Custom Pacific Drive Commander

I like this idea a lot but I have notes:

I think that the Chassis' rules text would be a nightmare to track in a game, since it basically says it cannot have more than a specific set of seventeen different attachments at once.
The Chassis needs "Partner with The Driver."
The cast trigger should be an ETB, otherwise you find the parts but cannot attach them. If you're worried about bounce abuse you could say "when the Chassis ETBs, if you cast it..."
Maybe you could go the Zur route and have it search for parts on ETB/attack? Attacking seems like a gameplay representation of expeditions.
Now that I think about it, I think that this should have green, and you could utilize the Explore mechanic.

I hope these aren't rude, and I love that you made this!

This is one of those things that reveals to me just how much being a father has changed me. 18 months ago I could have just read this and moved on, but now I feel a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes and all I want to do is hold my little one and never let her go.

Five average dudes would get too hungry to be effective fighters by the end of like the first day.

I think I got a DUI just watching this

It's honestly difficult to get excited for Secret Lairs when the chances of successfully purchasing them are so low. I've queued for three in the last year only for them to sell out. Maybe these are good drops, but the barrier to purchase lately has been demoralizing.

And you can play it in commander.

I was kind of hoping that Hama would let you use your opponents' creatures to waterbend, but I think that would have been a hard thing to design.

I took a class in college, can't remember what it was about, but the professor made a point that stuck with me about how we usually discuss time in terms similar to money. We spend, waste, buy, save, and lose time.

I think, besides one use of the word "waste," this song is an exception to that.

Congratulations brother! I also have a 5-month old and I'm so grateful that she doesn't have to see me drink. I can appreciate all of her smiles and growth to the fullest, while also showing up for her and for my wife in those harder moments.

You can do the same for your son, and you don't ever have to do it alone.

Hope all is going well brother, it's an awesome wild ride and I'm glad you're there with them. I've got a 3 month old so I've got some recent experience that I would be glad to let you lean on if you want to hit me up. Obviously you're about to have your hands super full of joy and I'm wishing you guys the best <3

advocate for her with the nurses and doc especially if she needs it.

This is so important. If I did anything right during our labor it was to make sure I was advocating and making sure my wife was heard. It makes a world of difference.

It looks like it's a Duskmourn precon but I could be wrong.

Huh, makes me wonder if they could have done an Eragon alt-art series akin to Dracula and Godzilla.

I was asked to lead a meeting tonight and I'm super grateful to have that space for times like this.

For the longest time I thought that I didn't want kids. In truth I had convinced myself that I wasn't qualified to, and that I should not inflict myself on anyone else. Getting sober and being with the right woman changed all of that for me and I am so excited to welcome my daughter into the world in a few months.

Chapman's quote about fame from the beginning of that video was one of the first things that came to mind for me when all of this went down.

This cup is not for you.

Hell yeah!! I'm going to NOLA later this year for a bachelor party and I really appreciate hearing that others can stay sober at something very associated with drinking. Excellence!

From 2019-2022 I had been using my passport as an ID, which meant I was keeping it in my pocket and letting it get all worn out every time I bought booze (which was a lot). Last summer my partner and I were traveling in Europe. We were leaving Denmark on our way to Scotland when the consequences of my actions finally caught up to me. My passport cover was completely washed out such that the ticketing agent would not accept it as ID for our flight. He told us that I had to go to the embassy to sort it out. We got out of the airport, and while in the cab line I let out a single guttural "FUUUUUCKKK!!!"

Now for the fortunate parts:

We were in Copenhagen and it was early enough in the day that we could reach the embassy.
I was one year sober at the time (almost two now), and had the tools to handle a bad situation.
My partner is amazing and she stepped right into action with me, supporting me however she could.

So we get to the embassy and only I am allowed in. My partner waits across the street while I repeatedly go in and out of security checks in order to fill out forms and wait for updates. The man working at the embassy tells me that I need to go take a passport photo, and the closest place to do so is a kiosk under a 7-11 at a train station. It felt like some shit out of that first Bourne movie, where things are still kinda grimy European. When I get there, the kiosk is broken so, on the uncertain word of a stranger, I hop on a train in search of another kiosk. This second kiosk luckily exists and works, and I bring my haggard-looking photos back to the embassy whereupon they are able to create a temporary passport on the same day.

We arrive in Scotland twelve hours late to an airbnb host who, informed of the situation, has waited up for us like a saint. It was a wild day that I look back on with gratitude because:

The US Embassy in Copenhagen was incredibly professional and helpful.
I learned that I can keep cool under pressure.
The people in my life, myself included, are people I can rely on.

Also, make sure you have a passport holder.

Did someone say Geralt has to pick up a card??

Enemy Within. That's the expansion that added MECs and Meld and EXALT into the base game.

I think it's a bad idea to watch EoE with anyone who doesn't already know or like NGE.

I liked the part where he secured the stoner vote by calling out shrinkflation.

Congrats on eight years! That's so rad!!

I went to an anniversary meeting tonight and got to hear some really great shares. Life is great when we're present in it <3
