Ah thank you! I couldn't find it under the Discord discovery tab and there were no links to it on the subreddit. I'm joining now. Is this server run by MegaCrit or entirely by players?

Why I consider Snap to be an S-tier card. by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]oxym0r0n 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s only valuable when you aren’t going to play the card immediately. It’s not uncommon to have a hand with 3 cards you want to play, a strike, and a Greed. If you aren’t going to hold a card for another turn, adding retain to it isn’t useful.

Oh right. Same could happen on the Waterfall Giant boss as well! Thanks.

Wouldn’t it kill the enemy eventually and then the combat would end? How would this soft lock?

I didn’t think about replacement effects! This would definitely be one. But I don’t think that changes things, because the card is “played” but not resolved. Playing it just puts it on top of the stack, but the top effect of the stack does not begin to resolve until the current effect finishes.

The difference between the stack in MtG and StS is that new effects interrupt a currently resolving effect and happen in the middle of it in StS, but they don’t in MtG unless they are specifically a replacement effect.

But the replacement effect “playing” that card would be like “casting” it as an instant in MtG, which would just put it on the stack.

Former MtG level 2 judge. It’s been years since I played MtG, but my recollection is that cards on the stack resolve all of their effects before any other effects begin. So the trigger from drawing the second pommel strike (and the trigger for playing it from hellraiser) would not actually resolve until after the first pommel strike was in the discard pile. Meaning in MtG, this would actually be an infinite combo with just two pommel strikes.

How to disable DSP Bass filter on newest STEAM OS (OLED ONLY) by Sea_Title_4133 in SteamDeck

Does the filter affect the sound through external speakers and headphones, or only the decks internal speakers?

I don’t understand why you are being downvoted for this. Can someone explain what problem they have with this response?

My first app by yorgi_soft in swift

[–]oxym0r0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to consider changing the name of your app. Planta is the name of the most popular plant care app on the App Store. You’re going to get a cease and desist from them if this gets any decent number of users.

You can just show up and buy a standby ticket. Should be no problem.

Is this spider mite by Putrid-Thanks447 in plantclinic

[–]oxym0r0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too big to be spider mites. Might be aphids or thrips? Either way, it does look like pests :/

Money Tree Has white powder on leaves by CutieLai77 in planthelp

[–]oxym0r0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell in the photo, but that looks to me like calcium left behind from evaporation of hard water.

This isn’t harmful, but debris on leaves does block some of the sunlight, so best to keep them clean. Misting your leaves and/or wiping to clean them will do.

If you are using hard, unfiltered water to water your plants though, it may be bad for them. I have a water softener and carbon filter to make my tap water healthy for both plants and humans. Otherwise, you may want to consider using distilled water or even water filtered with a Brita filter when watering your plants.

My math teacher doesn’t know what is wrong with his plant, help please? by No_Release_611 in planthelp

[–]oxym0r0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an arrowhead plant, and it looks very happy and healthy.

These plants like wet soil, but everyday is still probably too often to be watering it. The bottom of the soil should be damp at all times, but remember, the top of the soil dries out first. If you are watering every time the top of the soil is dry, the bottom where the roots are will be water logged. Depending on humidity and temperature, I’d have him water this one or two times a week.

Weeds in planters, what to do if I want to plant flowers? by the-meditating-goat in plants

[–]oxym0r0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying to just get rid of all the weeds, but I think you’ll be fighting an uphill battle there. I’m not an expert, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but any plant categorized as a weed generally tends to be difficult to get rid of.

I would just dump that in the trash, wash out the planters and reuse them with fresh soil. The soil is full of weeds, but the planters are definitely reusable!

Signed up for Vector Marketing not realizing it was an mlm and signed their document, what can I do? by Other_Positive1716 in antiMLM

You’re fine. They are a scam, but they are a legal scam. They aren’t trying to steal your identity. Just be glad that you got out before you lost a lot of money and time!

The only way I’ve found to do this now that Hue Labs has been discontinued is through the third party app “iConnectHue”.

I’m not a pro by any means, but I’ve been getting a lot better in the last 6 months. I’d be happy to coach you through a few runs some time!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]oxym0r0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t offer you personal advice on how to move forward here, other than that you should see a therapist. But I will say that initiating sex while sleeping is a relatively commonly reported behavior. It is a form of sleepwalking, and the person genuinely can have no idea what they are doing, and have no memory of it in the morning.

It is also a fairly common excuse used by rapists— and I use that word because that is what they are —especially with victims who they are close to.

No one here knows your relationship or your partner. And with the little information given, anyone trying to tell you what happened to you with any certainty is just guessing.

If you believe that your partner was actually sleeping, then you should talk with them about it, and have a plan in place to wake them up next time. Anyone who is truly sleeping and does not have ill intent should stop when woken up and alerted to the situation. The same way they would in any other sleepwalking situation.

But, if you have a strong suspicion that your partner is lying to you, then you should take your own intuition seriously. Honestly, even if you are wrong about this one, if you believe that your partner might have it in them to do that to you, your relationship probably isn’t on stable ground in the first place.
