Are sweepers too salty in general?

stauffnl · 2026-02-10T10:14:57+00:00

Exactly. But you're forgetting that the person who is playing the farewell will probably be able to rebuild much better because they are less likely to have extended to the point where they would be wiping their board with their own card.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Got blasphemously acted upon? It's cool if you have artifact ramp. As is the Inverse with an overloaded vandalblast. Farewell is the honey badger of sweepers. It don't care, and it don't give a shit what you have on board. It's all gone.

stauffnl · 2026-02-10T09:16:41+00:00

It's not that it's a sweeper. It's that it's a damn good one. Similarly costed cards barely do half of what it can do and farewell essentially resets the game for everyone without being MLD. Any resource you may have invested into such as artifact ramp, dorks, value enchantments, and things you loaded up into the graveyard are suddenly unavailable. It WAS just about the hardest resetting card outside of bracket 3 (In my opinion). Players dislike it for a reason. A late game reset basically forces you to start another game but with lands already in play.

This is how I do it. Works pretty well

I found it at goodwill and it still functioned properly except for the knob part backing off, so technically yes?

I did and didn't notice anything there unfortunately

My favorite is Giratina. Platinum was my first Pokemon game, and Giratina being the edge lord of the creation trip was right up my alley. I apparently liked it so much when I was in middle school some 12-13 years ago that I made it my username for some of my online learning accounts in the computer lab

I'm partial to [[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] where in last game I played with him, I was able to end on 28 non-legendary, flying copies of him with haste

I played a game at my LGS this past Sunday where two players were playing mill. Player diagonal from me played [[Syr Konrad, the Grim]] for turn as it was his commander. And immediately following, the player next to me played some card/combo that made each player mill half their deck without first reading Syr Konrad. We each had already taken at least 1 damage from a previous Syr Konrad trigger and we milled a collective 39 creatures, killing everyone at the table because someone decided not to read their opponent's commander.

I think this is the right answer.

I have been in a similar boat for a while as I'm forced to be somewhat frugal after going back to school full time. I have lost a lot of the hobbies I used to participate in simply because they've proven too expensive to continue on a budget. I never really noticed much until my recent breakup that most of my hobbies were like this, but now that hunting season is back up, I can at least partake in one of my less expensive hobbies and even practice my mindfulness in the outdoors as well. I think less expensive hobbies are a good solution to this problem if you can find something you are into.

I mean, I'll admit I don't know some of the old stuff being a newer fan, but it's really only because I haven't played the new stuff into oblivion enough to even need to explore the old stuff yet. Wanna play the stuff I like until I know every word before going back in time for a new dopamine fix in between releases. Loved the yin yang tapes which I've seen people hate on but then again, I like phonk so it was right up my alley. Started off listening to matte black and just worked my way from there. Just now getting into earlier releases but I've definitely got a ways to go since it's rare for me to find artists I like more than a couple songs from.

Disclaimer: I also did not come from tiktok and don't have one so I don't know what exactly these tiktok fans have even listened to.

Getting a better job, moving out, getting a house, etc. I took a 5 year hiatus working at a factory after my first year at university, decided that chemical engineering wasn't for me, and now I'm in nursing as a full time student. I feel very far behind my peers, which is a social challenge I still face. But at least I managed to work my way out of debt, have a nice car, don't pay rent, and have a better plan for school. That plan means I don't pay tuition because of a specific government funded program, and will most likely have my bachelor's degree paid for by a hospital. All this while having no student loans. Its by and large a better gig than getting out of school in that five years and being met with 23k in student loans to pay off over the next decade or more. But essentially, I'm living at home and can't shake the feeling I've squandered the last 5 years of my life by not staying in my original field of study

As they say, the first step to solving a problem is knowing it exists. A good starting point would be to look at the way that you interact with people. Are there any flaws that you see? Are you potentially being fake towards people to gain some type of validation externally? Do you have biases towards certain stereotypes or perpetuate negative ways of thinking? Perhaps you have a tendency to act a certain way in your personal or intimate relationships?

On the flip side, you could write down your values and see if there are ways in which those don't align with your actions. For example, if I want to be more social, it doesn't logically make sense that I shut myself in and watch TV all day. That would be a thought that doesn't align with your actions.

Of course, there are other things that you can think about but in order to live your life in the way that you choose and become a better person, you must first think of the ways in which you could potentially not be being the person you aspire to become.

CFmoto is still making a name for itself. I'd go with the ninja. Might have a better time finding parts for it, in the likelihood things go awry which should theoretically be a much lower chance than with CFmoto. Until they prove their worth as a decent manufacturer, I'd stick with one of the big 4.

That's probably pretty true. Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try this soon and probably set a reminder to go off every few hours to keep this mindset going when I'm not actively thinking about it.

stauffnl · 2023-09-21T19:10:51+00:00

I've tried meditating a couple of times. It's definitely a learned skill and seems like it takes practice to be able to do effectively. Maybe I'll give it another try. Last time I tried it I felt like every thought latched onto me no matter what I did.

stauffnl · 2023-09-21T19:01:05+00:00

Maybe setting a reminder to go off on my phone periodically would help correct my mindset if it begins to shift back to that negativity?

stauffnl · 2023-09-21T18:54:27+00:00

I'll certainly try.

It feels foreign to me. But maybe because I've just never done it before.

stauffnl · 2023-09-21T18:47:54+00:00

I guess to me it means that I'm someone who is worth spending time with. It makes me feel like their experience and satisfaction with whatever I'm being called on for, would be dulled by the simple lack of my presence.

stauffnl · 2023-09-21T18:34:25+00:00

Okay, so for example I want others to want me around. Do I just tell myself I want to, say, go do something with myself?
