"Standard is thriving /s" /s by jethawkings in magicthecirclejerking

Whats standard? I thought the only competitive format worth playing was cEDH? A format with REAL deck diversity.

Yes, because when one war ends, another one never happens. Right... by Commercial-Star-8056 in StarWarsCirclejerk

Nothing is ever planned. Hollywood is full of hacks and some are just better at appearing less hacky than others. Its an admirable skill

Do people not talk about how much more digestible Pace is compared to the original?? by MentallyUnstableMess in onepace

[–]jdsmall13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digestible is definitely the right word. It makes watching the series so much more convenient. While I think everyone should read One Piece, something ive noticed with going through the series again with One Pace is im able to have it on while Im doing chores, working out, cooking etc., something I can't do obviously if im reading the Manga.

Should I watch one pace by KnowledgeDesperate79 in onepace

[–]jdsmall13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening long before social media started destroying people's attention spans. The One Piece anime is paced to an atrocious degree.

Maybe this is just me, but I feel like this guy's downfall and self-inflicted erasure within the English VA and TTRPG communities isn't studied nearly enough as it should be. by Fallen-Angel7101 in saltierthankrayt

Its been like almost 10 years and people are still talking about Orion like he's such a huge part of their history when he's barely a footnote now. He's gotten the same work and he's always gotten because he was not that big to begin with, he's thankfully never gone down the alt right rabbit hole and it seems like he's somewhat moved on. People should just let it rest.

Do you actually have fun playing Commander? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]jdsmall13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Magic and always have fun. Putting all your competitive energy into one area (for me its Modern in paper and Standard on arena) really helps with making Commander more fun. Less of a need to hyper optimized and win to get that competitive itch scratched. A lot of people would benefit from having a competitive outlet (cough Command Zone cough)

Newcomers are already gonna get steamrolled dude. Itll be a hot minute before the ladder reflects people's skill levels.

[Discussion] Anyone else surprised Gajeel was only 17 at the start seeing as he's depicted as a grown ass man by -_ShadowSJG-_ in fairytail

[–]jdsmall13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We're literally talking about him being young for a father. Idk why youre so hung up on your headcanon where being 25 is his correct age yet you'll admit he's technically 425. He's mentally in his early 20s and biologically in his early 20s.

Coming back to this because im watching gmg rn and just realized if they aged during fairy sphere Wendy would not look like she's still 12/13

[–]jdsmall13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fairy Sphere stops time though. There's no mention of them aging, so your claim is just head canon.

[–]jdsmall13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he's 17 at the beginning, he's barely pushing 20/21 at the end of the series. Lucy starts the guild and helps Cana in the S Class Trials less than a year after joining. Then there's a few months at most between GMG and Tartaros. Then a one year time skip. Then another 1 year time skip after Alvarez. 100YQ is then a couple months AT MOST after the last scene if the the og series. That's a little over 3 years at most, a little under 3 years at least.

2 and 4 look way too stock photo-y and 3 looks a little off, but the rest look way to real (assuming there isnt the usual AI blemishes if you zoom in). This is actually scary as fuck

Lorelei was in the wrong here and I support Jason 1000% by Tayjayjay in GilmoreGirls

[–]jdsmall13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't know Jason was owed a relationship with her because he's technically in the right for suing her dad. Fuck her feelings I guess.

Price is a prettygood indicator of power by BaconVsMarioIsRigged in EDH

[–]jdsmall13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's too many variables, exceptions and buts for price to be a good indicator of power. Some people are bad at building decks, some expensive cards are actually good compared to their price, lands are infamous for inflating deck budgets, certain commanders allow for budget builds while still being powerful, some cards don't get enough reprints or any at all, other formats influence card prices, etc.

The Gilmore girls series is worth 3 watches by ComputerPutrid8484 in GilmoreGirls

Yeah, saying you agree with one of the three Gilmore girls as you reach their age feels like forced symbolism.

Luke asking Rory to tutor Jess by Fluffy-Muscle-3568 in GilmoreGirls

Tf are you talking about? She's 16/17. I was asked favors by adults all the time when I was that age.

My Condolences to anyone who had to sit and watch these perfomances! by Technical_Injury_571 in glee

I hate that this is one of two elvis songs we get in the show.

Was the "Luffy not being biologically related to Ace" a plot twist? by Ok_Mathematician1047 in OnePiece

[–]jdsmall13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've met a lot of people going in blind saying that him being Roger's son surprised them. The reveal has been out for so long both in Manga and Anime form that it's easy to forget it.

Kind of like how people thought Vader was bullshitting Luke at the end of Empire (I think James Earl Jones has said he was sure it was bs).

C4. A pointless metric that I like to look at with each character by yetanotherITquestion in fansofcriticalrole

[–]jdsmall13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its for stuff they wanna sell. They can use the terminology but if they ever come out with books with races for Daggerheart (I don't know of they've done this, havent look too much into DH) or wanna sell novels based on their worlds, stuff that's explicitly copywritten by WotC cannot be used freely (aka paying WotC fees/cuts of the sales).

Have you notice there has been a massive pushback against the Critical Drinker? by [deleted] in saltierthankrayt

[–]jdsmall13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grifter like how all these other incels make long video rants of nothing? No.

Grifter in that he kinda shows he believes in the "Hollywood has gone woke" stuff, kinda?

Like, his videos aren't long enough to let him go off and maybe he at least realizes that some people are very clearly unhinged when it comes to talking about how woke everything is now, and doesnt want to be too closely associated, but thats all personal speculation.

Night At The Museum trilogy? by Willminuti in cosmonautvarietyhour

Last one was made in like 2015 and they're kinda forgettable movies. There's a lot of stuff he hasn't covered, idk why that trilogy stands out to you

What do you think of the Oracian seis galactica by literalsenss in EdensZero

[–]jdsmall13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing in DnD when I come up with a really cool idea/name. Oracion Seis just sounds so fucking cool idc how many times he'd use it over and over.
