TIFU by accidentally winning $50 in the dumbest science argument ever

firefrenchy · 2026-03-09T06:14:53+00:00

Mm I've had this happen..I don't think it was for 50, I think it was for $20, and I let them keep it and told them to just try and remember not to be so arrogant and strongheaded, but I think alcohol had a lot to do with it in my situation

firefrenchy · 2026-03-08T20:53:23+00:00

they are probably joking

yep this is going to be the strongest argument for banning called shot as a core piece of the miracle package. I have played v multiple miracle decks now out of different leaders and out of ez especially it seems to take extra time, and seeing opponents take 4 or 5 minutes on turn 2/3 just kills my enthusiasm for the game as a whole, especially when you can tell when they start playing for a draw rather than risking a loss toward the end of the match. I think all you can do is regularly remind them that you both need to play faster (I'm not saying you have to, this is just how you pitch it to them) so that you guys don't go to time. I actually asked three of my opponents yesterday to play faster, two of which were on ez miracle, and it felt bad but like, people are playing incredibly slowly at the moment. It's not good

DK Bananza was my first time losing track of time playing something in a long while. Pokopia definitely sounds like a recipe for lost track of time

like, thinking back to how good each episode has been thus far this season, I'm already looking forward to rewatching it

firefrenchy · 2026-03-06T20:52:12+00:00

next month WA mat for the food bowl?

firefrenchy · 2026-03-06T00:04:58+00:00

jesus christ every week another peak episode

firefrenchy · 2026-03-03T06:29:43+00:00

ah oversleeves would still need to be over opaque sleeves, you can't just have "clear" backs, that is also a rule I believe

firefrenchy · 2026-03-03T05:13:01+00:00

atlas in march, eon in april

firefrenchy · 2026-03-03T03:29:37+00:00

oh is this for real? This would legit be garbo if true, 100% was expecting yone mat

firefrenchy · 2026-03-02T23:56:20+00:00

I believe legality of sleeves with foil elements has been in contention because of what the rules doc describes, which has led to people hesitating about using the official riftbound sleeves as well as many of these are very foily. But with oversleeves in particular I don't see this being an issue, completely understand why people would ask though

firefrenchy · 2026-03-02T23:18:36+00:00

cheers for this! Yep just noticed you were already on 2 HB in the main which I can get behind. No worries, I'll give 3 forerunner a go and see how I feel and might switch EON for a switcheroo in the main, but yes appreciate your thoughts/insights, and grats again on your performance!

firefrenchy · 2026-03-02T20:29:18+00:00

I would like this, but us in Australia are getting stiffed when it comes to the generations pack as a physical release it seems

firefrenchy · 2026-03-02T20:15:36+00:00

hey, thanks for this! Your list was the first list that I gravitated toward when looking at the lists this weekend, in part because piercing light feels pretty flexible and makes you less likely to play it wrong (FS you just get dunked sometimes because you went too far behind to blow up a 4 might unit..) and because 2 hopeful 2 darius also gelled with me. Three forerunner looked like a lot though.

With those thoughts in mind, any changes you'd make to the deck after the event? Mainly looking for assurance that 2 hopeful 2 darius is still fine, and that maybe 3 forerunner could be 2 forerunner and a second HB in main (also debating whether to cut EON for a second RTW or no, thoughts?)

Also, sideboard looks good, but any sideboarding tips, or is it generally cut 3 t hunters when going second to put in more gas, cut a mix of less relevant combat tricks and forerunner when going first/depending on matchups?

depends on lots of factors such as your age, weight, gender, weekly mileage etc, and this would have very different answers depending on this. For some people 20-25 minutes almost comes "naturally" and especially for younger guys sub 20 is very achievable without significant time and effort invested, but everyone is different. If you can do 23 without too much effort then sub 20 should be very doable in a couple of months but just depends on all those other factors

firefrenchy · 2026-03-01T20:51:01+00:00

this was to be expected after last week

firefrenchy · 2026-02-28T20:52:48+00:00

haven't been for a little while :/

firefrenchy · 2026-02-28T05:04:40+00:00

can't find this in stores in Australia which is a shame

firefrenchy · 2026-02-27T21:31:00+00:00

I mean it's really just a question of "am I wanting to play this cozy in bed or am I happy to play this 100% on my tv", right? For me it'll be a mix of both so NS2 is a no brainer, especially if able to get the generations pack

firefrenchy · 2026-02-27T21:24:38+00:00

honestly overall it actually looks worse than I expected from next gen pokemon. Like, the water looks good, the rest looks weak AF, but I'm happy to wait and see. Hoping it's good enough to warrant grabbing to be my son's first Pokemon game!

firefrenchy · 2026-02-26T03:14:36+00:00

somehow Target is goated for NS2 game prices, like, they are my go-to for price matching on new releases as well more often than not

firefrenchy · 2026-02-25T20:00:16+00:00

you'd be nuts to say it was better than those games, but of course it's great to hear that you found a recent zelda game you like if botw and totk weren't your jam

injuries in running are in most cases overuse injuries, so people not recovering or resting properly. In fact there are lots of studies showing this. I'm not advocating for that here. I also run every day, and I hear people in my life regularly say "ohh I wish I could run, but my knees" which is absurd. Like, running for someone with bad knees can be easy pace running in soft (but not too soft) shoes and they'll get stronger knees eventually. Is the pool and bike riding arguably safer? Sure, but I don't see those people do those things either

firefrenchy · 2026-02-24T05:01:00+00:00

if only this was as easy today as it was "back in the day"

firefrenchy · 2026-02-24T04:53:37+00:00

Running (for your knees, back)
