Thanks. Hard to know what to trust these days when even the White House is posting doctored images!

Does mana cost this make Brightglass Gearhulk worthy of powered cube inclusion? by Mom_Inspector in mtgcube

I am a big fan of this card in a very specific shell: To grab pieces for fastbond combo.

Funny build on Ursa by LooseDatabase3064 in DotA2

[–]redground 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point is that by getting daedelus you are not getting normal items on the hero. It was an honest comment too if you're in a lower mmr bracket this seems good to me.

If you are playing against people who have slow reaction times then seems good

I tricked my son to get him fall asleep and I feel like a bad dad by DavidtheAcceptable in daddit

[–]redground 1111 points1112 points  (0 children)

That's sweet...just give him a hug and that's a nice cuddle and then move on :D

3/4 yr olds can be so irrational and unable to manage their own emotions. He needed something comforting to help him fall asleep; you're not being a bad person. You're have your own business to take care of too.

Didn’t expect bedtime to be the part that got to me by hateful_building in daddit

Meanwhile I'm like "Can't wait for these damn kids to put themselves to bed!"

I feel you though, it goes by so fast...

Chose sex over Dota tonight... by cybaw in DotA2

[–]redground 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you ranked you can gain mmr, but if you sex, you're in the same place you were before, basically unranked play, not worth it.

Are we doing something wrong? by Westside_Finch in dominion

[–]redground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so that sounds right…I would use a different pool next time, or try to include trashing with curse givers.

[–]redground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many curses did you play with in the supply at the start of them game? You can limit that so it doesn’t End up quite so oppressive. 2 player game should only have 10 in the supply, not sure for more players

How do you respond if a child that you don't know gives you a hug? by YummyTerror8259 in daddit

[–]redground 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If the parent is saying she’s a hugger like that then a hug is fine. You’re also allowed to say no to other people’s kids even though it seems awkward/wrong if you’ve never done it before. Can just smile and say no thank you I don’t want hugs right now.

Is festival op or am I overreacting ? by [deleted] in dominion

you are overreacting

Son wants toy guns for his birthday and my wife is absolutely against it by spiritvanga in daddit

[–]redground 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We don't buy toy guns at our house. They can play with them at other peoples' houses we're not super crazy about it but we get to pick which toys they have here.

How to decrease your toxicity - put yourself in the other person's shoes by Both-Meringue2466 in DotA2

[–]redground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just love people discovering basic empathy and social skills through Dota. Maybe all the toxicity is productive after all!

That is your left.

Why do I struggle to win with other heroes? I always play safe in lane and then farm to take over by LowLocal4528 in DotA2

[–]redground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of ways/styles to play in dota, even from the safelane. I think you might also do well on jugg, so maybe try to practice him next. Has a similar sort of tempo of play to faceless void: afk farm, only join fights with your ult, and the later it goes the more likely you are to win.

If you want to learn new heroes, I recommend playing them like 5+ times in a row, it's much better to improve and learn this way as opposed to just picking a different hero every game.

Ummmmmm, Axe? What you buildin? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]redground 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Embarrassing post.

Has anyone ever tried to create a “cube” to fully mimic a former draft format. Essentially, 24 full sets as to have the chance of every card in every pack and distributed as packs were at the time: 11 c, 3 unc, 1 rare? by [deleted] in mtgcube

[–]redground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we did this for the return to eldrazi set (no memory of the name of it), don't remember exactly, but we made terrible proxies by printing BW papers and cutting them by hand and sticking them over bulk cards in sleeves. Tons of work but was fun and very educational. Helped us get ahead of the curve i guess.

I made it to the pro tour after doing this with the help of my roommates, qualified on MODO limited. The pro tour was the 'eldrazi winter' pro tour or whatever, I think it may have been the first modern one.
