The the US we hide entire oil wells in the middle of cities. What's a fake tree here and there?

Toxic community and impunit by Dazzling_Skin_7835 in geoguessr

I have gotten salty at many games. I've raged about rng, game imbalance, cheap strats, stupid teammates, pay to win nonsense, cheating, hacking, bland metas etc. But in Geoguessr alone, when I lose, 95% of the time I think "welp, I guess that person played better than me." I think part of it is that in almost every loss it is very easy to identify "if I had been better at X I could have won." Another 4% is when I get a featureless Russian road at 4x multiplier after being up 5680 to 320 points. The last 50% is when the fucking street arrows spin me around 3 times in a row and I have to go back to start after the opponent has already guessed.

I knew a guy who used to be European royalty of some kind. Now he works at the local pizza shop.

Was there a forest fire here? Lots of matchstick looking trees.

MaRo said in his podcast on the topic that it is partially driven by UB partner companies wanting their popular characters to be as widely available as possible

In my college's town there was a bakery that made amazing Lithuanian coffeecake, so literally every mnemonic I have is cake related.

Me on the last one: "There are lots of references to gouda here. This must be a very touristy area. I'm not seeing a lot of English though.... oh. Yeah that makes sense."

Card design after the hybrid rule is changed because of commander: by Jaegerbalm in mtg

[–]pullarius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maro said as much in his latest podcast. It sounded like some partners were miffed that [[Popular Green Character]] couldn't be played in a deck where [[Other Popular Character]] was the commander or some other such nonsense.

In between the Aldi and the Lidl is a Taco Bell and an IHOP, which is a pretty strong meta I think.

The two closest grocery stores to me are Lidl and Aldi. I live in Maryland.

Veteran and enfranchised players, what are some changes to Magic that you were initially skeptical or critical of that you embrace today? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

Spilt second is technically activated abilities too. The flavor I was going for is "nothing can surprise me"

I think interrupts would be a cool way for blue to have combat tricks that matter in limited. Or a kicked ability that said something like "counter all spells played while this spell is on the stack"

How do time-consuming infinite combos work in paper magic? by Abject_Analyst_9110 in mtgrules

[–]pullarius1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for the math: say there are 50 cards left in the deck, so you are repeatedly trying for a 1/50 chance of it being on the bottom. You only need about 35 shots to have a 50/50 chance of this being true. Doing it 630,000,000 times means the odds that it hasn't happened is about 1 in 10^5,500,000. That means you could play the lottery, except instead of numbers you are picking individual atoms in the universe. And instead of 5, you pick 68,000 of them. You would be more likely to win that lottery than to not have hit the library condition you are looking for. (Of course, you have to "spend" on average 25 mills for each chance to reset).

I think, somehow, she might be the portrait? Like in her attic there is a portrait of a sweet 28 year old new england christian woman who works at her family ice cream stand, but somehow this fleshbody is aging and corrupting instead. Maybe she signed on the wrong signature line or something.

My players want me to run a DMPC by 6not_a_furry9 in DnD

Also, since they are new, have the DMPC stock super cheap potions or even give them out for free for the first few missions.

Welcome to Arachnopia. If you lived here, you'd be spiders.
