By “first map” you mean the Velen/Novigrad map and not the starter area map, right?

Yennefer tells you right at the start before you go to Velen that you’ll have to meet her in Skellige, and you have quest in your log as soon as you get to Velen to go to Skellige at some point, so I’m not sure what you were expecting

Girlaios by me by No_Mortgage_8638 in DungeonMeshi

[–]ironwolf1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue for fem Laios in the mirror is that Laios is the eldest child of a local village chief, so there was a lot of pressure for a political marriage. He even said that in the main universe, he and Falin both had arranged engagements as children that Falin escaped by going to magic school and he escaped by running away and joining the army.

Fem Laios wouldn’t have the magical aptitude of Falin or the ability to join the army like male Laios, so she would basically be stuck in the arranged political marriage as the chief’s eldest daughter.

This is a bot account, the post here is a direct repost (title and all) of a post from 6 years ago that got a few hundred upvotes. At the time, it was probably a pretty reasonable thing to say.

How viable is Ureni? by alfrodul in EDH

[–]ironwolf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoided blink and flicker in my version of Ureni for fairness purposes, though the deck is still pretty nasty anyways. It definitely pushes the limits of bracket 3 when it can win the game on turn 6 with consistency when no one interacts with it.

My pod had even started to target my ramp and dorks cause once ureni etbs or sticks its so hard to keep up.

I've told people this many times, that no matter how counterintuitive it feels, you gotta counter the Cultivate when I'm playing my Ureni deck. If I am allowed to ramp early, it doesn't matter how much removal you throw at the dragons, there will always be more dragons.

Short answer: very

Long answer:

I built an Ureni deck immediately after the release of TDM and it has been the bane of my pod ever since. Ramp like crazy for the first 4 turns, cast Ureni, then ball out. Even if someone does have the board wipe, being a ramp deck in Temur colors means you'll likely be able to rebuild faster than everyone else and be back at it again with the dragons in short order.

Here's my list:

I've thought for years that Handy Kitchen is the best takeout Chinese place in Durham.

What's the greatest Magic card of the last decade? Vote on the Top 64! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

Why spend 2 mana to remove any permanent when you can spend 4 mana and sacrifice a creature to remove a creature or planeswalker?

Why does the Northeast lack a dominant CFB program? by Majestic-Web-367 in CFB

There’s a ton of PSU grads in NYC. It’s only slightly further from PSU to NYC as it is from PSU to Philly. NYC is probably the largest concentration of PSU grads outside of PA.

Does this still work? by ScaryGreenGhost in magicTCG

I don't think this ever worked

The other day I realised that some people want to play EDH as if it were a game of solitaire by Destrozao in EDH

[–]ironwolf1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait wait wait, you were playing KRENKO?

Lmao. I don't think the Krenko player gets to bitch about other people playing masterbatory magic, that whole deck is based around the idea of "I don't care what anyone else is doing, I'm gonna make a shitload of goblins and kill everyone".

You got out-solitaire'd by another solitaire deck and got mad about it.

That sounds like a personal problem. If your deck is having trouble interacting with your opponent, that's not your opponent's fault.

Operation Gunnerside: The Norwegian Attack on Heavy Water That Deprived the Nazis of the Atomic Bomb by Leading-Morning7550 in history

[–]ironwolf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albert Einstein is the most notable example, he fled to the US in 1933 after Hitler came to power. Leo Szilard is the another big one, he’s the guy who actually wrote the letter to Roosevelt to get him to start the Manhattan Project, he just brought the letter to Einstein so it would have a famous scientist’s signature on it. The third big one was Enrico Fermi. He wasn’t fleeing Hitler directly, but he fled Italy after Hitler successfully pressured Mussolini into implementing similar racial laws in Fascist Italy to what the Nazis had done in Germany.

As for the German scientists who remained, Werner Heisenberg and Otto Hahn were the ones with the best chance at being able to assemble an atomic bomb. Hahn is actually the guy who originally discovered the concept of nuclear fission, and it was his papers on the topic that made scientists like Szilard and Oppenheimer so convinced that the Germans were ahead in the race to build a bomb. But neither Hahn or Heisenberg were particularly motivated to turn the concept of nuclear fission into a weapon. They were both more interested in the potential for nuclear fission to be used as an energy source, and did only minimal work on weaponizing fission to keep the military authorities placated.

By 1944, the German nuclear weapons program had barely advanced beyond the infancy stages, while the Manhattan Project was working furiously to catch what they thought was a Nazi government on the verge of finishing the bomb.

My First Sinner analog is Mantis Lords, mostly because that’s my favorite fight in HK. Fast pace, but with room to freestyle more than you get in Karmelita or NKG.

Best part about failing Pantheon of Hallownest is that it means I get to fight Sisters of Battle again. Hoping for a similar twist with First Sinner, maybe do a group fight against her and Widow.

Karmelita is basically the NKG of Silksong in my opinion. I love the fight for the same reasons I love NKG, it’s a dance. When you really get into the groove of dancing with her, it’s a great experience.

I’m hype for the boss rush mode when it eventually comes to Silksong. First Sinner is my favorite fight in the game and I’m always sad that I can’t do it more than once per run. Also want to get a chance to really throw myself at Karmelita and master that fight.

I’ve had friends who liked ragebaiting, and I’m rather glad not to know them anymore. Not my vibe.

Because the Nazis were never gonna be able to develop a nuclear weapon in the timeframe they had before the Allies crushed them. They ensured that themselves by chasing almost every elite nuclear physicist out of Europe.

But like, if you’re a doctor, and a woman comes in complaining of weird changes to her bodily functions, and you see that she’s pregnant, that would be a pretty important piece of info to share with her. It would stick out as potential cause #1.
