Yeah, my problem with this take is that it really assumes that anime dubs started with Cowboy Bebop. There are a lot of dubs that are just brutal to watch because the localization was done dirt cheap. Bubblegum Crisis is on Peacock, and that dub is rough (and they don’t have a subbed option). And don’t get me started on Speed Racer…

I can post the current list on the discord, but I have a custom Jump-Start box that I built that is a LOT of fun to play with. It has pre-sleeved 20 card theme packs (bagged in team bags) and each player picks two at random to shuffle together for an instant deck. The packs are also super fun to design, and I think the sleeves cost more than the cards themselves. Keeps a consistent power level between players and doesn't rely on newer players having to figure out how to draft/build a deck correctly.

So I definitely agree with MaRo that Magic isn’t one game, but actually several distinct games with shared pieces and rules, because Commander is not for me personally, and I have been playing Magic for most of its existence. I get why people like it, but it doesn’t scratch the same itch as playing in a constructed event for cash. My only real complaint with Commander is that it is a terrible way to on-board new players, and maybe losing with some janky brews at FNM isn’t the atrocity some players have made it out to be.

I know it's cringe, but I just want good things for him and his family.

I keep to the honorable, ancient ways- drafting for $20s

Please let there be other oldheads on there, so we can talk about Invasion block constructed, how terrible Masques constructed was, how good and rewarding Caw-Blade was for disciplined players, etc

PLOT TWIST: these guys all end up marrying brassy, chainsmoking older waitresses named Barb or Midge who say stuff like, “more java, hun?”

Such a great show

Trip is a great word for that series

People are too focused on the washable paint, not focused enough on climate change, and even less focused on the underground base beneath Stone Henge where Dr. Andonuts and Apple Kid are being held hostage.

So the “cool” part of this is obviously deeply ironic, but I think the bit hinges entirely on the fact that Hunter is such an extreme fuckup to the point of caricature. While I genuinely don’t know anything about him other than what was said on Chapo, I do think it’s funny that the son of a sitting president once ascribed to Liberation Theology (which is good). Also, Don Jr. would absolutely shit his pants if he was in the same room as Hunter, which would be funny.

Web 1.0 is roughly the early internet up to the start of Facebook. Web 2.0, which we are in now, is the consolidation of the internet into a series of “walled gardens”, where most people engage with the internet though one or more platforms (FB, Twitter, etc), the rub being that these platforms are moderated (and privatized). Web 3.0 is not a thing (yet?), but it’s the idea that decentralization through blockchain technology will create a new “phase” of the internet

I’m an elder millennial and I have known who Alfred E Neuman is for most of my life despite not reading Mad magazine regularly (always felt like more of a Gen X/late Boomer thing). Obviously the Simpsons referenced Mad a lot, and MadTV was the greatest sketch comedy show on Saturday nights.

For what it’s worth, I think that was Mayo Pete trying to insult trump in the weakest way possible, and it was an utter failure.

Love this whole album

How could you possibly be so wrong about 08th MS Team
