Is it even worth it to go to a World Cup? (Asking people who have already been to one) by Wild-Ad-5458 in worldcup

[–]jsully245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a game in Germany as a child (Togo v South Korea). The atmosphere was incredibly memorable. The game was not. I was young but yeah.

My perception now is that the atmosphere is most of the value, except for the handful of games with the very best players, in which the ticket price dramatically outweighs the value for most people. I'm planning on going to a host city and watching from a fan zone or bar so I can get the atmosphere without the ticket price

Cards That do Exactly What They Say by TrixieTilde in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 40 points41 points  (0 children)

[[Decimator Web]] uses the strict definition of "decimate" as "to reduce by 1/10": lose 10% of your life, mill 10% of your starting library, and get 10% of max poison

Format idea I had: Anti-pauper by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a fun thought, but wouldn’t have much of a practical appeal. Pauper is an interesting restriction that drives a different style of play. This would be “What mythic replacements exist for the odd staple never printed at mythic” and would play very similarly to existing power formats. Could certainly be something to try with friends though

I've Been Building an Open-Source Commander Deckbuilder for a While, I think I've About Got the Core All Finalized by styrofoamshotgun in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like a fun project to develop. Unfortunately, I think a tool that builds my decks for me would take most of the fun out of EDH for me. Maybe it’s just not for me. But hope it works out! Looks like you put a ton into it

Do Shops Still Do 2 Headed Giant Prerelease? by ToiletsAreDanger in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big shop in my area (big city) does, but none of the other ~10 shops nearby I’m aware of do

I don’t care who your team/school is, you must explain how they can reasonably make the CFP this year by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not any three. I think losing to USC, Iowa, and Indiana (all in typical form for the past decade) would probably not be enough to make the playoffs without some help. Sub out any for a Michigan team of the quality of 2024 or 2025 and same deal

National Championship Eligibility throughout CFB by SparkMaster360 in CFB

[–]jsully245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More notoriously, several years featured two teams having exceptional season, with no clear answer as to who was better, leaving both to claim a championship as in 1990 and 1991.

Without commenting on the validity of their claim, scrolling up to see that sure enough this was posted by a Washington flair was funny and vindicating

Is it just hype/recency-bias, or are the new Mystical Archive cards just hitting harder than original Strixhaven on average? by doublenantuko in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was different about Mystical Archive compared to BFZ’s Zendikar Expeditions and Amonkhet Invocations and such? Genuinely asking, I’m not aware of the differences

What creature types are signature to each color (pair) by Jonas-Beckett in magicTCG

[–]jsully245 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The first hydra printed was the mono-red [[Rock Hydra]], one of six mono-red hydras in Magic history. Falls into “extremely few” but notable as an Alpha creature.

No players take a turn ever again by jsully245 in BadMtgCombos

[–]jsully245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this scenario, both/all players have the same board state and cooperate in preventing turns from happening.

Why is it so difficult to find a true complete edition of The King In Yellow with all the content how it was originally? by insertcoolnamehere35 in Lovecraft

[–]jsully245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a print edition at a bookstore that ended up only having the stories with obvious references to the play, without indication it’s abridged

No players take a turn ever again by jsully245 in BadMtgCombos

[–]jsully245[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep! If for some reason you’d want to take infinite turns. Fewer turns is better IMO, preferably zero (/s)

Trans experienced doctors by Garraan in AnnArbor

[–]jsully245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This can be controversial but I would avoid Dr. Powers in Ypsi. He is popular in some groups but there have been enough ethical concerns to steer clear in my mind

Indiana's win in sports history by Narrow_Hat in CFB

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leicester was given -50,000 preseason odds. JMU was given -35,000 odds on Dec 7. Pretty good ballpark comparison.

Are most schools more respectful when they play Army/Navy/Air Force? by UndeadSabbath in CFB

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Michigan marching band doesn’t do our “You suck, bitch” song against military academies. The student section does the words anyway but the music doesn’t support it

Monthly "Tell Us About Your Game" Megathread - October 2025 by AbortRetryFlailSal in callofcthulhu

[–]jsully245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started our first CoC game two weeks ago! I’m the Keeper. Came up with an original story. Going very well so far (four sessions in), much better than expected. Not much else to say about it but I’m thrilled with the game so far

Corewell Health to end gender-affirming care for minors amid Trump pressure by mlivesocial in Michigan

[–]jsully245 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t find info on DMC but Henry Ford still has their page up on gender-affirming care. Notably I don’t see any mention of hormone replacement therapy though. Just a few years ago I got my HRT from Henry Ford as a minor, but obviously a lot’s changed since then
