I tested the decks 1v1. Here are my thoughts:
Jund - Played the alt commander. Probably the most functional. Had decent curve, good removal
Eldrazi - played alt commander. interesting and ramped well, but was really hurting for removal
Lands - turn 4 Dark Depths combo twice. Otherwise it seemed a little dull due to lack of creatures that rewarded you for the lands
Spells - played the alt commander. Kinda clunky but okay. I don't like energy

William Anders, astronaut on the Apollo 8 mission, passed away earlier today.

Anders took the iconic Earthrise photo while orbiting the Moon with Borman and Lovell. No human had ever seen an Earthrise before.

On the transmission he says "Oh my God, look at that picture over there! It's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!"

My favorite thing about rocket launches is how the engineers report the status of events.
"Good test"
"Good burn"
"Good Centaur"
"Good cutoff"

I feel like they're praising the rocket for doing well.

@dan613 yeah I do a lot of costuming work but I don't want to spend 6+ hours and $80 of fabric on a new pair of pants.

@dan613 also I get that you mean well, but this isn't really a post looking for "helpful suggestions". The purpose is to vent and to remind people that the system is sexist and should change.

Quick question for anyone that may have some insights or opinions. Email newsletters. How do you feel about them? If it's your thing how often do you receive them? Do you tend to read them occasionally or every one (I know that's very subjective)? And if you write one or have written one what platforms would you recommend? I used MailChimp way way back but even then it had issues with being flagged as spam. I am considering creating one for an upcoming project to have more direct communication.

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

@pidgeon_pete The newsletters I get are either for local newspapers I signed up for, or crowdfunding projects I follow. It's all stuff that I could find elsewhere, but it's more convenient for it to come to me than for me to go to it.

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

@pidgeon_pete I'd go with the advice that I hear a lot of twitch streamers get, which is: Don't do it for other people, only do it if you're doing it for yourself. It's extremely hard and luck-based to get popular or make money. But if you doing it because you value the process and you enjoy it regardless of if other people are interested, then absolutely go for it and have a blast.

Alright, lots of heavy discussions today, so let's talk about something silly!

What is a movie that always makes you laugh?

Personal pick:

Anything Mel Brooks, but Robin Hood: Men in Tights, it's just funny every time I watch it.

A friend of mine just shared this because some random bigot on his FB was kicking off that the Duo owl would be pro-LGBT+ rights ("I'll DELETE THE APP!! OMG"). Obviously this is hilariously tragic and bigots should fuck off but I feel like there's a deeper question that needs answering here.

Namely: why does this owl have tits?

Is the Duolingo owl... a mammal?

@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

More #Babylon5 thoughts. We just got to season 2 and the show has dramatically improved, though it was a pretty low bar.
I do notice that every single female character is always wearing intense lipstick at all times, including all the aliens and also the lady in the hospital who just woke up from a 100-year cryo sleep.
Man the 90s were weird.

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

I'm enjoying some of the subtle build up. Obviously the plot with The Shadows is going somewhere, but I'm also interested in the parallel plot of Earth government quietly slipping into fascism. Im looking forward to the show exploring at what point does the soldier say "these laws are bad and I won't follow them"

Well I've never milled someone out with my aggro deck before.

I was playing an Iroas deck against a Gitrog deck.

Iroas pretty much only kills by attacking.
The Gitrog player played Constant Mists every turn, meaning I couldn't deal combat damage.

I managed to win by putting a Helm of the Host on Etali, and attacking with an ever-increasing number of Etalis.

By the end I was exiling and casing 15 spells from OP's deck every turn.

Then they ran out of cards

Magic the Gathering card The Gitrog Monster
Magic the Gathering card Constant Mists
Magic the Gathering card Etali, Primal Storm

@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

Also, by the end of the game I had basically my entire deck and OP's entire deck on my battlefield. It was dumb. I wish I'd gotten a picture.

Oh, also I had a Robber of the Rich stealing their cards too.

In the past two weeks, two people I know who were in their early 60s passed away from undiscovered heart problems. In both cases, they could have been detected early with a $200 heart scan.

Guys in your 50s: get your hearts scanned and save your family and friends a whole lot of pain and sorrow.

@c_dan4th you can add my uncle to the list of near misses. Last month he went to the ER where they figured out he had severe atrial fibrillation caused by blood clots in the heart. Now he's on medication and off work for a year, but at least he didn't push it further into a straight up heart attack

Anyone know a decent site to buy precon decks without scalper pricing?

Looking to pick a few up for at work. Preferably US based.

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

@ethanOS most anywhere you look will have decent prices on recent precons. If you buy the set, $40 per deck is pretty typical. If you buy single decks, the prices will vary some depending on the value of the cards inside. My preferred site is Game Nerdz, but most places should be similar. Avoid Amazon

@tabletopgamingdeals I've played this. It's a really fun game (assuming you like the type of games that take up the entire table).
Also the #minis are amazing. Absolutely worth the value for the minis alone

Biiiiig Rima.
My character, Rima Sahr, is a rune knight fighter. Rune Knights studied the magic of giants and have the ability to grow a size larger in combat. If you then case enlarge/reduce on them, they double in size again.
I have a 3D printer.

She's already the size of an action figure and I still need to print a huge and a gargantuan version (at 18th level I can become size huge before casting the growth spell)

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

@jonathankoren I've got the next size up printing right now. We'll see how it turns out.
I'll probably wait on the gargantuan one. I've still got 13 levels before I get there, so a good year and a half before I expect to need it.
I'll be sure to post the huge mini when it's finished
