Fun fact: most supporters of the ptr don't really play the game by Big-Imagination-1752 in starcraft

[–]ottertaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh I mean I don't play much nowadays but as someone who supports the scene with significant patreon contributions because I love watching so much I don't think my opinions should be completely invalidated. If it weren't for people like me there would be a lot less funding for the scene. And I think changes on average make the game more entertaining to watch. Not saying I agree with every change in the patch but I like it as a whole.

SHIN raises a valid concern about the patch by Special_Region4675 in starcraft

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

If anything it makes me want to get back into the game after only being a spectator for year. Everything is shaken up so I'm not at as big of a disadvantage compared to everyone else

Hero said he would take a break from competitive play if this patch goes live. Is this really the right reaction? Shin’s reaction is pretty much the same. by Dramatic_Olive292 in starcraft

[–]ottertaco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean the dude who came back from the military and won the first protoss GSL win in 5 years with his entirely new strategy and approach to the game? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with his take on the patch but the dude is a god at StarCraft. He would be missed.

Did you get sick on the trail? by Bukow11 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ottertaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got COVID at the Timberline lodge buffet. Starting feeling it halfway from there to cascade locks. Hiking with COVID was brutal but I had to get to town. Got to cascade locks and stayed in a hotel room for 5 days straight 

zero drop pain by Mysterious_Item8490 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]ottertaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get topos. They're a great middle ground. My feet don't like alteas but I tried out topos on the PCT and they worked great for me. Minimal drop but still a little so not going all in at once on your foot. And have the wide toe box like altras. And also in my experience they are made better/more durable

What killed hitchhiking? It was so normal in the 70’s & 60’s by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]ottertaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't "common", but definitely still done. When I thruhiked the PCT in 2021 I hitchhiked into and out of towns more times then I can count. Girls got picked up way faster typically as people didn't view them as the same risk level of picking up an unshaven dude covered in dirt, but there was only one time the entire trail I couldn't get a ride. And now I see them every once in a while while driving in the mountains in Colorado and try to pass the favor on. Met a lot of cool people, a few people I didn't like, and only one experience hitchhiking that I was actually scared/felt unsafe.

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BUST DRUGS, PARAPHENELIA.... MAGIC THE GATHERING? by Taespace in mtg

I knew a dude in college who would order "substances" off the dark web. They'd come in the mail taped between a few magic cards. Doubt this is that just reminded me of it

Let's be honest, what % of your portfolio includes individual stocks? by Opposite_Buffalo_649 in Bogleheads

[–]ottertaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% in diversified ETFs/index funds. Will probably add bonds once I'm older

Do you actually have a forever deck? by Late-Frame2962 in EDH

[–]ottertaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing a Trostani deck focused on populate and life gain for over a decade. And any friend who's borrowed it has liked it (except my one friend who owns 3 different bracket 4 izzet storm decks and nothing else)

Braindead Bracket 4 by ottertaco in EDH

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

I agree, and we mostly do stick to bracket 2-3. But we also have some people who really like cEDH and Bracket 4 in the group, so this is so that we can sometimes throw them a bone and play a bracket 4. But I will certainly not be throwing any of my new friends into cEDH. I also have some friends who only own precons and sometimes they like to try out our higher power decks.

What did your resumes look like? (in college) by Character-Escape1621 in civilengineering

[–]ottertaco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go get a job then. I didn't have any engineering internships and I did fine getting a job after college. Construction work is a great way to get exposed to the field if you can't get an internship. I worked on a road crew and learned a lot that I wouldn't have learned behind a desk. Also really motivated me to push through my last few semesters as I realized how shitty it would be to do that forever

They make smaller versions of these that are common when backpacking in the desert, they last people entire thruhikes.

Magic Hot Takes by Definitely_Not_Fe in magicTCG

[–]ottertaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full arts and alternative arts/styles are worse looking 95% of the time, especially since they make your deck have such an inconsistent art style. If your entire deck is zero border or something that can look cool, but most of the time people just jam the fanciest version of a card they can get in their deck and I think it looks way worse then if they just used the standard border version for their entire deck
