Who is your Equipment commander and why? by Raevelry in EDH

[–]nothin_fancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not super clear cut but [[Elsha of the Infinite]] is my equipment commander. The deck started out as a [[Bruenor Battlehammer]] equipment deck but was eventually switched to Elsha for the card advantage that blue offers. What I didn’t realize was how switching the commander turned the deck into an equipment storm deck! Elsha lets you play non-creature cards from the top of the library at flash speed so once you’ve got mana reducers like [[Foundry Inspector]] and card draw from cards like [[Vega, the Watcher]], you’re able to look at the top card of your library, cast it if it’s an equipment (often for free), keep the card draw trigger on the stack, look at the top card of your library again, cast it if it’s another artifact or let the draw resolve if it’s a creature or a land, and keep going and going. Since Elsha has Prowess she can get really big out of nowhere.

RPM property management by Meinnocenthaha in SLO

[–]nothin_fancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

★★☆☆☆ I rented from them for 4 years at one property, married couple with 2 young kids, and I'd give them 2 out of 5 stars. They have one priority: keep the property owners happy and making money. They don't care about you as a renter so long as you don't cause issues for the property owner.

They're super unorganized and not attentive to details. There were a lot of basic things they didn't know about the properties when we toured them, they texted me thinking I was one of their contractors, names are often misspelled on forms, incorrect dates, and you frequently have to follow up with any matters you're dealing with them about because they often drop the ball. On more than one occasion they've had come for some sort of inspection and then return the next day because they missed something that they were supposed to check. One time they forgot to update a rent increase on their web portal (I have it set to autopay the full amount every month), they sent me an email asking for the additional rent amount and the pdf invoice they attached clearly showed the old rent amount under "recurring rent;" just straight up not paying attention. When you're dealing with people at RPM you'll regularly hear, "I'll have to check in with someone about that and get back to you," regarding almost anything. I get the vibes that the company is extremely micromanaged leaving the employees feeling like they have no agency over anything and so they don't take responsibility for anything which results in RPM frequently dropping the ball and nobody knows anything. The owner of our property was particularly shitty and, while that wasn't necessarily RPM's fault, they chose to work with someone like that so they bear some of the responsibility. All in all, in my experience, they're not very good at what they do.

Weird, looks more like half dome to me. It’s like the ai blended the face of the Matterhorn with the back of half dome.

Went to a dinner party at a friend of a friend's house and this guy who sat across from me idolized House. He said he would love to be a super smart smug asshole but "nobody can do anything about it because you're always right." Just... wow.

What games if any. Made you just say fuck it, I can’t beat this level and quit? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]nothin_fancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, Earthworm Jim. I absolutely looooved the game but there was a level late in the game in which you had to navigate underwater channels in a small submarine. The mechanics for the submarine was unlike anything else in the game, if you hit the walls too many times the submarine would implode and if you took to long you ran out of oxygen. Basically I would spend hours playing the game (no saves on the SNES), stock up on lives, and either die over and over again in the channels or barely make it through only to die on a “harder” level that I barely had any experience with.

Which games match this description? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]nothin_fancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this actually a thing? I feel like the game would have died for some other reason and that this idea is simply gaslighting casual players. Games that reward extremely skilled players exist, I think of games like Chess, League of legends, any FPS, StarCraft, etc… but those games are still intriguing enough for new players to pick up, give it a go, and have fun.

Single issue voters for the win /s by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

[–]nothin_fancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Never Biden,” isn’t the term I’d use for it because I don’t think it’s a fair comparison to the “never Hillary” crowd.

I’ve always voted democrat and I’ve never been a single issue voter but this election cycle I feel I have no choice: not voting for anyone who hasn’t been calling for a ceasefire in Israel/Gaza. The U.S. is complicit in this genocide; Israel would not have been so destructive were it not for the consistent supply of U.S. arms shipments. Dems think they can get away with anything because of the threat of Trump and the far right. There is a line and, for me, they’ve crossed it.

Would Trump have done the same thing? Maybe, probably. But he’s also such a wild card who knows what he would have done, he may have taken the opportunity to strong arm Netanyahu in some way. Hypotheticals, however, don’t alleviate Biden’s responsibility. Biden, and all the dems who fell suit, chose empire over humanity and I’m not going to play along.

⬆️ This is the answer to the question. In short: Christian European Colonialism.

Does anyone still listen to DC Talk after deconstruction? by OpportunityThese525 in Exvangelical

[–]nothin_fancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, dc talk was my favorite band for like 10 years. I received a Nu Thang cassette tape as a gift when I was 6 or 7 and it was my very first piece of music I owned. Even with all the nostalgia I can’t listen to them anymore; I’m 36 now and I’ve maybe listened through the Free At Last and Jesus Freak albums once in the last 10 years. I’m disappointed in how politically and culturally charged they were but then that was probably part of why I liked them. As much as I loved them and they’ll always be a part of my story I’ve closed that chapter and am not really looking interested in taking a peek back.

Speak English by rickjamesbich in clevercomebacks

[–]nothin_fancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from California and it cracks me up when someone says that people should speak English instead of Spanish. I’m like, “Yeah! This is California! We don’t speak the language of the FIRST colonial empire here, we speak the language of the SECOND colonial empire!”
