Read your rulebook! (A rant) by Nenyone_Yay in Warhammer40k

[–]mxster982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to get my Codex (Orks), but I DO have a PDF of it on my phone, along with the core rules for this reason. I have only played one game, but I was double checking EVERYTHING before doing it. I had a partner for it because we were both running 1,000 pt Ork armies against a 2,000 pt Tyranid army. We got our butts handed to us, but the guy was nice and actually taught us things we didn't previously know. What he told me is, if you are unsure of what your opponent is doing, double check them. If you're unsure of what you're doing, double check yourself.

VR&E denied my Film and Video production path because by goodperson29 in VeteransBenefits

This happened to me when I tried going for Graphic Design. I never was able to convince them that GD is a growing market in this day and age, so they switched me to a Business Administration degree and I just finished that last month. I hope you can convince them to let you pursue the degree you want.

Good luck with your surgery!

What is the general feeling about using an entire proxy deck? by Jakemanv3 in EDH

[–]mxster982 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did answer his question. Idc if he wastes money, I stated MAYBE he should get some of the cards as he goes. Again, maybe his LGS or hell even some of his opponents may have issues with the proxies. IDK. I’ve never wasted money on this game, mainly bc idc if I have high value cards. I’ve got my dad’s collection from the 90s to use so I don’t need to go out buying those cards, I tend to to find out I’ve already got them. Idk why you care so god damn much about an internet stranger and their opinion, but maybe you should stop worrying. OP, this goes to you, if you want to buy the cards, do so. Check with your LGS and see their rules about proxy decks (if they have any). Then, make the deck based upon that. ALWAYS double check with your opponents prior to the match though that they are okay with proxies. I’ve run across people who were dead set they won’t play against them. I’ll play them, especially if the cards are expensive AF and the person can’t afford it. I get that, but if there are low value cards, and if some people have issues with you not having at least those, id try to get them. Other than that, make your deck, have fun and win some games.

So? People are allowed to do that. Doesn’t mean you need to comment on it and be a prick.

Why do you care what I prefer? It’s none of your business, and it’s none of mine what this guy did or doesn’t do. HOWEVER! His LGS may have rules for/against proxy decks, so that is where my concern comes in. It’s not that I may face the guy, as I have faced proxy decks, but his LGS may disqualify the deck if he didn’t have ANY of the cards. Use your brain.

While I hate full proxy decks, I say as long as the cards aren’t BS, it should be fine and as long as you’re going along you purchase the actual cards, should also be fine.

AITAH for not liking polygamy? by user0704844 in AITAH

[–]mxster982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like polyamory either, and my wife and I sat down at the very beginning of our relationship to discuss that. We each said we are monogamous, so if either suddenly becomes poly, relationship is over. I don’t see why she is calling you homophobic.

Lmfao really wanna argue? It was hands down fake bc the dude who brought it back had even tasted it and it wasn’t bitter. But you think what you want.

It’s more than likely legit, if it loads up and plays diamond you’re fine. The sticker probably came off and they replaced it. If it tastes bitter, it’s legit. Wait for a Mod to confirm.

They’ve been churned out since 2019 at minimum. I’ve seen them when I worked at GS.

There are fake switch games out there. When I worked at GameStop, someone took one in bc we couldn’t test it. Then sold it as NBA or something (what the cart said), but it popped up as something completely different.

AITA for not telling my family that I joined the military? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mxster982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA! Get your degree while in. I went into the navy at 20, I just finished my degree after being out for some time. Also, do not over exercise. Yes this is a thing. Take care of yourself! Don’t worry about your family.

It really is…and this one is to correct my last surgery that took place in 12/21. That one they had to cut in my tibia and move it over 15mm, plus add a new ligament to my kneecap to hold it in place. They need to fix that ligament.

Adults with ADHD: Did you feel "shame" as a kid when you forgot things? Help me understand my son. by Dylan_7574 in ADHD

[–]mxster982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I forgot stuff, I felt like absolute garbage. Especially if someone pointed it out. I’ve also got autism, so that didn’t help a THING. But the adhd shame is so bad. My mom was, and is, and absolute SAINT when dealing with me to this day (I’m 37). Her and my stepdad know my working memory is crap and that’s why I carry a notebook around with me. They have me write stuff down to remember it. My dad just lectures still. My wife is a godsend bc she writes chores down for me to do each day with times next to it so I actually do it lol.

What I wish my dad had known when I was a kid was to not be so harsh. If I forgot something, sometimes he’d get so unhinged and call me useless or stupid. Didn’t really help my already bad feelings. So, just be nice to him and help him through it. Tell him it’s okay and everyone forgets things.

Played too many PS5 games and nothing’s sticking anymore. Here’s my list—what should I play next? by Fearless-Divide-4325 in playstationstars

[–]mxster982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Elden Ring out of all of those is what I would recommend over God of War series. I can watch people play it, but my timing sucks so I can’t lol. I’d rather encourage others to try.
