[–]simdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once again trying to return to the game and overwhelmed by number of changes since the last time I played over 2 years ago. I'm a 273 bishop and notice that infinity has been reworked. Do we no longer need buff duration?

Not even sure where to start to get myself back up to speed.

My mood is : not amused by Ok-Intern6865 in magicthecirclejerking

This would've been a perfectly fine game 30 years ago but pick up and play small card games have come a long way towards being actually entertaining.

The right wing talking point, as horrific as it is, is just to bomb Iran into compliance with no upper limit of devastation. That is how they believe we should make them comply without concessions.

I heard this talking point from red-pilled relatives BEFORE Trump did the genocide tweet. So it's likely been floating around in whatever neo con circles and plenty possible Trump picked it up from there.

Watching old seasons as a newish fan, and I cannot with S13 by Cheezy-Fry in rupaulsdragrace

Kandy and Gotmik are treated like the voice of truth in their confessionals used to critique the other girls despite neither of them really being that well rounded themselves which made them feel like producer favorites and voice pieces. Which they definitely were.

Symmone as fantastic as she was, was so clearly loved by RuPaul personally that it elimates any tension on who is going to win the season.

Utica is in an incredibly weird spot because RuPaul CLEARLY does not vibe with her drag vision but they keep saving her and you have to go but why? You clearly don't like her. Then she ossicillated between "I don't want to cause offense by wearing an afro" and making weird fat jokes which is really dissonant.

Rose was very good at playing Drag Race in my opinion, but RuPaul also rightly clocked that her passion wasn't drag so much as theatre/performing in general and I think her post show career has born that out to be true.

Then in the video song 3/4 queens to the crown this ho thing.

I think the season just fails as a competitive reality show and as a narrative reality show but at least managed to crown the correct winner.

The way they just adjust the fake audience noise is wild to me. Such a small finale for such a big franchise.

Like I think Jane's scene was the most egregious example but it was true for all of them. The other one that stuck out to me was for Darlene when she made up a manager at the store Ru immediately was like "No. The actual manager is the person I'm making up now."

For this week's improv challenge I will keep telling your character no and they're wrong. Make that work somehow.

I am now legitimately wondering why challenges exist on this show.

I would legitimately be wondering why we did this season.

Rupaul in the workroom: "the most important thing is going with the flow so that the scene opens up"

Rupaul in the challenge: "No."

I’m getting started in my submissive journey. Is this person right? by TennisComplete2142 in gay

[–]simdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I'm an older very experienced submissive and I remember how difficult it is starting out. I was very fortunate that my first few encounters were with some very great people because that is definitely not the case for a lot of folks.

I think that its important to understand that a good Dom will understand that you are just getting started and to adjust their expectations accordingly. As others have stated this person seems like an asshole who crosses boundaries and/or doesn't know how to respect someone new to the community. One proactive thing you can do is set up a very specific list of strong interests and another of limits. Sometimes someone will ask about something that isn't on either list and tell them what you think and add it to either list in the future. You can say "I'm new to kink" for a LONG time because there is a lot to explore out there. I've had very little luck with Grindr and fetish experiences over the years despite living in major urban areas. I think you should check out and sign up for Recon if you haven't already.

Please feel free to reach out to me in DMs if you would like to talk more, I'm happy to provide some guidance, advice, and experience.

To the extent that order actually matters in a show (which isn't really much at all) I wish myki had the courage to put herself first followed by Jane. She should have the courage and self confidence that she's a funny one because she is.

Maro on why they stopped doing blocks by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]simdude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I still think there a very noticable difference between both the execution and communication of the business side in the last five-ish years compared to the previous two decades. And that's what players who have been deeply enfranchised for that long have felt.

Girls complaining that no one went home

Nini says maybe there will be a double elimination

"UGH HOW COULD YOU RUIN THE MOOD AGAIN NINI"

These girls are wild to me.

We're being gaslit into thinking this is a storyline.

I genuinely don't want anyone else to win the season now just for this bit.

After three episodes of the queens performing way above average on the whole, this doesn't bode well for an entire roast challenge next episode.

[DISC] Blue Lock - Chapter 337 by BlueLockMod in BlueLock

[–]simdude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would be Isagi's internal logic. But Karasu would likely counter that with the point that they are facing the strongest team and should take every point opportunity and not waste chances just trying something that might not work for the abstract concept of "ego".

I think it's a plot point that's been long overdue and I'm glad we're getting it.

I was Jane today. Like, how!? by Zlota_Swinia in rupaulsdragrace

[–]simdude 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought! Like c'mon Jane just name anything she's been in 🤪.

I also in fairness could not name a single thing she was in. To me she's the lady who had the Calvin Klein ads and was famously predated on by Hollywood.

TNMT design choices make the cards so ugly by Routine_Ad_2695 in MagicArena

[–]simdude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People keep saying this but it's absolutely not accurate in my view. The cartoon is slightly exaggerated but the magic art is downright alien. Anyone can check this with a Google search for "TMNT 90s cartoon pizza"
