It was a self-imposed challenge.

I’ve always been curious about Arma, but I’m not sure if I’d like it… It appears to have a lot of depth, but the learning curve always seemed rather steep.

Starfield faked me out for a bit when I took the character creation perk that gave my character living parents that I could go visit and would show up from time to time. They were funny and adorably charming, and I thought it was an inspired touch. Little did I know that was the absolute best part of that game…

“Let them fight.”

I’d say most of them are protestants, but there’s been a trend of a certain type of far-right “RETVRN TO TRADITION” wingnuts converting and becoming hardline tradcaths in the last decade or so. Those people absolutely would seethe over a black pope.

Now that you mention it, I think you might be right… My memory’s not the best lol. From the other replies, it seems that the rarity of redeye these days comes from the timing of modern cameras’ flash, not whether or not it uses film.

Wait, do digital cameras not do the red eye effect? Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen a photo with red eye in it in a long time, but I had always assumed that was a consequence of the camera flash, not the film…

Edit: TIL that camera redeye does come from the flash, but it hasn’t been much of a thing these days because today’s phones/cameras adjust the flash timing to compensate. Thanks for the replies!

I think “mandatory physical versions” kinda misses the point of the issue, tbh. It’s bad digital rights laws that are the cause of the problems that you’ve mentioned, not a lack of physical media. DRM has been around a lot longer than digital downloads of games, and shutting down a game’s online services affects purchasers of physical disks just as much as digital downloaders.

Besides, mass-producing physical media is expensive, and I’d rather not give publishers another excuse to make games even more expensive than they already are.

I think the implication is that an anxious person would be so worried about the other person’s model of them that it takes up all of the space in their brain.

Well, I guess “making your country such a shithole that no one wants to come here” is technically one way to stop immigration…

Could they have made the headline any more misleading??

“I am the saber-toothed seal” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, though…

I can kinda see the “too fast” complaint with stuff like Brawl or other unranked modes, but in any ranked modes, winning is the point, so I feel like there isn’t really any room to complain about fast and efficient decks in ranked play. Idk which modes you tend to play, so that may or may not be relevant. At the very least, fast decks let you get on to the next match sooner.

Agreed on ropers, of course, though I don’t see a whole lot of intentional roping that often. However, I usually play Brawl, and otherwise have only have one janky ranked Historic deck that usually hangs out in silver, so I don’t know if it’s worse in higher rank tiers. More often I see people who just seem to have trouble making decisions quickly, or don’t seem to notice that they have priority until the rope starts. It’s mildly frustrating, but it usually doesn’t appear to be intentional so I try not to get too mad about it.

On wilds, I actually got into the Arena alpha test back in the day, but I’ve taken a few multi-year breaks from it since release. I’ve found that if you play consistently across the lifetime of a set, you can end up filling out a lot of it, but actually catching up on sets that you’ve missed, especially if there are years’ worth of them, is a nightmare. I’m probably going to have to wait for another rotation before I can really think about trying to get into Standard. I can’t imagine how bad it is for brand-new players…

Which is why it failed.

Other than the pets and to some extent the triggers, this mostly just seems like complaints about Magic itself. It also strikes me as odd to complain about decks that are too fast and decks that are too slow simultaneously…

At any rate, my main problems with Arena are the horrifically slow wildcard economy and the lack of multiplayer Brawl.

A lot of the far-right chuds that would take Putin up on this offer are well above combat age. Now, using these people to make up the labor shortfall caused by the Ukraine war? I can absolutely see that one.

Either that, or he’d just pamper them in exchange for utilizing them as propaganda mouthpieces for his regime.

“Any target” would be excessive IMO, but letting it hit Planeswalkers could be reasonable. On the other hand, being able to clear out everyone’s creatures makes it easier to swing in on walkers as it is.

Just block it, damn

Is it just an alternate version, or will all copies of this card in Mystery Boosters be white-bordered?
