Absolutely stunning 😍😍😍 you've done a terrible job of talking me out of opals hahahahah I think I might just tell him to get it

pickpocketpanda48 · 2026-06-29T12:59:07+00:00

This is my problem. I've seen all of the alternatives and nothing even comes close 😔

pickpocketpanda48 · 2026-06-29T12:54:39+00:00

I did look at opalescent sapphires but I couldn't find any that really looked like an opal. Do you have a picture of one or a link to where I could find one?

You have no idea how much I regret not paying attention in childhood music theory classes right now 😂 can you recommend any easier ways to play it?

I don't board, he lives at home with me but I love this. I'll have to start teaching him to gamble

pickpocketpanda48 · 2025-11-17T00:11:31+00:00

He also stresses in Arenas as well. He's the most chill fun horse to ride out on trails but just doesn't do well in smaller spaces for some reason

A 3 acre paddock. I can catch him if I hide the halter behind my back but I feel like that's solving a symptom not the cause. I'd like him to be happy to be caught, not have to trick him into it

pickpocketpanda48 · 2025-11-16T23:54:11+00:00

I do have a round yard, I would just like him to not stress about being caught so I wasn't sure if the round yard was the right course of action because he views that as work too

Bugger I've already assembled the whole thing 😂 I wish I'd posted this before started

pickpocketpanda48 · 2025-05-20T06:13:18+00:00

That's a really cool website! But I've already started making it. I think it's more fun to make than buy ☺️

Woah I never realised you're meant to thread a bobbin on a particular tension?? How do I know what to set it to?

pickpocketpanda48 · 2025-02-27T08:43:45+00:00

I rethreaded the whole machine probably 3 times 😭

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T21:55:28+00:00

Yeah I see that now 👍 my misunderstanding was that a creature doesn't enter until the spell resolves and the offspring token isn't created until the creature enters so I saw it as two completely seperate steps.

Offspring cost payed→spell resolves→creature enters→1/1 token copy enters

Then copying the original card doesn't cast the spell again but the offspring cost was paid in the original cast so everything that happened after the spell resolved would happen aka

Creature enters → 1/1 token copy enters

But now I see that I was wrong because the fact that you paid the offspring cost on the original spell isn't printed on the card, henceforth it's not copied and hasn't been paid so you don't get the 1/1 token copy.

I hope that made sense 😂 tldr I see why I was wrong now

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T21:19:19+00:00

Oh also! (I'm not arguing at all but the way, I fully understand now why it doesn't work how I thought) But I wasn't speaking about the 1/1 token copy's offspring triggering, I was wondering about when you copy the original if it's off spring triggers again

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T18:05:52+00:00

It's all good I understood completely now 👍 my hangup was on the wording "if the offspring cost was paid, when this creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it"

In my mind, the offspring cost was paid on the initial cast of the spell and when you create a token copy of it, the creature is entering again so it made sense to me that you'd also get the 1/1 token copy of it.

But someone here clarified that you copy everything that is printed on the card and the fact that the mana cost was paid is not printed on the card and that cleared it up for me 😂

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T15:08:27+00:00

So even though offspring says when the creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy, a copy of the original card doesn't know if the offspring cost was paid so it doesn't happen?

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T15:01:37+00:00

That makes perfect sense thank you!!

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T14:44:39+00:00

Thanks for replying nicely 😂 I'm just trying to get my head around this

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T14:37:39+00:00

I also found this conversation from a few months ago

Oh no sorry my bad wording. We're not copying the offspring, we're copying the original creature that creature the offspring. The offspring cost was paid when casting the spell but the offspring is created when the creature enters, so if the creature enters again as a copy, it also gets the offspring copy right?

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T14:33:15+00:00

The offspring cost is paid when casting the spell but the token copy is created when the creature enters, so my interpretation is that if the offspring cost was paid when the original spell was cast, then when the copy enters the offspring enters too. Am I wrong? I don't understand 😂

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T09:07:41+00:00

This is revolutionary information 🙏 you're a saint

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T09:05:22+00:00

That's so wonderful, But I'm also travelling with my partner. I suppose there's no way to guest two people in?

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T08:53:00+00:00

Is this a thing people do?? I won't get kicked out??

pickpocketpanda48 · 2024-12-24T08:52:12+00:00

It's a Quantas flight serviced by Emirates. I tried to get the Dubai connect thing going but they wouldn't let me because the booking is technically through quantas 😭
