Depends - are these breakfast grits or dinner grits

While the premise of my post was to call out a gross subsection of the gaming community while also highlighting the ick factor of this game, I don’t need to deal with the folks who would willingly misread it as… supportive, somehow?
Easier to delete and move on

Epsom salt bath, big tumbler of ice water, find some old favorite media that made me laugh
When everything is awful, accepting that I cannot toggle every switch at once — like flipping a big despair pancake — means I can focus on the incrementals and start climbing the hill again

I haven’t failed a test this hard since I skipped all my Art History II classes and thought I showed up for the review day only to find out it was the day of the final

Whenever I hear removal is important and removal is plentiful, my brain creates this bell curve where one end is 22 Creatures and 1 combat trick, the other end is 13 kill spells, 7 creatures and 3 regrowths, and everything in the middle reads “you’re trying to draft Fair BG midrange in Vintage Cube”

I mean, how low is the bar for “Supporting the Trans Community” that “just being in prison shouldn’t mean they lose access to their health care” is supposed to count for anything?
Please understand that we’re looking for far vocal support of more than “the barest minimum, as the law allows”

Oh that’s 100% the case - it’s a memory hole of that feeling of holding your nose just to make sure you get Trump out of office because you see the results of four years of disaster.
I’m just pointing out that I have seen this exact thing as referenced, no matter how layered that truth might be.

I mean, it largely doesn’t? And it continues to do so less frequently, whether through new legislation or new judicial interpretations of existing laws.
Seeing that trend *as a layman*, I see the notion of “I will follow the law” as an abdication of moral leadership - the thing we’re asking of them

Our disagreement lies in what constitutes a “pro trans position”, I guess, and I don’t think it’s a radical interpretation to say that her position was — at best — neutral.

I mean, I guess I’ll bite - can you find an example where the campaign said anything more than the benign “we will follow the law” rhetoric we heard for most of the summer? Because I can’t.

I don’t think we need to retcon this - there hasn’t been strong vocal support for the trans community on the national party level and “strategies” like these continue to act like there has been and that it’s being rebuked.
It’s good to reinforce your support for vulnerable populations actually!

And while you might infer that I see that as the correct decision, turning off my mom (who voted for Biden but simply didn’t vote in ‘24), instead I think it’s a cowardly choice that isn’t rooted in reality.

Anecdotally, my mom decided not to vote for her because of her support of trans people. That’s it —that was the issue that was a tipping point, apparently.
Broadly, though, she and the campaign were extremely quiet about that support! Almost as if they were trying to avoid being seen as supportive!

Ok so when I just googled this (because it fell off my radar last year) it’s listed as Action/Tower Defense/Real-Time Strategy?!
That’s almost an unfair combo, why am I not quitting my job and starting to play this right now

The magnetism I feel for shows I have no general interest in watching *simply because they are apparently Best in Class wrt some specific facet of their existence* is incalculable
Posts like this are an absolute service for folks like me who struggle to get over the hurdle of “I’m not interested”

It’s gonna be refreshing to just kind of get to back off of spoilers for a bit after locking in for the whole FF deluge

If I had to pick nits, I’d say it leads to very specific art direction for some of the cards that could have pulled inspiration elsewhere
But also, I’m still at like, a 16 out of 10 on the hype levels for the set writ large, so it’s a very tiny nit

I love 14 — 2200 hours and counting — and even *I’m* exhausted by the representation.
I genuinely think the decision to make Precons for four of the five games most represented in the base set was a tactical error. (FF9 sitting in 3rd place right now, but I guess that doesn’t consider alt arts?)

Agreed —
However, I am prepared to hate on these wieners who simply can’t adapt to the directive of “be proactively decent to other people”

That moment where I have to wonder if Silicon Valley and Silicone Valley are different things, followed immediately by being so upset that I’m wasting brainpower on that thought

I can never in good conscience ask another person to dedicate that much time to a thing, even one I’ve enjoyed as much as this one.
But it is very good.

This is very funny to me because it’s the FF8 MC’s Ultimate Weapon, granting one of the strongest multi-hit attacks in the game, and it’s *probably fine* for draft.
Meanwhile, Buster Sword is the FF7 MC’s *starting weapon* and it’s going to do so many broken things in so many formats.
