My mom is a school counselor at a tiny school in a tiny town in Montana. There is no way the school stays open. Or 90% of our public schools for that matter. Part of me wants to tell her “I told you so” but generally it just sucks so bad I don’t have the energy

Are we that degenerate already??

Bummer, but I do think her second ability might be a little strong and annoying if she also was making a ton of energy on her own. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll look into a first/double strike sub-theme, and additional combat as well

Thanks!! Definitely will change how I build the deck

My coffee ritual has started getting super complicated, but if James Hoffman tells me I need to do my pour over with two kettles at once in order to reduce acidity, I’ll do it.

I’m thinking about the Christmas letter idea more: each person’s card could reflect a life event from the last year - for example, my dad sprained his knee so his card could be an aura debuf with knee-sprain flavor text or something. Then the letter could go into details on our last year in the sections that aren’t meant to be cut.

Pretty sure I’m 100% doing this next year. Wish I thought of it a month ago!

IMO the Windows Store is why valve has invested heavily into gaming on Linux. Windows Store could easily become a huge Steam Store competitor if Microsoft were an effective company. So Valve wants to enable devices that don’t run Windows. Numerous other benefits for something like the Steam Deck as well, but I’d bet we see another Steam Machine someday - probably after they convince more companies to support Linux

At this point I just stopped buying chips. Feels like such a waste to fill the bag less than half way…

In Teams I can’t use my system volume to control Bluetooth headphones… drives me bananas. Especially because one of my coworkers has a loud mic

Complexity creep is a problem in my opinion… yeah, some cards are fun and have to have quite a few words, but being able to play without reading and rereading is also nice. And keeping track of board state gets tiring

I super relate to the fast turnover. I want to enjoy a set and have time with it and actually learn the cards and get a feel for them. Chase some. Have my opinions changed on some. Then later, slowly get excited for the next set.

Feeling like I can’t keep up has me just ignoring whole products and sets

Never has there been a company that I wanted to love so badly, but hate. I even proxy my pauper commander decks these days. In the magic world, so many bad decisions. 30 year anniversary cost $1k for non-legal cards. Power creep and complexity creep are frustrating. Huge inflation. Bad story. Bad quality cards. It could all be so much better, but they focus only on short term profit instead of the player experience

Check out France protests sometime

If there’s any retro games you like, consider emulating!

Also, just wanted to say that I enjoy docking my deck to the TV and playing with a controller. Been playing Ark Survival Evolved with my brother all week

Most of us only know 5th grade math

Don’t preorder, and only buy early access if you’re happy with the game as it is at the moment you buy it

Treasure hunting story driven action game with dinosaurs, zombies, and aliens

Seems like a bit of a power dynamic problem… one could argue Job consented to all his bad treatment by trusting in the lord. Abraham was gonna kill his son. But I’d wager if I asked them, as a stranger, there’s no way any of them would consent. It’s the threat of etarnal fire that inspires such devotion and sacrifice. Bit of an unhealthy relationship if you ask me… my Christian parents are happy to ruin their lives for a better afterlife - including eroding their relationships with their kids. Bit sad. If I did believe in a god, I wouldn’t believe that he sent us here to make us suffer and make sacrifices.

But you are correct, the gospel I was looking at didn’t mention Mary giving consent. Just one of the problems of having 4 conflicting accounts…
