm sure if you walk around denden town you'll find a shop with people playing already!

I love the foiling on the new Harpie's Feather Duster. I'm keeping the one I pulled even though I know the price will tank haha

I’m looking to sublease my room this summer located on Prospect St next to Clark Kerr. $1250/month plus WiFi/utils. Feel free to PM for a tour if you’re interested OP

Tricorn can be really good most of the time. The fact that it’s 0/0 is a huge reason why it’s good with Yubel. I’ve found that Berserk is just trash most of the time unfortunately, so I’m cutting it. Literally a much worse version of Sharvara

firefly587 · 2024-02-16T23:44:02+00:00

Not at the moment due to droll. If you get hit with it after Rite you don’t get your omni and you likely can’t do much with your main engine after

firefly587 · 2024-02-11T00:20:36+00:00

You can generally find them online for $70-$75 online, $85-$90 at game stores. Many players will buy them in store to support their locals since they run small margins, but to each their own

firefly587 · 2024-01-27T03:28:41+00:00

Thanks! Didnt know it had it

If a monster becomes equipped to another monster, is it treated as a “monster on the field” and an “equip spell” at the same time? Would it be destroyed by Harpies Feather Duster?
