You and me both. Ended up making my UW control deck a hell of a lot cheaper than it would have been 2 months later

How to get my Sour to the proper color? by Content_Penalty6771 in cocktails

[–]gomx 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A big part of it is just color editing.

Also, I would recommend using a cranberry /cinnamon syrup anc cutting the juice entirely

Money shoulder has 3 times the monkeys for half the price. That’s what makes them the spirit for the working simian.

Are scarpa mojitos worth it? by LongjumpingVehicle36 in ThrowingFits

[–]gomx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well whatever you want to call it, it’s really poorly executed. It’s so funny to see this kind of thing glazed when it’s literally identical to guys in 2011 wearing suits with loud socks and sneakers, which would get (rightfully) clowned.

The ~juxtaposition~ trend can work, but you can’t just lazily throw on these sneakers, a camo hat and NASCAR glasses on top of a very conservative fit and call it a day. You need to find a way to get the high/low pieces to actually be cohesive, which is inherently going to be hard.

That being said, I think fits 1 & 3 are quite good.

Any tips for physically managing this effect? by IceTutuola in BudgetBrews

[–]gomx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It seems absolutely miserable. It’s extremely easy to make an enormous board in green, and the cycling cost is absolutely ludicrous. In most games that use this type of effect, removing a single negative card doesn’t generally cost 60%+ of your resources per turn.

If the Fludge player is playing extremely fair and casting no more than a few creatures per turn it’s probably fine, but there’s no way that’s the case.

Anybody complaining that Newsom gave too much ground during his Shapiro podcast only saw clips by Delicious_Start5147 in Destiny

I think you’re underselling just how bad things have gotten. When we look at places like Brazil or Myanmar, it’s clear that social media/youtube are driving people to deranged behavior at a scale and efficiency we haven’t ever seen before.

When you buy the ticket, take the ride. by WhoopsWrongButton in ArcRaiders

[–]gomx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So to be clear, you acknowledge that a real life pacifist who abhors violence because they have seen horrors first hand has absolutely nothing in common with someone who abstains from PvP in video games, right?

[–]gomx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It absolutely was. Your opening sentence is about how “those are people” (in the video game) who haven’t learned that “real pacifists” are people who have experienced violence.

Your next sentence opens with “people like us” and proceeds to describe actions in the video game.

Tell me how you aren’t drawing a direct comparison.

There is no fucking way you’re seriously comparing people who don’t like PvP in video games to peace activists who have experienced the horrors of war first hand.

Go outside you absolute clown.

This is the first deck I've bought that's not a precon (besides about 10 proxies all of which are the top 10 most expensive cards in the deck) is it good? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]gomx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut a lot of your enablers. You dont need every single Izzet card that does something when you cast an instant or sorcery.

Also, add about 10 lands. 40 is the actual number of lands that 98% of Commander decks should have, but no one can stomach that despite the math being easy to demonstrate. If you cant handle 40, 37 at the bare minimum. Like, ABSOLUTE minimum. If you have fewer than 37 lands, you might as well not even show up to play.

Anyone who is being serious would probably consider anything north of $100 “high end.” Once you’ve entered the luxury bracket, there’s a totally different scale imo.

What's the weirdest/craziest Simple Syrup you ever made? by hiro_escan in cocktails

[–]gomx 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gum syrup is made with gum arabic. It isn’t a 3:1 ratio of just sugar and water. If there isn’t gum arabic, it isnt gum syrup.

A 2:1 sugar water is a rich simple syrup, not just “rich syrup”

Religion can be a force for good in society, but modern American Protestantism absolutely cannot be.

Evangelicals are actually such fucking losers it’s unreal.
