I'll try to stream when I can, but it's hard to motivate myself atm.
🧵As many of you know, we're without a car at the moment. It's costing us money not to be able to drive, as we don't live in a town with good public transit (particularly for disabled people) and we have to order delivery or use Lyft to get around. We're gonna be running out of
@MagicNewGirl But having a format healthy ban list allows for general deck building practices that lead to fun games for everyone, not just pet overpowered card enthusiasts.
@MagicNewGirl Honestly, this conversation is off the rails at this point. It isn't "rule 0" vs bans. It's "are the bans being handed down legitimate, and are they enough to keep the format healthy."
See, the good part about rule 0 is that it can be used to discuss breaking rules, like bans.
@golgariguy This is a card I would have to build around getting value from. That said, landfall is such an amazing strategy that the value I would get if I did so would be insane.
The only thing TLJ did wrong was get released to an audience so mired by their patriarchal (and outright machismo) expectations that they couldn't appreciate the fact it was talking directly to them and saying, "actually, no."
@GeeNrk@Toonimator@nude_gunray@just_jayd3n_ And thus, wouldn't be something most species could just make use of. The Duros are being credited with the technology being used in Canon. They are being credited with doing this long after the fall of the Rakatan empire.
@GeeNrk@Toonimator@nude_gunray@just_jayd3n_ Nothing of the ancient Rakatan empire survives in any meaningful way. There are myths, a few archaeological records, yes, but not a lot of hard scientific fact. Also, I assume they're gonna go with the old school lore and say Rakatan hyperspace travel was enabled by the force,
This is such a fundamentally ignorant statement. Yes, at all times, we should be critical of power. Imagine a world where we weren't. There'd be a genocidal maniac in Congress and everyone would be applauding them because they're afraid to critique power or some shit ... Wait ...
People may not like it but this statement is arguably the hardest Contrapoints ever cooked. Just totally illuminates how a certain brand of person On Here thinks.
@the_whar Blueprints in action, throughout our legal system at that time. Segregation, ugly laws, anti gay laws, etc. We were exactly what Hitler drew inspiration from.
Fighting dictators is not proof of antifascism. Being antifascist requires a greater restructuring of ideals.
@the_whar Status quo liberalism. Pouring money into the criminal justice system lock away criminals because crime is inevitable, and therefore, we need to punish it.
In that focus, it becomes easy to continue this ideal under fascism.
America fought the fascists in WW2 but we had the
@_xriptidez_@Th3Foo1 @ArcLines70074 @the_whar Setting aside the curse that got added to the lore, that belief is inherently a conservative one. It requires a lack of faith in people, and a Justice solution that doesn't try to prevent crime, only to forcefully stop it.
With the curse, it doesn't necessarily mean crime.
@dansbro12@KaiserNeko 3's visual design, in every real life conversation I've ever had about it, is laughed at mercilessly. Banana hair and no eyebrows? Why? For what reason?
It isn't interesting simply because it's different.
@jollorancho @IanFlynnBKC @KaiserNeko Just the fact that God ki functions differently, and that blue can be used in tandem with kaioken makes it infinitely more interesting than any powerup since og super Saiyan.
3 is kinda whack because to me, that ground was already tread by muscle form.
The Acolyte gave us Cortosis, Kyber Crystal Bleeding, Lightsaber Whips, Force Vergences, and Darth fucking Plagueis.
It should be a lore nerd’s dream, but a YouTuber was mad about “lesbian witches.”

@AlkiHistoriker I was talking to someone about this today, about how, most manufactured goods actually should be made to last, and thus, most factory production would be finite as we aren't producing as much.
The greatest flaw in ML thought is that they wanted to mimic capitalism's growth rate
