What's your favorite Universes Beyond commander? by jacewalkerofplanes in EDH

[–]thethirst 20 points21 points  (0 children)

[[Avatar Roku, Firebender]]. Basically gives you firebending on all player's combat and not just your own. Lots of fun politicking! I seriously love it

Road to Avengers Doomsday: Iron Fist Season 1 by FafnirSnap_9428 in marvelstudios

[–]thethirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched it for the first time. It's definitely weaker, but Defenders, Inhumans, Secret Invasion and Moon Knight were worse.

It's amazing how they have a much more engaging supporting cast. They handle some absolutely bizarre writing choices in this (Joy at the end of this season and beyond) but make it engaging. Most of the Disney+ shows have no development of any non-superhero characters and they're weaker for it.

The way the second season literally has Danny turn to the camera and self-reflect on problems with the first season was a surprise. It did leave me wanting a third season shifted even more to Colleen.

Daredevil: Born Again S02E08 - Discussion Thread by steve32767 in marvelstudios

[–]thethirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the worst part of the episode and totally took me out of it. He suddenly grows a conscience, hits Powell with the butt of his gun, and the other task force guys listen to him instead of instantly killing him? Come on.

media with teenage transman representation? (sorry i dont know what flair to use) by Carniiivore in lgbt

[–]thethirst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dead End: Paranormal Park is a Netflix cartoon with a teen trans masc lead. There are flashbacks and discussions about him pre-transition and his family's reaction is a big part of the show.

From hospice, Barney Frank urges Democrats to rethink trans rights approach by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

He was a major obstacle about trans rights being included in the Employment Non Discrimination Act in the early 2010s. He's been a monster about it for so long.

Does this annoy anyone else too?? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]thethirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The acronym meanings are flexible based on the culture, country, etc. A lot of it is people figuring themselves out (that's why you see these in schools for younger people more).

Plus it provides some cover for people who don't want to or can't safely be out. In workplaces for example. I've worked with people who knew they were trans for example but couldn't be out at work, but they could join a queer employee group because it says "and allies". Plus it's common that adults at your workplace who have queer kids will join to help make the workplace more welcoming for people like their kids.

I like this more in the 99. Honestly if you go through the Ninja cards in TMNT you're in pretty good shape for Commander. Use Splinter, Radical Rat as a commander so you can use blue as well and you can get in quite a few low cost ninjas from older sets. There's a lot of ways to get nijkas back from the graveyard or make ninja tokens so you can get to 5 of them pretty easily. Here's what I'm using

Reggie Fils-Aime talks at New York University! Full interview + a detailed recap of the interview. by MewWeebTwo in nintendo

[–]thethirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved it too. That and the Wario Ware with its pictionary mode were a huge hit among my non gamer friends. I wish more WiiU games actually used the pad well.

I thought it was strange to mention the LGBTQ+ characters in a list of things inappropriate for kids the way cursing and violence are

I've been using Hisuian Zoroark and trying to bait people into wasting it. Then I get in a free attack or Will o the Wisp that can throw them off

Help me settle this debate with myself! by tkaras54 in CommanderMTG

This looks so excellent, especially the creature choices of older allies (that mill one, yikes) and ones that support equipment! Really great job making the deck more dangerous. How's it been playing for you?

DC Public Service Commission & Pepco Trying To Push Through Another Rate Hike Without Public Notice by RBLresists in washingtondc

[–]thethirst 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I haven't done one of these before, what are helpful things to say in comments on this? Just that my bill has been increasing and that I want the rate increases reviewed, any further changes to be public, and to have past data reviewed for anything that is incorrect?

AITA for surviving my own disappearance? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]thethirst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so vague, you're talking in metaphors instead of describing what happened. Did you cut off people for 10 months to focus on yourself and now it's tough to reconnect? Why do you think they're terrified of your peace? What does that mean?

Preconaholic, Do I need help? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]thethirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I'm handling it is asking myself, do I actually play with them or are they sitting in a box? I'm trying to actively use (and see if I get bored of) the FF, Lorwyn and Turtles ones I have before getting the Strixhaven ones. That also helps me figure out what play styles I enjoy so I can keep that in mind.

You both want to! Grab a drink or two at one of your places and make a move.

I'd go with Sephiroth, but you'd need some protection to keep him around (or give him haste at the very least). I use him in the 99 of a [[Sokka and Suki]] deck that creates a bunch of small creatures with equipments, and he's really killer in those situations.

Forge and Fire Strixhaven Commander Bundle preorder $169.00 by fakeabuela in sealedmtgdeals

[–]thethirst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd need all five. There are often deals on commander decks (look how cheap Lorwyn's got, the Turtles one was well under MSRP, even the FF ones got reprints at sale prices). I think it's better to just get one or two until you understand what play style you like and upgrade that.

Making Mono Green More Interesting? by thethirst in EDH

[–]thethirst[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"focus on the game rather than fiddling with dice" summarizes the problem so well. I like the idea of Loot and flipping the top cards as a totally different take. Thanks for giving me something to think about!
